Goods to Smaller
Merchants


Washington, Oct. 2s-INS -
Price Administration officials today
were considering plans 10 step in
and seize excessive inventories Of
large chain stores, and allocate
them to smaller stores to assure
equitable distribution OF goods.
According to the OPA, inventories
in the hands OF chain and depart
ment stores have increased four or
five times as much as inventories
in the hands OF small retailers.
To prevent a squeeze OF small
dealers, the OPA planners were
drafting orders providing ior rigid
inventory controls and ALLEGATION OF
goods. Stocks held above limits set
by the OPA will be taken over by
the government. There even was
talk OF subsidies for distribution Of
such goods.
Most OF the controls were expect
ED to be placed over food items and
clothing
Important Place
OPA officials predicted that the
small stores will play an increasing
ly important part in the distribution
OF food. because OF gsoline ration
ing. They pointed out that many
persons who normally drive to so
called super markets will be forced
to turn to the corner grocery store
for their shopping.
In the case Of department stores,
OPA investigators found that stocks
were excessive" compared to the
volume of sales. and their report
has been placed in the hands of
Donald NJ. Nelson, chairman OF
the War Production Board
Nelson promised to issue the in
ventory control order soon. Be
cause Of dwindling supplies and
cuts in production. the OPA feared
that the larger stores would have
the advantage in buying up stocks.
The inventory control order was
expected to be clamped down be.
fore the Christmas shopping rush

Meanwhile. war manpower off
Gals predicted that the nations re-
tail stores may lose 100000 work
ers during the next year. due to the
draft and war industries. Many de
partment stores In large cities al
ready are finding it difficult to OBJ
tin help.
OPA officials said that part Of the
manpower question facing stores
may be solved by limiting the num-
Der OF hours a store may stay open.
1t was pointed out that such linn
itation might help to conserve fuel
and power during peak periods OF
the day. Such step, however, will
not be necessary before late 1913,
