BY PETER EDISON

An official regulation prohib-
iting the boarding of foods,
clothing, meats, gasoline. fuel oil
or any -and-everything else that
may be rationed is in the works
at the Office of Price Admins
tration. II and when 1t comes
out, this regulation will have
all the force of any other OPA
regulation, meaning that peo-
pie found guilty of violating it
will be subject to fines and i'm
prisonment up to $4,000 and
10 years in the Jail house.
The regulation may not be as
scary as it sounds. 1t isn't the
same as restoring an era of pro-
hibition by official order, 1t
isn't intended to spy on boarded
stocks in attic or cellar, and 1t
doesn't envisage any bootlegging
of rationed commodities. Better
than 90 per cent of the Ameri-
can people are beautifully and
voluntarily abiding by OPA
price ceiling orders and the an
ti-hoarding regulation is intend
ed merely for the unpatriotlc
less than 1 per cent who aren't
playing fair in this necessary
business.
Need for an withdrawing reg
ulation has been developing
gradually. In the case OF sugar

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

people had to declare the
amount of boarded sugar on
hand when applications were
made for sugar ration books. The
public was pretty honest about
that. Similarly, when gasoline
rationing was set up for the
eastern states. applicants had to
state how many gallons of re-
serve gas were stored in the ga
rage.
TIRE TROUBLE
Tire rationing went in with
out any demand for declarations
on boarded tires. That situation
is just being Strengthened out
by having every car owner de-
clare all tires held in excess of
five per car, turning in the
boarded extra tires by sale to
the government.
When the. coffee rationing
program was being drawn up,
it was not planned to have ap-
plicants declare how much cof-
fee they had stored in the pan
try. Then the runs on the cof-
fee stores began, and in some
places they were only slightly
less frantic than at the opening
of the Cherokee strip.
BY the time this situation had
developed, most of the educa-
tional campaign material on the
coffee rationing program had
been printed and instructions
had gone to registration centers.
1t was then too late to change,
so an alternative plan was work.
ed out. Exact dates and meth
DDS haven't been agreed on yet,
so the whole program can't be
given in all its details, but in
general it will probably work
something like this:
1. Barring a last m ! n e
change, the date for putting the
coffee rationing program into
effect will be Nov. g. Sales of
coffee from the stores to the
public will be stopped Nov. 81
to Nov. 20, to give the stores a
chance to build up stocks.
2. Consumers won't have to
register to get their first ration
ed coffee. Instead, they will use
stamp No. q in their War Ra-
ton Book No. 1.-The book they
now use for sugar. That stamp,
which must be left in the book,
will be good for one pound of
coffee for every person IA years
or older, and that pound will
have to last for five weeks, or
through Jan. 3, 1913.
3. And this is unfortunate.
On Nov. 20, every householder,
restaurant or other coffee user
should make a note of the
amount of coffee he has on hand.
The amount o; this boarded
coffee won't have to be declared
until later, but it will have to
be declared later and 1t will
figure in the amounts of coffee
which ration book holders will
be entitled TO in 1943.
AND DON'T CHEAT!
For anyone who thinks he can
beat this game by not declaring
boarded stocks of coffee - there
is already a regulation provid-
ing for $4,000 or 10-year pen
alties for making false declara-
ton.
But it is out of all this con-
fusion that the need for an over
all anti-hoarding regulation be-
came apparent. Price Admins
tration officials have beeng care
full about giving out advance in
formation on commodities that
might have to be rationed. In
spite of that caution, there have
been information leaks and re-
sulting runs on the stores.
With general withdrawing
regulation in effect, maybe all
that can be stopped.
