Meal Prices
in Bottleneck

Washington, Aug. 26-lNS -
Further OPA moves to regulate and
roll back exorbitant restaurant
prices today appeared to be indef!.
nitely blocked by inaction OF the
Federal Bureau OF the budget and
provisions OF the recently-enacted
Taft Grade Labelling amendment
These tao factors. it was learned
constitute an unusual "bottleneck"
which prevents Price Administra-

something 10 lower them.
Subjected to severe criticism for
inactivity on this particular price.
control sector, OPA officials say
they are powerless to move.
The agency long ago started work
on so-called rollback techniques
which could be employed to depress
restaurant prices. The rollback was
to have followed the freeze which
did not come until prices had
climbed to what OPA agrees are
"ridiculously high levels IL count
less defense centers throughout the
nation.
OPA experts planned TO make a
factual study OF restaurant costs
and prices in two southern cities
one a war-inflated defense area. the
other little affected by the war
boom-to determine the proper
rollback method. Officials explained
that a fiat percentage rollback
might be grossly unfair in many in
tances.
