OPA Bill Here 100000 i'm Year.
40 Agents Get &c Cases TO Court
Housewives Best
Price Enforcers
Despite Costly Staff
BY EDWIN BRAND

Although the Detroit office of
the OPA has spent more than
100000 for Investigations and
legal talent during the last year,
housewives today were asked to
help the agency enforce its laws.
Created for the express purpose
Of holding down the cost of living.
the OPA came out with a brand
new slogan today. II is:
Every housewife the guar
dian Of her own pOcketbOOk."
The housewife is asked not only
TO refuse TO purchase commodi-
ties above ceiling prices but 10
report violations 10 her local
board. This is in spite of the
fact that the agency has a staff
of DO investigators and eight at
torneyS.
ONLY FIVE EXPERIENCED
OF the 40 investigators, less
than five had previous experience
in criminal investigations and
only three members of the legal
staff have practiced in criminal
courts, a survey showed today.
The local office. which repre-
sents 13 counties, has taken only
So criminal cases to federal court.
Convictions have been obtained
| in 33 and % cases are still
pending.
The office also procured injunc-
tions restraining "a violators from
further violations of OPA rules,
issued warning notices TO l,02S
and presented "a ration suspen-
sion order cases to the OPA COM
mission.
For this the staff Of investiga-
tors and attorneys received APP
proximately S97, 800 annually in
salaries, exclusive of expenses.
DON'T NEED DETECTIVES
Asked why he did not employ
a staff trained in making crimi'
nal Investigations, Storm Van
deTzee. chief of the department
replied:
I'VE don't need detectives.
We make investigation but
most OF our work Is in checking
records. We check industries
and things like that to see that
they are not charging too much.
We base most of our cases on
records and. besides, our men
are approved by civil service"
Two weeks ago. OPA investi
gators seized records in twt
wholesale houses which. they ad
mitted, disclosed evidence of vic
IationS. Although the record!
are in the possession Of the
agency, it might take three
months TO complete the cases
Vanderzee said.
BEST ENFoRCERS
Housewives are the best per
sons 10 help enforce OPA rulings
officials said. They don't receive
salaries and expenses and the.
can get quick action.
! All a housewife has 10 do !
make a buy and report it to he
local board. If she has receip
so much the better, they say.
If she signs a complaint, a war
rant can be issued almost imme
diately. investigators say. A com
plant from an. investigator woulC
have the same results, il was said
but most of the investigators art
employed on industry-wide inves
legations.
