15Priice Panels
Will Be SET Up
In District Soon
Some Paid Assistants
Will Aid Appointees,
Thompson Says
BY JOHN T. LUTER.

Members of price control panels
for each of the Is local ration
boards will be appointed very soon,
Robert K. Thompson. head Of the
District ONCE of Price Administra-
ton. said today.
Set up chiefly to give retailers and
the public information on price
regulations, the new panels also
will have the power to recommend
disciplinary action in fragrant cases
OF ceiling violation. Each panel
will be aided by small group of
paid assistants, who will investigate
prices charged by retail establish
ments and investigate all COM
plants made to the panel.
Establishment of the new groups
another move in the battle against
rising retail prices here-was or
dered by Mr.. Thompson last night.
after meeting with Heath Moor
man, District rationing officer, and
M. L. Egert, local price executive.
Mr.. Thompson said that while the
District OPA will act shortly to
name panel members, the organiza-
ton may not become fully operative
for about 80 days.
Will Receive Training.
Like the ration boards already in
existence, the new price panels will
be composed of volunteer workers
selected as representative members
of their communities. In most cases,
panel will be composed of three
persons, probably including house.
wife, representative of labor and a
civic leader or other prominent per-
son.
The assistants to the panel will
be given intensive training, after
which they will become OPA en-
ployes.
Organization of price panel at
each local ration board marks the
first time the boards have entered
the price control picture, District
OPA officials pointed out.
Attacks Restaurant Prices.
Meanwhile, the Washington In
dustrial Union Council yesterday
attacked the prices charged and
small portions served in local restau-
rants. The CIO organization offered
services of its members in an effort
to police the retaurant industry.
Lodged with the local OPA, the
complaints brought assurances from
District OPAa officials that they
would do all in their power to keep
prices at normal level.

ments after Mr.. Ginsburg notified
his local board he was seeking an
Army commission.
Two days after it became known
that he was planning to volunteer
to advance his Army induction as a
private, President Roosevelt wrote
Price Administrator Brown deplor-
ing the unfair attacks" on the
youthful official and declaring that
"he has done too much for the war
effort already for us to ask him to
expose himself to further calumny
even though you and I personally
feel that he could be more effective

Piled"
Sought Deferment Cancellation.
Mr.. Nathan, who is "a and single,
announced he had asked his draft
board to cancel his occupational de-
ferment after his committee, once a
key group in WPB, had most of its
power removed under a general
WPB reorganization.
Mr.. Nathan said at the time that
he had been on the planning and

wanted to get the other side of the

Potatoes May Begin
Arriving in D. {. by
Middle Of May
Housewives Are Unlikely
To Be Able to Get Any
For Another Month

The possibility that new potatoes
would begin moving into Washing
ton from Florida about the middle
Of May was foreseen by produce
dealers here today, but they admit
ted that hopes of getting abundant
shipments for civilian use were
slight.
In the first place, they pointed
out, the Florida crop, hit twice by
frosts, has been reduced to about So
per cent of the normal yield. When
the potatoes are ready for shipment
Army quartermasters will get the
first chance to buy them. And the
dealers here are aware of the large
number of camps between here and
Florida. For some time, they say
buyers for the armed services have
been ready to pounce on the Flor
ida potatoes just as soon as they
are taken from the ground.
Perhaps by the end of May. pro-
duce men say, civilians here will be
able to get white potatoes once
more. At that time, crops from the
Carolinas and the Eastern Shore of
Virginia will be ready. If Army and
lease-lend buyers don't take too
much o. these supplies. civilians
may be able to get all they want
again.
Ordinarily Florida potatoes are
already on the market by this time,
and Carolina potatoes are due to-
ward the middle of May. Unfavor-
able weather conditions, however
not only damaged the crops but
retarded those which survived.
Meanwhile, only trickle of old
Maine potatoes has been flowing
into the District. Whenever q car
load arrives, dealers report, buyers
for the Government take them over
and dole out few bags for the re-
tail markets. The Government was
given priority rights on the re.
manning stocks of Maine potatoes,
but dealers say that Federal buyers
still have not been able to purchase
enough to meet their requirements
Other produce, according to re-
ports, was being shipped into local
markets in greater quantities now
than q few weeks ago. Lettuce was
still scarce. but commission mer-
chants believed fresh supplies would
start coming in soon. A few vege-
tables, such g broccoli, were almost
non-existent In local stores. Beeta
are scarce, but they soon win start
coming from Pennsylvania and New
jersey, dealers said.
