Business Congress
Urges President TO
Order 0PA Inquiry
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 15.-Directors
of the American Business Congress
declared yesterday that excessively
bad administration was hampering
the work of the Once of Price Ad-
nlinistration and asked President
Roosevelt to institute an investiga-
tion of the agency.
In a letter to the President signed
by George j. Seedman, Business
Congress president, the directors
said their group considered 'it es-
sential to the preservation of our
economy that this agency be
strengthened and continued-not
liquidated as currently proposed in
many quarters"
The American Business Congress
is an organization of wholesalers,
retailers and small manufacturers.
Ambiguous" Rulings.
The letter declared the OPA had
issued unnecessarily complicated
regulations which are often am
big lous" and added that the agency
took "a dogmatic attitude that OPA
regulations are correct as issued. and
that the critics DO not understand
the problem
The record indicates almost with
out exception" the letter added,
that the length of time required by
the national Office of the OPA to
correct an, error Is increased as the
need for such action becomes more
obvious"
Further, the letter asserted that
the OPA had not distributed its own
regulations promptly to small busi-
nessmen and said that these busi-
nessmen have an inadequate oppor-
tunity to make themselves heard on
important industry policy-making
committees.
Ask Unbiased Inquiry.
The letter continued:
Mr.. President, We petition you to
cause these changes to receive COM
plete, unbiased investigation. We
respectfully suggest that such ex-
perienced and highly regarded
Americans as Wayne Coy and Judge
Samuel /. Rosenman assume this
responsibility as they did so capably
in the investigation of the Office of
Production Management
Celebrating on the letter, Mr..
seedman said that while there are
$4,000 food retailers in the New York
OPA district only 1000 copies of the
latest regulations were made availa-
BILE to them. He declared that on the
same morning that the regulations
became effective the New York City
Department of Weights and Meas
ures started handing out summonses
for violations.
He said his organization recon-
mends that no OPA regulations be
issued until copies had been made
available to all persons engaged in
a particular business.

At the supposed appearance Of the

Today's German communique said
the fighting in Sicily continued with
'undiminished violence" with sew

The Rome announcement called
the battle fierce and close and
said Axis aviation was supporting

The Italian communique ad-
mitted Allied air raids on Palermo

siderable damage was reported tc
