0PA Hits Snag Here
In Enforcing Ceilings
On Alcoholic Drinks
Many Eating Places Fail
To Turn In April 4-l0
Figures to OPA

Price ceilings on alcoholic drinks"
remain unenforced in a large pro-
portion of the most expensive hotels,
bars and restaurants here, because
the District Office of Price Admin
lstration does not have lists of the
prices that were being charged last
April 4 to 10, an OPA spokesman
disclosed today.
While all but to 10 per cent of
the eating places have turned in
copies of their April 4 to 10 food
menus, only few of the establish
ments that use separate menus for
alcoholic beverages have filed their
drink" prices for that period, the
spokesman said.
The places using separate menus
include many of the better" restau
rants and hotel bars, it was pointed
out.
p The menus and drink lists are
necessary for enforcement of price
ceilings because the rate charged be-
tween April 4 and 10 is the level at
which meal and drink prices have
been frozen.
misunderstanding Blamed.
Reasons for the failure of such a
large number of eating places to file
their wine lists" probably has been
due to misunderstanding among
propr1etors as to the requirements
of OPA regulations, the spokesman
indicated.
He said, however. that immediate
steps will be taken to obtain the
missing" drink menus.
In virtually all cases. the OPA
official said, drink menus for the
April to 10 period are still avail
able, Or prices can be obtained from
the properietor's books. Printers
may be able to supply additional in
formation, based on dates when the
establishments placed orders for the
printing of drink lists.
Meanwhile, members of the IS
nelghborhood price panels in the
District will begin this week to turn
their attention to an overall survey
OF the extent to which eating places
IN the District are complying with
price rollback regulations.
Members of most panels will begin
calls on the restaurants late this
week, Sherwood Dodge, acting price
executive for the District OPA, an
nounced today. The panel members
will train large numbers of assist
ants, who will survey price-ceiling
compliance in the eating places be-
ginning next week.
Volunteers Needed.
Volunteer price panel assistants
are needed in large numbers for
this survey, Mr.. Dodge said. ANY
one may volunteer either for dav
or night time service by contracting
the Civilian Defense Volunteer
Office or the price panel clerk of any
local ration board.
The staff of price panel assistants
numbered about 300 several weeks
ago, but due to other war duties of
many of the volunteers, the turnover
has been rapid.
Only women will serve as price
checkers" in the day time, Mr..
Dodge said. A crew known as the
Swing Shift" is being organized,
however, to check price compliance
in the early evening hours. Both
men and women, most of whom are
employed during the day, are volun-
teering for evening work, Mr.. Dodge
pointed out.

For $4,000, 600, 900

Washington's quota for the Third

1000 900 goal of the previous drive.
With individuals asked to sub
scribe s50,000,000, the remaining
$44, 100000 will be sought from
| corporations and organizations other

Organization Is Large.
Mr.. Reilly, discussing the cam
paign, said:
ITO accomplish the gigantic task
which Is assigned to us-that is, to
raise more than twice the second
loan quota of $42 2,000,000-we have
effected an organization that
reaches into every phase OF the
business, civic and social life of
the city. This organization has as
its leaders some of the most active
and experienced campaign workers
in the city.
1T comprises divisions designed
to cover every organization and
business unit in the city and,
through personal contact, tens of
thousands of prospective bond buy
ers. This general committee or
ganization will be aided by the Inter-
departmental War Savings Bond
Committee, the function of which
Is to induce extra bond buying by
the 100000 Federal employees In
Washington.
Confident of Success.
Every one of the hundreds of
volunteers already enlisted is as
suming his duties with enthusiasm
and vigor, and we all look forward
with confidence to success In the
coming campaign"

100000, with individuals allotted
IS 900 100000, is aimed at the sale
of a 500 additional bond to every
citizen.

Stunning active control of both op-
erations and policy.
Informed sources said, without
official confirmation, that Nelson
lad finally accepted the resigna-

yielded to the argument that Will

major production problems - pri-
marily those of aircraft - which
brought him to Washington. four
teen months ago. Wilson is ex-
pected to leave about the first of

Speculation whether Nelson too
would resign was quieted by re-
liable report that he has indicated
willingness to stay at the produc-
ton helm and also to do such
planning for the rehabilitation of
Industry as may be assigned to
him.
Nelson repeatedly has visited the
White House to ascertain the ex-
tent to which he will figure in
plans for the postwar reconversion
of industry, and some Qualification
is expected soon. The point has
been in question since the recent
appointment of Bernard M. Baruch
