Map 5-Point
|ce-Saving Plan
Association Asks
5000 Members to
Combat Shortage

With the Districts ice shortage re-
manning so severe that one major
dealer expressed fear of possible
black market operations, the Wash
ington Restaurant Association today
asked all local eating establishments
to join in q flve-point program of
ice conservation.
The association included the rec
concentrations in bulletin mailed
today to more than 1000 member
restaurants. Pointing out that the
ice supply here is now meeting only
about so per cent of the demand,
the bulletin asked eating places to
combat the shortage by taking the
following steps:
l. Check on ice deliveries and re-
duce the amount of ice requested by
as much as possible
2. Have proper storage facilities
for ice.
3. Empty ice on receipt. Make
sure that no ice is left sitting in bags
or tubs in the kitchen or storage
room.
q. Take care of ice bags, which
are difficult to obtain. Return them
to the iceman.
5. Make practice of putting no
ice in water that is already cold.
In announcing the five-point con-
servation program, Robert j. Wilson,
executive secretary of the aSsocia-
ton, said that most eating places
here already have reduced their
consumption of ice. The suggested
conservation methods should bring
about a further saving of ice, he
said. adding that they have been
tested in several large restaurants
and have proved effective. One res
taurant that formerly used 1850
pounds of ice day has reduced its
consumption to a daily average of
l,600 pounds, Mr.. Wilson said.
Meanwhile, one Washington ice
dealer announced he planned to ask
the OPA to require equal distribu-
tion of available ice between COM
mercial establishments and home
consumers.
At present, the dealer charged,
restaurants, bars and cafes-which
usually buy direct from ice manu-
facturers-are receiving a lions
share of the supply, with the result
that many home users are not able
to obtain ice to prevent food from
spelling in the family icebox.
A survey OF local ice producing
plants, however, has disclosed only
one manufacturing plant that has
favored the downtown commercial
establishments in rationing ice sup
plies. The American Ice Co., which
produces 60 to 65 per cent of all
ice here, has rationad all customers
on an equal basis of so per cent of
their former purchases.

Price-ControI
Advisory Group
Closer Cooperation
Between Retailers
And OPA Sought

With the object of promoting
more complete cooperation here be-
tween retailers and the Once Of
Price Administration in carrying
out price and rationing regulations,
a labor advisory committee, repre-
senting the big union groups. was in
process of organization today.
Such a committee was requested
last night by G.. r. Atkinson, ma
tional labor liaison officer of OPA,
at a meeting with labor represent
atives.
1t was decided that the committee
would consist of four representatives
each from the American Federation
OF Labor, the Congress of Industrial
Organizations and the railroad
brothrhoods.
Won't Attempt Shopping
John Locher. president OF the
Central Labor Union (AFL), who is
lining up the ALF members, ex-
planned today that 1t was not the
intention to name a committee OF
"snoopers," who would 60 about
trying to catch violators of price
ceilings and ration rules.
/! I'VE believe" he said, that the
great majority of grocers and their
retailers want to obey all the OPA
regulations. But the regula tions
are changing constantly, and it's
hard for them to keep up with the
changing picture. We hope to make
our advisory committee educational.
1t will not be police force OF
course, If we find dealers who will
fully persist in violating the regu-
lations, naturally We'll report them.
But we feel that most of the VIOLA
tions have been unintentional.'
Appointments Due Soon.
Mr. Atkinson told the labor off,
cials that labor could be of great
help to OPA by giving its organized
strength to aiding enforcement.
This could be done, he said, by
counseling dealers to obey the law
and by ferreting out those who per-
sisted in violating it.
The Labor Advisory Committee
is to be appointed within the next
few days by local councils of the
three big groups. The committee
will hold its first meeting with local
OPA officials at the Force School,
1740 Massachusetts, avenue NV. at
pm. August II.
The committee is to be aided by
price panel assistants in the various
labor organizations, who will report
difficulties or violations of OPA
orders.
