Certain smart California dealers
are credited with a new cute trick
to beat the maximum ceiling prices
on potatoes, but they may not get
away with it. The case is interest
ing though, because if unchecked
the racket might have spread to
other food commodities. 1t shows
the ingenuity of some of these op-
orators in evading price regulations,
and it's a good example of why all
bureaucrats are gradually going
nuts. trying to keep ahead of the
chiSelerS.
The story begins with Maxi
mum Price Regulation No. 271,
covering potatoes and dry onions.
The onions are just for seasoning
as far as the story goes, potatoes
being The principal dish under
discussion. MPR 271 sets speci-
fled dollars and cents ceiling
prices on potatoes at the country
shipper level, packed and loaded
on carrier, plus specified fix
ed markups for transportation to
market, plus wholesalers and re-
tailers' profits, giving in the end
maximum price for consumers.
But at the beginning, the ceiling
is an FOB. price at the growers
shipping point.
Out in the California potato
country, certain slick citizens read
over this regulation and they say,
"Hmmm What's to prevent us
from buying potatoes in the
ground? There isn't any ceiling
price on potatoes in the ground. So
we could buy the potatoes before
they're dug. before they're sacked,
before they're loaded on truck or
freight car at the country ship
per's FOB. point. We could pay
the farmer above the ceiling price,
which will make him happy. Well
be happy because we'll have pota-
toes to sell. We can bypass the

WE
the Women
By RUTH MILLETT

One thing that the women VINO
have stepped into mems jobs for
the duration will have to fight Is
the tendency to develop new per-
sonality traits that are less femln-
inc than their old ones.
A girl in military uniform is
tempted to sWagger. to speak curt
". to display an "I-can-look-after-
myself" attitude.
A girl in overalls, working side
by side with men, is tempted 10
take their way of talking for her
own. to pride herself on being as
good as a man."
A wife, left alone to run a house
and manage a family, is tempted to
forget she ever deferred to mans
opinions; is often forgetful that IT
and IN" have domineerlng
sound when used in place ow we
and Our"
It is natural enough for women
to try to be like men when they
find themselves filling mems shoes.
But it is a tendency they ought
to fight.
FOR the war won't last forever
One of these days it will be over
and pcacetime ideals and patterns
will rule again.
In a peacetime world there lSn
much place for a bossy, hard, SWag-
gering woman. She just doesn't
tit it,
STAY FEMININE
The woman who develops that
kind of personality in wartime will
have 10 change in hurry or be
mSerably unhappy.
Il would be much easier Tor hel
to make an effort now to stay iem-
inine-no matter what jobs or re-
sponsibilities she takes on.
1t isn't too difficulty a thing tC
do - for developing masculine
traits and attitudes doesn't really
help a woman to do mans work
She can do it just as we'll while re-
tanning her femininity
And that way she loses moth
ing by taking on the hard WORK
and responsibilities of man.

The fourth and last clash, in this
series Of columns on the -Four
PHILOSOPHERS" comparing the policies
Of 1918 with those of 1943, is so
fundamental that it cannot be
dealt with in generalities. The
limitations of space make it diff
fitult to set down the yoluminous
evidence available here
In 1918 you would have found
almost without exception, the men
and women in charge of the ad-
ministration of food policies to be
American citizens; you would have
found their principal objective to
have been the winning of the war
and the production and distribution
OF the foodstufIs needed at thai
time. 1t is not so now. Let me give
chapter and verse, taking men and
women in various positions here, all
of whose views and affiliations arc
matters of official record.

wholesalers markup, sell directly
to the consumer at ceiling prices If
we have to, or black market prices
if we can. and boy how the money
will roll in
LEGALLY RIGHT,
MORALLY WRONG
AS a smart dodge to beat the price
ceilings. this is about as neat a
trick as the Office of Price Admin
iStration enforcement officials have
run into vet. 1t isn't legally wrong,
perhaps. but it is technical evasion
of the OPA regulations prompted |
only by greed, and the most vicious
kind of war profiteering at the eX-
pense of the potato-consuming pub
lie. 1t is dirty pool in wartime,
but what can be done about it?
Now consider part two OF the
story. or what happens next.
OPA enforcement officials hear
about this slick evasion of their
order 271. They decide to issue
an Interpretation" of the order
which will stop further sales of
potatoes i'm the ground at high
or than ceiling prices. Hooking
up their ll8 regional offices on
teletyre circuit, they send out
from Washington their interpre-
tation to the effect that sales of
unharvested potatoes above the
country shippers ceiling price vio-
late the latter as well as the Spir-
it of MPR 271 and should be
prosecuted because such buyers are
i'm effect country shippers selling
to themselves as intermediate
sellers, and therefore their net
costs may not exceed the cOun-
try shippers maximum price plus
the cost of transportation to the
customary receiving point.
Just to play safe, OPA decides to
issue a revision of MPR 27l to tight
en- up this and other loopholes in
the original potato order, and to in
corporate the Interpretation. TheP
even put in an example to snow
how potatoes in the ground may be
legally sold by the acre, providing
the contract specifies that the ulti-
mate selling price will be the per-
acre price. or the ceiling price per
hundredWeight, whichever is lower.
BUREAUCRATS' HEADACHE
OPA lawyers send this revised
draft over to the Food Distribution
Administration for their checkup.
FDA potato experts keep it a couple
of days. then send it back with
lot of reasons why the revised order
is no good, too, and a lot of sug-
gestionS as to what will have to
be done to make the order workable.
Eventually, a revised potato or
der will be issued which will con-
troll these smart guys who are so
clever at finding ways to eVade
price regulations. But here you
have a perfect example OF Just
one of the headaches which daily
confront the much maiigned bu-
rcaucrats who on the one hand
arc trying to encourage produc-
tion of more potatoes while on
the other hand they're trying TO
keep prices under control and
prevent initiation. They may new
cr be entirely successful but they
think it's fun trying. Ii they
can lust control the less-then-5
rcr cent of chiseIcrs, a good start
will have been made.
