compliance, and in the judgment
of this price panel the matter
should be referred to the district
office of the OPA for further &C
ton, then the possibility of get
ting action in the municipal court
will be helpful in protecting other
merchants who have suffered
losses because of this one violator.
1.-THE procedure which I have
just related applies to Eases where
commodities are sold above the
ceiling price. A similar method
is set up for attractions of the ra-
tioning regulations. A board made
up of the 6 Montgomery County
Ration Board chairmen, meets at
regular intervals to consider speed
ing cases and other gasoline OF
tire violations. Other panels, such
as food, fuel oil, and commodities,
not only administer the regula-
tons of these various programs,
but also handle complaints. If
the complaint cannot be satisfac-
torily settled by the particular
panel, then the matter is referred
to the district office.
Thus you see that with this
procedure of having each CON-
plant reviewed by a group of
fair-minded fellow citizens, be-
fore any case is referred to the
district office for action, there is
little possibility of any merchant,
who has made an innocent mis-
take, ever having to appear in
court. The knowledge of the way
the panels of your local rationing
boards operate, should dispel all
fears of any unwarranted action
being taken against an innocent
violator. 7 hope this is an ade-
quate answer to what I under
stand is the main objection to the
of this ordinance"

koNG ~ IAN tAASo~ Ian
of Mr.. Cook in the line of informs
"At the present, time, violations
of the price and rationing regula-
tons, including black market OPP
erations, are subject to the juris-
diction of the federal courts.
While these courts have cooper
ated to the fullest extent possible,
the procedure is somewhat slower,
and resulting action possibly de-
layed to a point where the rem
edial effect would be entirely lost.
It is felt that the procedure in
a municipal court action would
be faster, which will be a material
aid to the compliance program.
"You will note I use the word
compliance instead of enforce
ment. 1t is not the desire of the
Office of Price Administration to
crack down on anyone, but the
vast majority, who Fundamentally
comply with the regulations be-
cause they realize the dangers of
initiation, are entitled to protection
against the minority who are out
to get all they can, no matter
what effect such actions will have
On others.
Example
Here is a case in point: Last
week I received complaints from
several filling stations that a
neighboring station was selling
gasoline above the ceiling price,
and without requiring coupons.
They are all losing business. They
will continue to lose business un-
til action can be taken to stop this
violation. Therefore, speed is an
important factor in getting this
situation corrected. The same
thing applies to all lines of mer-
chandising.
Zone violator who knowingly
persists in selling above the cell
ing price, or engages in black
market operations, penalties all
the other merchants, who lose
business because of this one vio-
lator. The proposed ordinance is
intended to secure uniform COM
pliance, which will afford pro-
lection to the merchants who
abide by regulations.
"The principal objection, as I
understand it, stems from a fear
that so-called 'gestapo' methods
will be used, and that an. inno-
cent merchant, who has unwit-
tingly violated a regulation, will
be hauled into court unceremon-
iously, with the attendant unfav-
orables publicity. IF this objection
had any basis in fact, I certainly
would not favor the passing of
this ordinance.
Price Panel Procedure
This fear arises from ignorance
as to the procedure that is set UP
in OPA regulations, to determine
who are willful violators. A price
panel, made up of some of our
leading citizens, receives COM
plants of violators, and the al
legged violator is asked to meet
with the panel to discuss the COM
plant. In a majority of cases the
matter is settled to the satisfac-
ton of all concerned. However, If
an individual persists in violating
the regulations, time after time,
openly defying any attempt at
