Apple Price Ceilings
Violated, +, West Coast
Legislators Charge
Washington State Group
Protests to BowIes;
Retailers Here Also Hit

The Washington State delegation
in Congress today informed Price
Administrator Chester Bowles that
retail apple price ceilings are being
disregarded in all parts of the coun-
try. including the District, with the
result that wholesale ceilings also
are being thrown into the discard.
In a letter to the price admins
traitor signed by Senators and Rep
resentatives from the apple growing
State, the delegation said:
Right heer in Washington, the
apple price ceilings are openly vio-
lated. 1t is common to see signs in
grocery stores advertising apples at
Is cents pound, whereas the pub
lished ceiling Is 2 pounds for 81
cents"
John L. Laskely, District enforce
ment attorney. said he did not be-
lieve violations were widespread but
were confined in the main to fruit
peddlers and operators of small
stands. Because of lack Of sufficient
personnel, this group is difficult to
police, he said.
He added that the local OPA had
been investigating the wholesale ap-
Iple trade here and that when it has
been completed within the next week
I'VE will know more about their
operations"
The letter to MIR. Bowles further
said: I'VE wish to point out that If
retailers can violate the apple price
ceiling with impunity, they can vio-
late any other price ceiling. Our in
formation Is that in the District, at
least, that is exactly what is hap
peninR."
