The Negro Volunteer OPA Price Panels

The formation of Negro Volunteer Price Panel here
last week should not fail in producing fine results in
the matter of maintaining OPA price structure and
regulations in the Negro communities Of the city; and III
so doing thereby contribute most important in
the matter offsetng the prospects of away prices
and initiation which, the economic front constitutes the
nation most serious threat both to the immediate
ent, immediate future, and the distant postwar
period.
According to statements of Mr.. L. j. Fose and his
assistant Mr.. Gregory, of the State Office of Price Adj
mnistaton who attended the formation of the group here
what may well be expected of the loyal panel has already
been accomplished with notable high degree of interest and
efficiency by other such groups previously formed in
other sections of the state
In Jackson, is true to large extent in other
tons of the state most of the grocery stores and markets
in the Negro communities owred and operated by White
people As the Negro Volunteer Price Panel to function
only in the Negro Communities it is with this larger group
of white merchants owning and operating businesses in the
Negro communities that the members the panel will be
expected to consult
AS pointed cut in the meeting for the formation
of the panel here it the function of the members of the
Volunteer OPA Price Panel assist the merchant in main
tanning his prices in accordance with OPA Ceiling by
giving him their free time and assistance in keeping
breast with the changes in the regulation and price struc
lures created by OPA which will be readily available
to the members of the panel because closer association
and contract the OPA.
None of the functions of the Volunteer Price Panel,
of of its members assumed upon the idea that
there exist the deliberate violation of the law that
merchant has been wful in violation the OPA regula
hons and price ceilings.
On the whole there is every reason to feel that the
relation between the Negro Volunteer OPA Price Panel
and its members and the white and operators of
stores in Negro communities will be both cooperative and
friendly Indeed the good relationship of these and
operators of stores in Negro communities with the
bers of these communities well be founded and
tanned hv the work of the Panel and its members.
In Mississippi thus far, in connection with the work
OF the board and far reaching federal agencies calling
for public cooperation in the prosecution of the effort
Negroes have been called for volunteer services
What the NEGRO Volunteer OPA Price Panels in other
sections of the state having already proved their worth
with the reasonable expectation that the will be
true of the local panel and others formed in other
sections of the state where the need undoubtedly exists
Seems reasonable to hone that has been others
southern states including Alabama and in order to keen
interest and efforts of these group that lea of
paid Negro OPA worker will be appointed to work in
nection with their supervision and coordination
