FIND MOST STORES
Do RIGHT BY OPA
Survey Of 1,200 In Montana
Said ''Highly Satisfactory"
Few Violations

Approximately 1900 Montana
stores were included in the store
survey conducted the past week by
the office of price administration at
Helena as an educational and pro-
tective price control program. Dis
trict officials stated that reports
were "highly satisfactory"
Throughout the state some 250
cities were visited by OPA repre-
sentatives to assist retailers and
consumers to understand price reg
ulations and to show them that 100
per cent compliance with these reg
ulations will result in a firm con-
troll of prices and living costs in the
state.
Officials reported the number of
violations found in this compre-
hensive coverage was gratifyingly
low. "But with very few eXcep-
tions, these violations were cases
where merchants were unaware of
their errors" OPA said. Typical
cases were instances where store
keepers failed to display their price
lists, the dollar-and-cents ceiling
prices for meats, groceries and
soaps, or where the OPA price
group classification was not in
evidence.
Cooperating with state OPA rep
resentatives in the conduct of the
survey were members of local war
price and rationing boards, price
3anel members and volunteer price
assistants. Those workers reported
hat merchants were anxious to
and took advantage of
he visits to their stores by re-
iuesting additional information rel
tive to OPA price control regula-
ions and by asking for assistance. |

Coupon Endorsement Drive
Stop checks at 701 service sta
ons in Montana reveal that 80 per
mt of state consumers had proper
endorsed their license number
nd state of registration on their
asoline coupons, OPA officials an
following compilation of
litial reports of the coupon en-
orsement drive. The checks in
uded 938 consumers, of whom only
81 had failed to endorse their cou-
ons previously. OPA states the
Ill cooperation in the drive is be-
g given by service station opera
rs and that consumers are taking
"in good stride" realizing the
lportance of the drive.

Square Deal vs Raw Deal

When the Government of the United States asked national industries and manufacturers to discontinue produc-- tion of civilian goods and supplies and devote all their facilities to war produc- tion it was not at all surprising that American business leaders insisted that there should be clear understanding that the agreements must be carried out With out the possibility of frauds" being charged against the manufacturers and industries. "A burnt child dreadeth the fire" and honest business as well as hon. est government Administration remem- Der the war contract scandals of quar- ter century ago. The results in this war prove the wisdom of having made good start.
 Vice-PreSident Wallace must have yielded to bone-headed prejudices when he recently declared that "hard- headed business men" must be prevented from Heading the world aStray' after the war.
 If he had employed his own hand headed business judgment he probably would have omitted that nasty, unrea- sonable slur, "When refer to American Fascists I mean those who believe that Wall Street comes first and the country second .. and who are willing to keep Wall Street safely on top of the country" MT.

Airplanes And Small Towns

The big airplane companies are coming down out of the clouds ,and they have ln- dicated that they may accommodate branch or feeder lines running out from the big metropolitan centerS, providing the cities have a minimum population ot 25,OOO or more. Evidently the airlines do not believe that they want to make the smaller cities stopping places because ot their comparatively How potential patronage" Coupled with the discussion of the topic there comes the suggeslon of handling mail at high rates along the so-called feeder lines-which might be considered in the nature of subsidies. Ii mail carrying rates are increased the airplaneS would be in position to compete with the railroads.
 The possibilities of using helicopters seems to be very remote and authorlta- tive statements from aeronautic head quarters indicates that there will be near ings on applications for service based on the use of helicopters, when, and if, hell- copters are available.
