Results OF the recent survey Of
eating establishments in Washte-

percentage are in violation Of OPA
regulations. In one restaurant the
checking OF prices on 20 meals
showed that the prices OF half the
meals had been increased over the
base period OF April 40, 1913.
The greatest number OF violations,
however. were found in the regu-
lations regarding price ranges and
there is a widespread misunder-
standing OF this regulation accord
ing to Albert ]. Rapp, chairman OF
the Restaurant Division OF the
Price Panel. The OPA price range
regulations protect the restaurant
patrons against being offered only
high-priced meals. since restau-

cording to the base period and must
also keep the same range Of prices
for this period. They cannot omi,
