Under existing law It may elect

Indicates Trend
This indicates a trend that is
extremely dangerous to the very
existence of American liberty.
Even in war time 1t Is open to
question. 1t may get us into a
groove or rut from which we can
climb only with great difficulty,
If at all. 1t is not in line with
the principle of equal justice under
the law. 1t is the direct opposite
Of the representative form OF gov
eminent which puts the admins
tration OF justice under law and
not under man"
AS an example OF OPA's power
Ferguson cited the 100000 fine
imposed on Milton s. Kronheim,
car OF the liquor trade in Wash
ington. for violation OF OPA regu-
lations.
"OPA allowed Mr.. Kronheim to
pay his fine in installments, Fer
guson said. IL have never before
heard, in my long legal experience,
OF any plan for paying such fines
by installments.
IF OPA chooses, It can wreck
business by demanding full pay
ment at once. In some instances,
payment OF even a small fine, might
put a man out OF business. This is
excessive power

Ferguson said OPA has failed to
approach its problems from all as
poets, including the consumer. 1t
also has failed TO fix them on the

that go into products. with the re-
suit that there are inequities. he
added.
As an example of the latter, Fer
guson said ceilings for wines pro-
duced by small California wineries
were set on the basis OF grapes
costing 5000 a ton although the
market price actually was S75 and
S77 a ton and even 800 in some
cases.
