$50 Penalties Listed
By WPB in ; Years

The War Production Board, re-
porting $50 penalties against bust
ness firms in the last three years
has given notice it will continue
aggressive" enforcement Of indus
trial controls.
Some businessmen had assumed
that the war would end soon and
grew lax in conforming with WPB
wartime restrictions" the WPB
compliance division said. "The pol
Icy Of dealing aggressively with
willful violators of WPB orders will
continue"
The division has investigated
25o,O00 companies for possible cases
of evasion or violation. The check
ups resulted in TOO suspension orders
and $50 consent" orders.
The suspension orders in most
cases restricted a company's priority
privileges and in aggravated cases
may have resulted in partial or
complete suspension of the firm s
business operations, WPB said
Consent orders may be equally re-
strictive, but they amount to volun-
tary agreements between WPB and
the violator to compensate for ma
terials improperly used.
WPB Chairman j. A. Krug, con-
graduating the division on its work,
observed that most of the Nations
businessmen and citizens have in
dorsed and complied with every
WPB order and regulation regardless
of inconvenience, expense, filling out
forms and correspondence with the
Government"
