Storemen Want Increase
While Agency Seeks
To Hold Line

WASHINGTON, Aug. % (R)-The
fight over the price you'll have
to pay for things like refrigerators
and washing machines started
full blast today. It's OPA versus
the nations storekeepers.
OPA wants prices on the new
peacetime goods set at where they
were in 1912. Storekeepers want
higher ones.
And here was the rest of the
country's fast-changing picture:
Butter-Points are coming down
Sept. 2-from Is to II.
Soldiers-The Arrny's set to
lower its discharge points: From
IS to 80.
Enthusiastically available for
rubber toys, kitchen tools, floor
mats.
Used cars-Prlces have started
falling. Average drop: S25 car.
Toys-This Christmas pretty
much like last Christmas. Tins
scarce.
| Black notwithstanding to
fade in used cars and chickens
Bath towels-Any size is all right
10 make now.
This is the heart of the OPA
storekeeper fight which may con-
tinue bitterly:
OPA wants the new peacetime
things sold to you to be sold al
the price you would have paid ir
1912.
But retailers - Their spokesmer
had a session with OPA today
say this puts them in a squeeze
that they may 60 broke and fol
this reason:
The manufacturer sells to the
wholesaler. The wholesaler sells tt
the retailer (storekeeper). The
storekeeper sells to you.
Because of some increased costs
OPA will let the manufacture
charge the wholesaler little more
than he charged in 1912.
But by the time the goods reach
you-passing from wholesaler to re-
tailer-the price must be back dowr
to 1912 levels.
So-somewhere between the time
the goods leaves the manufacturer
and reach you-the wholesaler ane
retailer must absorb that higher
cost.
They want a better break thar
that, they say. OPA shakes it!
head, says it will consider the mat
ter. But it already has laid dowr
the rule.
The fight is not likely to enc
there if OPA stands firmly on
mo" answer. But President Tru
man is backing the OPA policy.
AS to butter-OPA says the poin
reduction, starting Sunday, is du
to larger butter supplies.
Thus butter red-point values be
come only half of what they wer

Forrestal made the disclosure
