corner the market on certain scarce
items.
Will Extend Some Credit,
The Government, he said, will
even make arrangements for ex-
tension Of some credit to the trade
in transactions. Generally, the Gov
ernment plans to work through
normal business channels, and will
sell items to various levels of the
trade just as any manufacturer.
For instance, the price to whole
saler will make allowances for a
markup to be given retailers. II
the goods are sold to the retailer
directly, allowances also will be
made for markup before sales
to the consumer.
Generally. however, the asency's
policy will be Ito get the goods out
and In use," Mr.. Bradley said. I'VE
don't think getting the top dollar
(for the GovernmenD is the most
important point in disposing of
goods" he added. The agency will
work with the Once of Price Ad-
