OPA Admits NyIon Dealings
Cites Tremendous Demand

While admitting the existence of
la large black market in nylon
hosiery, Office of Price Administra-
ton officials in Washington said to-

The seepage of nylons through the
black market is merely a drop in
the bucket" compared to the vast
demand on the legitimate market
one official said. He, added, how
ever, that another major factor ir
the scarcity of nylons was boarding
by some women who were able tc
buy more than they needed
OPA officials pointed out that two
convictions arising out of the viola
ton of price ceilings had been re-
turned in New York within the last
few days.
David Balsan, New York hosier,

lington, Va, at the price of SIC
for three pairs. He was sentenced

Ny|on Black Market
Fight Is Pressed
By Maryland 0PA
By the Associated Pres,

BALTIMORE, Mar. "A $75 900
a month Baltimore black market in
nylons was described today by S.
j. Friedman, supervisor of investi-
gators of the Maryland Office of
Price Administration Apparel Unit.
"We have large staff of investi-
gators out trying to round up these
black marketeers," he said, land the
FBI is cooperating. But it's slow
going. Why? Because the pur-
chasers, most of whom are women,
won't cooperate by reporting cases
where nylons are offered to them at
exhorbitant prices"
If they did, he added, the black
market would be beaten and then
nylons would be on the market in
large quantities"
Sent Out in Truckloads.
He said OPA investigators "are
going right to the mills, in some
OF which this whole business starts.
Certain mills now on our list are
sending their nylons out in truck
loads.
They are turned over to whole
salers who are willing to take a
chance. These wholesalers deal
them out to retailers.
Wholesalers are billed by the
black market mills at our ceiling
prices, and they are paid what they
ask, which is much above the CELL
ing price. Then the unscrupulous
wholesalers bill the black market
retailers at ceiling prices, but COL
lect much more.
so, you see, there isn't any evi-
dence on the records that could
bring conviction"
Big Operators Sought.
He said most wholesalers and re-
tailers were cooperating with the
OPA and helping the agency's fight
but declared the OPA couldn't cope
with the situations because buyers
chiefly women-were willing to pay
black market prices and keep quiet.
1--WE can put our fingers on a score
of small peddlers who are reaping
harvest out of women's desire for
nylons," he said But it's some of
the big operators-certain mills and
money-mad wholesalers we are
seeking.
"Iit's regular racket"
Mr.. Friedman said about $4,000
pairs of nylons reached the Balti-
more area monthly. The local black
market take in the nylon business
was about $4,000 per month, he
added.
