u. ). Expects Rivalry
0fCIothing Makers
To Keep Prices Down
By the As,ooioted Press

Shipping the last price control
thread on clothing, the Government
today pinned It's inexpensive gar
ment hopes on industry competition.
Civilian Production Administrator
John D. Small expressed the belief
that rivalry among clothing manu-
facturers will serve to hold their
prices in line.
The only clothing price curb left
after OPA died July was knocked
out last night when Mr.. Small an
nounced that CPA will continue to
allocate a big supply of cloth for
garments that should sell at low or
moderate prices-but the agency no
longer will see that they do.
Moore Amendment Cited.
CPA announced no reason for this
but officials who asked to remain
anonymous attributed the action
to the Moore amendement to the
Second War Powers Act, a law which
10 days ago was continued until next
March 81.
CPA's authority to allocate fabric
for low-cost clothing stems from
the act. The Moore amendment.
tackled on to the renewal measure
prohibits any price fixing under that
legislation.
In sponsoring the amendment.
Senator Moore, Republican. of Okla
homa sought to make sure that OPA
could not fix prices under any law
except the Price Control Act, which
later expired
CPA was not sure whether the
Moore amendment actually out
lawed its clothing price curbs. but
IT decided to take no chances.
Agreement With Dealers.
Under the old setup, CPA helped
garment makers obtain fabric only
If they agreed to sell clothes at or
under certain wholesale prices Re-
tail ceilings were fixed by OPA.
Under the new CPA regulation.
manufacturers may use priority
fabric only in types of inexpensive
clothing which previously sold at
specified OPA ceilings. Thus they
have to make the same kind of cloth
ing they did before. but there are
no strings on prices.
Il am confident" Mr.. Small told
reporters, that we will get as much
ineXpensive-ty type clothing, but I
can't be sure about prices
Il am confident. though. that
manufacturers who concentrate on
low-cost clothing will not be able to
meet competition if they push prices
out Of line"
Mr.. Small made it clear that if
Congress restores price controls,
ceilings will be re-established on
clothing manufacturers production.
