0PA ReIaxes RuIinu
To Ease Shirt Scarcity
BY the Associated Press

OPA has further relaxed It's price
regulations in move to ease the
shortage of mems shirts.
The agency also liberalized price
provisions covering such apparel as
shorts, pajamas, ties, gloves, girdles
corsets and women's and girls play
suits and sunsuits.
The changes were made yesterday
in the maximum average price reg
fulation," which required manufac-
turers to produce the same ratio OF
loW-priced merchandise to high
priced APPAREL that they did dur
ing 1943.
The revised order makes no
change in existing price ceilings fol
individual garments, but allows
manufacturers to produce a larger
proportion of somewhat more ex-
pensive lines.
In the case of shirts particularly
this is being done because manu-
facturers are having difficulty OBJ
tanning low-priced cotton fabrics
OPA said.
Under the revised order, the
agency added, producers will be able
to make full use of manufacturing
facilities for carded cotton shirts to
sell at retail for up to $1.95 and for
combed cotton shirts to sell up to So
In figuring maximum average
prices, manufacturers now may ex-
empt carded cotton shirts costing
less than $l6 dozen and combed
cotton shirts costing less than $2a
dozen. Previous exemption levels
were S14.50 and $17.46, respectively
OPA said the new exemption
prices are higher than those an
nounced last month because the
shortage of low priced shirt fabrics
is more acute than earlier studies
indicated"
