MRS. HERMANN OFF TO WASHINGTON ON 0pA DEVELOPMENTS

Future plans and operating poll cies of the Alaska OPA under the recently enacted Price Control Ex- tension Act of 1946 will be an- nounced throughout the Territory in the near future.
 Mildred R. Hermann, Alaska OPA Director, left Juneau yesterday by plane to report to her Regional headquarters in Washington for conferences to begin Aug. 5. At these conferences Alaska price regulation will be studied for what ever revisions will be necessary un- der the terms of the new Act.
 Mrs. Hermann will present first hand account of some of the pric- ing problems which now confront Alaska merchants due to shipping difficulties and market changes which recent decontrolS and gen. eral price increases have brought about.
 Another Alaska price matter
 
 which she hopes to be able to help solve is that of several Alaska lumber mills which manufacture vitally essential fish boxes. Petit tions for an adjustment in the mill price of box shocks have been de- nied by the Lumber Branch of the National OPA in Washington, under whose jurisdiction this mat ter falls. Although the Alaska OPA has no direct voice in this situation, the Alaska Director will make recommendations toward a prompt solution of this Alaska lumber mill problem.
 Upon her return from Wash ington at the earliest possible date, Alaska business and consumer in- terests will be informed of any changes in the OPA program which will affect their future selling and buying practices. At present some commodities are decontrolled, but those still under control have the same ceiling prices that existed on June 30. And all over-ceiling sales of controlled items will be treated as violations.

WAGE CONTROLS
 STILL IN EFFECT,
 CLAIMS McC0UR1

SEATTLE, Aug. 2 - Alaska em- ployers and employees were ad- vised today by John B. McCourt, chairman of the Twelfth Regional Wage Stabilization Board, 9th headquarters, that wage controls continue in effect under the eX- tended Price Control Act on ex- actly the same basis as they ex- isted prior to the act with only one exception.
 The one exception is that prior approval of wage increases foI pricing purposes no longer is re- quired.
 Employers may put wage in- creases into effect and seek ap- proval for pricing purposes at any ! later date, but as long as the in- crease remains unapproved by the Wage Stabilization Board it can not be used for pricing purposes, McCourt said.
 Direct controls on wage adjust mentS in CD the building and con- struction industry and on (2D wage | decreases and B institution o1 wage rates for new plants or new jobs, however, still require priol approval as they did prior to June 1 30.
 Any wage CT salary rates ir these three groups which were ad- ! justed upward or downward be- tween June 30 and July 25, 1946 must be restored to June 30 levels but August 10 immunity will be given to any unauthorized rates paid between July 25 and August 10.
 McCourt emphasized that con- tinued payment after August t will be the subject of enforcement proceedings unless Board approva is secured before the August t deadline

BREMEN DISCUSS
 ADDED EQUIPMENT

! Juneau Volunteer Bremen, gath cred at the Fire Hall last evening for their regular monthly meeting, heard Chief Minard Mill describe new Department equipment voted by the City Council; including masks and nozzles.
 l New type oxygen masks to be purchased, he said, are more eff cient than any the Department now has and will permit firemen to work under water
 Also discussed was a new fire l hydrant to be installed at sthe bot tom of Twelfth Street opposite the boat harbor Before winter, it is planned to have another new plug installed at the northern end of Harbor Way, near the new marine ways, Chief Mill said. He expects better protection of boats in the harbor to result from a plan to run a dry line from that plug down onto the floats.
 The matter of parking of cars during fires was brought up, in the interest of securing better coopera- tion with the Police in keeping the streets open.
 The Fire Department voted to cooperate fully with the Juneau Memorial Library Board in its plans for advancing that commun- ity project. Frank Hermann was named to head Library commit tee of the Department.
 The monthly report stated that a total of five fires occurred dur ing the month of July, including the big blaze at the Alaska Dock
