OPA:
Ease Price Control

Though price controls were re-
moved from musical instruments
and wide variety of miscellaneous
items ranging from ice bowls to bull
rings, OPA threatened to restore
regulations if retail charges bound
ed from reasonable levels.
Included in the items freed from
price control were such sporting
equipment as fishing, archery, ski
ing, croquet, bowling, baseball, bas-
ketban, football, golf and hockey.
Though playing uniforms were ex-
empted, control was maintained
over shoes because of their general
usefulness.
Among the miscellaneous items af-
fected by the OPA action were low
cost kitchen utensils, cowbells, buck
cts, coffee servers. unglazed flower
pots, safety goggles and industrial
clothing designed for protection
against hazardous occupations. With
supplies adequate, price control was
temporarily relinquished over
phonograph records, electric lamp
bulbs, firearms and ammunition.
