Department Stores
Study Limit on Sales
To Prevent Hoardinu

Oficials of some Of Washing
toms largest department stores
said last night they may be forced
to follow the policy Of New York
City stores Of limiting sales Of items
that were scarce in World War II.
One store already has instructed
It's employees to call the attention
to their department heads to any
extraordinary" sale 80 that the
customer may be persuaded to trim
his purchase.
Asked what would be considered
an excessive purchase, a store
spokesman cited the case Of q Gus
toner last week who sought to buy
nine dozen pairs Of nylon hose.
The official stressed, however,
that individual employees have not
been authorized to limit the num-
ber Of items available to custom
erS.
New York stores were reported
going further and limiting pur-
chases where 1t was obvious the
quantity sought was excessive and
for boarding purposes.
- Sheets Selling Fast.
During the past week most
Washington department stores
noted heavy buying of sheets,
pillowcases, towels, nylon hosiery,
mems white shirts, soap powders,
electrical appliances and in some
cases television sets.
All retailers agreed that there
are no shortages on the market
today; as fast as merchandise Is
sold, fresh stocks come in.
One department store official
commented:
Il don't know what in the world
people want to buy like that for.
But If it gets worse, we may have
to put on some limitations"
An official of another large store
said President Truman's warning
to consumers against boarding
didn't do anything to retard it"
He added: 1T just accelerated
buying, I'm afraid. There are no
shortages. People are creating
them by this buying"
A different viewpoint was ex-
pressed by a spokesman for a
third department store. He said
people were not boarding, but only
buying for current needs and as a
protection against future price
rises.
Watching Situation.
However, he said, buying Of some
goods was heavy and added: 1--WE
are watching the situation and
may have to take some action. But
right now there is no panic buy
ing"
He added that he did not be-
lieve reputable manufactured"
were engaging In any price goug-
ing.
The retail industry as a whole,
he said. is bending over back
ward to exercise self-reStrain in
the hope Of avoiding controls"
Wholesale distributors of three
makes of refrigerators and one Of
television were reported completely
out of stock last week. More sup
plies. were expected shortly, how
ever.
The present boom in white goods
such as sheets may force depart
ment stores to abandon August
white sales" Such sales were
halted during the last war.

joyed a fabulous dinner and re-
ceived other lovely gifts at the
Chestnut Street home of her
friend of many years, Miss
Leonessa Powell. In the evening
when she was on the way back
to her Fenway apartment, she
paused for few moments on the
steps of old historic Charles

ceived her early religious train
