BARBERS UP IN AIR OVER OPS THREAT OF PRICE SHAVE

How the general ceiling price regulation in Alaska would affect the price of a shave and haircut in Palmer still was unknown in Palmer at the present time.
 An OPS release received this week from Juneau states that "beauty and barber shops must remain under price control' The Office of Price Stabilization pointed out in a statement to the Congressional Banking and Cur rency Committee last week that the beauty and barber business was an 845 million dollar industry and as such constituted definite factor in the cost of living.
 In Alaska, under the general ceiling price regulation, all Terri torial barber and beauty shops are permitted to charge the high est price they charged during the period December 19 to January, 25, 1851. Any increases since that time are in violation of the regu- lation, Territorial OPS said.
 In a canvass of barber shops in Palmer, none had received infor- nation from the OPS indicating how the regulation would affect them. Palmer barbers all raised their prices March 15 of this year.
 "But the $2.OO hair cut price has been in effect in the Anchorage Barbers' Union district of which we are a part, for three years, F. w. Mullendorf of the Valley Bar Der Shop, stated. T don't think the price regulation will apply to the individual shops, but to the district for which the union con- trols prices".

 Three or four major papers will be presented by noted scientists at each section meeting. The re- maining time in each section will be given to a number of shorter reports on scientific research work currently in progress in the Territory.
 Research workers and student investigators currently engaged on scientific projects or planning summer study in Alaska are in vited to submit their names and brief statements of their work to the chairman of the section with in which their activity falls as soon as possible. Final titles and a 200-word summary of the re- ports to be presented at the con- ference must be in the hands of the chairman by August 1.

standing Anchorage union price would prevail despite Palmer's recent adherence to it, but he was not so sure. T just hope they won't put us in jail before telling us which prices apply, he said.
 Bert McCool said if OPS tried to enforce the old prices in effect before March 15, he'd fight it in court. Tt would be discrimina- ton against Palmer barbers', he insisted. Our cost of living in Palmer is as high as that in An chorage. Besides, the Anchorage union isn't going to stand for 'scab' prices'.

Montgomery County
Cemetery Proposal
Opposed by Board

Opposition to a proposal to per-
nit the establishment of ceme-
terieS in single-family residence
zones in suburban Montgomery
County has been voiced by the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
At the same time the commits
sion expressed support of a pro-
posed zoning ordinance amend
ment which would permit the
County Board of zoning Appeals
to authorize the temporary use OF
vacant land in any residential
zone for a baseball driving range
Both actions will be submitted
to the Montgomery County Coun-
Gil, which has final authority over
zoning changes.
The commission also recon-
mended for Council approval a
petition seeking the reclassifica-
ton from residential A to COM
mercial D of land on the west side
of the Rockville pike at Congress
sional Airport.
A hearing on the cemetery pro-
posal is scheduled at o'clock to-
night before the Council in the
Rockville Courthouse.
According to Richard F. Green
vice chairman of the planning
commission, the agency based its
opposition on these grounds:
1. The proposal is totally with
out adequate planning controls
which are particularly important
in the case of cemeteries because
Iof the permanent nature of the
land use.''
2. Cemeteries should be located
with extreme care to avoid re-
curing traffic jams and a blight
ing effect on neighboring resi-
Dental properties.
8. They should not be located in
the rapidly developing Metropol-
itan area.
