By the Assoeiated Pres,

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. g.
The No. 2 man in the Office OF

In a news conference here yes

counsel for OPS, said that "the
optimistic outlook is to hope for
keeping things where they are"
Slight price increases and de-
creases might occur all along, he
said, but a proposed rollback pro-
gram was killed when Congress
gave producers the right to in
crease prices Of certain articles
as costs increase.
Mr.. Leventhal said substantial
price decreases could come about
through the exact reverse of all
