Liquor Price Controls
May Be Dropped by
ops as Stocks Pile Up
BY the Associoted Press

Government officials said today
price controls on liquor probably
will be lifted soon because the in
duStry faces a critical situation
caused by over-supply and a sharp
drop in sales.
No rise in retail prices is ex-
pected when controls are ysus-
pended.
The Office of Price Stabiliza-
tion's Controls Suspension Com
mittee has been studying the mat
ter and Is understood to be nearing
a decision.
The public has shown a reluc-
tance to buy liquor at prices asked
since the Federal tax was boosted
$1.50 per gallon last November /
to total of $10.50.
officials said consumers are
turning to cheaper priced beer and
wine.
Affects Distilleries.
Officials said the drop in liquor
sales has complicated matters all
the way down to the distilleries,
which now have on hand prob
ably record stocks.
At the end of March, the in
ventory in internal revenue bond
ed warehouses totalled about 768
million gallons of straight whisky.
OPS estimated this supply would
last eight years and could be
stretched to IL years or more if
the liquor is blended with grain
in neutral spirits.
Present stocks compare with |
about 720 million gallons one year
ago and World War II low of
374 million gallons in 1945.
The Revenue Bureau also re-
ported that Withdrawals from it's
warehouse, which reached q peak
of almost Is million gallons in
August, 1850. dropped to less than
10 million in January of this year
but were back up to more than
13 millions in March.
Eight-Year Tax Limit.
Another complicating factor is
that distillers are required to pay
the tax at the end of eight years
OF storage, or dispose of whisky to
bottlers.
Consequently, officials said g.,
year-old whisky is being offered
at wholesale in bulk for as little
as 81 a gallon before the tax is
paid. This price compares with
the OPS ceiling of $3.50 per gall
Ion before tax.
They said 4-year-old whisky is
being offered at $1.95 to $2.25 a
gallon in wholesale bulk before
taxes, compared with a ceiling of /
1896. and 2-year-old whisky is
being sold at $135 to $1.5O a gall
Ion before taxes, compared with a
ceiling of So
The fact is, the distillers can't
give 1t. away" officials said.
This oversupply has led to some !
reduction in distilling and con-
siderable unemployment scattered
throughout the industry.
Laws Prevent Price Cuts.
Officials said some distillers are
prevented from Offering name
brands at lower prices because
many State laws prevent such
price cuts. l.
AS result many are turning
out new brands, or are reSuming
bottling of former cheaper brands.
Officials said these new or cheaper
brands contain identical whisky
as that sold under name brands.
They said this is the only way
distillers are managing to dis
pose of some of the stocks.
AS an example of the way the
tax figures in the cost of liquor
to the public. a fifth of 1OO-proof
whisky is subject to direct Fed .
eral, State and local taxes ,
totalling about $2.43. {
OF this the Federal tax amounts !
to $2.lO per fifth, and the State {
and local taxes average about ]
$1.60 per gallon. ,

Report on Farm Prices

The Government will issue q
report on farm prices today which
may influence favorably or un-
MISUNDERSTANDING on what it
shows-food and crop production
prospects for 1852.
These prospects currently are
disappointing.
The report, to be made public
by the Agriculture Department
late this afternoon, will show the
average prices farmers received
for various products in mid
March and how they compared
with prices a month earlier and
Q year earlier.
Another department survey last
week indicated that crop plant
ings this year will fall consider
ably below production goals set
by Secretary Brannan. He had
asked for q record farm output, 6
per cent larger than last year.
Farmer concern over declining
prices and over labor supplies
were said to be discouraging
planting plans.
Oficials believed that should
today's report show a halt in a
four-month decline in prices.
farmers might be encouraged to
grow more than has been indi-
