No Controls
Planned for
Gift Stamps

C. T. Nottingham, the Dis
trict's licensing superintendent,
wants to wait and see how
trading stamps will work out
here.
Mr.. Nottingham said today
he believes it would be pre-
mature to set up licensing
regulations now on the new
stamp distribution operation.
It would be better to hold back
and see if such controls are
needed TO protect the public
from any abuses, he explained.
Congress has passed a bill
that would allow merchants in
the city to distribute the
stamps. The new law repeals
a ban on the distribution of
free gifts as a condition of
sale. The measure now awaits
the Presidents signature.
Today, Mr.. Nottingham and
representatives of the Corpora
ton Counsel's office will confer
with officials of several of the
established trading stamp COM
panies. The meeting at the Dis
trict Building is to discuss the
details of the various problems
involved in the introduction of
the stamps in Washington.
The trading stamps have
been legal in both Maryland
and Virginia suburbs, and mer-
chants in the District had COM
planned that the city's gift en-
terprise law restrictions had
placed them at competitive
disadvantage.
