MORE OPA PRICE
ACTIONS SLATED
Many Case Remain To Be
Heard Before Special
Commissioner
Public hearings before Chief
Hearing Commissioner Daniel L.
Bell, of Atlanta, ended here Sat
urday morning with six cases on
OPA price ceilings and rationing
violations being settled by con
sent orders signed by Bell.
With the end of the Dresent
hearing commissioner’s term in
Wilmington, Frank P. Spruill, Jr.,
Raleigh district OPA attorney,
said that 34 cases of OPA viola
tions had been heard or consent
ed to during the week. Other
cases, possibly numbering 35. will
be drawn and scheduled for a
later date, possibly beginning on
Monday, Nov. 29.
The latter group of cases.
Spruill said, are from investiga
tions made during the week by
OPA staff men in Wilmington,
Wrightsville Beach and Carolina
Beach. It was not possible to sche
dule them for hearings this week,
he said, because the calendar had
been filled with cases drawn fol
lowing investigations made dur
ing the first four days of the
price ceiling enforcement drive in
Wilmin.o'tnn
The largest group of cases heard
during the week-long session here
came from the City Market where
meat price, point-value posting,
and price posting violations were
found. Saturday morning, Spruill
personally visited the City Market
and after an extensive survey
commented that “the City Market
was today in the best shape ever
as far as price posting and con
forming to rationing regulations
is concerned. Now the public can
know exactly what to expect when
it purchases rationed meats with
a moment’s glance at the prices
and point-value charts. The farm
er sellers showed fine cooperation
and understanding of the purpose
of the entire price ceiling and
rationing program by their up-to
the-minute postings today.”
Chief Investigator Albert A.
Corbett was also well pleased with
the showing the City Market made
Saturday morning.
Following the close of the hear
! ing6 Saturday morning. Spruill
announced that six cases had been
settled by consent. The orders
were drawn and signed by Hear
ing Commissioner Bell.
