OPS Survey Now In Operation For r Grocery Stores HL Teams From District f Will Visit Establish ments .Regularly To lay the basis for a program of “community prices” in the nation’* grocery stores, the Office of Price Stabilization will conduct a nation-wide survey of wholesale and retail grocery costs and prices. “The first survey of wholesalers began in the Raleigh area on July ■ SO, and the retail survey will get un ller way on August 2,” District Di rector J. G. Clark announced. He added that at first, establishments will be visited every other week, and that this may be stepped up to every /week if experience indicates a need for more frequent sampling. During the course of the nation wide survey, teams from OPS’ 84 dis trict offices will regularly visit retail food stores and wholesale establish ments gathering information on what grocers pay for foods and what they sell them for. A chief purpose of the s Survey will be to discover whether there is sufficient stability in the prices of a number of standard gro cery items to make a “community pricing program” possible. Community pricing, the Raleigh . (OPS explained, is a system under which the country is divided into market areas, and grocery price ceil ings are established for each area on Ahe basis of local transportation and Either cost factors. These ceilings— which are the same in an area for all stores of the same class —are then ■< -printed on charts for posting in re tail stores where all customers can see them. In addition to determining the rela tive stability of prices of food items subject to change of parity provisions, * the survey will have two further ad vantages: (1) It will furnish a broad basis of comparison between the ac tual selling prices in relation to ceil ing prices as now established under Ceiling Price Regulations 14, 15 and 16—the grocery regulations which provide fixed percentage mark-cps for wholesalers and for small and large retail grocery stores. (2) The process of gathering the needed in formation will prepare and train the OPS staff which will be responsible for the operation of the community food pricing l program when Such a program actually gets under way.
