The new OPA-type regu lations put prioe controls on about 60 per cent of the nation’s $32,000,000,000 food budget. The regula tions cover 10,000 whole sale food suppliers and 560,000 retail food stores. Price stabilizer Michael V. Di- San predicted that price rollbacks would outweigh the increases. The order permits retail and wholesale food stores to add cer tain fixed percentages of their net costs to the price of an item. That is their mark-up. PRICE FREEZE REPLACED The controls aflect food items for which housewives spend about $20,- 000,000,000 a year. They replace the general price freeze-, of Jan. 25 on these goods and are to be put into effect between April 5 and April 30. ‘ At the same time, economic Stabilizer Eric A. Johnston said a “tough policy on business profits" is essential for stabilization. He apparently referred to a pending price roder limiting manufactur ers’ price markups to pre-Korean levels. Johnston also confirmed reports he Jtae Mked to farm organiza tions about freezing parity, betr rnd he has made no specific pro posals, and he said efforts to end the wage board dispute have got nowhere. .

The bill Is a rather lengthy document, go ing into some detail with respect to exemptions and exceptions to the general prohibition against selling merchandise by the State or in State buildings under lease to pri vate operators. The substitute bin, which is rated better than three to one odds far passing the House and 10. to one for Senate passage, protects existing practices of oper ating durg stores and sundry Coun ters in bloated institutions, and makes dear that it does affect op eration of Carolina Inn and other services by the University at Chapel Hill.

Budget Passed As Final Day Nears RALEIGH, March 29 (IP) —The General Assembly appeared today to be a long step nearer adjoum r ment following approval by the Joint Appropriations Committee of a $501,563,000 spending program for the next two years. The committee gave a favorable report to the proposed budget yes terday after beating down seyeral attempts to add still mqrfc rhoney to the already expanded spending 1 As passed sideration it included $42,778,000 added to the general fund purse by the appropriations sub-com mittee. The members also defeated by a vote of 43-28 a move to restore to the governor and Council of State control of the $2,000,000 Contin gency and Emergency Fund. ATTEMPTS TO PREVENT MOVE The sub-committee recommended control of the- fund be shifted to the governor and Advisory Budget Commission. But Sen. M. T. Leatherman of Lincolnton tried to have the bill amended to prevent that shift. He drew support from members who said the transfer of control would be a dangerous departure from constitutional procedure and “ugly” in its Implications. The backers of the move said the change would be logical be cause members of the Advisory Budget Commission were better informed about budgetary pro bleihs than members of the Council of State. Rep. Clyde Shreve of Guilford asked the committee to add about $19,200,000 to the public schools (CentinigM on Page 7) NO HELP WANTED IVOR, Va., March 29—(UV-State Trooper A. O.
