C., are stacking millions of board feet of lumber which has been reclaimed from scrap. At this port alone it is estimated that $75,000 worth of lumber has been roc’aimed Local Price Panels To Handle Ceiling P'rice Violations Authority Is Given Local Panels to Order Settle ment for Overcharges Better understanding of OPA regu lations and greater general compli ance with price ceilings are expected to be the ultimate result of OPA's ac tion in broadening responsibility of the local price panel for handling violations of retail ceiling prices Ed M. Hill, chairman of the Washing ton County War Price and Ration ing Board, said today. Under the new revision of the price control law. OPA Administrator, Chester E. Bowles has authorized price panels to negotiate with re tailers for settlement involving pay ments to the United States Treasury or to the customers in cases of over charges. This simply means," Mr. Hill said, "that cases of minor price violations will be settled right here in Washing ton County, where problems are best understood, and by volunteer price panel members whose main .interest in serving on the hoard is to aid the fight against inflation.” The new authorization, OPA said, was issued in answer to frequent re quests made by price panels for the additional authority to bolster their efforts toward more general compli ance to price regulations. Of course, Mr. Hill said, the new order does not mean a "softening” of OPA enforcement effort for aggravat ed cases and wilful violators will con tinue to come before the attention of the district enforcement division of OPA. The authorization will also close a loophole in OPA price compliance ef forts which has resulted from reti cence of many consumers about bringing charges against retailers in cases of known violators. The order gives the price panel au thority, in cases of overcharge, to Its Plain Common Sense To put a portion of your earnings away with regularity, out of every pay check. And that’s over and above your War Bond purchases, of course. Uncle Sam uses your savings funds to speed Victory, too. You’ll have them accumulated when you need them most, years from now! Branch Banking & Trust Company ‘ THE SAFE EXECUTOR” PLYMOUTH, NORTH CAROLINA Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation $5,000 Maximum Insurance For Each Depositor SOUND BANKING AND TRUST SERVICE FOR EASTERN CAROLINA summon the retailer and negotiable for settlement after the details have been heard and the violation estab lished as a fact. Where the violation is found to be not willful, the violator may, on the first complaint, settle for the xmount of the overcharge and signing a compliance agreement. The cash paid in the settlement is payable to the of fended customer, or to the U. S. Treasury if lie is unknown or will not accept. On the second, or following, com plaint which proves to be an unwil ful violation, settlement may be made by the violator paying to the U. S. Treasury the amount of the over charges or $25, whichever is the greater. Again the violator must sign a compliance agreement. If the violation is the result of in difference or extreme carelessness the panel will settle for one and one-half times the overcharge or $25, which McNutt and Nelson Issue Statement on Reconversion In a joint statemnt on the recon version from war production to civil ian production. Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the War Production Board, and Paul V. McNutt, chairman of the War Manpower Commission, declared that "wherever labor and materials are available which are not needed in. or cannot be made avail able for, war production they should be employed in civilian production" and that planning "should go for ward ... so that, as employment in war production ends, jobs in civilian production can be readily found." ever is greater. But if the violation is wilfull. the case will be deferred to the District Office. In no case may the price panel return to the customer more than the actual overcharge. However, Mr. Hill pointed out. customers may. as in the past, sue for three times the amount of overcharge or $50, whichever is the greater, provided they do so be fore the price panel acts. OPA Requires Auto Dealers Post Lists ——® Raleigh. — Automobile rationing regulations have been amended to re quire all dealers to post lists of their current inventory of 1942 cars for sale or to post notice to the effect if they have none. In announcing the regulation, ef fective November 4. Theodore S. Johnson, Raleigh OPA district direc tor. said dealers who refuse to sell a car to a prospective buyer who has the cash and necessary paper may be barred from dealing in any rationed cars. Johnson said the action was neces sary to see that the remaining mea ger supplies of new cars in the na tion be used to the greatest possible advancement of the total war effort. The amendment also extended val idity period of car rationing certi ficates from 15 to 60 days, after which they are not renewable.
