O. Shreve of New- - York, vice president in charge of customer relations of the General Electric Co , declared in Salt Lake today. Visiting Utah on a nationwide tour, Mr. Shreve asserted that Office of Price Administration policies are impossible to administer and that consumers suffer because of price ceilings which are inconsistent and unfair. He pointed out that General Electric alone has over 200,000 item which ought to be reviewed under present OPA regulations, but that to review these items and those of hundreds of other organizations is impossible because the OPA cant hire that many people. Eliminate OPA entirely and full production will result, he asserted. The law of supply and demand, if allowed to operate, will enable the nation to reach a stable economic basis in a comparatively short time, he emphasized. R. M. Alvord of San Francisco, commercial vice president of General Electric Co., who achere companied Mr. Shreve pointed to the fact that small organizations are unable to operate under existing price policies, and that their inability to supply larger companies with products has greatly curtailed production. We at General Electric are doing everything in our power to increase production to the maximum," Mr. Shreve stated. However, until government policies are changed and strikes are settled, we cannot reach full production on electrical goods the public is demanding. Most industries will have a difficult time weathering the current year, and many will be forced out of business because of government policies, he asserted. Mr. Shreve described black market operations in several cities in the west he has visited during the past few weeks. Lumber is frequently sold for ceiling price plus a side wager time of delivery, which fa a common black market practice, he said. We had planned to double the volume of production at General Electric and thus double employment, but we cannot do it now because of government restrictions, Mr. Shreve continui ed. . we cannot Declaring that RealEstate-Boardislo.t- he have a perpetual national debt," rental value of all property Mr. Shreve stated we should . leased by the city. lessen and curtail materially He said that any competent government expenditures.
