Ray Pond of Overcharge Is Viewed by Panel Two complaints, charging violations of ceiling prices on used mechanical refrigerators, ere being Investigated by the Logan price panel, Judge Jesse P. Rich, chairman, reported Monday. The complaints state that the refrigerators were sold at a price of $60 in excess of the legal ceiling prices. Judge Rich pointed out that any person violating these regulations is liable to a suit of $50 minimum or three times the overcharge, and that each of the individuals who profited on the sate of the refrigerators may be sued for $180. He pointed out that OPA ceilings cover the sale of washing machines, wringers, stoves, and all other such appliances. The ceiling prices effect the sale even though the article may be sold by one individual to another. Judge Rich also reminded that all personal services such as paintbricklaying and ing, plastering, other similar work, are covered by ceiling prices. He cited the recent decision oi the panel against a Logan painter who charged more for his services than he did for the base period or of 1942.
