Show THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH OPA. Not the fact that they're trying to hold the line against inflation. The manufacturers wholesalers, retailers and consumers are 100 per cent back of their objectives but NO ONE but the few bureaucratic theorists who dictate the methods and policies of OPA are in accord with their methods. What's fair for one is fair for all, and if a manufacturer manufac-turer who has been producing goods and services ser-vices for a nation for years can manufacture an article to sell at $10, the fiy-by-nighters should not be permitted to place OPA "ceil ing prices" of $18, $20 or $22 on a like item of the same or inferior quality. When official acts fail to please a large group of freedom-loving Americans, they usually start howling for a housecleaning OPA has a lot of major achievements to their credit, and they may not need a house-cleaning, house-cleaning, but a shake-up in their policy-making group definitely seems to be called for. Theycan't hold the line part way and let it bend at certain points, without it eventually breaking with a snapback that will make some pretty sore fingers out of the digits holding the ends. |
