Show May Take Wisdom of Solomon "When there are several bidders bid-ders for one piece of price controlled con-trolled farm machinery, it may take the wisdom of Solomon to decide who should get it, the OPA advises. "Without price control, not even the wisdom of Solomon could keep such machinery down on the farm," OPA continued. "If OPA hadn't set ceilings on it, the bulk of used farm machinery might well be held in the hands of speculators waiting for higher and higher prices. With price control, it has a chance to pass from one user to another at a fair but not an inflated price. Sometimes a jury of farmers, or a farm representative familiar with local conditions is asked to be present at an auction to award machinery to the bidder who needs it mosTw casion a Persian catZl ne n there is no ceiling-wTrn hk a very fancy price fjdfi demanding that the b"y V cat would receive a t 01 to ceiling.
