OPA Restores June 30 Restaurant Ceilings Amid Price Moves
Washington, Sept. 17. An OPA edict reimposes June 30 restaurant price ceilings on meals where meat is the major ingredient, rolling back dining costs though the agency did not estimate the amount. The Price Decontrol Board plans to decide on restoring dairy product ceilings, with opposition noted in nine of the first dozen statements received. Also, petitions for higher GM auto prices are studied after a 6 percent average increase for Ford cars. Cotton clothing retail prices rise another 1 percent while bed linens and towels see about a 1.8 percent boost, with payouts to start in four to eight weeks. Bob Conley, 902 Fillmore.
