Tie-In Sales Of Corn Illegal, Says OPA Head
OPA director Walter Kline in Des Moines says tie in sales of corn are illegal if buyers exchange nylons autos or other goods for corn instead of money at the legal price. He notes the practice is widespread with out-of-state truckers seeking bargains and warns of enforcement laxity as price controls vary by sale. Scarcity drives barter, with oats less involved and a developing rate system for trades such as eight nylons for a car of corn.
