Retailers Claim Suits Are Being Hoarded By Makers
Washington AP report says manufacturers hold at least 700000 men s suits awaiting OPA price adjustments. Louis H Rothschild of the National Association of Retail Clothiers and Furnishers calls the estimate conservative and says hoarding would ease the suit shortage until price regulations are revised. OPA officials say they were surprised and note no general price increase is planned. A new price order, due in about two weeks, could raise maker marks ups over cost in some cases.
