Profit Margin Cut on Items of Food
The OPA reduced profit margins on cabbage and onions and cut prices on salt codfish as part of a broader effort to lower living costs. The action accompanies plans for a 10 percent subsidy driven cut in retail beef and related staples by June 1. Meany of the AFL calls the subsidies inadequate and urges broader price rollbacks to May 1942 levels. Community price ceilings in 130 metros become effective, though not altering legal grocery costs, with further regional price plans for beef veal lamb and mutton and new ceiling rules for soap and canned goods.
