Shirt Prices to Soar if MAP Ends
OPA estimates show low priced men’s shirts could rise from 2.50 to 4.50 and women’s dresses from 5.95 to 25 if Congress ends the MAP regulation. The price control bill would terminate MAP on June 30 with no replacement regulation, leaving only the highest price line rule to cap spikes. OPA expects clothing costs to jump by about 1.25 billion dollars over six to nine months under the bill.
