 Act of 1950 (Public Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 Executive Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), 
 and Economic Stabilization Agency. 
 General Order No. 2 (16 F. R 738) : It is 
 hereby ordered, Thar ceiling prices and 
 ceilings on the weighted average realiza¬ 
 tion on the sale of coal, except Pennsyl¬ 
 vania anthracite, from a mine or prepa¬ 
 ration plant shall be effective as provided 
 in this Ceiling Price Regulation No. 3. 
 
 Statement of considerations. Bitu¬ 
 minous coal prices have been non-infla- 
 tionary since the Korean outbreak. 
 However, with the threat of a more seri¬ 
 ous emergency and the possibilities of 
 record-high levels in industrial activity 
 resulting from the defense program, it is 
 likely that a basic industry such as coal 
 will not be able to avoid the forces of 
 inflation. During World War II coal 
 proved to be the main source of energy 
 for the economy, and it was produced in 
 great volume to satisfy the civilian and 
 military needs of the country. It again 
 may have to be produced in large 
 amounts to meet the needs of the coun¬ 
 try in building its defenses. 
 
 Average mine realization, i. e., the 
 average price per ton f. o. b. the mine, 
 has changed very little during the last 
 three years. According to figures com¬ 
 piled and published by the United States 
 Bureau of Mines, the average mine reali¬ 
 zation was as follows: 
 
 Per ton 
 
 1948 _ *4 99 
 
 1949 _ 4 85 
 
 1950 estimated_ 4. 90 
 
 Since July 1948 wholesale prices on 
 bituminous coal—f. o. b. mine prices plus 
 transpo r tation charges—compiled by the 
 United States Bureau of Labor Statis¬ 
 tics, have fluctuated within a narrow 
 range of one percent. At the same time, 
 they reflect increased transportation 
 costs in part, which means that current 
 mine prices are lower, even though 
 slightly, than they were a year or two 
 back. According to the latest informa¬ 
 tion available, it appears that the bitu¬ 
 minous coal price level has changed little 
 since 1948, and the change that has 
 taken place has edged downward. There 
 is no evidence of a general increase in 
 bituminous coal prices since the Korean 
 outbreak. 
 
 Bituminous coal is mined in 30 States 
 of the United States and Alaska by thou¬ 
 sands of companies. Over 90 percent of 
 the total production is mined east of 
 the Mississippi River to supply a sub¬ 
 stantial part of the country’s main fuel 
 
 market. Today, coal is in good supply 
 except as occasioned in special instances 
 by transportation shortages. With pres¬ 
 ent manpower and equipment, along 
 with adequate transport, the bituminous 
 coal industry can increase its output well 
 above the current rate, which is 550 to 
 560 million tons annually. 
 
 With its many companies spread over 
 the nation, the bituminous coal industry 
 is highly competitive and there are few 
 markets where tonnage from widely sep¬ 
 arated fields fail to meet. In addition, 
 coal has strong competition from oil, 
 natural gas and waterpower. 
 
 Actually, coal is not one but many 
 products represented by sizes and grades 
 produced under widely different condi¬ 
 tions. Because of this factor and be¬ 
 cause of the keen competition, it has 
 a complex market structure. If the 
 latter is ignored under a system of ceil¬ 
 ing price control, production and distri¬ 
 bution will be hampered and financial 
 difficulties will be encountered which will 
 jeopardize the ability of the industry to 
 supply the maximum needs of the econ¬ 
 omy. Becau ;e of seasonal and other 
 factors, it requires a period of approxi¬ 
 mately one year to obtain a representa¬ 
 tive picture of market operations. 
 
 Records over the years show that the 
 bituminous coal industry is not a pros¬ 
 perous one and that it has been 
 considered hazardous for investment 
 purposes. New capital has to be derived 
 primarily from earnings. Yet, the pro¬ 
 gressive management in the industry has 
 mechanized the mines to a high degree, 
 particularly in late years, and has pro¬ 
 vided a plant that needs a steady return 
 for financial support. A large percent¬ 
 age of the earnings during the better 
 periods since World War II have been 
 used in large amounts to promote greater 
 plant modernization. This accounts for 
 the very sound and strong position of 
 the industry to produce all of the coal 
 required by the country for its civilian 
 and defense programs. 
 
 In combatting inflation, the bitumi¬ 
 nous coal industry generally can adopt 
 pre-Korean price levels without financial 
 hardship except for the impact of the 
 wage increase negotiated during the first 
 two weeks of January 1951, and effective 
 February 1, 1951, and parallel wage in¬ 
 creases in other segments of the industry. 
 Since the industry absorbed the increased 
 costs of the wage agreement entered into 
 in March of 1950, the additional cost of 
 the 1951 wage increase, without price 
 adjustment by mines, would result in 
 serious financial difficulties. It is esti¬ 
 mated that the 1951 wage advance will 
 cost, on a weighted average basis, ap¬ 
 proximately 25 cents per ton. This ad¬ 
 vance, of course, will vary from mine to 
 mine. Furthermore, not only was the 
 1950 wage addition absorbed, but the 
 increased costs of supplies and other 
 items related to mining, have been ab¬ 
 sorbed without price advances since the 
 start of the Korean conflict. 
 
 Another consideration is that the bi¬ 
 tuminous industry, with its numerous 
 units, has many mines operating at a 
 return near or below costs. A price 
 schedule established without recognition 
 of these situations can depress produc¬ 
 tion A cost increase such as resulting 
 from wages, unless reflected in prices, 
 may cause the actual closing of mines 
 
 In arriving at a fair and representa¬ 
 tive period upon which to base ceiling 
 prices, it was obvious that the 12 months' 
 period prior to the Korean outbreak was 
 unrepresentative insofar as most of the 
 bituminous coal industry is concerned. 
 During that period there were general 
 suspensions of operations and there were 
 three-day week operations beyond the 
 control of the industry during a good 
 part of the period. In addition to these 
 factors the 1949-50 winter was compara¬ 
 tively warm in the major fuel consuming 
 markets, which depressed coal sales of 
 domestic heating coals. Excesses in the 
 supply of residual fuel oil caused by im¬ 
 ports from foreign fields competed with 
 industrial coal and captured large coal 
 markets on the Atlantic seaboard and at 
 other points. This factor also resulted 
 in price reductions These factors, 
 viewed as exceptional and temporary, 
 combined to cause serious disruptions in 
 the marketing of bituminous coal and 
 their effects are still noticeable today. 
 
 The period July 1948 to June 1949, in¬ 
 clusive, is considered to be the latest 
 year that has the features of normalcy. 
 Bituminous coal production during that 
 year was 576 million tons, about what 
 might be expected during the year ahead. 
 There were no general strikes of conse¬ 
 quence. At the same time, on the con¬ 
 servative side, the 1948-49 winter was 
 relatively warm, and the impact of for¬ 
 eign oil had begun to be felt by late 1948. 
 As stated above, there have been no wide' 
 fluctuations since the middle of 1948. 
 
 The regulation controlling ceiling 
 prices of bituminous coal, lignite and 
 Virginia anthracite contemplates (a) 
 limiting the average mine realization, 
 during 12 months’ periods under the 
 regulation, to the average mine reali¬ 
 zation of the base period, as adjusted, 
 and (b) fixing ceiling prices at the high¬ 
 est prices received during the base period 
 or the period from January 1-15, 1951, 
 as adjusted. The latter period permits 
 the reflection of the more current 
 changes in price relationships. In brief, 
 the regulation Axes average mine reali¬ 
 zations at a representative pre-Korean 
 year and the ceiling prices for individual 
 sizes or grades of coal at the highest 
 prices received during the same year ex¬ 
 cept for recognition of recent changes 
 in price patterns. On the average, prices 
 for domestic heating coals and other 
 major grades are today at about the 
 same level they were in the base period. 
 Average realization obtainable under 
 this order will not exceed the average 
 realization that could be obtained under 
 the General Ceiling Price Regulation. 
 
81 Trans 31:2 
 
 To the realization levels and celling 
 prices so established, the regulation per¬ 
 mits the addition of the increased costs 
 under the 1951 wage agreement. 
 
 In arriving at a fair and representa¬ 
 tive base period for the industry, it was 
 determined that conditions affecting the 
 bituminous coal industry west of the 
 Mississippi River required a different 
 base period. This segment of the in¬ 
 dustry produces less than 10 percent of 
 the national output. In that part of the 
 country the Industry was affected less 
 by strikes and the three-day week than 
 was the industry east of the Mississippi. 
 Furthermore, the western fields were af¬ 
 fected less by competition with foreign 
 oil. The winters in the west were more 
 normal and enhapced the marketing 
 and realization of domestic sizes. 
 Therefore, the realization levels have 
 increased since 1948 but have not shown 
 an increase since June of 1950. 
 
 Therefore, the regulation as applicable 
 to the bituminous coal industry west of 
 the Mississippi River and Alaska will use 
 
 (a) a period March to December 1950. 
 inclusive, as a base period, and (b that 
 period and January 1-15, 1951, inclusive, 
 will be used from which to establish 
 ceiling prices. It is found that provi¬ 
 sions of the regulation promote stability 
 and efficiency. 
 
 Findings of the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization. In the judgment of the 
 Director of Price Stabilization the provi¬ 
 sions of Ceiling Price Regulation No. 3 
 are generally fair and equitable and are 
 necessary to effectuate the purposes of 
 Title IV of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950. 
 
 So far as practicable the Diractor of 
 Price Stabilization gave due consider¬ 
 ation to the national effort to achieve 
 maximum production in furtherance of 
 the objectives of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950; to prices prevailing during 
 the period from May 24, 1950, to June 
 24. 1950, Inclusive; and to relevant fac¬ 
 tors of general applicability. 
 
 In formulating this regulation the Di¬ 
 rector has consulted with representa¬ 
 tives of the Industry to the extent 
 practicable under the circumstances, 
 and has glvan consideration to their 
 recommendations.

 ance with the provisions of this regula¬ 
 tion. 
 
 (b) No person shall, in the course of 
 trade or business, buy or receive such 
 coal so delivered or shipped at prices 
 higher than the ceiling prices deter¬ 
 mined in accordance with the provisions

 (c) No person shall agree, offer, solicit, 
 or attempt to do anything prohibited in 
 paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section. 
 
 Sec. 4 Ceiling prices and ceiling 
 weighted average realization, (a) The 
 ceiling prices for each mine or group of 
 mines, for any size or grade of coal, as 
 established by previous marketing prac¬ 
 tices. which may be charged under this 
 regulation shall be the highest prices 
 received for coal in the same sizes or 
 grades in the base period or in the period 
 January 1-15, inclusive, 1951. The pro¬ 
 ducer shall file a certified statement of 
 these ceiling prices, to include such ceil¬ 
 ing prices as are derived frjm distrib¬ 
 utors* sales, with the Director and with 
 the regional office or offices of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization in the area or areas 
 where the producer's coal is shipped, 
 within 10 days after such prices become 
 effective, on a form prescribed and in ac¬ 
 cordance with instructions issued by the 
 Director, as provided in section 7 of this 
 regulation. 
 
 (b) On and after February 1, 1951, 
 the prices charged for the coal produced 
 at any mine or group of mines shall be 
 such that the weighted average realiza¬ 
 tion per ton by the producer for the 12- 
 month period commencing February 1, 
 1951. and ending January 31, 1952, and 
 for each 12-month period beginning on 
 the first day of each succeeding month, 
 commencing March 1, 1951, shall not ex¬ 
 ceed the weighted average realization 
 obtained by the producer from the sale, 
 delivery or other disposal of coal during 
 the base period. 
 
81 Trans 31:3 
 
 (c) The producer shall determine his 
 ceiling weighted average realization for 
 the base period for any such mine or 
 
 | group of mines by dividing the realiza¬ 
 tion received from sales of coal on the 
 open market by the number of tons so 
 sold. The producer shall file a certified 
 statement of the ceiling weighted aver¬ 
 age realization so determined with the 
 Director, as required by section 8 (a) of 
 this regulation. 
 
 (d) The ceiling prices and Ceiling 
 weighted average realization determined 
 for a mine or mines in accordance with 
 the provisions of this regulation may be 
 increased by the amount of the increase 
 in cost resulting from wage and salary 
 advances and other items related to the 
 payroll: Provided, That such increases 
 became effective on or after January 1, 
 1951, and prior to July 1, 1951, and that 
 such increases satisfy the policy and re¬ 
 quirements of the Wage Stabilization 
 Board of the Economic Stabilization 
 Agency. 
 
 (e) The highest price referred to in 
 paragraph (a) of this section shall be 
 separately determined by the producer 
 in accordance with such classification, 
 whether by size, grade or other grouping 
 or designation as established by previous 
 marketing practices. 
 
 (f) The ceiling prices to be determined 
 in paragraph (a) of this section and the 
 ceiling weighted average realization to 
 be determined under paragraph (b) of 
 this section may, at tht option of the 
 producer, be determined and established 
 for a group of mines (as distinguished 
 
 | from a particular mine), where such 
 mines are operated or controlled by a 
 single person, and where such mines 
 produce similar and interchangeable 
 coals: And provided, further That such 
 groupings have been the usual custom 
 and practice in the marketing of such 
 coals. 
 
 Sec. 5. Long-term contracts, (a) A 
 producer who sells and delivers coal un¬ 
 der a bona fide long-term written con¬ 
 tract of three years or longer, entered 
 into prior to July 1, 1948, may, at his 
 option, exclude such tonnage in deter¬ 
 mining the ceiling weighted average 
 realization under section 4 (c) of this 
 regulation and must exclude such ton¬ 
 nage in determining ceiling prices under 
 section 4 (a) of this regulation. In such 
 event, the realization obtained from coal 
 sold under such contract during the life 
 of this regulation may not be included in 
 computing realization under section 4 
 
 (b) of this regulation. Such tonnage 
 and realization shall be reported sepa¬ 
 rately on forms prescribed and in ac¬ 
 cordance with instructions issued by the 
 Director. 
 
 (b) Coal sold and delivered under the 
 terms and conditions of all such con¬ 
 tracts, whether excluded or not. may 
 continue to be sold and delivered in ac¬ 
 cordance with the terms and conditions, 
 including pricing provisions, of such 
 contracts. 
 
 | Sec. 6. Procedure for establishing 
 ceilings on new products, (a) In the 
 event the weighted average realization 
 for a mine or group of mines as deter¬ 
 mined in accordance with the foregoing 
 provisions is less than the representative 
 cost of production at such mine or mines 
 
 the producer may file a petition asking 
 for such adjustment in his ceiling prices 
 or realization as will not require the mine 
 or group of mines to operate at a loss. 
 
 (b) In the event a mine or group of 
 mines were not in operation during all 
 or part of the base period, or in the event 
 all or a portion of a mine or group of 
 mines’ production as presently produced 
 has been affected by unusual circum¬ 
 stances or is of a special or enhanced 
 quality due to the installation of prep¬ 
 aration or other facilities during or since 
 the base period, such producer may file 
 a petition seeking the establishment of 
 ceiling prices and a ceiling weighted av¬ 
 erage realization that are fair and 
 equitable. The producer shall state the 
 name of the mine, if any, the name or 
 number of the seam, the county and the 
 state in which the mine is located, the 
 type of operation whether underground 
 or strip; and in addition shall furnish 
 the same information for the nearest 
 mine or mines in the same seam and 
 producing coal similarly processed, and 
 the applicable ceiling prices for such 
 mine. If there is no such mine in the 
 same seam, the producer shall furnish 
 the same comparative information for 
 the nearest mine in a substantially simi¬ 
 lar seam. 
 
 For 30 days after filing the application, 
 such coals of the applicant shall be sold 
 at temporary ceiling prices no higher 
 than the ceiling prices established under 
 this regulation for the coals which are 
 produced at the nearest mine or mines 
 in the same seam or in a substantially 
 similar seam and similarly processed. 
 After 30 days from the filing of the ap¬ 
 plication, if no action has been taken by 
 the Director, the prices as requested in 
 the application shall be the ceiling prices 
 for such coals. 
 
 (c) If a particular size of coal was 
 not made or sold during the base period 
 or during the period January 1-15, in¬ 
 clusive, 1951, and therefore no specific 
 ceiling price is established therefor, the 
 ceiling price for such size shall be de¬ 
 termined as follows: 
 
 (d) (1) If the particular unpriced size 
 is a lump size, the ceiling price shall be 
 not more than the lowest ceiling price 
 established for any size of lump coal for 
 the same mine. 
 
 (2) If the particular unpriced size is a 
 double-screened coal, the ceiling price 
 shall be not more than the lowest ceiling 
 price established for any double-screened 
 size of the same mine. 
 
 (3) If the particular unpriced size is a 
 resultant (slack or screening) size, the 
 ceiling price shall be not more than the 
 lowest ceiling price for any resultant 
 (slack or screening) size of the same 
 mine. 
 
 (e) In the event of the mixture of two 
 or more sizes or classifications of coal to 
 which different ceiling prices are appli¬ 
 cable, which mixture was not made dur¬ 
 ing the base period or the period January 
 1-15,1951. the ceiling price for such mix¬ 
 ture shall not be more than the weighted 
 average of the ceiling prices for each of 
 the component sizes or classifications of 
 coal in said mixture, on a per net ton 
 basis. 
 
 (f) It is the intent and purpose of 
 this section and this regulation that no 
 mine or group of mines shall obtain an 
 
 average realization for any consecutive 
 12-month period beginning February 1, 
 1951, which exceeds the weighted aver¬ 
 age realization during the base period 
 as adjusted. 
 
 (g) Where bituminous coal is de¬ 
 livered from a mine or preparation plant 
 in any transportation facilities owned 
 or subject to the control of the producer 
 or subsidiary or affiliate of the producer, 
 or in any transportation facilitias hired 
 by the producer, there may be added to 
 the applicable ceiling prices established 
 herein a sum not in excess of the highest 
 charge for transportation costs made 
 during the base period or the period 
 January 1-15, 1951, inclusive, but in no 
 event to exceed the lowest common car¬ 
 rier rate for a haul between the same 
 points; provided that there may also be 
 added by a producer, to the applicable 
 ceiling price established herein, an 
 amount not in excess of the transporta¬ 
 tion tax imposed by section 620 of the 
 Revenue Act of 1942 if said producer in¬ 
 curred such tax and if he separately 
 states the amount of the tax in sales to 
 all purchasers except the United States 
 or any agency thereof, the District of 
 Columbia, any state •government or any 
 political subdivision thereof. 
 
 (h) The rate of interest on overdue 
 accounts or on a note, trade acceptance 
 or other form of indebtedness accepted 
 in payment of an account shall not ex¬ 
 ceed the rate charged by the seller on 
 similar transactions during the base 
 period. 
 
 (i) Any purchaser, lessee or transferee 
 of a mine for which ceiling prices and a 
 ceiling weighted average realization have 
 been established shall take the ceiling 
 prices or ceiling weighted average reali¬ 
 zation previously assigned to the mine or 
 other seller, lessor, or transferor thereof. 
 
 Sec. 7. Less than ceiling prices. Lower 
 prices than those established under this 
 regulation may be charged, demanded, 
 paid or offered. 
 
 Sec. 8. Evasion. The price limitations 
 set forth in this regulation shall not be 
 evaded, whether by direct or indirect 
 methods, in connection with an offer, so¬ 
 licitation,. agreement, sale, delivery, 
 purchase or receipt of or relating to bi¬ 
 tuminous coal alone or in conjunction 
 with any other commodity or by way of 
 commission, service, transportation, or 
 other charge, or discount, premium or 
 other privilege, or by tie-in agreement 
 or other trade understanding, or by the 
 making of excessive charges for trucking 
 or otherwise. Persons subject to the reg¬ 
 ulation shall continue to observe their 
 customary and standard cash discount 
 practices. 
 
 Sec. 9. Reporting, invoicing and rec¬ 
 ord-keeping requirements. (a) Each 
 producer shall compute and establish its 
 weighted average realization during the 
 base period and shall report such reali¬ 
 zation base to the Director within 10 
 days after the date ceiling prices become 
 effective under this regulation. The re¬ 
 port shall be made on forms prescribed 
 and according to instructions issued by 
 the Administrator. 
 
 (b) The basis for setting up ceiling

 Sec. 12 Adjustable pricing. Any per¬ 
 son may agree to sell at a price which 
 can be increased up to the ceiling price 
 in effect at the time of delivery; but no 
 person may. unless authorized by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, deliver or 
 agree to deliver at prices to be adjusted 
 upward in accordance with action taken 
 by the Director after delivery. Such au¬ 
 thorization may be given when a request 
 for a change in the applicable ceiling 
 price is pending, but only if the authori¬ 
 
 zation is necessary to promote distribu¬ 
 tion or production and if it will not 
 interfere with the purposes of the De¬ 
 fense Production Act of 1950. The au¬ 
 thorization may be given by the Director 
 or by any official of the Office of’ Price 
 Stabilization to whom the authority to 
 grant such authorization has been dele¬ 
 gated. The authorization will be given 
 by order, except that it may be given by 
 letter or telegram when the contem¬ 
 plated revision will be the granting of 
 an individual application for adjustment. 
 
 Sec. 13. Taxes. There may be added 
 to the applicable ceiling price the 
 amount of any sales, gross receipts, 
 gross proceeds or use tax levied by any 
 statute or ordinance, under which the 
 tax is measured by gross proceeds or 
 units of sale, only if the statute or ordi¬ 
 nance permits or requires the seller to 
 state the tax separately and the seller 
 does state it separately on his invoice or 
 other memorandum of sale, and only if 
 the seller customarily added the amount 
 of such tax to the ceiling price and sep¬ 
 arately stated the tax on his invoices 
 prior to January 15, 1951. 
 
 Sec. 14. Enforcement. Persons violat¬ 
 ing any provision of this regulation are 
 subject to the criminal penalties, and 
 enforcement actions, and suits for dam¬

 [Ceiling Price Regulation 3, Amendment 1]

 Preparation Plant 
 
 MISCELLANEOUS AMENDMENTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Public Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 Executive Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), 
 and Economic Stabilization General 
 Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Amend¬ 
 ment 1 to Ceiling Price Regulation 3 (16 
 F. R. 1008), is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 The amendments to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 3 contained in this document are 
 intended to clarify and strengthen cer¬ 
 tain provisions of the original regulation 
 and to permit the acceptance of pre¬ 
 miums on coal sold under premium-and- 
 penalty contracts. 
 
 A paragraph (d) is added to section 3 
 to permit producers and distributors to 
 receive compensation over ceiling prices 
 in accordance with premium-and-pen- 
 alty contracts. The additional compen¬ 
 sation must be included in the realiza¬ 
 tion reported under the regulation, how¬ 
 ever. 
 
 The original regulation did not con¬ 
 tain specific provisions outlining a meth¬ 
 od under which a producer who pur¬ 
 chases coal from other producers and 
 sells it as a mixed product may deter¬ 
 mine his cost increase under section 4 
 (d) of CPR 3. The amendment sets 
 forth a formula which provides that such 
 producer shall include the cost increase 
 of all the coal, if any, he produces from 
 his own mines and of purchased coal. 
 
 Section 6 (b) has been amended to 
 clarify and strengthen the procedure the 
 Director may follow in considering such 
 applications and requesting additional 
 information needed to arrive at a de¬ 
 cision. 
 
 Section 6 (g> has been amended to 
 refer to coal, as defined in the regula¬ 
 tion, and to authorize distributors to add 
 transportation charges to the ceiling 
 prices of coal. The latter change puts 
 them on an equal footing with the pro¬ 
 ducers and brings this section in line 
 with a similar section in the CPR 4, An¬ 
 thracite Delivered from Mine or Prepa¬ 
 ration Plant. The references to trans¬ 
 portation charges in the base period and 
 I January 1 to 15, 1951, are deleted to 
 bring this paragraph in line with the 
 CPR 4 and to relieve an inequitable sit¬ 
 uation which developed from an inad¬ 
 vertent inclusion of the references now 
 being removed. 
 
 Section 9 has been amended to require 
 filing of the monthly reports of realiza¬ 
 tion on the last day of the month follow¬ 
 ing the month for which the report is 
 made, instead of the 20th day of such 
 month. Many producers in the industry 
 reported that because of the additional 
 statistical load related to the defense 
 program they are unable to make this 
 report earlier than the last day of the 
 month. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 3 is hereby 
 amended as follows: 
 
 1. Section 2 (b) “Producer,” is amend¬ 
 ed to read as follows: 
 
 (b) “Producer” means a person en¬ 
 gaged in the business of (1) mining, (2) 
 preparing coal at a preparation plant 
 which is an adjunct of a mine or mines, 
 (3) mining, stripping, and/or loading 
 coal under contract with a producer or 
 other person, or (4) assembling, loading 
 or otherwise handling, and shipping coal 
 from a ramp or other loading facility; 
 and any person acting as an agent of a 
 producer. 
 
 2. A new paragraph (d) is hereby 
 added to section 3 as follows: 
 
 (d) Notwithstanding any provision to 
 the contrary, a producer or distributor 
 may sell and deliver coal pursuant to 
 a contract which contains a premium 
 and penalty provision based on the spec¬ 
 ifications of such coal, and may demand 
 and receive compensation in an amount 
 per ton, in addition to the ceiling price 
 provided by said contract: Provided, 
 however, That the basic price contained 
 in such contract does not exceed the 
 ceiling price established under this reg¬ 
 ulation and in effect at the time of de¬ 
 livery: And provided further. That the 
 terms of such premium and penalty pro¬ 
 vision are reasonable and are not more 
 favorable to the producer or distributor 
 then premium and penalty provisions 
 contained in similar contracts of the 
 producer or other producers or distribu¬ 
 tor or other distributors in effect since 
 July 1, 1948. The amount received as a 
 premium hereunder shall be included in 
 monthly realization reported by the pro¬ 
 ducer. 
 
 3. Section 4 (e) is relettered 4 (f) 
 
 4. Section 4 (f) is relettered 4 (g). 
 
 5. The last clause of section 4 (a) is 
 amended to read as follows: “as pro¬ 
 vided in section 9 of this regulation.” 
 
 6. The Jast clause of section 4 (c) is 
 amended to read as follows: “as required 
 by section 9 (a) of this regulation.” 
 
 7. A new section 4 (e) is added to read 
 as follows: 
 
 (e) (1) A producer that operates a 
 preparation plant, a ramp, or other load¬ 
 ing facility, and that by usual custom 
 
 obtains all or part of its coal from an¬ 
 other producer or producers, may in¬ 
 crease its ceiling prices and its ceiling 
 weighted average realization by an 
 amount representing a weighted aver¬ 
 age of the increased cost, if any, of all 
 the producer’s own coal'and purchased 
 coal (as certified by the supplier to the 
 producer) processed or loaded at such 
 preparation plant, ramp or other load¬ 
 ing facility resulting from wage and sal¬ 
 ary advances and related payroll items 
 which became effective on or after Jan¬ 
 uary 1, 1951, and prior to July 1, 1951, 
 and which satisfy the policy and re¬ 
 quirements of the Wage Stabilization 
 Board of the Economic Stabilization 
 Agency: Provided, That where such cost 
 increases on purchased coal are not 
 available to the producer, the amount, if 
 any, which the supplier has added to the 
 price of the coal sold to the producer in 
 February and March, 1951, as author¬ 
 ized by CPR 3, may be used in comput¬ 
 ing the weighted average adjustment 
 applicable to the preparation plant, 
 ramp, or other loading facility. 
 
 (2) In determining the proportion of 
 the producer’s own. coal and the coal 
 purchased from suppliers for the purpose 
 of computing the weighted average in¬ 
 crease referred to in subparagraph (1) 
 of this paragraph, the nearest period of 
 one month or longer prior to February 1, 
 1951, which is representative of the fu¬ 
 ture supply of coal for such preparation 
 plant, ramp or other loading facility 
 shall be used. 
 
 8. The reference to “paragraph <b)” 
 in section 4 (f) is amended to refer to 
 “paragraph (c)”. 
 
 9. The word “petition” in section 6 (a) 
 is deleted and the word “application” is 
 substituted. 
 
 10. Section 6 <b) is hereby amended 
 to read as follows: 
 
 (b) (1) In the event a mine or group 
 of mines were not in .operation during 
 all or part of the base period, or in the 
 event all or a portion of a mine or group 
 of mines’ production as presently pro¬ 
 duced has been affected by unusual cir¬ 
 cumstances or is of a special or en¬ 
 hanced quality due to the installation 
 of preparation or other facilities during 
 or since the base period, such producer 
 may file an application seeking the es¬ 
 tablishment of ceiling prices and a ceil¬ 
 ing weighted average realization that 
 are fair and equitable. 
 
 (2) The producer shall prepare its ap¬ 
 plication in accordance with the provi¬ 
 sions of pertinent provisions of Price 
 Procedural Regulation 1 issued by the 
 Economic Stabilization Agency, effective 
 December 18, 1950 (15 F. R. 9055), in¬ 
 cluding the requirement that the peti¬ 
 tion be filed in duplicate, and with the 
 pertinent provisions of this regulation. 
 
81 Trans 31:6 
 
 In addition to other reauired informa¬ 
 tion, the producer shall state the name 
 of the mine or mines for which the ap¬ 
 plication is filed, the name or number of 
 the seam in which the mine is operat¬ 
 ing, the county and the state in which 
 the mine or mines are located, the type 
 of operation (whether underground or 
 strip), a detailed description of the man¬ 
 ner, if any, in which the coal is pre¬ 
 pared, cleaned or treated, and the pres¬ 
 ent ceiling prices and ceiling weighted 
 average realization, if any, for said mine 
 or mines. In addition, the producer 
 shall state the same information for the 
 nearest mine or mines in the same seam 
 producing coal with the same or' similar 
 mining methods, with the same or sim¬ 
 ilar preparation and cleaning facilities, 
 and the applicable ceiling prices for such 
 mine. If there was no such mine or 
 mines in the same seam, the producer 
 shall furnish the same comparative in¬ 
 formation for the nearest mine having 
 substantially similar mining methods 
 and preparation facilities in a substan¬ 
 tially similar seam. 
 
 The Director may request any other 
 information deemed necessary by him to 
 a fair and reasonable determination of 
 the issues raised in the application. 
 
 (3) For 60 days after filing the appli¬ 
 cation, such coals of the applicant shall 
 be sold at temporary ceiling prices no 
 higher than the ceiling prices established 
 under this regulation for the coals which 
 
 are produced at the nearest mine or 
 mines in the same seam or in a sub¬ 
 stantially similar seam and similarly 
 processed. After 60 days from the filing 
 of this application, if no action has been 
 taken by the Director, the prices as re¬ 
 quested in the application shall be the 
 ceiling prices for such coals. The filing 
 date herein shall be the date on which 
 the application is received by the Direc¬ 
 tor in the principal office of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization, Washington, D. C. 
 
 (4) The Director may at any time re¬ 
 view and revise ceiling prices or ceiling 
 weighted average realizations proposed 
 or established under this section if they 
 appear to be inconsistent with the pro¬ 
 visions of this regulation. 
 
 11. Section 6 (g) is hereby amended to 
 read as follows: 
 
 (g) Where coal is delivered from a 
 mine or preparation plant in any trans¬ 
 portation facilities owned or subject to 
 the control of the producer or distributor 
 or subsidiary or affiliate of the producer 
 or distributor, or in any transportation 
 facilities hired by the producer or dis¬ 
 tributor, there may be added to the ap¬ 
 plicable ceiling prices established herein 
 a sum not in excess of the actual trans¬ 
 portation costs incurred by such pro¬ 
 ducer or distributor, or subsidiary or affil¬ 
 iate thereof, determined in a reasonable 
 manner, but in no event to exceed the 
 lowest common carrier rate, if any, for a 
 
 haul between the same points: Provided, 
 That there may also be added by a pro¬ 
 ducer or distributor, to the applicable 
 maximum price established herein, an 
 amount not in excess of the transporta¬ 
 tion tax imposed by section 620 of the 
 Revenue Act of 1942 if said producer in¬ 
 curred such tax and if he separately 
 states the amount of the tax in sales to 
 all purchasers except the United States 
 or any agency thereof, the District of 
 Columbia, any state government or any 
 political subdivision thereof. 
 
 12. Section 9 (d) is hereby amended 
 to read as follows: 
 
 (d) Each producer shall report 
 monthly the monthly realization to the 
 Director on forms provided by him and 
 in accordance with his instructions on 
 or before the last day of the month fol¬ 
 lowing the month for which the report 
 is being filed. 
 
 Effective date. The above amend¬ 
 ments shall be retroactive and shall be¬ 
 come effective as of February 1, 1951. 
 
 Note. The record-keeping and reporting 
 requirements of this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion have been approved by the Bureau of

 MISCELLANEOUS AMENDMENTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161 and Economic Stabilization Agen¬ 
 cy General Order No. 2, this Amendment 
 2 to Ceiling Price Regulation 3 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 3 provides certain adjustments in 
 ceiling prices and ceiling weighted aver¬ 
 age realization on all coal, except Penn¬ 
 sylvania anthracite, delivered from 
 mines or preparation plants; revises the 
 provision with respect to charges for 
 transportation of coal in facilities owned 
 or controlled by the producer; provides 
 a certification procedure implementing 
 Section 411 of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended; and makes cer¬ 
 tain changes in the reporting and record¬ 
 keeping provisions of the regulation. 
 
 On or about the first of October 1952 
 the United Mine Workers of America 
 and representatives of various segments 
 of the bituminous coal producing indus¬ 
 try agreed upon a new contract contain¬ 
 ing increases in rates and in payments 
 to the Welfare and Retirement Fund. 
 The Progressive Mine Workers Union 
 also entered into an agreement with an¬ 
 other segment of producers on a similar 
 contract. These contracts cover about 
 80 percent of the National production 
 of bituminous coal and provide for an 
 increase in the daily basic pay of $1.90 
 and of 10 cents per ton in the operator 
 payments to the Welfare and Retirement 
 Fund. 
 
 Several of the operator groups there¬ 
 after submitted the new contracts to 
 the Wage Stabilization Board for con¬ 
 sideration and action. On October 18, 
 1952, the Board approved an increase 
 of $1.50 a day (instead of the $1.90 re¬ 
 quested) for miners employed by the 
 member companies of the Bituminous 
 Coal Operators Association. In its opin¬ 
 ion the Board stated that specific ap¬ 
 proval of the royalty payment is not 
 required. On October 22,1952, the Board 
 authorized an extension of the $1.50 in¬ 
 crease to other employees who were not 
 covered by the specific wage agreement 
 submitted to the Board, but who in the 
 past had customarily received wage in¬ 
 creases similar to the increases granted 
 to employees covered by the National 
 Bituminous Wage Agreement. The au¬ 
 
 thorized wage increases were approved 
 to become effective on October 1, 1952. 
 
 The Bituminous Coal Operators As¬ 
 sociation and the United Mine Workers 
 of America have filed a request for re¬ 
 view with the Administrator of the Eco¬ 
 nomic Stabilization Agency, specifically 
 asking that the additional 40-cent in¬ 
 crease in the basic daily pay be approved. 
 This request for review is now being 
 considered by the Administrator. 
 
 It appears, as a result of the wage rate 
 adjustment of $1.50 per day and the 
 increase in the Welfare Fund payments 
 of 10 cents per ton, that an industry¬ 
 wide weighted average cost increase of 
 approximately 33-35 cents per net ton 
 will be incurred by the mine operators. 
 If the full increase of $1.90 per day is 
 approved, the industry-wide weighted 
 average cost increase will be approxi¬ 
 mately 39-42 cents per net ton. These 
 cost increases will, of course, vary widely 
 from mine to mine. 
 
 Despite the present softness in the 
 general price level of bituminous coal 
 sold at the mines there are various mines 
 whose prices on certain sizes and grades 
 of coal are at or near ceilings and whose 
 current weighted average realizations 
 are near their ceiling weighted average 
 realizations. Data available to the 
 Agency indicate that in the year 1951 
 this industry was actually earning about 
 18 V 2 cents less than the minimum earn¬ 
 ings permitted by the Industry Earnings 
 Standard. To the extent that selling 
 prices on most sizes and grades are low 
 and that selling prices on some sizes and 
 grades are at or near ceilings, the indus¬ 
 try will be unable under existing condi¬ 
 tions to earn the minimum under the 
 Earnings Standard unless some adjust¬ 
 ments are made to take care of the wage 
 increases referred to above. 
 
 By this amendment ceiling prices may 
 be increased by the actual per net ton 
 amount of increased costs incurred. 
 The ceiling weighted average realization 
 control is retained at present levels ex¬ 
 cept that a limited adjustment is per¬ 
 mitted to any mine which is now at or 
 near the ceiling weighted average reali¬ 
 zation, and which mine could not in¬ 
 crease its ceiling prices without piercing 
 its ceiling weighted average realization 
 established under the regulation. Pro¬ 
 ducers may calculate such cost increases 
 on a new form provided by OPS (which 
 is substantially similar to Solid Fuels 
 Form No. 2 used for a somewhat similar 
 purpose in 1951) and such cost increases 
 so calculated should be added to the cu¬ 
 mulative average realization for the 12- 
 month pferiod ending September 30. 1952. 
 If the sum of such cost increases and 
 the cumulative weighted average realiza¬ 
 tion exceeds the present ceiling weighted 
 average realization, such sum will consti¬ 
 tute the new ceiling weighted average 
 realization for that particular mine. (If 
 this computation yields an amount less 
 
 than the present ceiling weighted aver 
 age realization no adjustment is per¬ 
 mitted in the ceiling weighted average 
 realization.) The allowable adjustment 
 in the ceiling weighted average realiza¬ 
 tion as provided by the regulation, how¬ 
 ever, must be apportioned so that only 
 10 percent of the increase may be added 
 in the first month and 10 percent addi¬ 
 tional may be added in each successive 
 month until the full amount of the ad¬ 
 justment has been added. Such appor¬ 
 tionment applies to the ceiling weighted 
 average realization only and, except as 
 limited by the ceiling weighted average 
 realization, a producer may add the full 
 amount of the authorized wage increase 
 to his ceiling prices. 
 
 The new ceiling prices and ceiling 
 weighted average realization provided by 
 this amendment may be put into effect 
 as of the date the authorized increased 
 costs become effective, except that as to 
 sales to retail dealers, the effective date 
 of ceiling prices shall be November 14, 
 1952. 
 
 It is believed that the adjustments 
 provided by this amendment will not 
 result in any substantial increase in 
 industry-wide price levels but will per¬ 
 mit individual producers to obtain any 
 relief to which they are entitled, with¬ 
 out imposing a heavy administrative bur¬ 
 den on this office. 
 
 This amendment also implements sec¬ 
 tion 411 of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended, by providing for 
 a certification procedure adapted to re¬ 
 alization and ceiling price controls which 
 are provided by this regulation. Section 
 411 of the Defense Production Act of 
 1950, as amended, provides that no per¬ 
 son shall be required to furnish any 
 reports or other information with re¬ 
 spect to sales of materials or services at 
 prices which are below ceiling, if such 
 person certifies to the President that 
 such sales are made at such prices. Be¬ 
 cause CPR 3 has a ceiling weighted 
 average realization control in addition 
 to ceiling price control, a producer to 
 be exempt from the filing requirements 
 of section 9 (d), must certify that he is 
 selling all of his coal below ceiling prices 
 and that the cumulative weighted av¬ 
 erage realization is below the established 
 ceiling weighted average realization for 
 his mine or mines. A producer after 
 so certifying must file OPS Public Form 
 No. 1 for any month or months in which 
 he sells any size or grade of coal at ceil¬ 
 ing prices, or for any month or months 
 in which the cumulative weighted av¬ 
 erage realization equals the established 
 ceiling weighted average realization for 
 his mine or mines. This certification 
 procedure does not apply to reports re¬ 
 quired in connection with the establish¬ 
 ment or adjustment of ceiling prices or 
 ceiling weighted average realization. 
 
 Section 6 (g) is amended to permit a 
 producer who owns, controls, or hires 
 
81 Trans 31:8 
 
 transportation facilities to add to his ap¬ 
 plicable celling prices, f. o. b. mine, a sum 
 not in excess of the highest charge for 
 transportation costs between the same 
 points made during the base period or 
 the period January 1-15, 1951, inclusive. 
 This provision was originally contained 
 in the regulation but was subsequently 
 deleted by Amendment 1 to CPR 3 when 
 provision was made to allow the producer 
 who owns his transportation facilities 
 to add his actual transportation costs to 
 his f. o. b, mine ceiling prices. Since 
 then, the agency has been advised that 
 many producers who own or control 
 transportation facilities are unable to 
 ascertain their actual transportation 
 costs. Those producers use transporta¬ 
 tion facilities for other purposes, and 
 cannot properly allocate costs to the de¬ 
 livery of coal. During the base period it 
 was customary for them to make a uni¬ 
 form charge for such delivery. Accord¬ 
 ingly, this amendment makes available 
 both methods. The other provisions of 
 section 6 (g), including the provision 
 that the amount shall not exceed the 
 lowest carrier rate, are retained. 
 
 In section 6 (i) a correction is made 
 by substituting the word “and” for the 
 word “or" in connection with ceiling 
 prices and ceiling weighted average real¬ 
 ization. This was a clerical error in the 
 original draft. A new provision is in¬ 
 cluded requiring notification, by a new 
 owner, of any change in ownership of a 
 mine, and requiring the transferor to 
 preserve or turn over to the transferee all 
 records of transaction prior to the trans¬ 
 fer which are necessary to enable the 
 transferee to comply with the record 
 provisions of the regulation. 
 
 Section 9 (a) is amended to provide 
 for the reporting by producers (other 
 than “small mine" producers) of in¬ 
 creased costs and the increase author¬ 
 ized in the ceiling weighted average re¬ 
 alization on OPS Public Form No. 155, 
 which must be filed within 20 days after 
 the increased costs become effective or 
 within 20 days after the date of issuance 
 of this amendment whichever is later. 
 
 A new sentence is added to section 9 
 (d) which provides that ceiling prices 
 determined under section 4 (d) (2) of 
 this amendment shall not be required to 
 be filed. 
 
 This amendment, however, relieves 
 “small mine” producers of the require¬ 
 ment that they file OPS Public Form No. 
 155 and a revised schedule of ceiling 
 prices under the provisions of section 4 
 (d) and section 9 (a) and (c), as amend¬ 
 ed. Under section 2 (m), as amended, a 
 mine (or group of mines referred to in 
 section 4 (g)) is a “small mine” for any 
 calendar year if, during the preceding 
 calendar year, its entire production aver¬ 
 aged 100 net tons or less of coal per day 
 of operation, regardless of method of 
 shipment. It is believed that the “small 
 mine” producers should not be required 
 to file these reports because of the ad¬ 
 ministrative burden such filings would 
 impose on OPS and the “small mine” 
 producers; and because of the general 
 agency policy to relieve small business of 
 filing to the extent possible. If a “small 
 mine” producer wishes to claim an ad¬ 
 
 justment in ceiling prices and ceiling 
 weighted average realization, however, 
 he shall determine the amount of adjust¬ 
 ment by use of OPS Public Form No. 155 
 and keep it on file with other records re¬ 
 quired by section 9 to be retained by the 
 producer. 
 
 Section 9 (f) is amended to require the 
 producers to prepare and keep available, 
 for a period of two years, records of the 
 kind they customarily keep showing the 
 prices charged for the coal. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the provisions of this 
 amendment are generally fair and equi¬ 
 table and are necessary to effectuate the 
 purposes of Title IV of the Defense Pro¬ 
 duction Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 So far as practicable the Director of 
 Price Stabilization gave due considera¬ 
 tion to the national effort to achieve 
 maximum production in furtherance of 
 the objectives of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, and to relevant 
 factors of general applicability. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus-' 
 try representatives, including trade asso¬ 
 ciation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 3, as 
 amended, is further amended as follows: 
 
 1. Section 2 is amended by adding a 
 new paragraph (m) as follows: 
 
 (m) A mine (or group of mines re¬ 
 ferred to in section 4 (g)) is a “small 
 mine” for any calendar year if during 
 the preceding calendar year its entire 
 production averaged 100 net tons or less 
 of coal per day of operation, regardless 
 of method of shipment. 
 
 2. Section 4 (d) is amended by redes¬ 
 ignating that section as 4 (d) (1) and 
 adding two new subparagraphs as fol¬ 
 lows: 
 
 (2) Each producer who incurs in¬ 
 creases in costs at his mine or group of 
 mines during the period October 1, 1952 
 to April 30, 1953, inclusive, by reason of 
 a wage and salary advance and other 
 items related to the payroll and welfare 
 payments (as calculated by such pro¬ 
 ducer on OPS Public Form No. 155) 
 which satisfy the policy and require¬ 
 ments of the Wage Stabilization Board 
 of the Economic Stabilization Agency, 
 may determine his ceiling prices and 
 ceiling weighted average realization for 
 such mine or group of mines as follows: 
 
 (i) Ceiling prices. Add to the indi¬ 
 vidual ceiling prices established by other 
 provisions of this regulation for each size 
 and grade of coal the amount of such 
 increased costs. 
 
 (ii) Ceiling weighted average realiza¬ 
 tion. Add to the cumulative weighted 
 average realization for the 12-month 
 period ending September 30, 1952 (as 
 shown on OPS Public Form No. 1 for 
 September 1952), the amount of such in¬ 
 creased costs: Provided, however, That 
 the allowable adjustment in the ceiling 
 weighted average realization provided in 
 this subparagraph (i. e., the difference 
 between the previously established ceil¬ 
 
 ing weighted average realization and 
 the cumulative weighted average realiza¬ 
 tion as adjusted for the increased costs) 
 must be apportioned so that 10 percent 
 of the increase in the ceiling weighted 
 average realization may be added in the 
 first month, and an additional 10 per¬ 
 cent in each succeeding month until the 
 full amount of the allowable adjustment 
 has been made. Where the cumulative 
 weighted average realization, as adjusted 
 for the increased costs, is equal to or less 
 than the ceiling weighted average reali¬ 
 zation otherwise established by this reg¬ 
 ulation, the previously established ceil¬ 
 ing weighted average realization will 
 continue in effect. 
 
 Example. A mine incurs increases of 40 
 cents per net ton from wage and salary ad¬ 
 vances and other items related to the pay¬ 
 roll and welfare payments as of October 1, 
 1952, which satisfy the policy and require¬ 
 ments of the Wage Stabilization Board. 
 This producer’s celling weighted average 
 realization is $5.06 per net ton, but his 12- 
 month cumulative realization as shown on 
 OPS Public Form No. 1 for the 12-month 
 period ending September 30, 1952, is $4.75. 
 The addition of the 40 cents increase to the 
 cumulative weighted average realization of 
 $4.75 results in a target realization of $5.15, 
 Subtracting $5.00 (the previously established 
 ceiling weighted average realization) from 
 $5.15, leaves 15 cents which is the author¬ 
 ized increase in the ceiling weighted average 
 realization. He can add 10 percent of the 
 15-cent Increase in ceiling weighted average 
 realization in October 1952, 20 percent of 
 the increase in November 1952, etc., until 
 the total of 15 cents per net ton is reached. 
 Thus, he may not exceed $5.0150 in October; 
 $5.0300 in November, etc. (If his mine's 
 cost increase is 25 cents or less per ton, his 
 ceiling weighted average realization, under 
 the above facts, would remain at $5.00 per 
 net ton.) 
 
 OPS Public Form No. 155 showing the 
 increased costs and the increase author¬ 
 ized in the ceiling weighted average reali¬ 
 zation shall be filed by producers, other 
 than “small mine” producers, as defined 
 in section 2 (m), in accordance with the 
 provisions of section 9 (a) (2) of this 
 regulation. 
 
 The new ceiling prices and ceiling 
 weighted average realization provided in 
 this subparagraph may be put into effect 
 as of the date the authorized increased 
 costs become effective, except that as to 
 sales to retail coal dealers, the effective 
 date of ceiling prices shall be November 
 14, 1952. 
 
 (3) A producer who operates a prepa¬ 
 ration plant, a ramp or other loading 
 facility, and who by usual custom ob¬ 
 tains all or part of his coal from another 
 producer or producers, shall determine 
 his increased costs under subparagraph 
 2 of this section by calculating the 
 weighted average increased cost of his 
 own coal and purchased coal which re¬ 
 sults from the cost increases referred to 
 in subparagraph 2. 
 
 3. Section 6 (g) is amended to read as 
 follows: 
 
 (g) Where bituminous coal is delivered 
 from a mine or preparation plant in any 
 transportation facilities owned or sub¬ 
 ject to the control of the producer or 
 subsidiary or affiliate of the producer, or 
 in any transportation facilities hired by 
 
81 Trans 31:9 
 
 the producer, there may be added to the 
 applicable ceiling price established 
 herein, a sum not in excess of (1) the 
 highest charge, for transportation costs 
 between the same points made during 
 the base period or the period January 
 1-15, 1951, inclusive, or (2) the actual 
 transportation costs incurred by such 
 producer or distributor, or subsidiary or 
 affiliate thereof, determined in a reason¬ 
 able manner; .but in no event shall such 
 highest charge or actual transportation 
 costs exceed the lowest common carrier 
 rate, if any, for a haul between the same 
 points: Provided. That there may also 
 be added by a producer or distributor, an 
 amount not in excess of the transporta¬ 
 tion tax imposed by section 620 of the 
 Revenue Act of 1942, if said producer 
 incurred such tax and if he separately 
 states the amount of the tax in sales to 
 all purchasers except the United States 
 or any agency thereof, the District of 
 Columbia, any state government or any 
 political subdivision thereof. 
 
 4. Section 6 (i) is amended to read as 
 follows: 
 
 (1) Any purchaser, lessee or transferee 
 of a mine for which ceiling prices and a 
 ceiling weighted average realization have 
 been established, shall take the ceiling 
 prices and ceiling weighted average 
 realization previously assigned to the 
 mine or other seller, lessor or transferor 
 thereof. Immediately upon the trans¬ 
 fer of a mine the purchaser, lessee or 
 transferee shall notify in writing by reg¬ 
 istered mail, the Solid Fuels Branch, 
 Rubber, Chemicals, Drugs and Fuels 
 Division, Office of Price Stabilization, 
 Washington 25, D. C., stating the date of 
 such transfer and the name and address 
 of the purchaser, lessee or transferee. 
 The transferor shall either preserve and 
 make available, or turn over to the trans¬ 
 feree, all records of transactions prior to 
 the transfer which are necessary to en¬ 
 able the transferee to comply with the 
 record provisions of this regulation. 
 
 5. Section 9 (a) is amended by re¬ 
 designating paragraph (a) as (a) (1) 
 and adding a new subparagraph as 
 follows: 
 
 (2) OPS Public Form No. 155 showing 
 the increased costs and the increase in 
 the ceiling weighted average realization 
 authorized by section 4 (d) (2), shall be 
 filed by producers, other than “small 
 mine” producers, within 20 days after 
 the increased costs become effective, or 
 within 20 days after the issuance of this 
 amendment, whichever is later. TTiis 
 
 form shall be sent by registered mail, re¬ 
 turn receipt requested, to the Solid Fuels 
 Branch, Rubber, Chemicals, Drugs and 
 Fuels Division, Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Washington 25, D. C. Although a 
 “small mine” producer need not file OPS 
 Public Form No. 155, he must calculate 
 his adjustment under section 4 (d) (2) 
 on this form and keep it on file in accord¬ 
 ance with the provisions of section 9 (f) 
 of this regulation. Copies of OPS Pub¬ 
 lic Form No. 155 may be obtained by 
 writing to the Solid Fuels Branch, Rub¬ 
 ber, Chemicals, Drugs and Fuels Divi¬ 
 sion, Office of Price Stabilization, Wash¬ 
 ington 25, D. C. 
 
 6. Section 9 (c) is amended to read as 
 follows: 
 
 (c) Ceiling price schedules shall be 
 filed by the producer, sales agent or dis¬ 
 tributor with the Director and with the 
 regional office or offices of the Agency 
 in the area or areas where the producer’s 
 coal is shipped, within ten days after 
 the day such prices become effective. 
 Copies of such price schedules shall be 
 open for public inspection. All changes 
 in ceiling prices shall be similarly filed, 
 except that ceiling prices determined 
 under section 4 (d) (2) shall not be 
 filed. 
 
 7. Section 9 (d) is amended to read 
 as follows: 
 
 (d) Each producer shall report each 
 month the monthly realization to the 
 Director, on or before the last day of 
 the month following the month for which 
 the report is filed, on OPS Public Form 
 No. 1 and in accordance with instruc¬ 
 tions issued by the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization: Provided, That no producer 
 shall be required to file reports under 
 this paragraph if he files a certified 
 statement that he is now selling all of 
 his coal at prices below the ceiling prices 
 established' by this regulation and that 
 his cumulative weighted average realiza¬ 
 tion is now below the ceiling weighted 
 average realization established for his 
 mine or group of mines. If in any month 
 or months after such certification the 
 producer makes a sale of any size or 
 grade of coal at a price equal to the 
 ceiling price established for that size or 
 grade, or in any month or months in 
 which the cumulative weighted average 
 realization equals the ceiling weighted 
 average realization established for his 
 mine or group of mines, he must file the 
 report required by this paragraph for 
 such month or months. Certification 
 must be in the following form:

 TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 3 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 3. is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Amendment 2 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 3 was issued on November 14, 1952. 
 That amendment provided for certain 
 adjustments in ceiling prices resulting 
 from wage and salary advances, and 
 made other changes in Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 3. It has been found that 
 certain corrections and clarifications 
 should be made in Amendment 2. 
 
 Section 4 <d> <2» authorizes increases 
 in ceiling prices and ceiling weighted 
 average realization by reason of certain 
 cost increases/‘which satisfy the policy 
 and requirements of the Wage Stabiliza¬ 
 tion Board of the Economic Stabilization 
 Agency". At the time this amendment 
 was issued it was contemplated that any 
 wage and salary advances would be au¬ 
 thorized by the Wage Stabilization 
 Board. On October 18, 1952, the Wage 
 Stabilization Board approved an increase 
 of only $1.50 per day instead of the 
 $1.90 negotiated by the Bituminous Coal 
 Operators Association and the United 
 Mine Workers of America. This decision 
 was appealed. On December 3, 1952, the 
 President directed the Economic Stabi¬ 
 lization Agency to approve the $1.90 in¬ 
 crease. A technical question arises as 
 to whether the $1.90 increase satisfies 
 "the policy and requirements of the 
 Wage Stabilization Board of the Eco¬ 
 nomic Stabilization Agency”. In order 
 to clarify this point beyond any doubt 
 it is deemed advisable to amend this pro¬ 
 vision to permit adjustments resulting 
 from increased costs which satisfy the 
 policy and requirements of the Wage 
 
 Stabilization Board or any agency or 
 official authorized to review the Board's 
 decision. 
 
 Section 9 (a) (2) provides that pro¬ 
 ducers must file OPS Public Form No. 155 
 "within 20 days after the increased costs 
 become effective, or within 20 days after 
 the issuance of this amendment, which¬ 
 ever is later”. There was some delay in 
 issuing this form. It has been found 
 also that certain producers have en¬ 
 countered difficulties in completing and 
 returning the forms within the required 
 time. Moreover, when the amendment 
 was issued it was thought that the final 
 decision with respect to the wage in¬ 
 crease for bituminous coal miners would 
 be made immediately. The final deci¬ 
 sion by the President, however, was not 
 made until December 3, 1952. In view 
 of these considerations it is deemed ad¬ 
 visable to extend the time for filing this 
 form. A small number of producers 
 have already filed OPS Public Form 
 No. 155 based on a wage increase of 
 $1.50 per day. Those producers may 
 now refile on the same form for the full 
 wage increase of $1.90. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the provisions of this 
 amendment are generally fair and equi¬ 
 table and are necessary to effectuate the 
 purposes of Title IV of the Defense Pro¬ 
 duction Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 So far as practicable the Director of 
 Price Stabilization gave due considera¬ 
 tion to the national effort to achieve 
 maximum production in furtherance of 
 the objectives of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, and to relevant 
 factors of general applicability. 
 
 In view of the nature of these amend¬ 
 ments consultation with industry repre¬ 
 sentatives, including trade association 
 representatives, has been impracticable. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 3. as amend¬ 
 ed, is further amended as follows: 
 
 1. Section 4 <d> (2) is amended by in¬ 
 serting after “Economic Stabilization 
 Agency” the words—"or any agency or 
 official authorized to review the action 
 of such Board”, so that the first sentence 
 in the sub-paragraph will read as fol¬ 
 lows: 
 
 (2) Each producer who incurs in¬ 
 creases in costs at his mine or group of 
 
 mines during the period October 1, 1952, 
 to April 30, 1953, inclusive, by reason 
 of a wage and salary advance and other 
 items related to the payroll and welfare 
 payments (as calculated by such pro¬ 
 ducer on OPS Public Form No. 155), 
 which satisfy the policy and require¬ 
 ments of the Wage Stabilization Board 
 of the Economic Stabilization Agency, 
 or any agency or official authorized to 
 review the action of such Board, may de¬ 
 termine his ceiling prices and ceiling 
 weighted average realization for such 
 mine or group of mines as follows: 
 
 • * * * * 
 
 2. Section 9 (a) (2) is amended to read 
 as follows: 
 
 <2) OPS Public Form No. 155 showing 
 the increased costs and the increase in 
 the ceiling weighted average realization 
 authorized by section 4 (d> (2), shall be 
 filed by producers other than “small 
 mine" producers, within 30 days after 
 the increased costs become effective, or 
 on or before December 31, 1952, which¬ 
 ever is later. This form shall be sent by 
 registered mail, return receipt requested, 
 to the Solid Fuels Branch, Rubber, 
 Chemicals, Drugs and Fuels Division, 
 Office of Price Stabilization, Washington 
 25, D. C. Although a "sipall mine" pro¬ 
 ducer need not file OPS Public Form 
 No. 155, he must calculate his adjust¬ 
 ment under section 4 (d> (2) on this 
 form and keep it on file in accordance 
 with the provisions of section 9 (f> of 
 this regulation. Copies of OPS Public 
 Form No. 155 may be obtained by writ¬ 
 ing to the Solid Fuels Branch, Rubber, 
 Chemicals, Drugs and Fuels Division, 
 Office of Price Stabilization, Washington 
 25. D. C.

 Note: The record-keeping and reporting 
 requirements of this amendment have been 
 approved by the Bureau of the Budget in 
 accordance with the Federal Reports Act of 
 
 1942. 
 
 Effective date. This amendment 3 to 
 CPR 3 shall become effective as of Octo¬ 
 ber 1, 1952, except that as to sales to 
 retail coal dealers the effective date of 
 ceiling prices shall be November 14, 1952.

 DELIVERIES BY CONTRACT CARRIER 
 Constitute "hiring” 
 
 A coal producer engages the services of a contract carrier to truck coal from the 
 mine to the customer. Increased transportation costs permitted by OPS may be added to 
 the producer's ceiling price (if such increase does not cause the cost of transporta¬ 
 tion to exceed the lowest common carrier rate) since the transportation facilities 
 are "hired" by the producer within the meaning of section 6(g) of CPR 3.

 way, or other. Also to be included, at the option of the producer, is coal sold under long-term contracts as 
 defined in the regulation (contracts running three (3) years or more and executed prior to July 1, 1948). 
 
 Railroad weights shall be reported for all coal passing over railroad scales and gagers’ weights for all 
 coal loaded at the mine into river craft. All other coal shall be reported at accurate weights. 
 
 LONG-TERM CONTRACT TONNAGE EXCLUDED:

 SIZE GROUP 04. 
 SIZE GROUP 05. 
 
 CUMULATIVE SALES: 
 
 Stoker coal. 
 
 Mine run, modified mine run, domestic mine run, screened and altered mine run, 
 
 and minus resultant with top size over 2 inches. 
 
 All minus resultant with top size over 3/4 inches but not exceeding 2 inches. 
 
 All minus resultant with top size not exceeding 3/4 inch. 
 
 Beginning with the month of February, 1951, tonnages and total dollars should be cumulated and per ton reali¬ 
 zation computed until a twelve-month period is covered (ending January 31, 1952). Thereafter, there shall appear 
 in the cumulative columns figures for the most recent twelve months of which the current month reported shall be 
 one.

 per-ton figure shown on Solid Fuels Form No. 1-E or No. 1-W, Psrt A, Line 99, or Solid Fuels Form No. 2, Line 
 12, whichever is governing. If for some reason, neither one governs the realization base allowable, the 
 authority for such realization base allowable should be stated on each monthy report. If realization base 
 allowable is changed, the more recent realization base allowable should be shown together with explanation of 
 change.

 Submit original on/y. Detach instructions before submitting. 
 
 81 Trans 31:9909 
 
 Sec. 4(d)(2) of CPR 3, as amended, provides for an adjust¬ 
 ment in ceiling prices for all mines or groups of mines and an ad¬ 
 justment in ceiling weighted average realization (Realization Base 
 Allowable) for certain mines or groups of mines which incurred 
 cost increases as a result of increased wage and salary costs, 
 related payroll costs and welfare and retirement fund payments, 
 which increases became effective subsequent to September 30, 
 1952, and prior to May 1, 1953, and which increases satisfy the 
 policy and requirements of the Wage Stabilization Board of the 
 Economic Stabilization Agency. The adjustments should be calcu¬ 
 lated on OPS Public Form No. 155 (11-52), The total per ton in¬ 
 crease calculated in Item 12 is the amount by which you may in¬ 
 crease your ceiling prices. The amount, if any, obtained in Item 16 
 is the amount you may add to your ‘Realization Base Allowable;" 
 this adjustment may be applied only on the graduated basis pro¬ 
 vided in Item 17. 
 
 WHO SHALL PREPARE REPORTS: 
 
 All producers of coal (except Pennsylvania anthracite) who 
 wish to claim an adjustment in their ceiling prices and "Realiza¬ 
 tion Base Allowable" by reason of increases incurred in accord¬ 
 ance with Section 4(d)(2) of CPR 3, as amended should prepare OPS 
 Public Form No. 155(11-52). A report should be prepared for each 
 mine or group of mines for which a "Realization Base Allowable" 
 and ceiling prices have been established. 
 
 WHO SHALL FILE REPORTS: 
 
 Reports shall be filed by all producers of coal (except Penn¬ 
 sylvania anthracite) for each mine or group of mines which produced 
 in excess-of 100 tons of coal per day of operation during the cal¬ 
 endar year 1951, and who wish to claim an adjustment in accord¬ 
 ance with Section 4(d)(2) of CPR 3, as amended. This form should 
 be filed by registered mail, return receipt requested, with the Solid 
 Fuels Branch; Rubber, Chemicals, Drugs and Fuels Division; 
 Office of Price Stabilization, Washington 25, D. C., within 20 days 
 of the issuance date of Amendment 2 to CPR 3, or within 20 days 
 after the increases become effective, whichever date is later. 
 
 If operators of mines which produced 100 tons or less of coal 
 per day of operation during the calendar year 1951 wish to claim an 
 adjustment in their ceiling prices and ceiling weighted average real¬ 
 ization as a result of increased wage and salary costs, related pay¬ 
 roll costs and welfare and retirement fund payments occasioned by 
 increases which became effective subsequent to September 30, 
 1952, and prior to May 1, 1953, and which increases satisfy the 
 policy and requirements of the Wage Stabilization Board of the 
 Economic Stabilization Agency, they should calculate the adjust¬ 
 ment on OPS Public Form No. 155 (11-52) but need not file the form 
 with the Office of Price Stabilization. It should be retained in the 
 producer’s files in accordance with the record-keeping requirements 
 of the regulation. 
 
 MOST RECENT REPRESENTATIVE PAYROLL PERIOD (ITEM 5): 
 
 The producer shall select the most recent representative pay¬ 
 roll period subsequent to September 30, 1951 and prior to October 1, 
 
 1952. For purposes of this report, a representative payroll period 
 means a period of at least two consecutive weeks of normal opera¬ 
 tions. 
 
 PRODUCTION (ITEM 6): 
 
 Report all coal for use or for sale which was produced at the 
 mine or group of mines covered by this report during the representa¬ 
 tive payroll period selected. 
 
 PAID TO MINE WORKERS (ITEM 7A): 
 
 Include amounts paid to all mine workers paid on a daily or

 Anthracite Delivered From Mine or 
 Preparation Plant 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong ), 
 Executive Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), 
 and Economic Stabilization Agency Gen¬ 
 eral Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738); It is 
 hereby ordered, That ceiling prices on 
 the sale of anthracite from a mine or 
 preparation plant shall be effective as 
 provided in this Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 4. 
 
 Statement of Considerations 
 
 The level of prices on anthracite has 
 not changed basically since the start of 
 the Korean conflict. Faced with inten¬ 
 sive competition of oil, natural gas, and 
 bituminous coal, the anthracite industry 
 has not been able to realize market ex¬ 
 pansion with the growth of defense ac¬ 
 tivity and, as a matter of fact, is 
 operating on a narrow financial margin. 
 Moreover, it appears that anthracite 
 mining capacity is well above require¬ 
 ments of the prospective market. 
 
 Available information, covering over 
 two-thirds of the anthracite industry, 
 shows that net income before taxes was 
 about 15 cents per ton in 1950, and as low 
 as 5 cents per ton in November of that 
 year. This income was only 1 to 2 per¬ 
 cent of the average mine price. 
 
 The larger sizes are distributed almost 
 exclusively for home heating. Although 
 a substantial portion of the steam sizes 
 is sold to industrial consumers, primari¬ 
 ly for steam generation purposes, the 
 major portion of the small sizes is con¬ 
 sumed in domestic and commercial heat¬ 
 ing. All together, about 75 percent of 
 the commercial anthracite production 
 moves for space heating purposes. Sub¬ 
 stitutes for solid fuels cannot be made 
 without equipment changes. 
 
 The New England States, New York, 
 New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Penn¬ 
 sylvania. and the District of Columbia 
 make up the industry's primary market¬ 
 ing area, and this area consumes about 80 
 percent of the anthracite shipped to 
 market. As of July 1, 1948, the Census 
 Bureau estimated that almost one-third 
 of the nation's population lived in this 
 marketing area. These facts demon¬ 
 strate the vital importance of the an¬ 
 thracite industry as an important source 
 of fuel for a large segment of the nation's 
 population. The need to increase its 
 production during the defense period, is 
 underscored further by the fact that of 
 all the fuels commonly used for space 
 heating in this principal market area, 
 the consumption of anthracite accounted 
 for 40 percent of the total of all fuels 
 consumed. 
 
 Anthracite during World War II. and 
 the need for increased "production dur¬ 
 ing the present defense period. The 
 anthracite industry made a substantial 
 contribution to the heavy demands for 
 fuel during World War II. For the five 
 years ending December 31, 1946, the total 
 anthracite production averaged more 
 than 60 million tons per year. Because 
 of the large military demands for fuel 
 oil, the great industrial needs for bi¬ 
 tuminous coal and metallurgical coke, 
 and the shifts in population, many con¬ 
 sumers formerly using these war-drafted 
 fuels, had to use anthracite to take care 
 of their fuel needs. 
 
 The strategic importance of anthra¬ 
 cite in time of national emergency, can¬ 
 not, therefore, be overestimated. 
 
 Upon the basis of these facts and cir¬ 
 cumstances, and giving consideration to 
 the national effort to achieve maximum 
 production in furtherance of the objec¬ 
 tives of the Defense Production .Act of 
 1950, it is readily apparent that anthra¬ 
 cite production must expand to meet the 
 present defense demands. 
 
 The present position of the anthracite 
 industry. Preliminary figures show that 
 the total production for 1950 will approx¬ 
 imate 42 million tons, or 30 percent less 
 than the average yearly production dur¬ 
 ing the period of World War II. 
 
 The industry's price pattern since 
 April 1950. On March 16, 1950, the an¬ 
 thracite industry signed a wage contract, 
 calling for increased wages, with repre¬ 
 sentatives of the United Mine Workers 
 of America. Anthracite prices are cus¬ 
 tomarily reflected in published circular 
 prices issued by the major operators, and 
 in April of 1950, the operators published 
 their circular prices which took into ac¬ 
 count the March wage contract. Since 
 April 1950, however, basic material and 
 supply costs have steadily risen, while 
 the prices published in April 1950 pre¬ 
 vailed for sales made throughout that 
 year. 
 
 A study of the Industry’s supply cost 
 shows a weighted average increase of 
 13.4 percent. This is equivalent to 10.7 
 cents per net commercial ton of produc¬ 
 tion. Anthracite companies were no¬ 
 tified on January 1, 1951, by the Bureau 
 of Employment and Ucemployment 
 Compensation .of the State of Pennsyl¬ 
 vania that minimum unemployment 
 rates in effect under the merit rating sys¬ 
 tem were being increased. The maxi¬ 
 mum taxable wages increased from 
 $3,000 to $3,600 for Old Age Insurance. 
 The total social security increase cost is 
 9.2 cents per net ton. 
 
 On January 26, 1951, the Industry 
 signed a new wage contract with the 
 UMWA calling for a higher wage. Trans¬ 
 lated into production costs, this wage 
 increase with equalizing increases for 
 clerical and supervisory forces, adds 
 $0 696.per net ton to the industry’s cost 
 of producing anthracite. The industry’s 
 level of prices on January 1, 1951, and its 
 present financial condition does not per¬ 
 
 mit industry absorption of this increased 
 cost of production. The total of all of 
 the cost increases detailed is 89.5 cents. 
 
 Giving due consideration to the na¬ 
 tional effort to achieve maximum pro¬ 
 duction in furtherance of the objectives 
 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 it is thus apparent that the ceiling prices 
 for the industry must take into account 
 the increased supply costs which the in¬ 
 dustry has not passed along to its cus¬ 
 tomers. It is also apparent, for the same 
 reasons, that the period May 24, 1950, to 
 June 24, 1950, is not generally represen¬ 
 tative for this industry, and that the in¬ 
 dustry must be permitted to price its 
 anthracite on the basis of the circular 
 prices which it had in effect on January 
 1, 1951, supplemented by the aforesaid 
 increased costs. 
 
 Special services such as oil treatment, 
 truck loading at pockets, etc., shall be 
 continued and charges for such services 
 shall be made in the same amounts as 
 they have historically been in the past. 
 
 The regulation also establishes quality 
 standards for anthracite and specified 
 amounts by which ceiling prices must be 
 reduced for anthracite failing to meet 
 such standards. These stated differen¬ 
 tials are defined to reflect the loss in 
 value to the consumer by reason of the 
 higher ash content, and it is accordingly 
 necessary to decrease the ceiling prices 
 applicable to substandard anthracite to 
 preserve the relative values between 
 standard and poor quality anthracite. 
 
 With respect to customary marketing 
 of anthracite some companies have re¬ 
 ceived a premium for anthracite. Upon 
 filing proof with the Director, producers 
 may add such differential, not in excess 
 of 25 cents per net ton, to the ceiling 
 price applicable to such coals. 
 
 Findings of the Director of Price 
 Stabilization 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the provisions of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation No. 4 are gener¬ 
 ally fair and equitable and are necessary 
 to effectuate the purposes of Title IV of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950. 
 
 So far as practicable the Director of 
 Price Stabilization gave due considera¬ 
 tion to the national effort to achieve 
 maximum production in furtherance of 
 the objectives of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950; to prices prevailing during 
 the period from May 24, 1950, to June 24, 
 1950, inclusive; and to relevant factors 
 of general applicability. 
 
 In formulating this regulation the Di¬ 
 rector has consulted with representatives 
 of the industry to the extent practicable 
 under the circumstances, and has given 
 consideration to their recommendations.

 Sec. 3. Prohibition against selling or 
 delivering anthracite at prices above the 
 ceiling. On and after the 1st day of 
 February 1951, regardless of any con¬ 
 tract. agreement, lease, or other obliga¬ 
 tion: 
 
 <a) No person who is a producer or 
 distributor shall sell, dispose, deliver, or 
 ship anthracite from a mine at prices 
 higher, f. o. b. mine, than the ceiling 
 prices set forth in Appendix A, attached 
 hereto, and made a part hereof. 
 
 (b> No person shall, in the course of 
 trade or business, buy or receive anthra¬ 
 cite so delivered or shipped at prices 
 higher than the ceiling prices set forth 
 in Appendix A, attached hereto, and 
 made a part hereof. 
 
 <c> No person shall agree, offer, solicit, 
 or attempt to do anything prohibited 
 under this regulation 
 
 Sec. 4. Less than ceiling prices. Lower 
 prices than those set forth in this part 
 and Appendix A attached hereto may be 
 charged, demanded, paid, or offered 
 
 Sec. 5. Adjustment of prices. The Di¬ 
 rector may by order grant an adjust¬ 
 ment of the prices shown in Appendix A 
 when the producers, individually or col¬ 
 lectively, show to the satisfaction of the 
 Director that (a) the sale of the entire 
 production of the mine at ceiling prices 
 would not return a realization equal to 
 the representative cost of production; 
 and (b) such costs of production are of 
 a continuing nature; and <c) the pro¬ 
 duction of the mine is necessary to sup¬ 
 ply the fuel needs of the economy. The 
 adjustments to ceiling prices resulting 
 from such cost increases may be allo¬ 
 cated among the various sizes of anthra¬ 
 cite after consultation with the Anthra¬ 
 cite Industry Advisory Committee. 
 
 Sec. 6 Adjustable pricing. Any pier- 
 son may agree to sell at a price which 
 can be increased up to the ceiling price 
 in effect at the time of delivery; but no 
 person may. unless authorized by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, deliver or 
 agree to deliver at prices to be adjusted 
 upward in accordance with action taken 
 by the Director after delivery. Such 
 authorization may be given when a re¬ 
 quest for a change in the applicable 
 maximum price is pending, but only if 
 the authorization is necessary to pro¬ 
 mote distribution or production and if 
 it will not interfere with the purposes 
 of the Defense Production Act of 1950. 
 The authorization may be given by the 
 Director or by any official of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization to whom the au¬ 
 thority to grant such authorization has 
 been delegated. The authorization will 
 be given by order, except that it may be 
 given by letter or telegram when the 
 contemplated revision will be the grant¬ 
 ing of an individual application for 
 adjustment. 
 
 Sec. 7. Premium coals. Where a pro¬ 
 ducer historically has marketed anthra¬ 
 cite, graded as premium coals, and has 
 sold such coals at premium prices, such 
 producer may. for such premium coals 
 in the rice and larger sizes, and upon 
 filing evidence in support thereof with 
 the Director, add to the ceiling prices 
 established in this part a sum, not in 
 excess of 25 cents per net ton, equal to 
 the amount by which the price at which 
 such producer had theretofore marketed 
 and sold such premium coals in excess of 
 the standard prices. 
 
 Sec. 8 Special services. There may be 
 added to the applicable ceiling prices set 
 forth in this part the charges made for 
 any special services and pocket charges 
 including (specifically but not exclu¬ 
 sively) calcium chloride treatment, oil 
 treatment, specially prepared sizes, split 
 cars (containing more than one size), 
 partitions, box-car loading, truck load¬ 
 ing from pockets at the mines, bags and 
 bagging, and the making of local or re¬ 
 tail deliveries from the mine or adjunct 
 preparation plant: Provided, however, 
 
 That such charges shall not exceed the 
 charges made for the same service dur¬ 
 ing the month of January 1951 (or if no 
 such charges were made in January 
 1951, the nearest month prior thereto). 
 
 Sec. 9. Transportation. Where an¬ 
 thracite is delivered from a mine, ad¬ 
 junct preparation plant, to or from any 
 ground storage facility in any transpor¬ 
 tation facilities owned or subject to the 
 control of the producer or a distributor 
 or subsidiary or affiliate of the producer 
 or distributor, or in any transportation 
 facilities hired by the producer or dis¬ 
 tributor. there may be added to the ap¬ 
 plicable ceiling prices established herein 
 a sum not in excess of the actual trans¬ 
 portation costs incurred by such pro¬ 
 ducer or distributor, or subsidiary or 
 affiliate thereof, determined in a reason¬ 
 able manner, but in no event to exceed 
 the lowest common carrier rate, if any. 
 for a haul between the same points: 
 Provided, That there may also be added 
 by a producer, to the applicable maxi¬ 
 mum price established herein, an 
 amount not in excess of the transporta¬ 
 tion tax imposed by section 620 of the 
 Revenue Act of 1942 if said producer in¬ 
 curred such tax and if he separately 
 states the amount of the tax in sales to 
 all purchasers except the United States 
 or any agency thereof, the District of 
 Columbia, any state government or any 
 political subdivision thereof. 
 
 Sec. 10. Taxes. There may be added 
 to applicable celling prices the amount 
 of any sales, gross receipts, gross pro¬ 
 ceeds, or use tax levied by any statute 
 or ordinance, under which the tax is 
 measured by gross proceeds on units of 
 sale, only if the statute or ordinance 
 permits or requires the seller to state the 
 tax separately and the seller does state 
 it separately on his invoice or other 
 memorandum of sale, and only if the 
 seller customarily added the amount of 
 such tax to the ceiling price and sep¬ 
 arately stated the tax on his invoices in 
 the month of January 1951.

 to anthracite coal alone or in conjunc¬ 
 tion with any other commodity or by way 
 of commission, service, transportation or 
 other charge, or discount, premium or 
 other privilege, or by tie-in agreement 
 or other trade understanding, or by the 
 making of excessive charges for trucking 
 or otherwise. 
 
 Sec. 12. Records and reports, (a) 
 Each producer and distributor shall pre¬ 
 serve and keep available for inspection 
 by the Director for a period of two years

 [Celling Price Regulation 4, Amendment 1] 
 
 CPR 4—Anthracite Delivered From 
 Mine or Preparation Plant 
 
 MISCELLANEOUS AMENDMENTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Public Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 Executive Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), 
 and Economic Stabilization Agency Gen¬ 
 eral Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this 
 Amendment 1 to CPR 4 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Since Ceiling Price Regulation 4 be¬ 
 came effective on February 1, 1951, it 
 has been found desirable to amend the 
 regulation in recognition of two types of 
 transactions which were prevalent in the 
 industry prior to the establishment of 
 price controls. Approval of these pricing 
 practices does not involve substantial 
 relaxation of price control but does serve 
 to remove an obstacle to selling arrange¬ 
 ments which were followed in the past. 
 
 The first amendment recognizes a sit¬ 
 uation where a limited number of retail 
 coal dealers had been serving certain 
 customers with a high quality coal in 
 carload lots. Their prices generally 
 were above the mine prices but the cus¬ 
 tomers were willing to pay a higher price 
 for the service offered by the supplier, 
 The amendment recognizes this situa¬ 
 tion and authorizes these retail coal 
 dealers, only in respect to customers they 
 served in this manner during the cal¬ 
 endar year 1950, to continue such prac¬ 
 tice and to add the same mark-up 
 charged during that period. The 
 amendment does not authorize these 
 dealers to extend this service to new cus¬ 
 tomers nor does it permit dealers who 
 had not previously sold coal on this basis 
 to start doing so now. 
 
 The next amendment recognizes the 
 sales of premium and penalty contracts 
 which, when the coal exceeds a certain 
 quality, entitles the seller to premium 
 compensation. This amendment au¬ 
 thorizes the seller to demand and re¬ 
 ceive this additional compensation 
 which would otherwise result in a price 
 above the ceiling price established un¬ 
 
 der the regulation. This type of con¬ 
 tract is well recognized in the industry 
 and is desired by consumers since it re¬ 
 sults in higher quality fuel. Further¬ 
 more, the regulation permits new con¬ 
 tracts of this type and permits new sell¬ 
 ers to sell coal under this arrangement 
 provided the terms are reasonable and 
 are in line with other similar contracts. 
 
 The last amendment spells out in de¬ 
 tail the records and data which must be 
 preserved and kept available for inspec¬ 
 tion. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 4 is hereby 
 amended, as follows: 
 
 1. Section 3 is amended by adding 
 thereto the following paragraphs (d) 
 and (e). 
 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the 
 contrary contained herein, retail coal 
 dealers who during the calendar year 
 1950 acted as a distributor by purchasing 
 coal from a mine or mines and resold 
 such coal to certain consumers during 
 the calendar year 1950, at a price cal¬ 
 culated by adding a service charge to the 
 f. o. b. mine price of the coal, said retail 
 coal dealers acting as distributors may 
 continue to sell and ship coal directly 
 from a mine to each such consumer at a 
 price calculated by adding a service 
 charge no higher than the highest serv¬ 
 ice charge said retail dealer charged each 
 such consumer during the calendar year 
 1950 to the f. o. b. mine price of the coal 
 which he buys and ships to each said 
 consumer: Provided, Said retail coal 
 dealer acting as a distributor shall file, 
 by letter, with the Solid Fuels Branch of 
 the Office of Price Stabilization, Wash¬ 
 ington 25, D. C., a statement showing the 
 name and address of each such customer 
 and the amount of the highest mark-up 
 used in sales of coal during the calendar 
 year 1950 to each such customer. This 
 statement shall be filed by letter prior to 
 the sale and shipment of any coal in¬ 
 tended to be priced under this paragraph. 
 
 (e) Notwithstanding any provision to 
 the contrary, a producer or distributor 
 may sell and deliver or contract to sell 
 and deliver, anthracite coal pursuant to a 
 bona fide written contract which con¬ 
 tains a premium and penalty provision 
 based upon the specifications of such 
 coal, and may demand and receive com¬ 
 pensation in an amount per ton, in ad¬ 
 
 dition to the ceiling price provided by 
 said contract: Provided, however, That 
 the basic price contained in such con¬ 
 tract does not exceed the ceiling price 
 established under this regulation and in 
 effect at the time of delivery: And pro¬ 
 vided further, That the terms of such 
 premium and penalty provisions are rea¬ 
 sonable and are not more favorable to 
 the producer or distributor than pre¬ 
 mium and penalty provisions contained 
 in similar contracts of the producer or 
 other producers or distributor or other 
 distributors in effect January 25, 1951. 
 
 2. Section 12 (a) is hereby amended 
 to read as follows: 
 
 (a) Each producer and distributor shall 
 make and keep available for inspection 
 all records showing the price or prices 
 per ton f. o. b. the mine at which he sold 
 and delivered or offered to sell and de¬ 
 liver anthracite coal after February 1, 
 1951, which records shall contain infor¬ 
 mation, when pertinent, regarding qual¬ 
 ity standards, size specifications and 
 other information necessary to deter¬ 
 mine whether the prices charged are in 
 compliance with the ceiling prices estab¬ 
 lished under this regulation. There shall 
 also be maintained and kept available for 
 inspection all records showing the prices 
 charged for special services during the 
 month of January 1951, or if there were 
 rio such charges made during that month, 
 the nearest month prior thereto, together 
 with data revealing the type of special 
 services and fihe occasions for rendering 
 such services or making pocket charges; 
 and there shall also be maintained and 
 kept available for inspection records 
 showing transportation charges and 
 taxes added to the prices charged after 
 February 1, 1951. The Director may re¬ 
 quire the maintenance and preservation 
 of such other records as he deems neces¬ 
 sary in order to effectuate this regula¬ 
 tion. 
 
 Effective date: The above amendments 
 shall become effective as of February 1, 
 1951. 
 
 Note. The record-keeping and reporting 
 requirements of the amendatory provisions 
 of this regulation have been approved by the 
 Bureau of the Budget in accordance with the 
 Federal Reports Act of 1942.

 CHARGES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 as amended, Executive Order 
 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 2 
 (16 F. R. 738), this Amendment 2 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 4 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Charges made by the producer of an¬ 
 thracite coal for special services and 
 pocket charges may, under section 8 of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 4 be added to 
 the applicable ceiling price of the coal 
 so serviced. No reporting or filing of 
 these services or the charges made there¬ 
 for hsis been required by the regulation. 
 
 Many of these services—such as cal¬ 
 cium chloride treatment, oil treatment, 
 specially prepared sizes, split cars (con¬ 
 taining more than one size), partitions, 
 box-car loading, truck loading from 
 pockets at the mines, bags and bagging, 
 and the making of local or retail deliv¬ 
 eries from the mine or adjunct prepara¬ 
 tion plant—have been rendered for some 
 time and many new services which are 
 
 performed have basic similarities. In 
 order to effectuate the purposes of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, it is 
 deemed necessary that the Office of Pric 
 Stabilization receive sufficient informa 
 tion so as to ascertain that the charges 
 made for the services being rendered are 
 proper under the provisions of the regu¬ 
 lation. 
 
 Many services are seasonal and some 
 services were not performed during the 
 base period. The information required 
 by this amendment will allow the Office 
 of Price Stabilization to formulate a fair 
 and equitable amendment under which 
 proposed charges for new services could 
 be processed. 
 
 In order to obtain this information, 
 it is necessary that the producers of an¬ 
 thracite and briquets rendering services 
 as described, or making pocket charges, 
 report the type of services rendered, the 
 method of performing these services, 
 and the prices charged therefor. 
 
 This amendment is not intended to 
 modify in any way the provisions of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 4 as amended. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization this amendment is 
 generally fair and equitable and is nec¬ 
 essary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 4 is further 
 amended as follows: 
 
 1. Section 8, “Special services’’, is 
 amended as follows: 
 
 “After the words ‘Section 8, Special 
 services’ and before the words ‘there may 
 
 be added’, there is inserted the follow¬ 
 ing: ‘(a)’ ”. 
 
 2. Section 8 is further amended by the 
 addition of the following: 
 
 (b) Every producer subject to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 4, as amended, or Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 1 thereto, who 
 has added or does add to the applicable 
 ceiling prices for anthracite or briquets 
 a charge for any special service or pocket 
 charge, pursuant to paragraph (a) of 
 this section, shall file, on or before Sep¬ 
 tember 15, 1951, the following informa¬ 
 tion by letter addressed to the Office of 
 Price Stabilization, Solid Fuels Branch, 
 Washington 25, D. C.: (1) Name and 
 address of the producer reporting; (2) 
 name, number or other designation of 
 the mine or mines, plant or plants, or 
 other facility or facilities at which the 
 special services or pocket charges are 
 made; (3) a full description of the special 
 service or pocket charge made and the 
 equipment, material, or facilities used; 
 and (4) the charges made for such 
 special service or pocket charge.” 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50 U. S. 
 C. App. Sup. 2154.) 
 
 Effective date. This amendment shall 
 become effective August 25, 1951.

 CPR 4 — Anthracite Coal Delivered

 SPECIAL SERVICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 3 to Ceiling Price Regulation 4 is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Anthracite producers, in many in¬ 
 stances, perform special services for 
 their customers, such as anti-freeze 
 treatment, oil treatment, partitions for 
 split cars, bagging, and loading from 
 pockets for which they make charges in 
 varying amounts. 
 
 Under the provisions of section 8 of 
 CPR 4 producers may add to the appli¬ 
 cable ceiling prices charges for such spe¬ 
 cial services. However, such charges 
 shall not exceed the charges made for 
 the same service in January 1951 (or if 
 no such charge was made in January 
 1951, the nearest month prior thereto). 
 This provision, therefore, does not per¬ 
 mit producers performing such services 
 to charge for them if during or prior to 
 January 1951, they did not perform such 
 services. 
 
 Amendment 2 to CPR 4 requires pro¬ 
 ducers subject to CPR 4 who have added 
 or do add to applicable ceiling prices for 
 anthracite or briquets a charge for any 
 special service or pocket charge, to file 
 such charges with the OPS, Solid Fuels 
 Branch. Sixty-five companies repre¬ 
 senting 87 percent of the industry’s total 
 production for the first six months of 
 1951 have filed such reports. Generally 
 the charges made are below the actual 
 cost of rendering service. 
 
 This amendment permits producers of 
 anthracite coal and anthracite briquets 
 to add to the applicable ceiling prices 
 
 charges for special services which are 
 not offered during the period specified in 
 section 8 (a) of the present regulation. 
 However,' such charges shall be made 
 only after approval by the Director of 
 the Office of Price Stabilization, upon a 
 showing that they are in-line with 
 charges for special services made during 
 the base period. 
 
 In, the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization this amendment is 
 generally fair and equitable and is neces¬ 
 sary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended. 
 
 In formulating this amendment the 
 Director has consulted with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, including trade association 
 representatives, to the extent practicable 
 under the circumstances, and has given 
 consideration to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 4 is amended 
 in the following respect: 
 
 Section 8 is amended by adding a new 
 paragraph (c) to read as follows: 
 
 (c) (1) A producer who during the 
 period referred to in paragraph (a) of 
 this section did not perform the special 
 services, including truck loading from 
 pockets at the mines, and who is now 7 
 equipped to perform such services, may 
 file an application for permission to add 
 to the applicable ceiling prices set forth 
 in this part an additional charge for the 
 performance of such services. The ap¬ 
 plication must be filed in duplicate with 
 the Office of Price Stabilization, Solid 
 Fuels Branch, Washington 25, D. C., and 
 shall include (i) the name and address 
 of the producer reporting; (ii) the name, 
 number or other designation of the mine 
 or mines, plant or plants, or other facil¬ 
 ity or facilities at which the special 
 services are to be performed; (iii) a full 
 description of the special service and 
 the equipment, material, or facilities tc 
 be used; and (iv) the charges requested 
 for such special service. 
 
 (2) Where the application pertains to 
 specially prepared sizes, the information 
 submitted shall show in addition to the 
 information required in subparagraph 
 
 (1): (i) Size of the coal; (ii) use for 
 which the coal is intended; (iii) special 
 treatment given the coal; (iv) resultant 
 increase in quality above the applicant’s 
 regular commercial preparation and 
 above the quality standards of Appendix 
 B of this regulation; and (v) additional 
 costs incurred by reason of rendering 
 this service. 
 
 (3) Applications pertaining to pockei 
 charges shall show in addition to the 
 information required in subparagraph 
 (1) that: (i) The mine, preparation 
 plant or ground storage facility involved 
 is rail-connected and equipped to load 
 trucks from pockets other than railroad 
 car pockets, and to weigh anthracite on 
 retail scales; (ii) the anthracite loaded in 
 trucks meets the quality standards set 
 forth in Appendix B of CPR 4, as amend¬ 
 ed; (iii) additional costs are incurred b? 
 reason of rendering this service; (iv) the 
 anthracite loaded from pockets is for 
 delivery entirely by truck without inter¬ 
 vening rail shipment. 
 
 The application may be approved, in 
 whole or in part, by the Director of Price 
 Stabilization or by any official of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization having au¬ 
 thority to act on such application if he 
 finds that such charge is in line with the 
 level of those allowed in paragraph (a) 
 of this section for similar services. The 
 Director may require any additional in¬ 
 formation that he deems necessary for 
 proper determination of the application. 
 No charge shall be made for such service 
 or pocket charge until approved by the 
 Director of Price Stabilization or an offi¬ 
 cial of the OPS having authority to act 
 on the application. 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50 U. S. C. 
 App. Sup. 2154) 
 
 Effective date. This amendment shall 
 become effective March 8, 1952. 
 
 Note: The record-keeping and reporting 
 requirements of this regulation have been 
 approved by the Bureau of the Budget in

 Adjustment on Certain Sizes Ceiling Price Regulation 4

 WASHINGTON 
 
 TITLE 32A—NATIONAL DEFENSE, 
 APPENDIX 
 
 Chapter III—Office of Price Stabiliza¬

 [Celling Price Regulation 4, Arndt. 4[ 
 
 CPR 4— Anthracite Delivered Prom 
 Mine or Preparation Plant 
 
 ADJUSTMENTS ON CERTAIN SIZES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 4 to Ceiling Price Regulation 4 is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment increases ceiling 
 prices of certain industrial sizes of 
 Pennsylvania anthracite by 75 cents per 
 net ton f. o. b. mines. These increases 
 apply only to No. 1 Buckwheat, Rice, 
 Barley, and Buckwheat No. 4 and smaller 
 sizes, all of which represent about 45 per¬ 
 cent of total sales of anthracite. 
 
 Members of the Industry Advisory 
 Committee requested this increase and 
 contended that it was justified under the 
 industry earnings standard. In order to 
 qualify for a price increase under that 
 standard, an industry must show that its 
 current earnings are less than 85 percent 
 of the industry’s average earnings during 
 the three best years during the 1946-1949 
 period. The Office of Price Stabilization 
 has made a study of the anthracite in¬ 
 dustry, on the basis of which it appears 
 that the requested price increase is jus¬ 
 tified under the earnings standard. 
 
 The larger or domestic sizes of anthra¬ 
 cite are used mostly for home heating by 
 
 consumers in New England, New York, 
 Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and 
 the District of Columbia. Industrial us¬ 
 ers account for most of the sales of the 
 smaller sizes, which are used primarily 
 for the production of electricity in power 
 plants and as metallurgical coals. 
 
 When CPR 4 was issued it granted cer¬ 
 tain increases on the larger sizes of an¬ 
 thracite greater than those granted on 
 industrial sizes. Thus, in following the 
 recommendation of the Industry Advis¬ 
 ory Committee that the present price in¬ 
 creases be uniformly applied to the in¬ 
 dustrial sizes rather than on the domes¬ 
 tic consumer sizes, OPS is not only mini¬ 
 mizing the impact on the cost of living, 
 it is also bringing ceiling prices on the 
 commercial sizes into a more customary 
 relationship with the ceiling prices on 
 the domestic sizes. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment, 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives, and considera¬ 
 tion has been given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. This consultation included

 ADJUSTMENTS ON ALL SIZES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 5 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 4 is hereby issued. 
 
 statement of considerations 
 
 This amendment increases the ceiling 
 prices on all sizes of Anthracite by 20 
 cents per net ton f. o. b. the mines. The 
 increase has been requested by the an¬ 
 thracite industry because of the interim 
 agreement reached between the Inter¬ 
 national Union of United Mine Workers 
 of America, and the anthracite pro¬ 
 ducers increasing the amount which the 
 producers must pay to the Anthracite 
 Health and Welfare Fund from 30 cents 
 to 50 cents per net ton. The Wage Sta¬ 
 bilization Board has advised the Union 
 and the industry that “prior Board ap¬ 
 proval is not required before the affected 
 employers may increase their contribu¬ 
 tions to the Anthracite Health and 
 Welfare Fund from 30* per ton to 50* 
 per ton, provided that such increase in 
 contributions is necessary to maintain 
 the level of benefits prevailing on Jan¬ 
 uary 25, 1951. Any increase in benefit 
 levels or the institution of additional 
 benefits requires Board approval.” 
 
 Increases in the ceiling prices for some 
 sizes of anthracite were recently author¬ 
 ized by the Office of Price Stabilization in 
 
 Amendment 4. The increase authorized 
 by that amendment was intended to per¬ 
 mit the industry to recover substantially 
 the amount to which it was entitled un¬ 
 der the Industry Earnings Standard. On 
 the basis of the industry earnings sur¬ 
 vey, and information received for the 
 period January-July, 1952, this industry 
 has demonstrated that the need for re¬ 
 lief is immediate. So as not to delay 
 this relief, the Agency is permitting an 
 increase generally sufficient to cover the 
 amount of increase in the welfare fund 
 agreement. If the anthracite industry 
 demonstrates that there is need for fur¬ 
 ther relief so as to bring the level of the 
 earnings of the industry up to the 85% 
 level warranted by the Industry Stand¬ 
 ard, the Agency will take whatever action 
 is deemed appropriate. 
 
 So far as practicable, the Director of 
 Price Stabilization gave due considera¬ 
 tion to the national effort to achieve 
 maximum production in furtherance of 
 the objectives of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, and to relevant 
 factors of general applicability. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization this amendment is 
 generally fair and equitable and is nec¬ 
 essary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment, 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade asso¬ 
 ciation representatives, and considera¬ 
 tion has been given to their recommen¬ 
 dations.

 ADJUSTMENTS ON ALL SIZES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Proauction 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161 and Economic Stabilization Agen¬ 
 cy General Order No. 2, this Amendment 
 6 to Ceiling Price Regulation 4 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 4 increases the ceiling prices on 
 all sizes of anthracite by amounts rang¬ 
 ing from 40 cents to $1.35 per net ton, 
 f. o. b. the mines. These increases are 
 necessary to permit the anthracite-pro¬ 
 ducing industry to meet the Industry 
 Earnings Standard. 
 
 An industry earnings survey of the 
 anthracite-producing industry was made 
 earlier this year at the request of the 
 Anthracite Industry Advisory Commit¬ 
 tee. As a result of the findings of the 
 survey the ceiling prices of the industrial 
 sizes (buckwheat No. 1 and smaller) were 
 adjusted in the amount of 75 cents per 
 ton, becoming effective on August 12, 
 1952. This interim adjustment did not 
 exhaust the entire amount of entitle¬ 
 ment of the industry under the Industry 
 Earnings Standard. 
 
 Further study of industry earnings 
 shows that the industry is entitled to an 
 additional price increase averaging 35.5 
 cents per ton to permit it to meet the 
 industry earnings standard. The in¬ 
 creases provided in this amendment in¬ 
 clude that amount. 
 
 On October 3, the ceiling prices of 
 all sizes of anthracite were increased in 
 the amount of 20 cents per net ton, 
 reflecting the additional payment into 
 the Anthracite Health and Welfare 
 Fund agreed to by the industry and the 
 United Mine Workers of America. The 
 increase in the welfare payment was in¬ 
 cluded in an interim agreement pending 
 the completioh of negotiations on wage 
 and other matters. 
 
 On November 1, 1952, the representa¬ 
 tives of the anthracite industry and 
 
 UMW of A reached an agreement on 
 wage increases to be paid the miners, 
 effective November 16, 1952, as well as 
 further changes in the terms and con¬ 
 ditions of employment. The agreement 
 sets forth in detail a method of apply¬ 
 ing the wage increases which have been 
 granted to employees paid daily and on 
 piece-work rates. 
 
 The anthracite industry wage agree¬ 
 ment has been submitted to the Wage 
 Stabilization Board for approval and is 
 now being considered by that Agency. 
 An increase of at least $1.50 per day 
 for the anthracite industry, paralleling 
 that already approved for bituminous 
 will be effective retroactive to Novem¬ 
 ber 16, 1952, upon formal approval by 
 the Wage Stabilization Board. Thus the 
 anthracite producers will begin to incur 
 substantially higher production costs be¬ 
 ginning November 16, which the indus¬ 
 try cannot absorb under the Industry 
 Earnings Standard. 
 
 The increases included in this price 
 action, therefore, reflect the amount to 
 which the industry is entitled under the 
 Industry Earnings Standard including a 
 cost increase based on an average wage 
 increase of $1.50 per day, amounting to 
 a total of $1,047 per net ton. If a higher 
 rate increase is hereafter authorized a 
 further adjustment may be required. 
 
 Prices on the smaller sizes of anthra¬ 
 cite coal have traditionally been lower 
 than on the larger prepared sizes. This 
 reflects strong competition with other 
 forms of solid fuels and with oil and 
 gas. In order to permit the industry to 
 obtain earnings to which it is entitled 
 under the Industry Earnings Standard, 
 the various sizes of anthracite are being 
 increased by amounts ranging from 40 
 cents per net ton on buckwheat Nos. 4 
 and 5 and smaller to $1.35 on broken 
 size. 
 
 So far as practicable, the Director of 
 Price Stabilization gave due considera¬ 
 tion to the national effort to achieve 
 maximum production in furtherance of 
 the objectives of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, and to relevant 
 factors of general applicability. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization this amendment is 
 generally fair and equitable and is neces¬ 
 sary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act, as 
 amended. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment, 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives, and considera¬ 
 tion has been given to their recommen¬ 
 dations.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production

 Executive Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105) 
 and Economic Stabilization Agency Gen¬ 
 eral Order No. 2 (16 P. R. 738), this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation No. 1 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation No. 4 (16 F. R. 1011) is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Anthracite briquet manufacturing 
 plants are located in the Anthracite Re¬ 
 gion of Pennsylvania. For the most part 
 these plants are adjuncts of anthracite 
 preparation plants. 
 
 The product, a domestic fuel, consists 
 of 80 percent anthracite, 7 to 8 percent 
 asphalt as a binder, and 12-13 percent 
 bituminous coal. 
 
 Total production of anthracite bri¬ 
 quets in 1950 was 359,000 net tons. The 
 product is made in one size and sold at 
 one price. 
 
 Cost increases over January 1, 1951, 
 have resulted from the new wage agree¬ 
 ment with U. M. W. A. negotiated Janu¬ 
 ary 26, 1951. Material costs, principally 
 anthracite and bituminous coal, have 
 advanced pursuant to the authority of 
 Ceiling Price Regulations Nos. 3 and 4 
 made effective on February 1, 1951. As¬ 
 phalt, the third principal ingredient, has 
 advanced sharply in price since 1950. 
 
 The labor increase amounts to $0.1731 
 per net ton, Social Security and old age 
 benefits $0.0095, materials $0.4095, or a 
 total cost increase of $0.5921 per ton, 
 which practically eliminates the $0.64 net 
 income per ton before taxes realized on 
 the entire 1950 business. 
 
 This supplementary regulation is in¬ 
 tended to offset the actual cost increase 
 cited above. 
 
 FINDINGS OF DIRECTOR OF PRICE 
 STABILIZATION 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the provisions of Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation No. 1 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation No. 4 are generally fair 
 and equitable and are necessary to effec¬ 
 tuate the purposes of Title IV of the De¬ 
 fense Production Act of 1950. 
 
 So far as practicable the Director of 
 Price Stabilization gave due considera¬ 
 tion to the national effort to achieve 
 maximum production in furtherance of 
 the objectives of the Defense Produc¬ 
 tion Act of 1950; to prices prevailing dur¬ 
 ing the period from May 24, 1950, to 
 June 24, 1950, inclusive and to relevant 
 factors of general applicability. 
 
 In formulating this supplementary 
 regulation the Director has consulted 
 with representatives of the industry to 
 the extent practicable under the circum¬ 
 stances, and has given consideration to 
 their recommendations.

 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 1 to SR 1 to CPR 4, Is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Supplementary 
 Regulation 1 adjusts the ceiling price of 
 anthracite briquets by an amount which 
 has been shown to be required under the 
 Industry Earnings Standard. 
 
 Anthracite briquets are manufactured 
 by two single-line companies operating 
 in the anthracite coal field. Both com¬ 
 panies have submitted a petition for 
 amendement to the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization requesting relief under the 
 Industry Earnings Standard. This 
 
 standard requires that an industry whose 
 current earnings are less than 85 percent 
 of its average earnings during the three 
 best years 1946-1949, with adjustments 
 made for any changes in the net worth, 
 is entitled to have its ceiling prices ad¬ 
 justed so as to permit it to earn at least 
 85 percent of its average during the base 
 period. 
 
 A survey of the anthracite briquet in¬ 
 dustry was conducted by this office and, 
 as of the end of 1951, the industry’s earn¬ 
 ings indicated that it was entitled to re¬ 
 lief. Since the end of 1951 there have 
 been various increases in the costs of 
 raw materials (anthracite, bituminous 
 coal and asphalt). The available in¬ 
 formation indicates that the industry is 
 entitled to an increase of one dollar in 
 its celling price. This adjustment will 
 increase the celling price of anthracite 
 briquets to $11.95 per ton, f. o. b. the 
 plant. 
 
 In the Judgment of the Director of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, this amend¬ 
 ment is generally fair and equitable and 
 will effectuate the purpose of Title IV 
 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended. 
 
 As far as practicable the Director of 
 Price Stabilization gave due considera¬ 
 tion to the national effort to achieve 
 maximum production in furtherance of 
 the objectives of the Defense Production 
 
 Act of 1950, as amended, and to relevant 
 factors of general applicability. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade asso¬ 
 ciation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations.

 APPENDIX 
 
 Chapter III—Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Economic Stabilization Agency 
 
 [Celling Price Regulation 13] 
 
 CPR 13— Retail Ceilings on Petroleum 
 Products 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 Executive Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), 
 and Economic Stabilization Agency Gen¬ 
 eral Order No. 2 (16 P. R. 738), this 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 13 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 The rapidity with which the infla¬ 
 tionary pressures incident to the out¬ 
 break in Korea and the announced 
 stepped up rearmament program were 
 being reflected in price increases 
 throughout the economy during the lat¬ 
 ter part of 1950 required immediate ac¬ 
 tion in the field of direct controls. Ac¬ 
 cordingly, a General Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation was issued on January 26, 1951. 
 However, it was realized at the time 
 that a single regulation covering a mul¬ 
 titude of prices and the diverse prac¬ 
 tices of many sellers and industries 
 should be replaced as rapidly as pos¬ 
 sible by specific regulations tailored to 
 the needs of different industries. This 
 regulation is one of several designed 
 to cover all marketing segments and 
 products of the petroleum industry. It 
 provides for the establishment of ceil¬ 
 ing prices for certain petroleum prod¬ 
 ucts at service stations and other retail 
 establishments. 
 
 Petroleum products are distributed at 
 the retail level mainly through service 
 stations of which there are an estimated 
 400,000 throughout the United States. 
 Generally speaking, these service sta¬ 
 tions are relatively small establishments, 
 and it is therefore essential that any 
 regulation attempting to control the 
 prices of products distributed through 
 these channels be as clear and concise 
 as possible and readily understandable. 
 It is believed that the subject regula¬ 
 tion accomplishes this purpose. 
 
 The salient features of this regulation 
 are concerned principally with the pric¬ 
 ing methods. The individual seller de¬ 
 termines his own ceiling price which is 
 the highest price charged for a product 
 during the base period of December 19, 
 1950, to January 25,1951, inclusive. This 
 will result essentially in margins which 
 ; have existed since before the beginning 
 of the Korean war. In the event the 
 seller had no base period sales, alterna¬ 
 tive methods of determining ceiling prices 
 are prpvided. The regulation also pro¬ 
 vides for establishing ceiling prices for 
 new products, as well as in cases where 
 a new retail outlet has been established 
 
 or where a change of ownership takes 
 place. 
 
 The administrative procedure for re¬ 
 solving problems that may arise has been 
 greatly simplified in that it contains pro¬ 
 visions for automatic partial relief of 
 hardship cases and permits the solution 
 of other problems at the regional level 
 with the exception of those arising out 
 of local shortages and depressed price 
 areas. Sellers whose ceiling price re¬ 
 sults in a margin less than they enjoyed 
 during the base period or four cents are 
 permitted to adjust their ceiling prices to 
 reflect either their base period margins 
 or four cents per gallon. This provision 
 has been included to give immediate par¬ 
 tial relief to dealers in certain areas 
 where depressed prices exist causing con¬ 
 siderable hardship on dealers involved. 
 According to figures furnished by the 
 American Petroleum Institute of dealer 
 margins in fifty representative cities, this 
 four cent margin is the lowest margin 
 existing during the selected base period 
 at any of these points. Except for cities 
 in which price wars exist the margins 
 are no greater than those in the period 
 immediately before the beginning of the 
 Korean war. The adoption of this mar¬ 
 gin provision is tentative pending a more 
 complete survey of area margins by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization. The regu¬ 
 lation treats all marketers equally, and 
 tends to preserve the customary market¬ 
 ing practices insofar as they are conso¬ 
 nant with the provisions of the Defense 
 Production Act. The regulation attempts 
 to keep to a minimum the work of record 
 keeping. 
 
 Prior to the formulation of this regu¬ 
 lation the Director of Price Stabilization 
 advised with a large number of persons 
 representing a substantial part of the 
 industry and the regulation has been re¬ 
 viewed by the National Petroleum Ad¬ 
 visory Committee established by the Di¬ 
 rector of the Office of Price Stabilization. 
 
 FINDINGS OF THE DIRECTOR OF PRICE 
 STABILIZATION 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the ceiling prices 
 established by this regulation are gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and are neces¬ 
 sary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950. 
 
 So far as practicable the Director of 
 Price Stabilization gave due considera¬ 
 tion to the national effort to achieve 
 maximum production in .furtherance of 
 the objectives of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950; to prices prevailing during 
 the period from May 24, 1950, to June 
 24, 1950, inclusive; and to relevant fac¬ 
 tors of general applicability.

 Sec. 3. Compliance with this regula¬ 
 tion required —(a) Prohibition against 
 selling or delivery of petroleum products 
 at prices above the ceiling. On and after 
 the effective date of this regulation, re¬ 
 gardless of any contract or other obli¬ 
 gation, no person shall sell or deliver 
 and no person shall buy or receive in the 
 course of trade or business any petro¬ 
 leum product covered by this regulation 
 at prices higher than the ceiling prices

 PRICING METHODS 
 
 Sec. 4. Specific prices. If the Office of 
 Price Stabilization establishes specific 
 ceiling prices for a particular grade of 
 product for the area or community in 
 which you are located, then those prices 
 so spelled out in this regulation or other 
 regulations or orders issued pursuant 
 thereto are your ceiling prices for the 
 particular grade (or grades) of product. 
 
 Sec. 5. Base period sales. If no specific 
 ceiling prices are established by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, then your 
 ceiling price is the highest price you 
 charged for each grade of product to a 
 purchaser of the same class at each of 
 the service stations or retail establish¬ 
 ments you operated during the period 
 from December 19, 1950, to January 25, 
 1951, inclusive. 
 
 Sec. 6 . No base period sales. If you 
 cannot determine your ceiling prices 
 under section 4 or section 5 of this regu¬ 
 lation, you are required to adopt the ceil¬ 
 ing price for the grade of product in¬ 
 volved of any seller of your class located 
 within a radius of one mile. 
 
 Sec. 7. Group pricing. If you oper¬ 
 ated several service stations or retail es¬ 
 tablishments and had an established 
 practice of centrally determining uni¬ 
 form prices by areas during the base 
 period for some or all of your products, 
 you may treat all retail establishments 
 in each such customary separate price 
 area as one seller for the purpose of (a) 
 computing ceiling prices for the grades 
 of products for which this practice ex¬ 
 isted and (b) complying with the record 
 keeping, reporting and filing provisions 
 of this regulation. The ceiling prices 
 shall be the uniform-centrally deter¬ 
 mined prices for each separate price 
 area. Records shall be centrally kept, 
 listing the names and addresses of the 
 retail establishments of each group. If 
 you determine ceiling prices under this 
 section, each retail outlet included in the 
 group must continue to abide by the ceil¬ 
 ing prices determined under this section. 
 The permission granted by this section 
 may be withdrawn by the Director of 
 Price Stabilization from any sellers upon 
 
 consideration of the price records main¬ 
 tained by such sellers and such reports 
 as he may require. 
 
 Sec. 8 . Special pricing methods for 
 automotive gasoline for tank wagon 
 purchasers, (a) A seller of automotive 
 gasoline at a retail establishment may, 
 if he chooses, fix a ceiling price for each 
 grade of automotive gasoline by either 
 of the following methods: 
 
 (1) By adding to the tank wagon 
 ceiling price for regular grade gasoline 
 of your supplier 4 cents per gallon plus 
 or minus your customary retail differen¬ 
 tial for premium or third grade gasoline; 
 or 
 
 (b) For purpose of computing mar¬ 
 gins, the tank wagon ceiling price of the 
 supplying company shall be considered 
 the purchase price with respect to com¬ 
 pany operated retail establishments de¬ 
 termining ceilings under this section. 
 
 Sec. 9. Special pricing methods for 
 automotive gasoline not purchased at 
 the tank wagon price level. If you are 
 not a tank wagon purchaser of auto¬ 
 motive gasoline at the retail establish¬ 
 ment involved, and therefore, cannot use 
 the margins permitted certain tank 
 wagon purchasers under the preceding 
 section, you may fix a ceiling price for 
 each grade of automotive gasoline by 
 either of the following methods: 
 
 (2) By adding to the tank wagon 
 ceiling price for regular grade gasoline 
 of your supplier the margin you had in 
 the base period. This method of pricing 
 can be used only if 50 percent of your 
 sales during the base period reflected 
 that margin. Furthermore, you must 
 continue to use this ceiling unless a 
 change in ceiling price is subsequently 
 ordered by the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion and you must file this price with 
 the District office of the Office of Price 
 Stabilization for the District in which 
 each retail establishment is located. 
 Your filing should be as follows: 
 
 (a) By adding to your current laid 
 down cost 4 cents per gallon for regular 
 grade gasoline, plus or minus your cus¬ 
 tomary retail differentials for premium 
 or third grade gasoline; or 
 
 (b) By adding to your current laid 
 down cost the margin you had in the 
 base period. This method of pricing can 
 be used only if 50 percent of your sales 
 during the base period reflected that 
 margin. Furthermore, you must con¬ 
 tinue to use this ceiling price unless a 
 change in ceiling price is subsequently 
 ordered by the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, and you must file this price with 
 the District office of the Office of Price 
 Stabilization in which each retail estab¬ 
 lishment is located. Your filing should 
 be as follows: 
 
 I have on_(date) determined my ceiling price under section 9 (b) of

 1 "Laid down cost” means the cost of the product in your storage tanks. It includes only 
 the cost of the product (including taxes) and transportation expense. For example: If you 
 purchase on a “delivered at destination” basis the delivered price of your supplier is your 
 “laid down cost”. If you purchase on an f. o. b. shipping point basis your laid down cost 
 is your f. o. b. shipping point price plus transportation expense incurred. The transporta¬ 
 tion expense incurred is the amount you pay to the commercial carrier or if a commercial 
 carrier is not utilized the amount you customarily considered as transportation expense, 
 provided, however, such latter amount shall be no higher than the established commercial 
 rate for the shipment Involved. 
 
 I have on_(date) determined my ceiling price under section 8 (a) (2) of the

 Sec. 10. Increases and reduction in 
 ceiling prices. You may add to your 
 ceiling price the amount of any increase 
 authorized by the Office of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation in the ceiling price of your sup¬ 
 plier. 
 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 
 Sec. 11. Federal and State taxes —(a) 
 Taxes in effect during base period. If 
 during the base period you included a 
 tax (either directly or by separate state¬ 
 ment and collection) as a part of your 
 price for a petroleum product, you may 
 include such tax (either directly or by 
 separate statement and collection in the 
 same manner you included such tax in 
 your price during the base period) as a 
 part of any ceiling price established un¬ 
 der this regulation for that product or 
 for a new product you are now selling 
 which is subject to the same tax. 
 
 (b) Taxes or increases in taxes effec¬ 
 tive after January 25, 1951. Any tax in¬ 
 crease or new tax imposed after January 
 25, 1951, upon or incident to the sale, de¬ 
 livery or use of any petroleum product 
 covered by this regulation may be col¬ 
 lected by you in addition to the ceiling 
 prices established under this regulation, 
 if you are by law required to collect or 
 pay 1 such tax. 
 
 Sec. 12. Records, receipts, statement 
 and posting of ceiling prices —(a) Rec¬ 
 ords. Every person selling petroleum 
 products subject to this regulation shall:

 Office of Price Stabilization all your ex¬ 
 isting records relating to the prices 
 which you charged for such petroleum 
 products as you sold during the base pe¬ 
 riod. In addition, you must prepare 
 within 30 days after the effective date of 
 this regulation and preserve a statement 
 of any of your customary allowances, 
 discounts and other price differentials. 
 
 (2) Keep for a period of two years and 
 make available for examination by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization records of 
 the same kind as you customarily kept, 
 relating to the prices which you 
 charged for such petroleum products as 
 you sold, after January 25, 1951, and the 
 records of the same kind relating to 
 products sold hereafter. 
 
 (b) Sales slips and receipts. If you 
 have customarily given a purchaser a 
 sales slip, receipt or similar evidence 
 of purchase, you shall continue to do 
 so. Upon request from a purchaser, you 
 shall give the purchaser a receipt show¬ 
 ing the date, your name and address, the 
 kind, grade, and quantity of the petro¬ 
 leum product or products sold and the 
 price received for each product. 
 
 (c) Statement of ceiling prices. Pre¬ 
 pare within 30 days after the effective 
 date of this regulation on the basis of 
 all available information and records 
 and thereafter keep for examination by 
 the Office of Price Stabilization during

 showing your ceiling prices on each 
 grade of product and the basis on which 
 
 k you determined such ceiling prices. 
 
 (d) Posting of ceiling prices. You 
 shall post the ceiling price for each 
 grade of motor fuel and each motor lu¬ 
 bricating oil in a manner plainly visible 
 to and understandable by each pur¬ 
 chaser. Such postings shall be marked 
 
 “ceiling prices” or “our ceiling”, be¬ 
 neath which shall be marked each grade 
 of the product offered for sale and op¬ 
 posite each grade shall be stated the ceil¬ 
 ing price for that grade. Every person 
 whose ceiling prices are subsequently in¬ 
 creased under sections 4, 10, 11 (b), 16 
 or 17 pursuant to authorization by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization shall indi¬ 
 cate separately in such postings either 
 for 60 days after such authorization or 
 for so long as the increase remains ef¬ 
 fective, whichever period is shorter, the 
 amount by which the ceiling price of 
 each product was increased and thei fact 
 that such increase was authorized by 
 the Office of Price Stabilization. The 
 postings shall use the following lan¬ 
 guage: "_cents increase per gal¬ 
 
 lon—approved by the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization effective_date” or 
 
 any other statement supplying the same 
 information. 
 
 (e) General Ceiling Price Regulation 
 records. Compliance with the record¬ 
 keeping provisions of this section shall 
 be deemed compliance with the record¬ 
 keeping requirements of the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation during the pe¬ 
 riod when petroleum products were 
 covered by that regulation.

 be the same as those of your predecessor. 
 Your predecessor must either preserve 
 and make available to you or turn over to 
 you all records of transactions before 
 the transfer which you need to comply 
 with this regulation. 
 
 If either or both paragraphs (a) and 
 (b) of this section apply to you but not 
 paragraphs (c) or (d) of this section 
 you shall adopt the ceiling price for 
 each grade of product of a seller of your 
 class in your same general ar ea. Ceiling 
 prices determinded in this way shall be 
 filed with the Petroleum Branch of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, Washington 
 25, D. C., and shall be your ceiling prices 
 until disapproved or revised by the 
 Director of Price Stabilization of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization.

 ing in different quantities or grades or 
 under different conditions of sale. 
 
 (h) “Base period” means the period 
 from December 19, 1950, to January 25, 
 1951, inclusive. 
 
 (i) “Tank wagon purchaser” means 
 a person purchasing at the tank wagon 
 price. 
 
 (j) “Tank wagon price” means a par¬ 
 ticular price level customarily estab-' 
 lished by a seller regardless of the type 
 or size of equipment that may be used 
 for making deliveries, as distinguished 
 from the “tank car” price, or other large 
 lot quantity price levels. The tank 
 wagon price is a delivered-at-destina- 
 tion price. 
 
 Sec. 15. Petitions for amendment. 
 Any person seeking an amendment of 
 this regulation may file a petition for 
 amendment in accordance with the pro¬ 
 visions of Price Procedural Regulation 
 No. 1. 
 
 Sec. 16. Adjustments because of Fair 
 Trade Acts. Ceiling prices established 
 under this regulation may be adjusted 
 by order of the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion in the case of any seller at retail 
 who shows: 
 
 (a) Either that his ceiling price for 
 any product established under this regu¬ 
 lation is less than the minimum price at 
 which he was lawfully required to sell 
 the product during the base period pur¬ 
 suant to the provisions of a State Fair 
 Trade Act; or that he had been perma¬ 
 nently enjoined by a court from selling 
 the product at less than such minimum 
 price; and also 
 
 (b) That the product was generally 
 sold at retail during the base period at 
 
81 Trans 33:4 
 
 prices no lower than such minimum price 
 within the locality in which his selling 
 establishment is located. In such cases, 
 the ceiling price of the seller will be in¬ 
 creased to such minimum price. Appli¬ 
 cations for adjustment shall be filed in 
 accordance with Price Procedural Regu¬ 
 lation No. 1. 
 
 Each Regional Director of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization and such District 
 Directors of the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion as may be designated by the appro¬ 
 priate Regional Director are hereby 
 authorized to make adjustments or act 
 upon applications for adjustment under 
 this section. 
 
 Sec. 17. Applications for adjustment. 
 Applications for adjustment for local 
 shortage and depressed price areas shall 
 be filed in Washington, D. C., in accord¬ 
 ance with Price Procedural Regulation 
 No. 1. The Office of Price Stabilization 
 may adjust by order any ceiling price 
 established under this regulation for any 
 seller or group of sellers when it appears: 
 
 (a) Local shortages. (1) That there 
 exists or threatens to exist in a particu¬ 
 lar locality a shortage in the supply of a 
 petroleum product which aids directly in 
 ^he present defense program or is es¬ 
 sential to a standard of living consistent 
 with the maintenance of the defense 
 program; and 
 
 (2) That such local shortage will be 
 substantially reduced or eliminated by 
 adjusting the ceiling prices of such seller 
 and of like sellers for such product; and 
 
 (3) That such adjustment will not 
 create or tend to create a shortage or a 
 need for increase in prices, in another 
 locality, and will effectuate the purposes 
 of the Defense Production Act of 1950. 
 
 (b) Depressed price areas and price 
 inequities. (1) That due to temporary 
 conditions, a seller has a ceiling price 
 which is lower than a price that would 
 
 maintain such seller’s customary price 
 relationship with other sellers in the 
 same marketing area or 
 
 (2) That prices charged for petroleum 
 products in a particular area have cus¬ 
 tomarily followed the pattern of prices in 
 nearby or surrounding areas but due to 
 temporary conditions ceiling prices have 
 been established by this regulation which 
 are below the level of prices which would 
 have prevailed had the area been free to 
 adjust itself to normal conditions. 
 
 The seller in applying under subpar¬ 
 agraph (1) or subparagraph (2) of this 
 paragraph shall present to the satisfac¬ 
 tion of the Office of Price Stabilization: 
 
 (i) The basis upon which it is con¬ 
 cluded that the ceiling prices are below 
 normal. 
 
 (ii) The ceiling prices proposed. 
 
 (iii) Information showing why the 
 proposed ceiling prices would be normal. 
 
 (iv) A statement that the proposed 
 ceiling prices will not be above the level 
 of ceiling prices otherwise established by 
 the regulation.

 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 The accompanying amendment to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 13 clarifies sec¬ 
 tions 8 and 9: 
 
 The provision of sections 8(1) and 9 
 (a) permitting 4 cents per gallon to be 
 added to the tank wagon ceiling price 
 
 for regular grade gasoline of a dealer’s 
 supplier plus or minus the customary re¬ 
 tail differential for premium or third 
 grade gasoline does not reflect the pric¬ 
 ing method used in the territories, since 
 margins are customarily lower than 4 
 cents in such areas. Such an addition 
 would result in increased prices in these 
 areas. Therefore, it is desirable that the 
 territories and possessions of the United 
 States be excluded from this pricing 
 method. 
 
 The further purpose of this amend¬ 
 ment is to make it clear that the filing 
 required by section 8 (2) and 9 (b) is to 
 be made within 60 days after the effec¬ 
 tive date of Ceiling Price Regulation 13, 
 or within 15 days after a seller puts this 
 method of pricing into effect. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 13 is amended 
 in the following respects: 
 
 1. Section 8 (1) is amended by adding, 
 at the beginning of the sentence, the 
 following: “Except in the territories and 
 possessions of the United States,”. 
 
 2. Section 9 (a) is amended by adding, 
 at the beginning of the sentence, the fol¬ 
 lowing: “Except in the territories and 
 possessions of the United States,”. 
 
 3. Section 8 (2) is amended by add¬ 
 ing “within 60 days after the effective 
 date of this regulation or within 15 days 
 after you determine your ceiling price 
 by this method” to the last sentence fol¬ 
 lowing the word, “located.” 
 
 4. Section 9 (b) is amended by adding 
 “within 60 days after the effective date 
 of this regulation or within 15 days after 
 you determine your ceiling price by this

 Effective date. This amendment, ex¬ 
 cept as otherwise herein stated, shall 
 become effective April 30, 1951. 
 
 Note: The reporting requirements of this 
 amendment have been approved by the Bu¬ 
 reau of the Budget in accordance with the

 ADJUSTMENT OF CEILING PRICES DUE TO 
 
 CHANGES IN TAXES AND TRANSPORTATION 
 
 RATES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 2 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 13 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 13 makes three changes. One 
 change deals with two of the provisions 
 permitting the establishment of ceilings 
 by a formula, another requires reduc¬ 
 tion in ceilings where taxes have been 
 reduced, and the third deals with in¬ 
 creases in transportation rates. 
 
 Sections 8 and 9 of Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 13 permit retail sellers of auto¬ 
 motive gasoline to establish ceiling prices 
 for these products by adding to the cost 
 of product at the time of calculation the 
 gross margin the seller obtained during 
 the base period. However, it was not in¬ 
 tended to permit sellers to repeatedly 
 redetermine their ceiling price by use of 
 these sections. This amendment is de¬ 
 signed to eliminate any confusion as to 
 the proper use of sections 8 and 9. In¬ 
 creases in product cost may be passed 
 through in accordance with section 10 
 of the regulation, which is specifically 
 designed to maintain customary mar¬ 
 gins. 
 
 Most of the automotive gasoline pur¬ 
 chased by service stations in this country 
 is bought on a delivered basis, at what is 
 termed the tank wagon, price. The tank 
 wagon ceiling price of automotive gaso¬ 
 line is regulated by the provisions of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17 which permit 
 an increase in the tank wagon ceiling 
 prices, where there has been an increase 
 in transportation rates. Where the tank 
 wagon ceiling price is properly increased, 
 the retailer may increase his ceiling price 
 by the amount of increase in his sup¬ 
 plier’s ceiling. However, there are some 
 retailers of automotive gasoline who do 
 not purchase at the tank wagon level. 
 These retail sellers of automotive gaso¬ 
 line purchasing at the tank car level or 
 on an f. o. b. basis have been required to 
 absorb increased costs resulting from in¬ 
 creased transportation rates, although 
 they were competing with tank wagon 
 purchasers who can pass on the in¬ 
 creases. This has had a tendency to dis¬ 
 rupt price relationships in some retail 
 
 marketing areas. The corrective change 
 included in this amendment, permitting 
 an increase in prices, will have compara¬ 
 tively little effect because of the very 
 slight percentage of the total of auto¬ 
 motive gasoline sold to service stations 
 at other than tank wagon level. 
 
 The third part of this amendment re¬ 
 quires that a retail seller who has a ceil¬ 
 ing price which includes taxes incident 
 to the sale, use or delivery of a petroleum 
 product, reduce his ceiling price by the 
 amount of any reduction in these taxes. 
 Where a tax of this nature is reduced or 
 repealed, this benefit should be passed 
 on to the public upon whom the burden 
 of the tax previously rested. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment, 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization, the changes set forth 
 in these amendatory provisions are gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and are nec¬ 
 essary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 13 is amended 
 in the following respects: 
 
 1. The text of section 8 (a) (2) is 
 amended to read as follows: 
 
 (2) By adding to the tank wagon 
 ceiling price for each grade of gasoline 
 of your supplier the margin you had in 
 the base period. This method of pricing 
 can be used only if 50 percent of your 
 sales during the base period reflected 
 that margin. Having determined ceiling 
 prices by using the base period margin 
 method, you may not again use this 
 method to redetermine your ceiling price. 
 You must file these prices with the Dis¬ 
 trict Office of the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization for the District in which each 
 retail establishment is located. Your 
 filing should be as follows: 
 
 2. The text of section 9(b) is amended 
 to read as follows: 
 
 (b) By adding to your current laid- 
 down cost for each grade of gasoline 
 the margin you had in the base period. 
 This method of pricing can be used only 
 if 50 percent of your sales during the 
 base period reflected that margin. Hav¬ 
 ing determined ceiling prices by using 
 the base period margin method, you may 
 not again use this method for redeter¬ 
 mining your ceiling price. You must file 
 these prices with the District Office of 
 the Office of Price Stabilization for the 
 District in which each retail establish¬ 
 ment is located. Your filing should be 
 as follows: 
 
 3. Section 10 is amended to read as 
 follows: 
 
 Sec. 10. Increases in ceiling prices. 
 (a) You may increase your ceiling price 
 determined in accordance with any of 
 the provisions of this regulation by the 
 amount of increase in the ceiling prices 
 of your supplier which has been author¬ 
 ized by the Office of Price Stabilization. 
 
 (b) If you are not a tank wagon pur¬ 
 chaser of automotive gasoline and if you 
 incur transportation costs in distribut¬ 
 ing such product at your service stations, 
 you may increase your ceiling prices: 
 
 (1) By the amount of increase in unit 
 cost of transportation you incur as a re¬ 
 sult of transportation rate increases ef¬ 
 fective after January 25, 1951, which 
 nave been permitted by Federal or State 
 regulatory bodies or by the Office of 
 Price Stabilization. Such increases may 
 include excise taxes which are a part 
 of, or are applicable £o, such increases. 
 The higher ceiling prices may be made 
 effective as of the date of the increase 
 in transportation rate. 
 
 (2) Where transportation of product 
 in facilities which you own or control is 
 in lieu of transportation by a regulated 
 carrier, by the amount of unit increase 
 that would be permitted you in para¬ 
 graph (b) (1) cf this section, had you 
 used such regulated carrier. 
 
 <c) If you increase your ceiling prices 
 in accordance with the provisions of this 
 regulation you may round to the nearest 
 fraction of a cent per gallon in accord¬ 
 ance with your customary practices. If 
 you elect to round on one product you 
 must round all your ceiling prices in¬ 
 creased under this section to reflect de¬ 
 creases as well as increases. 
 
 (d) The provisions of paragraph (b) 
 (1) and (2) of this section may not be 
 used to increase your ceiling prices where 
 the increased transportation costs you 
 have incurred are the result of changes 
 in sources of supply. 
 
 4. Section 11 is amended by adding a 
 new paragraph designated <c) to read 
 as follows: 
 
 (c) If the taxes referred to in para¬ 
 graphs (a) and (b) of this section are 
 included in the ceiling prices you have 
 established under the provisions of this 
 regulation, and such tax is reduced or 
 repealed after January 25, 1951, you 
 must reduce your ceiling price by the 
 amount of the tax reduction. You must 
 also reduce your ceiling price by the 
 amount of the reduction in the ceiling 
 price of your supplier due to a repeal or 
 reduction of such tax.

 INTERPRETATIONS 
 CPR 13, Sec. 5 
 
 BRANDED AND UNBRANDED GASOLINE 
 Different grades for pricing purposes 
 
 Assuming that an unbranded gasoline is of the same quality as a branded gasoline, 
 or even a better quality, the question is raised as to whether a seller, who sold 
 branded regular gasoline in the base period, and now shifts to unbranded regular, 
 has a ceiling price established under section 5 for the new gasoline. 
 
 Grades of gasoline are not necessarily distinguished by the chemical contents of 
 the product. In branded products there may be some variation in quality between one 
 brand and another, and this variation could even occur within the same brand. Where 
 customary sales practices at the retail level have made the various branded gaso¬ 
 lines equivalent by virtue of equal or equivalent prices, a grade of gasoline exists 
 for the purposes of CPR 13. In most areas of United States competition, advertising 
 or other factors have resulted in creating a distinction between branded and un¬ 
 branded products. Dealers in unbranded gasoline generally are in the position that, 
 despite the chemical similarity or even superiority of their gasoline, their prices 
 have customarily been established at levels lower than those which prevailed for 
 branded. 
 
 Because of this general differentiation it is to be concluded that branded regu¬ 
 lar gasoline and unbranded regular gasoline are different grades from a pricing 
 standpoint. 
 
 Thus, where a seller, who sold branded regular gasoline in the base period sub¬ 
 sequently shifts to unbranded regular he has no ceiling price under section 5 of CPR 
 13 and should set his ceiling price in accordance with section 6, or other appro¬ 
 priate sections of the regulation.

 as amended, Executive Order 10161 (15 
 P. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 P. R.

 to Ceiling Price Regulation 13 (16 P. R. 
 2626) is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This supplementary regulation to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 13, provides a spe¬ 
 cial pricing method for retail sellers of 
 motor gasoline in Los Angeles and 
 Orange Counties of California. These 
 two counties produce 36 per cent of the 
 crude oil supply of the Pacific Coast, 
 have approximately 25 refineries repre¬ 
 senting 59 per cent of the five Western 
 states’ refining capacity, and distribute 
 gasoline through over 9,500 retail service 
 station outlets. The gasoline sold by 
 them supplies about 3.5 to 4 per cent of 
 the total United States gasoline demand, 
 and fully 35 per cent of the demand for 
 this product in the Pacific Coast states. 
 The magnitude of this operation indi¬ 
 cates that any interruption in the flow 
 of gasoline from refineries to the motor¬ 
 ing public through the medium of retail 
 establishments could be damaging to the 
 defense effort. 
 
 The coincident inauguration of price 
 control with the ending of a “price war” 
 which had been in existence in this area 
 resulted in the freezing at abnormally 
 low levels of retail margins of a large 
 segment of these retail establishments. 
 It is the purpose of this supplementary 
 regulation to restore to this segment its 
 normal margin of 4 y 2 0 per gallon on 
 regular grade gasoline, with customary 
 differentials for premium and third 
 grade gasolines. This 4 J / 2 0 margin for 
 regular grade gasoline has customarily 
 existed in this area since 1948 and while 
 it is available under present provisions 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation 13 to the ma¬ 
 jority of retail establishments in this 
 area, it is not uniform. 
 
 A survey of the area involved by the 
 Retail Advisory Committee and the Re¬ 
 gional Petroleum Consultant establishes 
 that the customary differential between 
 suppliers’ tank truck prices or dealers’ 
 
 laid down cost and the retail price is 
 4 ! / 2 0 per gallon on regular grade gaso¬ 
 line and 5 <t per gallon on premium grade. 
 Information has been secured which 
 shows that approximately 94 percent of 
 the volume in this area customarily is 
 sold at these margins. During the “price 
 war” period, however, approximately 20 
 percent of the total retailers were obliged 
 to sell at margins from 3 to 3 J / 2 0 per 
 gallon. 
 
 Inasmuch as normal margins were not 
 possible of attainment for this segment 
 in the base period and the 40 margin 
 provision available under section 8 (a) 
 (1) is not equivalent to the normal mar¬ 
 gin, the Los Angeles dealers have peti¬ 
 tioned to be relieved from the resultant 
 margin squeeze. The requested margin 
 of 4 J / 2 0 per gallon for regular grade gas¬ 
 oline compares with the average margin 
 in the United States of 4.89<* per gallon 
 as reported by the June 6, 1951 issue of 
 National Petroleum News, and compares 
 with other margins on the Pacific Coast 
 of 4.8c 1 per gallon at San Fransiseo, 50 
 per gallon at Reno, 5.50 per gallon at 
 Portland, and 50 per gallon at Spokane. 
 Not only is this margin, therefore, con¬ 
 sistent with margins in other areas of 
 the United States, but it is reasonable 
 as related to costs on the basis of in¬ 
 formation which was obtained and filed 
 in connection with the survey made by 
 the Office of Price Stabilization. 
 
 Although the survey of retail prices 
 in these counties indicated a normal re¬ 
 tail margin of 4*40 per gallon on reg¬ 
 ular grade and 50 per gallon on pre¬ 
 mium grade gasoline, petitioners have 
 asked for a spelled out margin only for 
 regular grade gasoline while for pre¬ 
 mium grade they suggest following the 
 wording of Ceiling Price Regulation 13. 
 Specifically, they ask for 4^0 per gal¬ 
 lon to be- added to the tank wagon price 
 or laid down cost for regular grade gaso¬ 
 line, plus or minus the customary retail 
 differential for premium and third grade 
 gasoline. 
 
 It is alleged by the petitioners and 
 supported by the evidence that adoption 
 of the recommendation will have no sig¬ 
 nificant effect upon the current retail 
 price level at about 90 percent of the 
 sales outlets in the Los Angeles basin. 
 The effect, however, upon sales of 6 to 
 10 percent of the volume will be to in¬ 
 crease prices to the consumers to the 
 extent of 10 to iy 2 0 per gallon. It has 
 also been alleged and supported by evi¬ 
 dence that unless ceiling price relief of 
 the type petitioned for is granted, this 
 segment of sellers will disappear from 
 the market. In recognition of the need 
 to correct the price inequity and to re¬ 
 store the customary margin of this seg¬ 
 ment of sellers in this area, this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation is issued. 
 
 FINDINGS OF THE DIRECTOR OF PRICE 
 STABILIZATION 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization, the prices estab¬ 
 lished by this supplementary regulation

 ceiling price in accordance therewith; 
 but having made such change and estab¬ 
 lished a new ceiling price in accordance

 tion by section 2 are also excepted from 
 the provisions of the General Ceiling

 lation 22. 
 
 | Section 4 amended by Amdt. 4] 
 
 Sec. 5. Exports. The ceiling price at 
 which a person may export any product 
 covered by this regulation shall be de¬ 
 termined by this regulation plus the ad¬ 
 ditions permitted for export sales of the 
 commodities covered by this regulation 
 by any applicable export regulation 
 which may hereafter be issued. 
 
 Sec. 6. Imports. Ceiling prices in this 
 regulation shall apply even though the 
 product involved originated outside of

 Sec. 7. Secret contracts. The provi¬ 
 sions of this price regulation shal 1 not

 fied as “secret” or above. 
 
 Sec. 8. Transfers of business or stock 
 in trade. If the business, assets or stock 
 in trade of any business are sold or 
 otherwise transferred after January 26, 
 1951, and the transferee carries on the 
 business, or continues to deal in the 
 same type of products, in an establish¬ 
 ment separate from any other estab¬ 
 lishment previously owned or operated 
 by him, the ceiling prices of the trans¬ 
 feree shall be the same as those to which 
 his transferor would have been subject 
 if no such transfer had taken place, and 
 his obligation to keep records sufficient 
 to verify such prices shall be the same. 
 The transferor shall either preserve and 
 make available, or turn over, to the 
 transferee all records of transactions 
 prior to the transfer which are neces¬ 
 sary to enable the transferee to comply 
 with the record provisions of this regu¬ 
 lation. If the prices for the establish¬ 
 ment are not in line with prices which 
 would be arrived at under the in-line 
 ceiling price method of Article II, the 
 transferee may nevertheless arrive at his 
 ceiling prices by use of this “in-line 
 method.” 
 
 Sec. 9. Adjustable pricing. Any per¬ 
 son may agree to sell at a price which 
 can be increased up to the ceiling price 
 in effect at the time of delivery; but no 
 person may, unless authorized by the Of¬ 
 fice of Price Stabilization, deliver at 
 prices to be adjusted upward in accord¬ 
 ance with action taken by the Director 
 after delivery. Such authorization may 
 be given when a request for a change in 
 .the applicable ceiling price is pending, 
 but only if the authorization is necessary 
 to promote distribution or production 
 and if it will not interfere with the pur¬ 
 poses of the Defense Production Act of 
 1950, as amended. The authorization 
 may be given by the Director or by any 
 official of the Office of Price Stabilization 
 to whom the authority to grant such au¬ 
 thorization has been delegated. The 
 authorization will be given by order, ex¬ 
 cept that it may be given by letter or 
 telegram when the contemplated revi¬ 
 
 sion will be the granting of an individ¬ 
 ual application for adjustment. 
 
 (Section 9 amended by Amdt. 4( 
 
 Sec. 10. Petitions for amendment. 
 Any person seeking an amendment of 
 any provision of this regulation may file 
 a petition for amendment in accordance 
 with the provisions of Price Procedural

 Sec. 11. Applications for adjustment. 
 (a) The Director of Price Stabilization 
 may adjust by order any ceiling price 
 established under this regulation for a 
 seller or group of sellers or for a general 
 area when it appears: 
 
 (1) Local shortages. 
 
 (1) That there exists or threatens to 
 exist in a particular locality a shortage 
 in the supply of a petroleum product 
 which aids directly in the present de¬ 
 fense program or is essential to a stand¬ 
 ard of living consistent with the main¬ 
 tenance of the defense program; 
 
 (ii) That such local shortage will be 
 substantially reduced or eliminated by 
 adjusting the ceiling prices of such sell¬ 
 er and of like sellers for such product; 
 and 
 
 (iii) That such adjustment will not 
 create or tend to create a shortage, or a 
 need for increase in prices, in another 
 locality, and will effectuate the purposes 
 of the Defense Production Act of 1950. 
 
 (iv) Applications for adjustment for 
 local shortages shall be filed with the 
 Petroleum Branch, Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization, Washington 25, D. C. 
 
 (2) Depressed price areas and price 
 inequities. 
 
 (i) That due to temporary conditions 
 a seller has a ceiling price which is not 
 in line with his customary pricing prac¬ 
 tice or with his customary price rela¬ 
 tionship with other sellers in the same 
 marketing area, or 
 
 (ii) That prices charged for petroleum 
 products in a particular area have cus¬ 
 tomarily followed the pattern of prices 
 in nearby or surrounding areas, but due 
 to temporary conditions ceiling prices 
 have been established by this regulation 
 which are not in line with the level of 
 prices which would have prevailed had 
 the area been free to adjust itself to 
 normal conditions. 
 
 (b) The seller in applying under (a) 
 
 (2) (i) or (a) (2) (ii) above shall show 
 to the satisfaction of the Director: 
 
 (1) -The basis upon which it is con¬ 
 cluded that the ceiling prices are below 
 normal, with a statement of how long 
 the inequity has been in existence. 
 
 (2) The ceiling prices proposed. 
 
 (3) Information supporting why the 
 proposed ceiling prices would be normal. 
 
 (4) A statement that the proposed 
 ceiling prices will be in line with the leJtel 
 of ceiling prices otherwise established by 
 the regulation. 
 
 (5) Applications for adjustment for 
 depressed price areas and price inequi¬ 
 ties shall be filed with the Petroleum 
 Branch, Office of Price Stabilization, 
 Washington 25, D. C. 
 
 (c) Government contracts. Any per¬ 
 son who has entered into or proposes to 
 enter into a contract with an agency of 
 the United States Government who be¬ 
 lieves that a ceiling price contained in 
 
 this regulation impedes or threatens to 
 impede production, manufacture or dis¬ 
 tribution of a commodity essential to 
 the defense program may file an appli¬ 
 cation for adjustment with the Pe¬ 
 troleum Branch, Office of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation, Washington 25. D. C. 
 
 Sec. 12. Price revisions incident to or¬ 
 ders establishing specific prices. The 
 Director of Price Stabilization may by 
 supplementary regulation or by special 
 order establish specific ceiling prices or 
 otherwise modify the provisions of this 
 regulation with respect to certain prod¬ 
 ucts, transactions or geographical area. 
 
 |Section 12 amended by Amdt. 4] 
 
 Sec. 13. Shifts which must be reported. 
 Where a seller has established a ceiling 
 price on a delivered-at-destination basis 
 at a given point for a particular petro¬ 
 leum product to a purchaser and there¬ 
 after sells such purchaser on an f. o. b. 
 shipping point price basis, he shall report 
 such shift to the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization within thirty days after the 
 date such sale is made if the effect of 
 selling on an f. o. b. shipping point price 
 basis is to increase the laid-down cost 
 to the purchaser above the seller’s de¬ 
 livered-at-destination ceiling price to 
 such purchaser. However, a seller may 
 not shift to an f. o. b. shipping point 
 price basis unless he has an f. o. b. ship¬ 
 ping point ceiling price properly deter¬ 
 mined under the appropriate provisions 
 of this regulation. The Director of Price 
 Stabilization may by special order modi¬ 
 fy the terms and provisions applicable to 
 such sales when in his judgment, the re¬ 
 ported shift constitutes an evasion of the 
 purposes of this regulation. 
 
 (Section 13 amended by Amdt. 4J 
 
 Sec. 14. Records, (a) The following 
 records must be preserved and kept 
 available for examination by the Direc¬ 
 tor of Price Stabilization:

 showing the prices charged by him for 
 the petroleum products which he sold 
 or offered for sale in the base period. In 
 addition, the seller must prepare within 
 90 days after the effective date of this 
 regulation and preserve a .statement of 
 any of his customary allowances, dis¬ 
 counts, and other price differentials. 
 
 (2) Records indicating clearly the 
 basis upon which the seller determined 
 the celling price for any petroleum prod¬ 
 uct not sold or offered for sale by him 
 during the base period. 
 
 (3) Records, for a period of .vo years, 
 of the kind the seller customarily keeps, 
 showing the prices which the seller 
 charges on sales of products covered by 
 this regulation 
 
 (b) Compliance with these record 
 keeping provisions shall be deemed com¬ 
 pliance with the record keeping require¬ 
 ments of the General Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation during tho period when petroleum 
 products were covered by that regula¬ 
 tion. 
 
 Sec. 15. Compliance with this regula¬ 
 tion required, (a) Prohibitions against 
 selling or delivery of petroleum products 
 at prices above the ceiling. On and after 
 the effective date of this regulation re¬ 
 gardless of any contract or other obllga- 
 
81 Trans 34:C3 
 
 tion, no person shall sell or deliver and 
 no person shall buy or receive in the 
 i course of trade or business any petroleum 
 product covered by t’.is ’"'gulation at 
 prices higher than the ceiling prices 
 fixed by this regulation, and no person 
 shall agree, offer, solicit, or attempt to 
 do anything prohit'ted by this section. 
 Prices lower than the ceiling prices may 
 be charged, demanded, paid, or offered.

 tablished by this regulation shall not be 
 evaded either by direct or indirect meth¬ 
 ods in connection with the purchase, 
 sale, delivery or transfer of petroleum 
 products alone or in conjunction with 
 any other materials, or by way of any 
 commission, service, transportation, or 
 any other charge, or discount, premium 
 or other privilege, or by tie-in agree¬ 
 ment or other trade understanding, or 
 bj a change in the quality of the prod¬ 
 uct, or otherwise, except when such 
 change in quality results from order of 
 an agency of the United States Govern¬ 
 ment.

 ^ ernment, or any of its political subdivi- 
 sions, or any agency of any of the fore¬ 
 going. 
 
 (b) “Product of the same grade.” 
 For a product of a particular seller to

 products are sold. 
 
 (c) " Contract ” means an agreement,

 lished by a seller, regardless of the type 
 or size, of equipment that may be used 
 for making deliveries, as distinguished 
 from the retail service station price, or 
 the ‘tank car” price, or other large lot 
 quantity price levels. • The tank wagon 
 price is a delivered-at-destination price. 
 However, if at a particular bulk plant or 
 terminal the operator had a tank wagon 
 price to consumers who picked up their 
 supply at such bulk plant or terminal 
 then the operator thereof may continue 
 to charge or offer the tank wagon price 
 to consumers at the particular bulk 
 plant or terminal. 
 
 (f) “Retail establishment” means a 
 store, shop, garage, service station (land 
 or marine) or other stationary place of

 Atomic Energy Commission. 
 
 (h> “Defense contract" means any

 (i) “Subcontract” means any purchase 
 order, or agreement to perform all or 
 any part of the work required under a 
 defense contract or to make or furnish 
 any commodity needed for the perform¬ 
 ance of a defense contract. 
 
 (j) “Delivery point” for sales made at 
 the tank wagon price level whenever 
 referred to in this regulation means the 
 customary tank wagon price area of the 
 seller. If a seller customarily maintains 
 different price areas within the area cus¬ 
 tomarily supplied from a bulk or distrib¬ 
 uting plant, such price areas being re¬ 
 flected by the seller on a stated price or 
 differential basis, then each such price 
 area shall be interpreted as a delivery 
 point and the ceiling price of each seller 
 in each such price area shall reflect his 
 customary differentials or differences in 
 prices. 
 
 (k) “Offering price.” The price at 
 which a product was offered means the 
 price shown in the seller’s price list, or 
 if a particular price was not included 
 therein, or if he had no price list, the 
 price at which he offered products in any 
 other written manner. Such prices shall 
 be subject to seller’s customary allow¬ 
 ances, discounts, and price differentials. 
 
 (l) “Sale.” This term for purposes of 
 using the “ceiling price based on sales” 
 method of Article II shall include: 
 
 (1) Sales in the base period pursuant 
 to oral or written contracts, including 
 spot sales, made during such period. 
 
 (2) Written contracts made during 
 the base period whether or not any de¬ 
 liveries were made thereunder, and 
 written contracts made during the period 
 June 1, 1950, to December 19, 1950, in¬ 
 clusive. under which no deliveries were 
 made in the base period but which pro¬ 
 vided for performance to begin during 
 o after the base period. 
 
 (3) Deliveries made during the base 
 period under a contract made between 
 June 1, 1950, and December 19, 1950, if 
 such contracts were adjustable to reflect 
 market conditions during the base pe¬ 
 riod, or in the case of tank wagon re¬ 
 sellers if such contracts provided for 
 varying the price to the reseller in ac¬ 
 cordance with a stipulated posted mar¬ 
 ket price (or prices) at the point or 
 points where such buyer resells. 
 
 Provided, however, that in all cases de¬ 
 liveries made in the base period under 
 contracts entered into prior to June 1, 
 1950, shall not be considered as a “sale,” 
 unless the buyer and seller agree to con¬ 
 tinue such contracts, in which case the 
 ceiling price may be established on the 
 basis of such contracts. 
 
 (m) “Purchaser of same class” refers 
 to the practice adopted by the seller in 
 setting different prices for a product for 
 sales to purchasers performing different 
 functions (for example, refiner; job¬ 
 ber; distributor, commercial, industrial 
 or private consumer; service station tank 
 car dealer; divided or undivided tank 
 wagon dealer; etc.), or for purchasers 
 performing the same functions but lo¬ 
 cated in different areas, or buying in 
 different quantities or grades or under 
 different conditions of sale. Price is 
 prima facie evidence but not conclusive 
 evidence to be considered in determining 
 if a purchaser belongs to a particular 
 class; however, a lower price to a par¬ 
 ticular purchaser which was to meet 
 competition and was otherwise incon¬ 
 sistent with the seller’s practice in set¬ 
 ting the same price to purchasers in 
 the same functional class shall neither 
 result in placing the particular pur¬ 
 chaser in a lower price class nor be con¬ 
 sidered in determining a seller’s ceiling 
 price. 
 
 (n) “ Posted purchase price” means a 
 price schedule posted by a purchaser 
 who, during the period December 19, 
 1950, to January 25, 1951, inclusive, ac¬ 
 tually purchased any of the products 
 covered in Sec. 23 produced from any 
 field, or delivered or tendered by a nat¬ 
 ural gasoline or cycling plant operator, 
 refiner, blender, reseller or any other 
 person and to which purchase the posted 
 price was applicable. 
 
 (o) “ Natural gas,” “petroleum gas ” 
 “casinghead gas" and “refinery gas ” as 
 used in this regulation means any nat¬ 
 ural or petroleum gas which is sold to 
 be processed for the extraction of vapors 
 and liquids, or for consumption either 
 directly as fuel or to be consumed in the 
 production of any other commodity or 
 for use in gas lift, pressure maintenance 
 or repressuring operations, and includes 
 such gas when delivered directly from 
 wells, and the residue gas resulting from 
 extraction operations.

 The ceiling price for each seller at each 
 shipping or delivery point shall be the 
 highest price charged at that point by 
 him during the period December 19, 
 1950, to January 25, 1951, inclusive, for 
 a sale of a particular grade of natural 
 gasoline to a purchaser of the same class. 
 
 (2) Ceiling price based on offering 
 price. If a seller is unable to determine 
 a ceiling price under (1), the ceiling 
 price for such seller at each shipping or 
 delivery point shall be the highest offer¬ 
 ing price at the shipping or delivery 
 point during the period December 19, 
 1950, to January 25, 1951, for a sale of a 
 particular grade of natural gasoline to a 
 purchaser of the same class. 
 
 (3) Ceiling price based on competitive 
 or in-line ceiling price. 
 
 (i) Ceiling price of another seller 
 When a seller at a given shipping or de¬ 
 livery point is unable to determine a 
 ceiling price for natural gasoline under 
 (1) or (2) above, his ceiling price at the 
 particular shipping or delivery point 
 shall be the highest ceiling price of any 
 seller of the same class to a purchaser 
 of the same class for the same shipping 
 or delivery point. This method of de¬ 
 termining a ceiling price cannot be used 
 unless the seller’s records show that for 
 the purpose of such sale he has adopted 
 as his ceiling, the ceiling price of such 
 other seller. 
 
 (ii) In-line ceiling price. If under 
 this method (i) of pricing a seller arrives 
 at a ceiling price for natural gasoline 
 which is not in line with the price he 
 would have arrived at by use of his cus¬ 
 tomary pricing practices in the same 
 general area during the base period De¬ 
 cember 19, 1950, to January 25, 1951, he 
 may nevertheless sell at a price in line 
 with his price for the product at other 
 comparable points which reflects his 
 customary pricing practices. The seller 
 shall within 15 days after making a sale 
 file this in- line price with the Petroleum 
 Branch, Office of Price Stabilization, 
 Washington, D. C., stating his proposed 
 ceiling price and in what way the ceiling 
 price determined according to the price 
 of a competitive seller of the same class 
 is inconsistent-with the customary pric¬ 
 ing practices of the seller. Such price 
 shall be the seller’s ceiling price for the 
 particular product unless it is disap¬ 
 proved in writing or a substitute price is 
 
 established by the Office of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation. A ceiling price established un¬ 
 der this section may be changed at any 
 time by order of the Office of Price 
 Stabilization.

 tion 28 of this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 23a. Natural gas. petroleum gas. 
 casinghead gas 'and refinery gas. — (a) 
 Exemption. Nothing in this section 
 shall be construed to authorize the reg¬ 
 ulation of a rate that is exempt from 
 control by the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion under the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950. 
 
 (b) Specific prices. In cases where 
 there were published rate schedules, or 
 offering prices, of a seller during or 
 within one year prior to the base period, 
 then the highest of such published rates 
 or prices shall be the ceiling prices of 
 the seller as to the classes of purchasers 
 to whom such rate schedules or offering 
 prices relate in any particular market or 
 producing area. In order for a seller to 
 price under this section his published 
 rates, or offering prices, shall be filed 
 with the Petroleum Branch of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization, Washington 25, 
 D. C., on or before May 15, 1951. 
 
 (c) Formula prices—(l) Ceiling prices 
 based on sales. In the absence of a spe¬ 
 cific price determined under paragraph 
 (b) of this section, the ceiling price for 
 each seller at each delivery point in a 
 particular market or producing area 
 shall be the highest price charged by him 
 in such particular market or producing 
 area during the period December 19, 
 1950, to January 25, 1951, inclusive, for 
 a sale of a particular type of gas to a 
 purchaser of the same class. In the 
 case of sales of natural gas, petroleum 
 gas, casinghead gas, and refinery gas, 
 the definition of sale contained in the 
 definitions section of this regulation 
 shall not apply. For these products sale 
 shall include: 
 
 (i) Sales in the base period pursuant 
 to oral or written contracts, including 
 spot sales, made during such period. 
 
 (ii) (Deleted) 
 
 [Subdivision (ii) deleted by Amdt. 4| 
 
 (iii) Written contracts made in the 
 base period whether or not any deliveries 
 were made thereunder, and written con¬ 
 tracts made during the period June 1, 
 1950, to December 18, 1950, inclusive, un¬ 
 der which no deliveries were made in the 
 base period but which provided for per¬ 
 formance to begin during or after the 
 base period. 
 
 (iv) Deliveries made during the base 
 period under a written contract made 
 prior to December 19, 1950, and after 
 June 1, 1950, if the prices reflected cur¬ 
 rent market conditions. 
 
 (2) Existing contracts, (i) Where a 
 buyer and seller have entered into a con¬ 
 tract prior to January 25, 1951 such con¬ 
 tract may be carried out in accordance 
 with its terms, notwithstanding any 
 other provisions of this regulation. 
 
 (ii) All long term written contracts 
 in effect in the base period may be used, 
 in accordance with the terms of such 
 contracts, as the basis for determining 
 ceiling prices for all purchasers of the 
 same class notwithstanding the provi¬ 
 
 sions of subparagraph (1) of this para¬ 
 graph. 
 
 [Subparagraph (2) amended by Amdt. 4J 
 
 (3) Competitive or in-line ceiling 
 ■price —(i) Ceding price of another seller. 
 When a seller at a given shipping or de¬ 
 livery point is unable to determine a ceil¬ 
 ing price for a particular gas under 
 subparagraph (1) of this paragraph or 
 in cases falling under subparagraph (2) 
 the seller does not choose to determine 
 his ceiling under subparagraph (2), his 
 ceiling price at the delivery point shall 
 be the highest ceiling price of any seller 
 of the same class for gas of the particu¬ 
 lar type to a purchaser of the same class 
 in the same market or producing area. 
 This method of determining a ceiling 
 price cannot be used unless the seller’s 
 records show that for the purpose of 
 such sale he has adopted as his ceiling 
 the ceiling price of such other seller un¬ 
 der similar contract terms. 
 
 [Subdivision (1) amended by Amdt. 4] 
 
 (ii) In-line ceiling price. If under 
 this method (3) (i) of pricing, a seller 
 arrives at a ceiling price for a particular 
 gas which is not in line with the price 
 he would have arrived at by use of his 
 customary pricing practices in the same 
 market or producing area during the 
 base period December 19, 1950, to Janu¬ 
 ary 25, 1951, he may nevertheless sell at 
 a price in line with his price for the 
 particular gas at other comparable points 
 which reflects his customary pricing 
 practices. The seller shall within 15 
 days after making a sale file this in-line 
 price with the Petroleum Branch, Office 
 of Price Stabilization, Washington 25. 
 D. C., stating his proposed ceiling price 
 and in what way the ceiling price deter¬ 
 mined according to the price of a com¬ 
 petitive seller of the same class is 
 inconsistent with the customary pricing 
 practices of the seller. Such price shall 
 be the seller’s ceiling price for the par¬ 
 ticular product unless it is disapproved 
 in writing or a substitute price is estab¬ 
 lished by the Office of Price Stabilization. 
 A ceiling price established under this 
 section may be changed at any time by 
 order of the Office of Price Stabilization.

 same class. 
 
 (2) Ceiling price based on offering

 price at the particular shipping or de¬ 
 livery point shall be the highest ceiling 
 price of any seller of the same class to a

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 as amended. Executive Order 10161 (15 
 F. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Amendment 5 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 17 adds a new section to Article 
 III, fixing the terms under which deposit 
 charges may be made on steel contain¬ 
 ers. This new section is the same as the 
 deposit section in Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 63 covering lubricating oils and 
 greases and similar to the deposit sec¬ 
 tion in Ceiling Price Regulation 66 cov¬ 
 ering asphaltic products. While gaso¬ 
 lines, naphthas and distillates are sold 
 less frequently in containers than are 
 lubricating oils and greases, sales of 
 products covered by Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 17 in containers are quite extensive 
 in certain areas and to certain classes 
 of purchasers. 
 
 During the early history of the Office of 
 Price Stabilization, when Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17 was being written, it v/as 
 intended to include a section dealing 
 with container deposit charges. How¬ 
 ever, such a section was intentionally 
 omitted from the final draft because the 
 Agency policy on deposit arrangements 
 had not been fully developed. Consul¬ 
 tations with members of industry were 
 still in process at that time for the pur¬ 
 pose of developing a deposit arrangement 
 which would be most satisfactory and 
 workable. 
 
 The advantages of having a deposit 
 arrangement for steel containers are 
 well recognized in the marketing of pe¬ 
 troleum products. Early in the defense 
 program the scarcity of steel containers 
 was an increasingly serious problem. It 
 became imperative months ago that 
 drums be returned to sellers as rapidly 
 as possible in order that petroleum 
 products could be distributed by cus¬ 
 tomary methods and in adequate volume. 
 In August 1951 this Agency issued Gen¬ 
 eral Interpretation 2 which permitted 
 marketers not only to retain deposit 
 arrangements which were in effect in the 
 base period but also to institute deposit 
 charges in cases where none had been in 
 effect in the base period. 
 
 While marketers of petroleum prod¬ 
 ucts are permitted, therefore, to utilize 
 deposit arrangements, the terms thereof 
 are not specific when related to products 
 covered by Ceiling Price Regulation 17. 
 To reduce the administrative burden on 
 the Office of Price Stabilization Regional 
 and District Offices and to remove the 
 uncertainty on the part of sellers as to 
 whether their deposit arrangements con¬ 
 form to the conditions of General Inter¬ 
 pretation 2, Ceiling Price Regulation 17 
 is amended to specify the terms of de¬ 
 posit arrangements applicable to prod¬ 
 ucts subject to this regulation. The 
 new section also prescribes the ceiling 
 price adjustment required when sellers 
 shift from a non-returnable to a return¬ 
 able drum basis. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment, 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable. As mentioned above, when 
 the formal Industry Advisory Committee 
 discussed the provisions of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17, the deposit problem was 
 studied, and consideration has been 
 given the recommendations made at that 
 time. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization, the provisions of this 
 amendment are generally fair and equi¬ 
 table and are necessary to effectuate the 
 purposes of Title IV of the Defense Pro¬ 
 duction Act. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17 is amended 
 in the following respect: 
 
 A new section 27a is added immedi¬ 
 ately following section 27 to read as 
 follows:

 Any seller subject to the provisions of 
 this regulation may place deposit 
 charges not to exceed the following 
 amounts on the enumerated shipping 
 containers, not including I. C. C. 5 or 
 5B drums. Such deposit charges shall 
 be subject to the seller’s customary prac¬ 
 tice with respect to condition of drum 
 and time allowed for return: 
 
 55-gallon or 400-pound, 16-20-gauge

 (b) Reduction in ceiling price when 
 shifting from a non-returnable to a re¬ 
 turnable drum basis. Any seller who 
 during the base period sold on a non- 
 returnable drum basis and subsequent to 
 the base period shifts to a .returnable 
 drum basis shall deduct at least the fol¬ 
 lowing amounts from his ceiling prices 
 to his purchasers in all States except 
 California, Washington and Oregon. 
 
 55-gallon or 400-pound, 16-20-gauge 
 
 steel drum_$1. 75

 tional $0.25. 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50 U. S. C. 
 App. 2154) 
 
 Effective date. This amendment to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17 shall become

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order

 Agency General Order No. 2, this amend¬ 
 ment to Ceiling Price Regulation 17 is 
 heieby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment excludes from the 
 coverage of Ceiling Price Regulation 17 
 the territories and possessions of the 
 United States. This will place the sales 
 of these petroleum products in the ter¬ 
 ritories and possessions under the pro¬ 
 visions of Ceiling Price Regulation 9 
 which was specifically written to cover 
 sales of all types of commodities within 
 the territories and possessions of the 
 United States. 
 
 When Ceiling Price Regulation 17 was 
 issued, it was considered to be a workable 
 
 ceiling price regulation for the territories 
 and possessions as well as the Continen¬ 
 tal United States. However, because 
 most of its provisions were designed to 
 meet marketing conditions as they 
 existed within the 48 States experience 
 has proved this expectation incorrect. 
 For example, Ceiling Price Regulation 17 
 has already had to be amended to meet 
 specific problems that arose in Puerto 
 Rico and the Virgin Islands. Territorial 
 problems have arisen under CPR 17 be¬ 
 cause most of the petroleum products 
 used in places like Virgin Islands and 
 Puerto Rico are imported into these is¬ 
 lands from foreign countries and by 
 means of foreign-owned transportation 
 facilities. 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 9, on the 
 other hand, was tailored to insure a 
 maximum of price stabilization com¬ 
 mensurate with the physical location, 
 economic problems and marketing prac¬ 
 tices of the territories and possessions. 
 Transfer of sales of petroleum products 
 in the territories and possessions from 
 CPR 17 to CPR 9 not only is expected 
 to solve most of the industry’s currently 
 pressing price problems but will also be 
 more convenient both for OPS and the 
 industry. 
 
 The Director of Price Stabilization has 
 consulted with trade association repre¬ 
 sentatives and members of the industry 
 affected by this suDplementary regula¬ 
 
 tion and consideration has been given 
 to the information and suggestions re¬ 
 ceived from them.

 AREA ADJUSTMENT OF TANK WAGON CEILING 
 PRICES OF FUEL OIL DISTRIBUTORS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 amendment to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 17 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 17 provides for area adjustments 
 of the ceiling prices of tank wagon dis¬ 
 tributors of heating oils in a retail mar¬ 
 keting area when the net margins of 
 these distributors are reduced to such 
 an extent that their earnings fall below 
 the level of their earnings in the year 
 ended May 31, 1950. 
 
 While it does not appear that distrib¬ 
 utors’ gross margins are less than those 
 required by section 402 (k) of the De¬ 
 fense Production Act, distributors in cer¬ 
 tain retail marketing areas have sub¬ 
 mitted data to show that increased costs 
 have substantially reduced their net 
 earnings. The industry earnings stand¬ 
 ard, the basic standard by which OPS 
 measures the need for ceiling price ad¬ 
 justments, provides that relief may be 
 considered if an industry can show that 
 its current earnings are less than 85 per¬ 
 cent of its earnings in the best three of 
 the four years 1946-1949. 
 
 Experience has demonstrated that the 
 industry earnings standard is difficult to 
 apply in the wholesaling and retailing 
 of heating oil. There are many thou¬ 
 sands of heating oil marketers at the 
 tank wagon level—too many to consider 
 in one data collection project. More¬ 
 over, the need and the scope of relief re¬ 
 quired are not uniform, and may be very 
 different in one area than in another. 
 Consequently it appears preferable in 
 this case to provide for adjustments on 
 
 an area rather than an industry wise ba¬ 
 sis. In addition, the bookkeeping rec¬ 
 ords of many of these heating oil job¬ 
 bers are entirely inadequate to supply 
 the information for the years 1946-1949 
 required for a direct application of the 
 industry earnings standard. Analysis of 
 available data shows that the granting 
 of area adjustments on the basis of earn¬ 
 ings in the year ended May 31, 1950, as 
 provided in this amendment, will yield 
 results in this field consistent with re¬ 
 sults that would be obtained by use of 
 the industry earnings standard. This 
 approach is adopted as the best means 
 of measuring the relief to be granted in 
 the absence of complete data for the 
 years 1946-1949. 
 
 A reporting form is provided for use 
 by the heating oil distributors requiring 
 the submission of income data for the 
 base period year and comparative data 
 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1952. 
 
 In the formulation of this amend¬ 
 ment there has been consultation with 
 industry representatives, including trade 
 association representatives, and consid¬ 
 eration has been given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the method of ceil¬ 
 ing price adjustment established by this 
 amendment is generally fair and equita¬ 
 ble and is consistent with the purpose 
 of Title TV of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 11 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 17 is amended by adding a new para¬ 
 graph (d) to read as follows: 
 
 (d) Area adjustments of tank wagon 
 ceiling prices for fuel oil distributors. 
 The Director of Price Stabilization may 
 adjust the tank wagon ceiling prices for 
 Heating Oils (kerosene, No. 1 and No. 2 
 Oil, Furnace Oil, Range Oil and Stove 
 Oil) sold by tank wagon distributors in 
 a retail marketing area when the net 
 margins of such distributors in the area 
 are insufficient to maintain their level 
 of earnings in the fiscal year ended May 
 31; 1950. Such area adjustment shall 
 be made only after sufficient informa¬ 
 tion has been received for comparison of 
 current earnings with the earnings of 
 the fiscal year ended May 31, 1950. Ap¬ 
 plications for area adjustments shall be 
 filed with the OPS District Office hav¬ 
 
 ing jurisdiction over the area for which 
 an adjustment is requested. The data 
 supporting such an application shall 
 then be filed on OPS Public Form No. 
 151 which will be furnished by the OPS 
 District Office when OPS determines 
 that a survey of the area is appropriate. 
 Application for the institution of an 
 area survey shall be filed with the OPS 
 District or Regional Office having juris¬ 
 diction over the majority of the popula¬ 
 tion of the area for which adjustment 
 is requested. Such applications shall 
 contain the following information: 
 
 (1) Name and address. 
 
 (2) Type of operation, e. g., bulk plant, 
 tank-wagon distributor, etc. 
 
 (3) A statement identifying the ap¬ 
 plication as one made under CPR 17, 
 Arndt. 7. 
 
 (4) An identification of the market 
 area for which you believe a ceiling price 
 adjustment to be necessary. 
 
 (5) Gallonage of light fuel oils deliv¬ 
 ered at tank wagon level in the periods 
 June 1949-May 1950 and June 1951- 
 May 1952 showing separately, for each 
 period, the gallonage delivered to resell¬ 
 ers and to ultimate consumers. 
 
 (6) Net operating income derived from 
 the sale of light fuel oils in each of the 
 periods specified in subparagraph (5) of 
 this paragraph. 
 
 (7) A statement as to why you believe 
 an area ceiling price adjustment to be 
 necessary for the market area identified 
 in subparagraph (4) of this paragraph. 
 This statement should be based upon in¬ 
 formation readily available to you; any 
 systematic collection of data from other 
 firms will, where needed, be done by OPS 
 and should not be undertaken by an ap¬ 
 plicant under this section. 
 
 If OPS determines that an area survey is 
 appropriate, the survey will be conducted 
 by the use of OPS Public Form 151.

 Effective date. This amendment shall 
 become effective August 13, 1952. 
 
 Note: The reporting requirements of this 
 amendment have been approved by the Bu¬ 
 reau of the Budget In accordance with the 
 Federal Reports Act of 1942.

 AMENDING PROVISIONS OF SECTION 23A TO 
 PREVENT INCREASES IN GENERAL LEVELS OF 
 AREA CEILING PRICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 as amended. Executive Order 10161 (15 
 F. R. 6105i, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738). this amendment to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17 <16 F. R. 3033) is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Price provisions in many contracts for 
 the purchase of natural gas from pro¬ 
 ducers and gatherers contain escalator 
 clauses calling for increases in prices at 
 stated intervals or under stated condi¬ 
 tions. For reasons set forth in the State¬ 
 ment of Considerations accompanying 
 Amendment 1 to CPR 17 (effective April 
 16, 1951), the regulation permitted the 
 operation of such escalator clauses in 
 contracts in existence prior to January 
 25, 1951, the date of price control, ana 
 permitted the escalated prices to be used 
 by other sellers in establishing competi¬ 
 tive and in-line ceiling prices. It also 
 permitted the operation of so-called 
 "favored nation" clauses, which bind 
 buyers who pay an increased price to one 
 of their sellers to pay an increased price 
 to some or all of their other sellers. 
 
 The large scale financing of gas pro¬ 
 duction and interstate pipe lines was 
 based in some measure on contracts call¬ 
 ing for initially low prices subject to 
 escalation. For that reason the Director 
 has concluded that fairness to both buy¬ 
 ers and sellers and stability in the indus¬ 
 
 try make it desirable to continue to per¬ 
 mit the unfettered operation of such of 
 those contracts as were executed prior to 
 the imposition of price control. How¬ 
 ever, to permit sellers who did not base 
 their planning and operations on such 
 contracts to use them by reference to 
 secure prices higher than the general 
 levels of ceiling prices, which levels are 
 generally fair and equitable, would be 
 incompatible with the stabilization pro¬ 
 gram. Therefore, since it now appears 
 that escalator clauses calling for prices 
 higher than the current general level ol 
 ceiling prices will shortly take effect, this 
 amendment to CPR 17 is issued. 
 
 The amendment permits the escalator 
 clauses in contracts entered into prior 
 to or during the base period to operate. 
 At the same time it prevents escalator 
 clauses from establishing ceiling prices 
 higher than base period ceilings for any 
 sales other than those made under the 
 particular contracts containing such 
 clauses. It does this by limiting the use 
 of "most favored nation” clauses in con¬ 
 tracts and the use of the in-lining pro¬ 
 visions of section 23a <c) of CPR 17 to 
 those instances where their use will not 
 result in piercing the general area ceil¬ 
 ing, which is the highest price for com¬ 
 parable sales of gas during the base 
 period. 
 
 This amendment has the further effect 
 of preventing sellers from in-lining their 
 prices with sellers whose prices may be 
 increased pursuant to state minimum 
 price regulations. While OPS is required 
 to recognize such minimum prices as 
 ceilings under section 402 (1) of the De¬ 
 fense Production Act, it need not and 
 should not give the regulations or orders 
 establishing minimum prices greater 
 scope than the state itself does. This 
 is especially true since those regulations 
 and orders are based on state purposes 
 and policies not necessarily consonant 
 with those of the Defense Production 
 Act. 
 
 In the formulation of this amend¬ 
 ment there has been consultation with 
 industry representatives, and considera¬ 
 
 tion has been given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization ceiling prices estab¬ 
 lished by this amendment will be gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and consistent 
 with the purpose of Title IV of the De¬ 
 fense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS

 ed in the following respects: 
 
 1. Section 23a (c) (2) <i) is amended 
 to read as follows: 
 
 (2' Existing contracts. <i> Where a 
 buyer and seller have entered into a 
 contract prior to January 25, 1951 such 
 contract may be carried out in accord¬ 
 ance with its terms, except that no term 
 of any such contract providing for an 
 increase in price based on an increase 
 in price under any other contract, may 
 be carried out if to carry it out will 
 result in a price above the highest price 
 paid during the base period for gas of 
 the same particular type by a purchaser

 TRANSPORTATION AND TAXES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 9 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 17 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 The accompanying amendment to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17 clarifies the 
 section dealing with transportation and 
 also makes certain increases in ceiling 
 prices permissible where transportation 
 factors would otherwise disrupt normal 
 industry practice. 
 
 Some difficulties have arisen under 
 the regulation because of the stipulation 
 that increases in ceiling prices shall not 
 be in excess of increased transportation 
 costs actually incurred. Strict adher¬ 
 ence to this provision necessitates elab¬ 
 orate and burdensome accounting proce¬ 
 dures where inventories were on hand 
 before the transportation increase oc¬ 
 curred. This amendment permits the 
 ceiling price to reflect increased trans¬ 
 portation costs as of the day the trans¬ 
 portation increases are effective or on 
 the effective date of this regulation if 
 the transportation increase has already 
 become effective. 
 
 The transportation section was not 
 intended to permit increased ceiling 
 prices based on higher transportation 
 rates on crude or semi-finished stocks. 
 The language of the amendment specifi¬ 
 cally excludes such increases as a basis 
 of increasing ceiling prices. However, 
 it is recognized that certain sellers must 
 be permitted to reflect increases in in¬ 
 bound freight rates if a disruptive effect 
 on the market is not to result. The great 
 percentage of he products covered by 
 this regulation are produced and sold 
 by the major integrated petroleum com¬ 
 panies. The transportation costs in¬ 
 curred by these sellers in the main are 
 for outbound transportation. However, 
 some blenders and resellers who must 
 purchase their blending stocks or fin¬ 
 ished materials from these integrated 
 companies incur inbound freight costs. 
 The inbound freight they incur parallels 
 the outbound freight of the integrated 
 producers, who account for the greater 
 part of the production, and who are in 
 competition with the smaller independ¬ 
 
 ent resellers and blenders. To permit 
 these smaller operators to retain their 
 customary price relationship with those 
 sellers supplying the bulk of these prod¬ 
 ucts, Ceiling Price Regulation 17 has 
 permitted inbound freight increases on 
 finished products as a basis for increased 
 ceilings. This amendment extends this 
 permission for these same reasons to 
 those few sellers who incur inbound 
 freight on productsyto be blended or 
 further refined. 
 
 In the marketing of petroleum there 
 are many instances where the market 
 price of a product at a delivery point, 
 while reflecting some elements of trans¬ 
 portation, will not reflect the exact 
 amount of freight that the individual 
 seller incurs in making delivery to that 
 point. Thus, a particular seller may 
 use his freight cost in shipping product 
 to one point in a pricing area for estab¬ 
 lishing prices throughout the pricing 
 area. Again the seller may have had 
 to absorb some freight because he has 
 sold at a market price based on product 
 shipped from a basing point. Converse¬ 
 ly, he may have had an advantage in 
 selling in a market where the price re¬ 
 flected freight from a point farther than 
 his point of supply. In another situ¬ 
 ation a seller's market price may cus¬ 
 tomarily reflect the rates for a means 
 of transportation other than the means 
 he actually uses, but which is the means 
 normally used by most other sellers in 
 that area. In order to maintain the 
 stability of the market this regulation 
 permits increases in ceiling prices based 
 on the amount of increases in the trans¬ 
 portation rate customarily used by the 
 seller as a factor in his price if his base 
 period prices reflected such customary 
 rate. In this way sellers may not in¬ 
 crease their ceiling prices more than 
 they would have in ordinary practice, 
 nor would those who had no or a lesser 
 increase in transportation rates find 
 themselves with ceiling prices that do 
 not reflect their customary price rela¬ 
 tionship with other sellers in the market. 
 
 Instances have come to the attention 
 of the Office of Puce Stabilization where 
 sellers have undertaken to raise ceiling 
 prices because of a shift from a normal 
 method of transportation or normal 
 source of supply to a higher cost method 
 of transportation or a source of supply 
 incurring a higher transportation cost. 
 It was not intended to provide for ad¬ 
 justment of ceiling prices because of cost 
 increases resulting from shifts in source 
 of supply. It is stated explicity in the 
 amendment that such abnormal supply 
 situations do not qualify the seller for 
 an increase in his ceiling prices under the 
 transportation section of the regulation. 
 
 The section of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 17 dealing with taxes is amended to re¬ 
 quire a reduction of ceiling prices cor¬ 
 
 responding to tax reduction where ceiling 
 prices include taxes, as well as permit¬ 
 ting ceiling prices to increase where 
 taxes are increased. 
 
 In the formulation of this amend¬ 
 ment there has been consultation with 
 industry representatives, including trade 
 association representatives, to the ex¬ 
 tent practicable, and consideration has 
 been given to their recommendations. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the changes set forth 
 in these amendatory provisions are gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and are neces¬ 
 sary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 
 1950, as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 1. Section 25 of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 17 is amended to read as follows: 
 
 Sec. 25. Transportation, (a) A seller 
 may add to the applicable ceiling prices' 
 determined under other sections of this 
 regulation an amount calculated in ac¬ 
 cordance with whichever of the follow¬ 
 ing three methods conforms to his cus¬ 
 tomary practice in the base period : 
 
 (1) A seller may add the increase in 
 his unit cost resulting from transporta¬ 
 tion rate increases after January 25, 
 1951 permitted by Federal or State regu¬ 
 latory bodies or by the Office of Price 
 Stabilization. Such increases may in¬ 
 clude excise taxes, which are a part of 
 or are applicable to the increase. If the 
 increase in transportation rates occurs 
 after the effective date of this regula¬ 
 tion the higher ceiling prices may be 
 made effective on or after the day that 
 the increased transportation rate goes 
 into effect. 
 
 (2) Where the transportation of the 
 product is in facilities owned or con¬ 
 trolled by the seller and is in lieu of 
 movement by a regulated carrier, he may 
 add the unit increase that would be per¬ 
 mitted him in subparagraph (1) of this 
 paragraph, had he used such regulated 
 carrier. 
 
 (3) Where a seller in accordance with 
 his customary pricing practice included 
 in his selling price during the base period 
 the transportation rate from a point 
 other than his own source of supply, or 
 the transportation rate to a point in a 
 pricing area other than the rate to the 
 actual point of delivery, or the rate of 
 a means of transportation other than 
 that actually used by him, he may add 
 the unit increase permitted by Federal 
 or State regulatory bodies or by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization in such 
 transportation rate. 
 
 (b) A seller may round the additions 
 to his ceiling price determined under 
 this section to the nearest cent or frac¬ 
 tion of a cent in accord with his cus¬ 
 tomary practice. If a seller elects to 
 round one ceiling price he must similarly 
 
81 Trans 34:C18 
 
 round all his ceiling prices increased un¬ 
 der this section to reflect decreases as 
 well as increases. 
 
 (c) Under this section blenders or re¬ 
 finers may increase the ceiling price of a 
 finished product or for a product which 
 has been further processed only up to an 
 amount which will reflect the propor¬ 
 tionate freight increases of the various 
 components or the proportionate freight 
 increases for each refined product, ex¬ 
 cept that increases in the cost of trans¬ 
 porting crude petroleum and increases 
 in the cost of transporting, for further 
 processing, semi-finished materials be¬ 
 tween units or controlled subsidiaries of 
 the same company shall in no case be 
 used as the basis of increasing ceiling 
 prices under this section. 
 
 (d) Nothing in this section shall au¬ 
 thorize a seller to increase his ceiling 
 prices as a result of higher transporta¬ 
 tion costs (including excise taxes there¬ 
 on) caused by a change from the normal 
 source of supply or a change to a differ¬ 
 ent method of transportation. 
 
 <e) A seller adjusting his ceiling price 
 under this section shall maintain a rec¬ 
 ord of his adjustment and such records 
 must substantiate that the adjustments 
 relate directly to base period practice. 
 
 2. Section 26 is amended by adding to 
 the section the following undesignated 
 paragraph: 
 
 If such taxes are included in the ceil¬ 
 ing prices established under the provi¬ 
 sions of this regulation, and such tax is 
 
 reduced or repealed after January 25, 
 1951, you must reduce your ceiling price 
 by the amount of the tax reduction. You 
 must also reduce your ceiling price by 
 the amount of reduction in the ceiling 
 price of your supplier due to a repeal or 
 reduction of such a tax. 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50 
 U. S. C. App. Sup. 2154) 
 
 Effective date. This amendment shall 
 become effective January 20, 1953. 
 
 Note: The record-keeping requirements of 
 this amendment have been approved by the 
 Bureau of the Budget in accordance with the 
 Federal Reports Act of 1942.

 Special Order 1] 
 
 Olympia-Tenino Marketing Area 
 
 ADJUSTMENT OF TANK WAGON CEILING 
 PRICES 
 
 Statement of considerations. This 
 special order adjusts the ceiling prices 
 for sales of heating oils (kerosene, No. 1 
 and 2 oils, furnace oil, range oil and 
 stove oil) by tank wagon distributors in 
 the Olympia-Tenino marketing area. 
 
 The Office of Price Stabilization was 
 requested by distributors in the Olym¬ 
 pia-Tenino marketing area to conduct a 
 survey to determine whether increased 
 costs have reduced the net margins in 
 the area below a point sufficient to main¬ 
 tain the level of earnings in the year 
 ending May 31, 1950. The results of 
 that survey show that an upward adjust¬ 
 
 ment is necessary to bring earnings to 
 that level. 
 
 There are hundreds of heating oil sell¬ 
 ers at the tank wagon level in this region 
 and the need for relief is not uniform 
 but varies from marketing area to mar¬ 
 keting area. Thus it is concluded that 
 the adjustment must be on a marketing 
 area basis, rather than on a region-wide 
 basis. For the purpose of this special 
 order the market area has been defined 
 as the area of reseller competition, which 
 is the same as the area of the free deliv¬ 
 ery zones. 
 
 The adjustment granted by this order 
 does no more than bring earnings to the 
 level of the year ending May 31, 1950.' 
 It is therefore consistent with the pro¬ 
 visions of Section 11 (d) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17. 
 
 Special provisions. For the reasons 
 set forth in the Statement of Considera¬ 
 tions and pursuant to the provisions of 
 Section 11 (d) of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 17 and Delegation of Authority 72, 
 It is ordered: 
 
 1. That the ceiling price of heating 
 oil distributors in the Olympic-Tenino 
 marketing area for tank wagon sales of 
 heating oils (kerosene, Nos. 1 and 2 oils, 
 furnace oil, range oil and stove oil) to 
 consumers shall be increased by $0,004 
 per gallon. The Olympia-Tenino mar¬ 
 keting area is defined as the Olympia- 
 Tenino free delivery zone. 
 
 2. All provisions of Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 17, except as inconsistent with 
 the provisions of this order shall remain 
 in full force and effect as to the com¬ 
 modities covered by this order. 
 
 3. This order may be amended, modi¬ 
 fied, or revoked at any time. 
 
 Effective date. This special order 
 shall become effective on November 5, 
 1952.

 [Celling Price Regulation 17. as amended. 
 Section 11 (d), Special Order 2. Arndt. 1] 
 
 Washington. D. C., Metropolitan Area 
 
 AREA ADJUSTMENT OF TANK WAGON CEILING 
 PRICES OF FUEL OIL DISTRIBUTORS; READ¬ 
 JUSTMENT OF PRICES 
 
 Statement of considerations. As the 
 Statement of Considerations accom¬ 
 panying Special Order 2 makes clear, 
 that order was designed to restore the 
 net earnings of heating oil distributors 
 in the Washington. D. C., metropolitan 
 area to the level of the fiscal year ending 
 May 31, 1950. In arriving at the ad¬ 
 justment in ceiling prices necessary to 
 accomplish this result consideration was 
 given to the fact that under the pro¬ 
 visions of Supplementary Regulation 10 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 17 fuel oil 
 distributors on the East Coast, which 
 included the Washington, D. C., area, 
 were granted as of June 30, 1952, a ceil¬ 
 ing price increase of $0.0015 per gallon 
 over and above the spelled-out increases 
 in their product cost effected by SR 10. 
 This increase of $0.0015 was granted 
 pursuant to instructions from Dr. J. R. 
 Steelman, then Acting Director of the 
 Office of Defense Mobilization, simul¬ 
 
 taneously with the grant of a ceiling 
 price increase of $0.0065 per gallon to 
 those who supplied product to the Wash¬ 
 ington area distributors. Dr. Steelman’s 
 instructions, which were made part of the 
 Statement of Considerations in SR 10, 
 intended this $0.0015 per gallon to com¬ 
 pensate local distributors for the addi¬ 
 tional expenses which they would incur 
 in handling higher priced product. 
 Recent representations by and confer¬ 
 ences with representatives of the Wash¬ 
 ington area distributors have convinced 
 the Office of Price Stabilization that 
 this intention was not fully carried out 
 in Special Order 2, since the computa¬ 
 tions that resulted in the adjustment 
 granted in Special Order 2 treated the 
 $0.0015 as additional net income to the 
 fuel oil distributors rather than as com¬ 
 pensation for increased costs. There¬ 
 fore this amendment first increases the 
 amount of the adjustment in Special 
 Order 2 by $0.0015 per gallon. Amend¬ 
 ment 7 contemplates the rounding of 
 adjustment to the nearest tenth of a 
 cent. Accordingly, the amendment in¬ 
 cludes also an additional $0.0015. This 
 brings the total adjustment granted by 
 this amendment to $0,002 per gallon. 
 With the $0,001 granted in the original 
 special order the result is a total in¬ 
 crease in ceiling price under section 11 
 (d) of CPR 17 of $0,003 per gallon. 
 
 Amendatory provisions. For the rea¬ 
 sons set forth in ibft statement of con¬ 
 siderations accompanying this amend¬ 
 ment and the statement of considerations 
 in Special Order 2 and pursuant to the 
 provisions of section 11 <d) to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 17, as amended. It is 
 ordered: 
 
 1. That paragraph 1 of Special Order 
 2 issued under Section 11 (d) of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 17, as amended, is 
 amended to read as follows: 
 
 1. That the tank wagon ceiling price 
 for Heating Oils (Kerosene, No. 1 and 
 No. 2 Oil, Furnace Oil, Range Oil and 
 Stove Oil) sold by tank wagon distrib¬ 
 utors in the Washington, D. C„ metro¬ 
 politan area, may be increased $0,003 
 per gallon. 
 
 2. All provisions of Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 17, as amended, except as incon¬ 
 sistent with the provisions of this order 
 and all provisions of Special Order 2, 
 except as amended herein, shall remain 
 in full force and effect as to the com¬ 
 modities covered by this order. 
 
 3. This order may be amended, modi¬ 
 fied or revoked by this Office at any time. 
 
 Effective date. This Special Order 
 shall become effective January 15, 1953.

 Bremerton-Port Orchard Marketing 
 Area 
 
 ADJUSTMENT OF TANK WAGON CEILING PRICES 
 OF FUEL OIL DISTRIBUTORS 
 
 Statement of considerations. This 
 special order adjusts the ceiling prices 
 for sales of heating oils (Kerosene, No. 1 
 and 2 Oils. Furnace Oil, Range Oil, and 
 Stove Oil) by tank wagon distributors in 
 the Bremerton-Port Orchard marketing 
 area. 
 
 The Office of Price Stabilization was 
 requested by distributors in the Bremer¬ 
 ton-Port Orchard marketing area to 
 conduct a survey to determine whether 
 increased costs have reduced the net 
 margins in the area below a point suffi¬ 
 cient to maintain the level of earnings 
 in the year ending May 31, 1950. The 
 results of that survey show that an up¬ 
 
 ward adjustment is necessary to bring 
 earnings to that level. 
 
 There are hundreds of heating oil 
 sellers at the tank wagon level in this 
 Region and the need for relief is not uni¬ 
 form but varies from marketing area to 
 marketing area. Thus it is concluded 
 that the adjustment must be on a mar¬ 
 keting area basis rather than on a 
 region-wide basis. For the purpose of 
 this special order the market area has 
 been defined as the area of reseller com¬ 
 petition, which is the same as the free 
 delivery zones. 
 
 The adjustment granted by this order 
 does no more than bring earnings to the 
 level of the year ending May 31, 1950. It 
 is, therefore, consistent with the provi¬ 
 sions of Section 11 (d) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17. 
 
 Special provisions. For the reasons 
 set forth in the Statement of Considera¬ 
 tions and pursuant to the provisions of 
 Section 11 (d) of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 17 and Delegation of Authority No. 
 72, It is ordered: 
 
 1. That the ceiling price of heating 
 oil distributors in the Bremerton-Port 
 
 Orchard marketing area for tank wagon 
 sales of heating oils (Kerosene, No. 1 
 and 2 Oils, Furnace Oil, Range Oil and 
 Stove Oil) to consumers shall be in¬ 
 creased by $0,005 per gallon. The Brem¬ 
 erton-Port Orchard marketing area is 
 defined as that area in which dealers 
 located in Bremerton and Port Orchard 
 make deliveries without an additional 
 charge. 
 
 2. All provisions of Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 17, except as inconsistent with 
 the provisions of this order shall remain 
 in full force and effect as to the com¬ 
 modities covered by this order. 
 
 3. This order may be amended, modi¬ 
 fied, or revoked at any time. 
 
 Effective date. This special order 
 shall become effective on November 13,

 Vernon-Sedro Woolley-Burlington and 
 Anacortes marketing area to conduct a 
 survey to determine whether increased 
 costs have reduced the net margins in 
 the area below a point sufficient to main¬ 
 tain the level of earnings in the year 
 ending May 31, 1950. The results of 
 that survey show that an upward ad¬ 
 
 justment is necessary to bring earnings 
 to that level. 
 
 There are hundreds of heating oil 
 sellers at the tank wagon level in this 
 Region and the need for relief is not 
 uniform but varies from marketing area 
 to marketing area. Thus it is concluded 
 that the adjustment must be on a mar¬ 
 keting area basis rather than on a re¬ 
 gion-wide basis. For the purpose of this 
 special order the market area has been 
 defined as the area of reseller competi¬ 
 tion, which is the same as the free de¬ 
 livery zones. 
 
 The adjustment granted by this order 
 does no more than bring earnings to the 
 level of the year ending May 31, 1950. 
 It is, therefore, consistent with the pro¬ 
 visions of Section 11 (d) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17. 
 
 Special provisions. For the reasons 
 set forth in the Statement of Considera¬ 
 tions and pursuant to the provisions of 
 Section 11 (d) of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 17 and Delegation of Authority No. 
 72, It is ordered: 
 
 1. That the ceiling price of heating oil 
 distributors in the Mt. Vernon-Sedro 
 
 Woolley-Burlington and Anacortes mar¬ 
 keting area for tank wagon sales of heat¬ 
 ing oils (Kerosene, No. 1 and 2 Oils, 
 Furnace Oil, Range Oil and Stove Oil) 
 to consumers shall be increased by 
 $0,002 per gallon. The Mt. Vernon- 
 Sedro Woolley-Burlington and Anacortes 
 marketing area is defined as that area in 
 which dealers located in Mt. Vernon, 
 Sedro Woolley, Burlington and Anacortes 
 make deliveries without an. additional 
 charge. 
 
 2. All provisions of Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 17, except as inconsistent with 
 the provisions of this order shall remain 
 in full force and effect as to the com¬ 
 modities covered by this order. 
 
 3. This order may be amended, mod¬ 
 ified, or revoked at any time. 
 
 Effective date.' This special order shall 
 become effective on November 13, 1952.

 Adjustment of Tank Wagon Ceiling 
 Prices in the Wahkiakum County 
 Marketing Area 
 
 Statement of considerations. This 
 special order adjusts the ceiling prices 
 for sales of heating oils (Kerosene, No. 1 
 and 2 Oils, Furnace Oil, Range Oil and 
 Stove Oil) by tank wagon distributors in 
 the Wahkiakum County, Washington, 
 marketing area. 
 
 The Office of Price Stabilization was 
 requested to conduct a survey to deter¬ 
 mine whether increased costs have re¬ 
 duced the net margins of heating oil 
 distributors in the Wahkiakum County, 
 Washington, marketing area below a 
 point sufficient to maintain the level of 
 earnings in the year ending May 31,1950. 
 
 The results of that survey show that an 
 upward adjustment is necessary to bring 
 earnings to that level. 
 
 There is a large number of heating oil 
 sellers at the tank wagon level in this 
 region and the need for relief is not uni¬ 
 form, but varies from marketing area to 
 marketing area. Thus it is concluded 
 that the adjustment must be on a mar¬ 
 keting area basis, rather than on a re¬ 
 gion-wide basis. For the purpose of this 
 special order the boundaries of the mar¬ 
 ket area have been determined to be the 
 same as the boundaries of Wahkiakum 
 County, Washington. 
 
 The adjustment granted by this order 
 does no more than bring earnings to the 
 level of the year ending May 31, 1950. It 
 is therefore consistent with the pro¬ 
 visions of section 11 (d) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17. 
 
 Special provisions. For the reasons 
 set forth in the Statement of Considera¬ 
 tions and pursuant to the provisions of 
 Section 11 (d) of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 
 tion 17 and Delegation of Authority No. 
 72, It is ordered: 
 
 1. That the ceiling price of heating 
 oil distributors in the Wahkiakum 
 County marketing area for tank wagon 
 sales of heating oils (Kerosene, No. 1 
 and 2 Oils, Furnace Oil, Range Oil and 
 Stove Oil) to consumers shall be in¬ 
 creased by $0,003 per gallon. The Wah¬ 
 kiakum County marketing area is de¬ 
 fined as the area within the boundaries 
 of Wahkiakum County, Washington. 
 
 2. All provisions of Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 17, except as inconsistent with the 
 provisions of this Order shall remain in 
 full force and effect as to the commodi¬ 
 ties covered by this Order. 
 
 3. This Order may be amended, modi¬ 
 fied, or revoked at any time. 
 
 Effective date. This special order shall 
 become effective on December 10, 1952.

 The Office of Price Stabilization was 
 requested by distributors in the Wenat¬

 vey to determine whether increased costs 
 have reduced the net margins in the area 
 below a point sufficient to maintain the

 31, 1950. The results of that survey show 
 that an upward adjustment is necessary 
 to bring earnings to that level. 
 
 There are hundreds of heating oil sell¬ 
 ers at the tank wagon level in this Re¬ 
 gion and the need for relief is not uni¬ 
 form but varies from marketing area to

 that the adjustment must be on a mar¬

 ADJUSTMENT OF TANK WAGON CEILING 
 PRICES 
 
 Statement of considerations. This 
 special order adjusts the ceiling prices 
 for sales of heating oils (Kerosene No. 1 
 and 2 Oils, Furnace Oil, Range Oil and 
 Stove Oil) by tank wagon distributors 
 in the Jackson County, Oregon, market¬ 
 ing area. 
 
 The Office of Price Stabilization was 
 requested to conduct a survey to deter¬ 
 mine whether increased costs have re¬ 
 duced the net margins of heating oil 
 distributors in the Jackson County, 
 Oregon, marketing area below a point 
 sufficient to maintain the level of earn¬ 
 ings in the year ending May 31, 1950. 
 
 The results of that survey show that an 
 upward adjustment is necessary to bring 
 earnings to that level. 
 
 There is a large number of heating oil 
 sellers at the tank wagon level in this 
 region and the need for relief is not uni¬ 
 form, bait varies from marketing area to 
 marketing area. Thus it is concluded 
 that the adjustment must be on a mar¬ 
 keting area basis, rather than on a 
 region-wide basis. For the purpose of 
 this special order the market area has 
 been defined as the area within the 
 boundaries of Jackson County, Oregon. 
 
 The adjustment granted by this order 
 does no more than bring earnings to the 
 level of the year ending May 31, 1950. 
 It is therefore consistent with the pro¬ 
 visions of section 11 (d) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17. 
 
 Special provisions. For the reasons 
 set forth in the Statement of Considera¬ 
 tions and pursuant to the provisions of 
 Section 11 (d) of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 17 and Delegation of Authority 72, 
 it is ordered: 
 
 1. That the ceiling price of heating 
 oil distributors in the Jackson County, 
 Oregon, marketing area for tank wagon 
 sales of heating oils (Kerosene, No. 1 and 
 2 Oils, Furnace Oil, Range Oil and Stove 
 Oil) to consumers shall be increased by 
 $0,004 per gallon. The Jackson County 
 marketing area is defined as the area 
 within the boundaries of Jackson 
 County, Oregon. 
 
 2. All provisions of Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 17, except as inconsistent with 
 the provisions of this Order, shall remain 
 in full force and effect as to the com¬ 
 modities covered by this Order.

 fied, or revoked at any time.

 EVASION 
 
 Contract deferring payment of overcharge until after termination of price controls 
 
 An agreement between a producer and a buyer of natural gas provides that upon the 
 expiration or repeal of price stabilization the seller's prices shall be increased, 
 to the extent that such can be done lawfully, to make up any price decrease which he 
 has been forced to take under price regulation. 
 
 Any agreement to buy or sell at more than the ceiling price is prohibited by Section 
 15 of CPR 17. The agreement provides that the buyer shall ultimately pay the contract 
 rate for all deliveries. If at any time the ceiling price is lower than the contract 
 rate, the buyer agrees, subject to this arrangement being lawful, to pay the ceiling 
 price at the time of delivery and the balance of the price, computed at the contract 
 rate, in installments after price control has ended. 
 
 This agreement falls squarely within the prohibitions of Section 15 even though 
 payment of that part of the price which would be over ceiling is deferred until after 
 the termination of price controls. 
 
 Accordingly, it is to be concluded that the provisions calling for increased pay¬ 
 ments by the buyer after price control has ended are unlawful.

 INTERPRETATIONS

 "UNREGULATED” COMMON CARRIER 
 
 1. Status as common carrier unaffected 
 
 2. Increases "permitted" when rates are exempt 
 
 The questions posed are: 
 
 "Does the fact that a common carrier is exempt from Interstate Commerce 
 Commission regulations with respect to its hauling of bulk petroleum, 
 change its status as a common carrier with respect to such hauling? 
 
 "If the answer to question one is no, does the fact that the common carrier 
 is exempt from Interstate Commerce Commission regulations wixh respect 
 to hauling bulk petroleum mean that its rate increase of March 5, 1951, 
 was "permitted by a federal or state regulatory body" so that the ship¬ 
 per may pass on the increase to its distributors pursuant to Sec. 25 
 (a)(1) of CPR 17?" 
 
 The exemption from Interstate Commerce Commission rate regulation does not change 
 the status of a common carrier. This carrier's operations as described were those of 
 an "unregulated" common carrier. 
 
 It was questioned whether the use of the word "permitted" in Sec. 25 of CPR 17 
 contemplates some affirmative action rate-wise on the part of OPS or a federal or 
 dtate regulatory body, and does not refer to the failure or legal incapacity of 
 these bodies to exercise authority. This is too strict a reading of the section. 
 
 The intent of Sec. 25 was to recognize valid rate increases. The statute itself 
 in effect validates rate increases by "unregulated" common carriers inasmuch as 
 it denies OPS the power to control them. Sec. 14(f) of the GCPR does the same 
 thing, and this, of course, is undeniably an action by OPS.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 as amended, Executive Order 10161 (15 F. 
 R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Supplementary Regulation 1 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 17 (16 F. R. 
 2626) is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This supplementary regulation to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17 establishes 
 dollars-and-cents prices for tank wagon 
 and “rack” sales of automotive gasoline 
 in the Los Angeles Basin area of the 
 State of California. The prices normally 
 charged by wholesalers of motor gasoline 
 in this area for tank wagon sales have 
 been at substantially uniform prices for 
 several years antedating the issuance of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17. Similarly, 
 there is a substantial volume of auto¬ 
 motive gasoline sold at the refineries or 
 refinery facilities at a customary dif¬ 
 ferential below the prevailing tank 
 wagon price for the area involved. For 
 convenience in terminology, this type of 
 discount transaction is referred to as the 
 sale of “rack gasoline” or “rack price 
 gasoline.” This gasoline is sold either 
 f. o. b. the refinery with transportation 
 provided by the ultimate consumer or 
 buyer, or is sold on a delivered-at-desti- 
 nation basis which consists of the “rack 
 price” plus customary transportation 
 charges. 
 
 Examination of prices on “rack trans¬ 
 actions” back to 1948 shows that the cus¬ 
 tomary level has been from 2.00 to 2.70 
 per gallon below the prevailing tank 
 wagon price in each area involved, and 
 that the weighted average discount has 
 been 2.5c* per gallon off tank wagon. 
 However, the retail price war which 
 broke out in Los Angeles basin early 
 in 1950 caused "rack prices” also to 
 weaken, and the Office of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation regulations froze these “rack 
 prices” at 30 to 3 below tank wagon 
 ceiling prices. Thus the discounts on 
 “rack prices,” as frozen into the area 
 price structure, are from l / 2 <* to 1.00 per 
 gallon below the normal differentials. 
 
 It is the purpose of this supplementary 
 regulation to restore the customary dif¬ 
 ferential between the tank wagon price 
 and the “rack price” in order to relieve 
 
 the sellers who how have their ceilings 
 frozen at abnormally low levels. 
 
 The ceiling price relief to be afforded 
 by this supplementary regulation is 
 essential to the maintenance of gasoline 
 supplies through customary channels of 
 distribution. With the depletion of gas¬ 
 oline inventories in late 1950 and early 
 1951 and the resultant tight supply situa¬ 
 tion on gasoline currently existing in the 
 Pacific Coast, many re-sellers of gasoline 
 are having extreme difficulty in securing 
 their requirements of the product. 
 
 The customary pricing practice on the 
 Pacific Coast is to relate prices for de¬ 
 liveries other than by tank wagon in 
 terms of discounts or premiums over or 
 under the tank wagon price. It is, there¬ 
 fore, essential to establish, coincident 
 with the restoration of the normal differ¬ 
 ential for “rack” transactions, the pre¬ 
 vailing tank wagon price in the area in¬ 
 volved as the ceiling price. Evidence is 
 on file to show that the posted tank 
 wagon price of sellers in this area is the 
 prevailing price and, because of the ex¬ 
 istence of uniform prices, the establish¬ 
 ment of dollars and cents prices is facili¬ 
 tated. The tank wagon prices which are 
 spelled out by this supplementary regu¬ 
 lation were in effect in the latter part of 
 1950, and are regarded by the Pacific 
 Coast Industry Advisory Committee as 
 fair and equitable. Moreover, the estab¬ 
 lishment of dollars and cents ceiling 
 prices for tank wagon deliveries is in ac¬ 
 cordance with the announced policy of 
 this agency to establish specific ceiling 
 prices, which situation is desirable from 
 the standpoint of the consuming public, 
 sellers, and the government. 
 
 FINDINGS OF THE DIRECTOR OF PRICE 
 STABILIZATION 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 as amended. Executive Order 10161 (15 
 F. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Amendment 1 to Supplemen¬ 
 tary Regulation 1 to Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 17 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 The purpose of Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 1 to Ceiling Price Regulation 17 
 was to rectify an unsatisfactory ceiling 
 price situation in the Los Angeles Basin 
 which had resulted from a prolonged 
 price war that was terminating during 
 the base period. The supplementary 
 regulation confined its coverage to a spe¬ 
 cific geographical area. In doing so it 
 failed to take into account a small per¬ 
 centage of "rack price gasoline”, which 
 is purchased at the rack in the Los Ange¬ 
 les Basin area, and then transported out¬ 
 side that area for sale either directly to 
 retailers at service stations, or to bulk 
 plants for resale to retail outlets. 
 
 To prevent ceiling prices from creating 
 an economic situation which would dis¬ 
 rupt normal supplies of gasoline, Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 1 established the 
 differential between the tank wagon 
 price on deliveries in the Los Angeles 
 Basin area and the rack price at 2.5<f per 
 gallon. In many cases this resulted in a 
 reduction of differentials which had the 
 result of raising the rack price of gaso¬ 
 line. However, when this "rack price 
 gasoline”, in the course of distribution, 
 reaches areas outside the Los Angeles 
 Basin, Supplementary Regulation i to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17 ceases to be 
 
 applicable, and the ceilings are set by 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17, which per¬ 
 mits no pass through of this sort. This 
 results in a squeeze on independent 
 marketers reselling Los Angeles rack 
 gasoline outside the Los Angeles Basin. 
 This squeeze is measured by the extent 
 that Supplementary Regulation 1 per¬ 
 mitted an increase in “rack price gaso¬ 
 line” in the Los Angeles Basin. 
 
 Under this amendment resellers who 
 purchase "rack price gasoline” that orig¬ 
 inates under the rack in the Los An¬ 
 geles Basin may adjust their ceiling 
 prices to pass on any increase in costs 
 resulting from the issuance of Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 1 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17, regardless of whether 
 they sell within or without the Los An¬ 
 geles Basin area. Prior to the issuance 
 of this regulation the Director of Price 
 Stabilization has consulted with Pacific 
 Coast Wholesale Petroleum Industrial 
 Advisory Committees, and has given con¬ 
 sideration to their recommendations. 
 
 This amendment also adds a section to 
 Supplementary Regulation 1 which in¬ 
 corporates therein all the provisions of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17 that are not 
 inconsistent with the supplementary 
 regulation, such as the record-keeping, 
 compliance, transportation and tax pro¬ 
 visions. 
 
 FINDINGS OF THE DIRECTOR OF PRICE 
 STABILIZATION ' 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization this amendment to 
 Supplementary Regulation 1 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 17 is generally fair and 
 equitable and is necessary to effectuate 
 the purposes of Title IV of the Defense 
 Production Act of 1959, as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 1 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 17 is amended in 
 the following respects: 
 
 Section 1 is amended to read as fol¬ 
 lows: 
 
 Section 1. Applicability of supple¬ 
 mentary regulation. This supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation sets specific prices for 
 tank wagon sales of regular automotive 
 and marine gasoline in the Los Angeles 
 Basin area. It also sets a specific 2.5<f 
 differential on sales of “rack price gaso¬ 
 line” in the Los Angeles Basin area and 
 permits resellers of "rack price gaso¬ 
 
 line” which originates under the rack in 
 the Los Angeles Basin area to pass on to 
 purchasers located within or without the 
 Los Angeles Basin area, any increase in 
 cost occasioned by the specific prices and 
 differentials herein established. 
 
 2. Section 4 is amended to read as fol¬ 
 lows: 
 
 Sec. 4. Rack gasoline, (a) The ceil¬ 
 ing price for each grade of gasoline 
 f. o. b. refineries or refinery facilities to 
 that class of purchaser buying "rack 
 price gasoline” in the Los Angeles Basin 
 area shall be 2.5 4 per gallon below the 
 specified tank wagon ceiling price for 
 quantities as established in section 3 of 
 this regulation. 
 
 (b) The ceiling price of a refiner for 
 "delivered-at-destination” sales of “rack 
 price gasoline” originating in the Los 
 Angeles Basin area shall be the f. o. b. 
 ceiling price for such gasoline as estab¬ 
 lished by paragraph (a) of this section 
 plus the refiner’s customary transporta¬ 
 tion charge. 
 
 (c) The ceiling price of resellers of 
 “rack price gasoline” which originated 
 under the rack in the Los Angeles Basin 
 area shall be increased by the amount 
 of increased cost of the product to the 
 reseller resulting from increases in ceil¬ 
 ing prices permitted their suppliers by 
 this section, irrespective of the location 
 of the sale within or without the Los An¬ 
 geles Basin area. 
 
 Nothing in this regulation shall be 
 construed as referring to cargo sales of 
 gasoline. 
 
 3. A new section 5 is added to read as 
 follows: 
 
 Sec. 5. Applicable provisions of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 17. Sellers subject 
 to this supplementary regulation shall be 
 subject to all provisions of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17 not inconsistent with the 
 provisions of this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion.

 Price Adjustments for Cyclohexane 
 
 OFFICE OF PRICE STABILIZATION

 Supplementary Regulation 2 
 
 OCTOBER 16, 1951 
 
 WASHINGTON 
 
 only by use of new and additional plant 
 facilities and fractionation equipment, 
 not now in existence, which can recover a 
 substantially larger percentage of cyclo¬ 
 hexane than the normal fractionation 
 process. Such additional facilities and 
 equipment will involve substantial new 
 capital expenditures and increased pro¬ 
 duction costs, in turn requiring higher 
 prices than the present ceiling prices of 
 cyclohexane. It is not considered nec¬ 
 essary to exempt cyclohexane from price 
 ceilings, because it will be administra¬ 
 tively feasible to make appropriate indi¬ 
 vidual price adjustments for the few pro¬ 
 ducers who can expand their production 
 of cyclohexane. 
 
 Manufacturers of nylon have ex¬ 
 pressed their desire for incremental 
 supplies of cyclohexane for use in the 
 manufacture of nylon essential for de¬ 
 fense purposes. Even at the higher 
 prices which may be granted under this 
 supplementary regulation, cyclohexane 
 will provide them with a lower cost raw 
 material than if they purchased addi¬ 
 tional benezene at the level of prices 
 currently prevailing on incremental ben¬ 
 zene from petroleum and on imported 
 benzene. Thus, price adjustments 
 which result in additional supplies of cy¬ 
 clohexane will contribute to the stabili¬ 
 zation program by relieving the critical 
 shortage of benzene and by providing 
 nylon manufacturers with an alterna¬ 
 tive lower cost raw material. 
 
 This supplementary regulation pro¬ 
 vides that where it is in the interest of 
 the National Defense effort, upon the 
 proper showing of estimated capital ex¬ 
 penditures and anticipated production 
 costs, a petroleum refiner may be granted 
 an adjusted ceiling price for incremental 
 supplies in order to enable him to in¬ 
 crease his production of cyclohexane. 
 
 Prior to the issuance of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation the Director of Price 
 Stabilization has consulted with industry 
 representatives who might be affected by 
 this regulation. 
 
 FINDINGS OF THE DIRECTOR OF PRICE 
 STABILIZATION 
 
 Sec. 2. Adjustment of ceiling prices of 
 cyclohexane, (a) Whenever in the opin¬ 
 ion of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion it is essential to the defense effort 
 to bring out incremental supplies of 
 cyclohexane, he may adjust a producer’s 
 ceiling price for cyclohexane to reflect 
 actual or anticipated increases in operat¬ 
 ing costs and capital expenditures for 
 new or improved producing facilities 
 made after January 25, 1951. Consider¬ 
 ation shall also be given to < the price 
 necessary to secure adequate production 
 and to the effect of increased prices on 
 the prices of finished products. 
 
 At the discretion of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization, he may adjust the 
 ceiling price only on sales of the incre¬ 
 mental production of cyclohexane, or he 
 may grant a proportionately smaller 
 ceiling price adjustment applicable to 
 the producer’s entire output of cyclo¬ 
 hexane. 
 
 (b) A producer of cyclohexane desir¬ 
 ing an adjustment of his ceiling price 
 for cyclohexane shall file a request for 
 such adjustment with the Petroleum 
 Branch, Office of Price Stabilization. 
 This request shall set forth (l)a descrip¬ 
 tion of his present and proposed opera¬ 
 tion; (2) an estimate of capital expendi¬ 
 tures for the equipment necessary to 
 produce the incremental supply of cyclo¬ 
 hexane, broken down into major types of 
 equipment; (3) present unit cost of pro¬ 
 duction, showing in detail material and 
 labor costs, operating overhead, depre¬ 
 ciation, and sales and administrative ex¬ 
 penses; (4) an estimate of the unit cost 
 of his incremental products showing the 
 same detail as subparagraph (3) of this 
 paragraph and the rates and amounts of 
 amortization; (5) his present and pro¬ 
 posed ceiling prices for cyclohexane; and 
 (6) any other such information deemed 
 pertinent' by the applicant. 
 
 (c) The Director may at any time re¬ 
 vise ceiling prices established by order 
 under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation when such ceiling 
 prices appear to be inconsistent with the 
 basis upon which the adjustment was 
 made.

 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Cyclohexane is a petroleum hydrocar¬ 
 bon which can be obtained from natural 
 gasoline and various refinery gasoline 
 streams by a careful treating operation 
 and elaborate fractionating equipment. 
 It is normally manufactured by only a 
 few refiners, who obtain low yields and 
 consequently produce relatively small 
 quantities. Cyclohexane prices in the 
 past and during the base period have 
 reflected both cost of production and the 
 prices of competitive hydrocarbons. The 
 price of cyclohexane has not been suffi¬ 
 ciently high to permit building and op¬ 
 erating the additional fractionating 
 equipment needed to secure higher recov¬ 
 eries out of the gasoline streams. 
 
 Cyclohexane and benzene are chem¬ 
 ically similar in composition and are al¬ 
 ternative raw materials for the manufac¬ 
 ture of nylon, although cyclohexane is 
 preferable since the first step in manu¬ 
 facturing nylon from benzene is to con¬ 
 vert it to cyclohexane. Heretofore ben¬ 
 zene, rather than cyclohexane, has been 
 the principal raw material (because of 
 its availability) at a price at which cyclo¬ 
 hexane could not compete for nylon 
 manufacture. 
 
 Under the impact of thj mobilization 
 program the demands for benzene and 
 nylon have been increasing very rapidly. 
 A greatly expanded production of ben¬ 
 zene is needed not only for the manufac¬ 
 ture of nylon, but also because benzene 
 is an important raw material in many 
 chemical industries, including the manu¬ 
 facture of synthetic rubber. The 
 amount of benzene normally produced 
 from petroleum is insignificant as com¬ 
 pared with the quantities produced by 
 the coke industry as a by-product. 
 However, production from petroleum can 
 be substantially expanded. Conse¬ 
 quently, in order to insure an expansion 
 in production, and at the request of the 
 Petroleum Administrator for Defense, 
 benzene from petroleum was exempted 
 from ceiling prices in Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 17. 
 
 Incremental supplies of cyclohexane to 
 serve as a substitute for scarce benzene 
 can be produced by petroleum refiners 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the adjustment pro¬ 
 vision established in this supplementary 
 regulation is necessary to effectuate the 
 purposes of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 Executive Order 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), 
 and Economic Stabilization Agency Gen¬ 
 eral Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 3 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17 (16 F. R. 3033) is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 3 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 17 is designed to rectify 
 a tank wagon price problem which was 
 created in the mid-western states by the 
 price freeze established by the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation on January 26, 
 1951. 
 
 The petroleum industry had, to a great 
 extent, observed a “hold the line” price 
 request which was issued by the Director 
 of Price Stabilization on December 18, 
 1950. At that time, such voluntary ac¬ 
 tion was considered temporary, pend¬ 
 ing preparation and issuance of regula¬ 
 tions. 
 
 Acceptance by the petroleum industry 
 of the voluntary price freeze brought a 
 sudden halt in normal pricing pro¬ 
 cedures, and certain distortions resulted 
 in tank wagon sales of kerosene, No. 2 
 Heating Oil, and other distillate fuels in 
 the mid-western section of the country. 
 These distortions stemmed from the fact 
 that f. o. b. refinery prices and tank car 
 delivered prices at that time were rising, 
 and not all of the tank wagon sellers had 
 made the upward market adjustments 
 necessary to maintain customary operat¬ 
 ing margins between tank car delivered 
 prices and tank wagon distribution 
 prices. 
 
 Issuance of the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation froze into ceilings the diverse 
 tank wagon price levels resulting from 
 the observance of the voluntary “freeze” 
 as of December 18, 1950, thereby retain¬ 
 ing these distortions. Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 17 continued the price levels of 
 the base period and continued also those 
 distortions already in existence. 
 
 The customary practice of the petro¬ 
 leum industry under ordinary conditions 
 is to reflect at the tank-car level price 
 
 changes at the refinery level and tank 
 wagon prices in turn reflect changes at 
 the tank car level. In the early part of 
 December 1950 an increase in prices at 
 the tank car level was in progress, the 
 advance being made in the customary 
 increments of V B of a cent at a time. 
 This advance was in an amount that 
 would normally have resulted in an in¬ 
 crease in tank wagon prices of : Ho to Va 
 of a cent. But the tank car advance was 
 not completed until December 18, 1950, 
 the date of the voluntary price freeze, 
 and the voluntary price freeze had not 
 permitted tank wagon dealers time to 
 complete arrangements to advance the 
 tank wagon price. In fact, there is a 
 normal lag between tank car and tank 
 wagon price changes due, in large part, 
 to the practice of moving tank wagon 
 prices in steps of V 2 of a cent. While 
 some changes were accomplished, others 
 in contemplation were postponed due to 
 observance of the voluntary price freeze 
 of December 18th, with the result that 
 the “highest price charged during the 
 base period” varied considerably among 
 the numerous marketers. Tank wagon 
 ceiling prices of some sellers were frozen 
 at considerably lower levels than those 
 of their competitors. . 
 
 A substantial segment of the industry, 
 including a large number of relatively 
 small business enterprises selling at the 
 tank wagon level, now find themselves 
 in a situation where they are subjected 
 to increased costs for kerosene and dis¬ 
 tillate fuel oils and are not able to reflect 
 such increases in their selling prices be¬ 
 cause either < 1 ) their tank wagon ceiling 
 prices are frozen at abnormally low levels 
 or ( 2 ) they cannot sell at their higher 
 established ceilings because their com¬ 
 petitors’ ceilings are frozen at abnor¬ 
 mally low levels, thus compelling them 
 to meet competition in the market or lose 
 their customers. 
 
 In general the extent of the tank car 
 and refinery advances in December 1950 
 ranged from V 4 of a cent to V 2 of a cent 
 per gallon, the amount being determined 
 oy the method of pricing used, the petro¬ 
 leum product involved, and the geo¬ 
 graphical location. 
 
 One of the major marketers has, for 
 several years, followed a pricing policy 
 which apparently differs from the 
 “Group 3 Basis” of pricing. In brief, it 
 bases its tank wagon price structure 
 upon refinery prices, plus a customary 
 margin which varies dependent upon the 
 competitive situation and the demand 
 for its products in local marketing areas. 
 This major marketer was in the process 
 of adjusting his tank wagon prices in 11 
 states after completion of an exhaustive 
 study of the price situation. These ad¬ 
 justments would have increased prices 
 by 0.5 of a cent per gallon in the states 
 of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, 
 
 South Dakota, Iowa and Kansas, and 
 by 0.3 of a cent in Indiana, Missouri, Ne¬ 
 braska, Michigan and Illinois with the 
 exception of Metropolitan Chicago where 
 adjustment had already been made. On 
 the so-called “Group 3 Basis” in the 
 Oklahoma area, fuel oil prices at refin¬ 
 eries (tank car) rose V 4 of a cent, and 
 kerosene prices % of a cent per gallon. 
 These amounts are in turn the minimum 
 that the jobber's margin has been de¬ 
 creased. 
 
 Because of the shrinkage of up to V l0 
 of a cent per gallon in jobbers’ margins, 
 with an average for the 12 states of ap¬ 
 proximately % of a cent per gallon or 
 about 17 percent of the customary gross 
 margin, numerous petitions for ceiling 
 price adjustment have been received 
 from independent marketers as well as 
 from major oil companies. 
 
 The adjustments in tank wagon ceil¬ 
 ing prices which are made by this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation will result in 
 prices in the mid-western area described 
 which will be more in line with prices 
 frozen by Ceiling Price Regulation 17 in 
 other sections of the country. 
 
 After careful study of price statistics, 
 and consulta:ion with numerous trade 
 representatives in the affected area, the 
 conclusion has been reached that this 
 squeeze of margins should be relieved. 
 Because the number of sellers involved 
 amounts to several thousand, it is 
 deemed advisable to make the correction 
 by means of a supplementary regulation 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 17, instead of 
 by individual adjustments. 
 
 The Director of Price Stabilization has 
 consulted extensively with trade asso¬ 
 ciation representatives and members of 
 the industry affected by this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation and consideration has 
 been given to the information and sug¬ 
 gestions received from them. 
 
 FINDINGS OF THE DIRECTOR OF PRICE 
 STABILIZATION 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization, the prices established 
 by this supplementary regulation are 
 generally fair and equitable and are 
 necessary to effectuate the purposes of 
 Title IV of the Defense Production Ac; 
 of 1950, as amended.

 Section 1. Applicability of this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation. This supple- 
 
81 Trans 34:502 
 
 mentary regulation grants authority to 
 sellers of kerosene, distillate type burn¬ 
 ing oils and Diesel fuel to adjust their 
 ceiling prices 3/10 of a cent per gallon 
 to V 2 of a cent per gallon, under stated 
 conditions, when making sales of these 
 products at the tank wagon level in cer¬ 
 tain mid-western states. 
 
 Sec. 2. Adjustment of ceiling prices. 
 (a) The tank wagon ceiling price of a 
 seller of kerosene, distillate type burning 
 oil and Diesel fuels may be adjusted to a 
 price no higher than the selling price for 
 the same grade and quantity on Decem¬ 
 ber 13, 1950, or the nearest date prior 
 thereto that a sale was made, plus the 
 amount specified for each geographical 
 area, listed in this paragraph: 
 
 (1) One-half cent per gallon in the 
 states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North 
 Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Kansas. 
 
 (2) Three-tenths cent per gallon in 
 the states of Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri, 
 
 Nebraska, Michigan and Illinois (except 
 in Metropolitan Chicago area). 
 
 For the purposes of this supplementary 
 regulation Metropolitan Chicago area 
 means the City of Chicago, Illinois, and 
 the area contiguous thereto, within 
 which, with respect to petroleum prod¬ 
 ucts, railroad “switching rates" (as dis¬ 
 tinguished from "through rates”) apply 
 on movements from any refinery or bulk 
 plant in Lake, Cook, Du Page, and Will 
 Counties in the state of Illinois, and 
 Lake, Porter and La Porte Counties in 
 the state of Indiana. 
 
 (b> Sellers of products covered by this 
 supplementary regulation whose ceiling 
 price has been established by other ceil¬ 
 ing price regulations heretofore issued 
 may continue to use such established 
 ceiling prices. 
 
 Sec. 3. Records. Sellers covered by 
 this regulation must maintain records in 
 
 accordance with the record-keeping pro¬ 
 visions of Ceiling Price Regulation 17, 
 and in addition must maintain records 
 indicating the selling price of December 
 13, 1950, or if no sale was made on that 
 date the selling price on the nearest date 
 prior thereto that a sale was made. Such 
 records must be kept available for in¬ 
 spection by the Director of Price Stabil¬ 
 ization or his designated agent for a pe¬ 
 riod of two years. 
 
 Effective date. This supplementary 
 regulation shall become effective October

 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 P. R. 738), this Supplementary 
 Regulation No. 4 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 17 (16 P. R. 3033), is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 In the Statement of Considerations of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17 there is a 
 stipulation that “it is the intention of the 
 Director of Price Stabilization to estab¬ 
 lish specific area price ceilings for as 
 many of these (petroleum) products as 
 is feasible.” The present supplementary 
 regulation is designed to carry out the 
 Director’s intention in one locality—the 
 Greater Boston (Massachusetts) area— 
 by spelling out specific ceiling prices in 
 cents per gallon for Range Oil, No. 1 
 Fuel Oil, Kerosene and Nos. 2, 3 and 4 
 Distillate Fuel Oil at (1) refineries and 
 tanker terminals, (2) terminals other 
 than tanker or barge terminals, (3) 
 jobbers’ barge terminals, (4) jobbers’ 
 bulk plants, and (5) delivered in tank 
 wagons. 
 
 As a prerequisite to a spell-out of 
 prices in that area the Boston Regional 
 Office has completed a survey which in¬ 
 cluded consulting with all segments of 
 industry, and has proposed appropriate 
 price action. This supplementary regu¬ 
 lation, embodying the proposals, does 
 not contain any basic price changes. 
 
 A fractional upward adjustment of 
 tank wagon delivery pric?s and of prices 
 at certain primary inland terminals and 
 jobbers’ bulk plants is incorporated in 
 the spelled out prices to include increases 
 in costs of transportation as permitted 
 by the Massachusetts Department of 
 Public Utilities subsequent to January 
 25, 1951. Transportation cost increases 
 have averaged about .08 of a cent per 
 gallon, but in no case has this cost in¬ 
 creased by more than A of a cent per 
 gallon. To conform with the customary 
 pricing practice in the Greater Boston 
 Area of adjusting prices by tenths of a 
 cent, and to provide uniformity through¬ 
 out the area, one-tenth of a cent has 
 been added to the base period tank 
 wagon ceiling prices. In the case of in¬ 
 land terminals and jobbers' barge termi- 
 
 WASHINGTON 
 
 nals or bulk plants one-twentieth of a 
 cent has been added to cover the addi¬ 
 tional transportation costs to those 
 points.

 SPECIAL FUEL OIL 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency Order No. 2, this Supplementary 
 Regulation No. 5 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17 (16 F. R. 3033), is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 The purpose of this Supplementary 
 Regulation 5 to CPR 17 is to establish a 
 generally fair and equitable ceiling price 
 for the sale or delivery of Navy Special 
 Fuel Oil by Gulf, East and West Coast 
 refiners. The demand for this fuel has 
 increased substantially since the out¬ 
 break of war in Korea and with the 
 expansion of our Naval activities inci¬ 
 dent to the present defense effort. 
 
 Navy Special Fuel Oil is a residual 
 type petroleum fuel made according to 
 the specification of the U. S. Navy. It is 
 somewhat comparable in use to Bunker 
 “C” fuel oil, but its specifications mean 
 a product of lower viscosity and better 
 burning quality. It can be made as a 
 product of distilling operations but more 
 frequently is made as a blend of Bunker 
 “C” fuel oil or other residual oil com¬ 
 bined with cutter stocks. The type of 
 cutter stocks used and the proportion 
 thereof would vary with the refinery and 
 type of crude oil being processed. Fin¬ 
 ished No. 2 heating oil may be used as 
 the cutter stock, but so also may unfin¬ 
 ished heating oil or low grade cutter 
 stocks not normally marketed commer¬ 
 cially. 
 
 General price standards. It is cus¬ 
 tomary for the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion to look to prices established under 
 normal competitive conditions as guides 
 in the establishment of fair prices during 
 periods of emergency. These - custom¬ 
 ary practices have been used by the 
 Agency in the establishment of ceiling 
 prices for Navy Special. This follows 
 the pattern of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 17. the basic petroleum regulation cov¬ 
 ering bulk petroleum products, which is 
 a freeze-type regulation taking base pe¬ 
 
 riod competitive prices as its standard 
 price structure. 
 
 Prior to promulgating Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17, and after consulting with 
 an Industry Advisory Committee, the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization made a find¬ 
 ing that the prices for petroleum prod¬ 
 ucts in effect during the base period, 
 December 19, 1950, to January 25, 1951, 
 were generally fair and equitable. This 
 finding has not been challenged by any 
 major segment of the industry. 
 
 It was inevitable, of course, that the 
 base period would find certain products 
 of the industry in a less profitable posi¬ 
 tion than others, but this situation is en¬ 
 tirely normal in an industry which is as 
 complex and dynamic as the petroleum 
 industry. 
 
 This point is of the utmost impor¬ 
 tance, since it is now contended by the 
 oil companies which were consulted that 
 the ceiling price for Navy Special Fuel 
 Oil should be computed upon the basis of 
 a weighted average, 70 percent weight 
 for the ceiling price of Bunker C and a 
 30 percent weight for the ceiling price of 
 No. 2 heating oil. Apart from the fact 
 that this contention assumes the use of 
 particular ingredients and that other in¬ 
 gredients are also likely to be used, the 
 contention is unsound as a binding prin¬ 
 ciple. It is not generally fair and equi¬ 
 table to buyers and sellers, since it dis¬ 
 regards the fact that customarily prices 
 for this product have not been deter¬ 
 mined 6n that basis. Navy Special Fuel 
 Oil has in fact consistently sold below 
 the weighted average formula contended 
 for. This was the case, for example, in 
 the year prior to Korea, and has indeed 
 been the fact, with only isolated excep¬ 
 tions for short periods of time, since 1940. 
 
 However, some adjustment from the 
 base period delivery prices for cargo sales 
 of Navy Special Fuel Oil is appropriate 
 in order to meet military requirements. 
 The basis for and the extent of the ad¬ 
 justment are indicated below. 
 
 Price history. The three coastal areas 
 of the United States are considered by 
 the industry as distinctive refining and 
 marketing regions. On the West Coast, 
 prices of $2.15 per barrel at Los Angeles 
 and $2.20 per barrel at San Francisco 
 are clearly established by the price pat¬ 
 tern of sales of Navy Special between the 
 outbreak of the Korean War and Janu¬ 
 ary 25, 1951, the end of the base period. 
 
 The low cargo price of Bunker “C” 
 Fuel Oil on the Gulf Coast, as clearly 
 established by many sales during the 
 base period, was $1.75 and this is the 
 prevailing ceiling price. During most of 
 the period since World War II the mili¬ 
 tary services have obtained supplies of 
 
 Navy Special Fuel Oil op the Gulf Coast, 
 on the East Coast and in the Caribbean 
 at prices no higher than 17 cents per 
 barrel over the low cargo price on Bunker 
 “C” Fuel Oil published in ‘ Platt’s Oil- 
 gram”. This amounted to prices for 
 Navy Special Fuel Oil not exceeding 
 $1.92 in the Gulf and Caribbean. But 
 it is appropriate for various reasons to 
 establish a higher ceiling than $1.92. 
 
 First, the Armed Services Petroleum 
 Procurement Agency has recently paid 
 $2.00 per barrel for Navy Special in the 
 Caribbean, or 25 cents over Bunker “C”. 
 While prices in the Caribbean are not 
 subject to price control, nevertheless, 
 some weight must be given to the pattern 
 in that area since it has historically 
 been very closely related to U. S. Gulf 
 Coast and East Coast prices. 
 
 Even more important is the fact that 
 the base period delivery price of $1.92, 
 which represents a differential of 17 
 cents per barrel over Bunker “C”, reflects 
 the sales of the single company which 
 was the principal source of supply on the 
 Gulf and East Coasts during the base 
 period. Other companies are now being 
 sought as sources of supply, and some¬ 
 what different conditions may prevail 
 for companies using different refining 
 techniques. Great weight, therefore, is 
 given to the fact that another major 
 company had a base period posted price 
 of $2.19 per barrel f. o. b. refinery for 
 barge deliveries and this company has 
 advised that its normal cargo price on 
 this basis would have been $2.09 per 
 barrel. This company and two other 
 major companies are currently supplying 
 Navy Special in barge quantities at 
 equivalent prices. 
 
 The above price history of Navy Spe¬ 
 cial tends to indicate that a fair and 
 equitable general ceiling price for cargo 
 sales would be approximately $2.09 per 
 barrel. However, a critical fact support¬ 
 ing this conclusion, and leading to the 
 ceiling price of $2.10, appears upon an 
 examination of ceiling prices for com¬ 
 parable sales of a similar commercial 
 product. 
 
 Such comparison may validly be made 
 with certain gas-enrichment oils which 
 have a different end use but which are 
 very similar in quality and contain es¬ 
 sentially the same components as Navy 
 Special Fuel Oil. During the subsequent 
 to the base period, one company posted a 
 cargo price of $2.10 per barrel at the 
 Gulf, which amounted to 35 cents per 
 barrel over Bunker “C”. Three com¬ 
 panies were selling gas-enrichment oils 
 of essentially the same quality in the 
 New York and New England areas at 
 
81 Trans 34:702 
 
 prices ranging from 25 to 35 cents per 
 barrel over Bunker “C”. 
 
 In the light of the foregoing, a ceiling 
 price of $2.10 per barrel for cargo sales 
 of Navy Special Fuel Oil, f. o. b. Gulf 
 Coast ports is established by this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation. This is a fair and 
 equitable price, reflecting full considera¬ 
 tion of military needs and of the inter¬ 
 ests of the suppliers and the public. 
 
 The price histories cited above, the 
 close historical relationship between 
 Gulf and East Coast markets, and the 
 normal relationship between prices in 
 the two areas, justify the establishment 
 of an East Coast price of $2.70 per barrel, 
 which represents the same differential 
 over a calculated East Coast cargo price 
 for Bunker “C” as is established on the 
 Gulf Coast. 
 
 In the formulation of this Supplemen¬ 
 tary Regulation, the Director of Price 
 Stabilization has consulted with the Pe¬ 
 troleum Administrator for Defense, the 
 Armed Services Petroleum Agency and

 this Supplementary Regulation. Al¬ 
 though their recommendations have not 
 been accepted in full, careful considera¬ 
 tion has been given to them.

 UPPER NEW YORK STATE 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive 
 Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Eco¬ 
 nomic Stabilization Agency General Or¬ 
 der No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Supplemen¬ 
 tary Regulation No. 6 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17 (16 F. R. 3033), is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This supplementary regulation to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 17 is applicable to 
 the f. o. b. terminal ceiling prices of 
 ^ kerosene, distillate heating oils, Diesel 
 fuels and gas enrichment oils along the 
 upper Hudson River and the New York 
 Barge Canal. 
 
 A large volume of these products regu¬ 
 larly distributed in up-state New York 
 is transported into the area by barges on 
 the upper Hudson River and the New 
 York State Barge Canal from the New 
 York Harbor area. These inland water¬ 
 ways normally are closed to navigation in 
 the winter season. Stocks of fuel oil 
 transported in this manner are accu¬ 
 mulated and stored in the summer for 
 use during the following winter. Other 
 methods of bringing products into the 
 area include pipeline, truck transport 
 and to some extent tank car shipment. 
 In one area a refinery supplies consider¬ 
 able volume. Despite this variation in 
 transportation methods and costs, these 
 products have generally been sold at a 
 uniform price at each distribution point 
 regardless of the method by which they 
 were transported. Because of the sub¬ 
 stantial volume shipped into the area by 
 barge, the level of prices customarily re¬ 
 flects the changes in barge transporta¬ 
 tion rates. 
 
 The upper Hudson River and the 
 Barge Canal were closed in winter, as 
 usual, in 1950-1951, including the base 
 period of December 19, 1950 through 
 January 25, 1951. When spring arrived, 
 and navigation was reopened, contract 
 carriers operating barges had no ceiling 
 j prices, as the general pricing provisions 
 U the General Ceiling Price Regulation 
 which used base period deliveries or of¬ 
 fers as the basis for pricing could not 
 apply. 
 
 Distributors of fuel oil for the 1951- 
 1952 season signed contracts with barge 
 operators, some before, some during, and 
 some subsequent to the base period, and 
 these contracts specified a variety of 
 transportation rates which reflected the 
 fluctuating charter market. These 
 rates were generally higher than compa¬ 
 rable rates for the preceding season. 
 
 In order to stabilize barge transporta¬ 
 tion costs the Office of Price Stabilization 
 issued Supplementary Regulation 12 
 (and Amendment 1 thereto) to the Gen¬ 
 eral Ceiling Price Regulation which es¬ 
 tablished ceilings for barge rates. How¬ 
 ever, in recognition of transportation 
 contracts entered into prior to the gen¬ 
 eral freeze date, the barge ceilings were 
 set at levels higher than those in effect 
 when dealers computed the prices for 
 fuel oils which were being sold during 
 the base period. 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17 included 
 in section 25 a provision allowing a pass 
 through of post-base period transporta¬ 
 tion cost increases which are directly at¬ 
 tributable to an increase in transporta¬ 
 tion rates permitted by the Office of 
 Price Stabilization or a State or Federal 
 Regulatory body. 
 
 The transportation cost increases 
 over 1950 resulting from the barge rates 
 established by OPS have thus resulted 
 in higher ceiling prices except for those 
 distributors whose barge contracts were 
 signed prior to the end of the base pe¬ 
 riod and those who receive their fuel 
 oil by other modes of transportation. 
 However, increases in rail rates author¬ 
 ized by the Interstate Commerce Com¬ 
 mission have also been reflected in 
 higher ceiling prices which vary by lo¬ 
 cality and from seller to seller. 
 
 This supplementary regulation imple¬ 
 ments the principle contained in section 
 25 of CPR 17 and restores the customary 
 price relationships in each specific mar¬ 
 keting area by spelling out uniform 
 amounts of increase based upon the in¬ 
 creases in barge rates. The increases in 
 f. o. b. terminal ceiling prices for kero¬ 
 sene, No. 2 fuel oil and other distillates 
 range from 0.1 cent to 0.4 cent per 
 gallon. 
 
 In the preparation of this regulation, 
 the director consulted with industry 
 representatives, including representa¬ 
 tives of trade associations, to the extent 
 practicable and gave consideration to 
 their recommendations. 
 
 Representatives of both major and in¬ 
 dependent oil companies throughout the 
 affected area conferred with the New 
 York Regional Office staff in regard to 
 the pricing problems involved, and have 
 submitted ecoonmic data to support their 
 request for price action. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the adjustment of 
 ceiling prices permitted by this supple¬ 
 
 mentary regulation is generally fair and 
 equitable and is necessary to effectuate 
 the purposes of Title IV of the Defense 
 Production Act of 1950, as amended.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 'Propane, Butane, and Propane/Bu¬ 
 tane mixtures, usually referred to as 
 Liquefied Petroleum Gas by industrial 
 users, and as “bottled gas” by residential 
 consumers, are manufactured from 
 vapors extracted from natural gas and 
 refinery gas. Production, storage, and 
 distribution of liquefied petroleum gas 
 constitutes a relatively new and rapidly 
 growing industry, consumption having 
 increased from approximately 313 mil¬ 
 lion gallons in 1940 to over 4 billion gal¬ 
 lons in 1951. 
 
 Prior to and during the base period 
 of December 19, 1950-January 25, 1951 
 prices for this product were rising under 
 an increasing demand usual to the win¬ 
 ter months, accentuated by the general 
 increasing demand for this product. 
 Ceiling prices of resellers of this product 
 were first established by the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation, effective Jan¬ 
 uary 26, 1951 which froze prices gener¬ 
 ally at the level of the highest prices 
 charged during the base period. With 
 minor modifications Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 17 has carried over the same 
 pricing method. Because of the time 
 lag involved in distributing liquefied pe¬ 
 troleum gas, the prices charged by many 
 resellers during the base period did not 
 reflect the higher prices charged by their 
 suppliers and by producers during the 
 base period 
 
 In addition to the higher product cost 
 from usual supply sources, increased de¬ 
 mand has made it necessary for many 
 resellers to buy substantial amounts of 
 their supply from more distant sources 
 at higher cost; also transportation costs, 
 which are particularly important for re¬ 
 sellers of these products have increased 
 because of the general increases in rail 
 freight rates. 
 
 While margins of profit among re¬ 
 sellers vary, these margins are generally 
 narrow, and any substantial Increase in 
 
 costs of obtaining the product results in 
 hardships for the reseller. Because of 
 this, numerous applications have been 
 received from distributors of liquefied 
 petroleum gas for adjustments in ceiling 
 prices to avoid the reduction In their 
 gross and net margins which they have 
 experienced. 
 
 For these reasons, and as an interim 
 step in the formulation of a tailored reg¬ 
 ulation for the liquefied petroleum gas 
 industry, the original freeze technique 
 is being modified to permit resellers to 
 adjust their ceiling prices to reflect these 
 increased product and transportation 
 costs. 
 
 This regulation contains two adjust¬ 
 ment provisions. The first provision 
 permits the addition to ceiling prices of 
 the increase in cost of product and trans¬ 
 portation that has occurred during the 
 first year of price control This ad¬ 
 justment may be taken immediately. 
 The second provision permits resellers a 
 one-time, interim adjustment to reflect 
 increases in product and transportation 
 costs that have bccurred since January 
 31, -1952. In order to prevent this ad¬ 
 justment on the basis of isolated high 
 cost spot purchases, the reseller may ad¬ 
 just his ceiling prices only to the extent 
 that the average of these costs for the 
 three-month period immediately prior to 
 his selected date of adjustment has in¬ 
 creased above costs at the end of the first 
 year of price control. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation there has been consulta¬ 
 tion with industry representatives, 
 including trade association representa¬ 
 tives, and consideration has been given 
 to their recommendations. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization, the provisions of this 
 supplementary regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Section 1 . What this supplementary 
 regulation does. If you resell liquefied 
 petroleum gas at any level of distribution 
 
 other than at a retail establishment (as 
 covered by Ceiling Price Regulation 13) 
 you may redetermine your ceiling prices 
 under the provisions of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation. If you do determine 
 your ceiling prices under this regulation 
 and put these new ceiling prices into 
 effect, you may not again determine your 
 ceiling prices under this supplementary 
 regulation unless there is an increase in 
 the ceiling price of your supplier as a 
 result of the operation of this regulation 
 or of another official act of the Office of 
 Price Stabilization. 
 
 Sec. 2. Cost increases to retail distrib¬ 
 utors through January 31, 1952. (a) 
 
 If you are a retail distributor of liquefied 
 petroleum gas you may increase your 
 original Ceiling Price Regulation 17 ceil¬ 
 ing prices in each pricing area to each 
 class of purchaser and for each quantity 
 bracket by the amount of increase in 
 laid-down cost per unit you have in¬ 
 curred at each of your distribution 
 points. This increase shall be either (1) 
 the difference between your average 
 laid-down cost per unit during the three- 
 month period ending January 31, 1951, 
 and your average laid-down cost per unit 
 during the three-month period ending 
 January 31, 1952; or (2) the difference 
 between your average laid-down cost per 
 unit during the calendar year of 1950 
 and your ayerage laid-down cost per 
 unit during the three-month period end¬ 
 ing January 31, 1952. 
 
 (b) If you determine ceiling prices in 
 accordance with this section for any one 
 customer or for any quantity bracket, 
 you must determine ceiling prices by the 
 same method for all customers and 
 quantity brackets in the same pricing 
 area. 
 
 (c) This section shall not be applica¬ 
 ble to sales of liquefied petroleum gas 
 where all or part of the product sold in 
 such area has been produced or manu¬ 
 factured by you. 
 
 Sec. 3. Cost increases to resellers at 
 wholesale through January 31,1952. (a) 
 If you are a reseller of liquefied petro¬ 
 leum gas at the wholesale level, your 
 ceiling prices for each shipping or de¬ 
 livery point to each class of purchaser 
 may be increased by the amount of in¬ 
 crease in ydjur laid-down cost per unit 
 at that shipping or delivery point since 
 January 31, 1951. This increase is the 
 difference between your average laid- 
 down cost per unit at each shipping or 
 delivery point during the three-month 
 period ending January 31,1951, and your 
 average laid-down cost per unit during 
 the three-month period ending January 
 31, 1952. 
 
 (b) If you determine your ceiling 
 prices for one class of customer at any 
 shipping or delivery point by the method 
 set forth in this section, you must deter¬ 
 mine your ceiling prices for all classes 
 
81 Trans 34:902 
 
 of purchasers at the same point by the 
 same method. 
 
 (c) If you resell liquefied petroleum 
 gas at the retail distributor level and 
 also at the wholesale level, you must 
 make separate computations of ceiling 
 prices at each level when adjusting your 
 ceiling prices under this supplementary 
 regulation. 
 
 (d) This section shall not be applica¬ 
 ble to sales of liquefied petroleum gas 
 when all or part of the product sold at 
 such shipping or delivery point has been 
 produced or manufactured by you. 
 
 Sec. 4. Cost increases to retail distrib¬ 
 utors and wholesalers alter January 31, 
 1952. If your laid-down cost is in¬ 
 creased after January 31, 1952, as a re¬ 
 sult of an increase in the ceiling prices 
 of your supplier or suppliers because of 
 the operation of this regulation, or other 
 official act of the Office of Price Stabi¬ 
 lization, or as a result of an increase in 
 transportation costs incurred in obtain¬ 
 ing your product, you may increase your 
 ceiling price under this regulation by the 
 dollars and cents amount of such in¬ 
 crease. This increase is the difference 
 between your average laid-down cost 
 during the three-month period ending 
 January 31, 1952, and your average laid- 
 down cost during the three calendar 
 month period prior to the month during 
 which such increase in ceiling price is 
 placed in effect. This adjustment may 
 be made at any time selected by the 
 seller but may not be made more than 
 once. 
 
 Sec. 5. Relation to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 17. (a) If you are a reseller of 
 
 liquefied petroleum gas and have ceiling 
 prices determined under the provisions 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation 17 you may 
 continue to use those ceiling prices. 
 
 (b) Sellers subject to this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation shall be subject to 
 all provisions of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 17 not inconsistent with the provisions of 
 this supplementary regulation. 
 
 Sec. 6. Customary discounts. If you 
 determine your ceiling prices under this 
 supplementary regulation you must con¬ 
 tinue to maintain your customary dis¬ 
 counts and allowances based upon the 
 terms and conditions of sale. 
 
 Sec. 7. Records. In addition to such 
 other records as are required by section 
 14 of Ceiling Price Regulation 17, you 
 must, if you use this supplementary 
 regulation to adjust your ceiling prices, 
 keep records clearly showing how you 
 determined your adjusted ceiling prices, 
 and those records which you used as a 
 basis for such determination. 
 
 Sec. 8. Definitions, (a) “Liquefied pe¬ 
 troleum gas” means butane, propane 
 and butane/propane mixtures. 
 
 (b) "Laid-down cost" means the 
 amount per unit paid to your supplier 
 or suppliers for the product plus the 
 unit cost of transportation incurred by 
 you in moving the product to the ship¬ 
 ping or delivery point or in the case of a 
 retail distributor to place of storage or 
 its equivalent. Where you use your own 
 
 transportation or transportation you 
 control in lieu of transportation for 
 which rates are set or controlled by Fed¬ 
 eral or State regulatory bodies, the cost 
 of transportation referred to in this 
 definition shall be the rate charged by 
 such controlled carrier. 
 
 (c) “Original Ceiling Price Regulation 
 17 ceiling prices” means the first ceiling 
 prices determined under the provisions 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation 17, excluding 
 any increases thereafter permitted by 
 that regulation or by any other official 
 act of the Office of Price Stabilization. 
 
 (d) “Pricing area” means that geo- 
 grahical area in which you maintain a 
 single pricing schedule for all customers 
 of the same class and for each quantity 
 bracket. 
 
 (e) -“Retail distributor” means a re¬ 
 seller whose ceiling prices of liquefied pe¬ 
 troleum gas are determined by Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 17 and whose sales are 
 primarily to consumers at the retail 
 level. 
 
 Effective date. This supplementary 
 regulation shall become effective May 12, 
 1952.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency Order No. 2, this Supplementary 
 Regulation .No. 8 to Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 17, is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This action authorizes an increase of 
 $0,003 per gallon for tank wagon deliv¬ 
 eries of No. 2 Fuel Oil in the Metropoli¬ 
 tan Baltimore, Maryland area. Such in¬ 
 crease is based upon and is consistent 
 with the principles embodied in the in¬ 
 dustry earnings standard. 
 
 Early in the 1951-52 heating season, 
 sellers of domestic heating oils in the 
 Baltimore, Maryland area applied for a 
 price increase. Data was submitted by 
 individual firms which showed that de¬ 
 spite increases in the volume of sales 
 their percentage of profit as related to 
 
 sales and net worth was significantly 
 lower than that of 1950 and prior years. 
 
 Application of the industry earnings 
 standard to the fuel oil distributors in 
 the Baltimore, Maryland area indicated 
 that an increase of $0,003 per gallon for 
 tank wagon deliveries of fuel oil to do¬ 
 mestic consumers in the Metropolitan 
 Baltimore, Maryland area was necessary 
 to meet the minimum requirements of 
 the standard. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the increase herein 
 granted is consistent with the principles 
 embodied in the earnings standard as 
 applied to distributors of essential com¬ 
 modities in a local area. 
 
 In the formulation of this regulation 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade asso¬ 
 ciations representatives, and considera¬ 
 tion has been given to their recommen¬ 
 dations. 
 
 FINDINGS OF THE DIRECTOR OF PRICE 
 STABILIZATION 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization this Supplementary 
 Regulation 8 is generally fair and equita¬ 
 ble and necessary to effectuate the pur¬ 
 poses of Title IV of the Defense Produc¬ 
 tion Act of 1950, as amended.

 PRICES IN CERTAIN WEST COAST REFINERY 
 AND TERMINAL PRICE' AREAS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 9 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This supplementary regulation to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17 establishes 
 specific dollars-and-cents ceiling prices 
 for tank wagon and “rack” sales of auto¬ 
 motive gasoline in certain West Coast 
 refinery and terminal price areas. The 
 prices normally charged by wholesalers 
 of motor gasoline in these areas for tank 
 wagon sales were approximately uniform 
 in each area for several years antedating 
 the issuance of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 17. For “rack gasoline”, however, which 
 was sold in substantial volume at the 
 refineries or refinery facilities and at 
 certain bulk storage plants, sales were 
 made to a special class of purchasers 
 at a customary differential below the 
 prevailing tank wagon price for the area. 
 This type of discount transaction is cus¬ 
 tomarily referred to as the sale of “rack 
 gasoline” or “rack price gasoline.” This 
 gasoline is sold either f. o. b. the refinery 
 or bulk plant, with transportation pro¬ 
 vided by the ultimate consumer or buyer, 
 or is sold on a delivered-at-destination 
 basis which consists of the “rack price” 
 plus customary transportation charges. 
 
 In establishing specific dollars-and- 
 cents ceiling prices in the areas desig¬ 
 nated, consideration has been given to 
 the correction of price inequities which 
 existed to a minor degree in some in¬ 
 stances. Such inequities were caused 
 mainly by price wars which were in effect 
 immediately prior to and during the base 
 period. Failure to adjust these ceiling 
 prices would prolong existing price in¬ 
 equities among sellers and retain price 
 inequities which would have been elim¬ 
 inated had the market been free to ad¬ 
 just itself. 
 
 Examination of prices on “rack gaso¬ 
 line” shows that the customary differen¬ 
 tial off tank wagon is predominantly 3 
 cents per gallon, as established in this 
 regulation. In a few instances the dis¬ 
 count is slightly less than 3 cents, while 
 
 OF PRICE STABILIZATION 
 
 WASHINGTON 
 
 in others it is higher as a result of price 
 war conditions which existed during the 
 latter part of 1950 and continued 
 through the base period. 
 
 It is also the purpose of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation to restore and es¬ 
 tablish the customary differential be¬ 
 tween the tank wagon ceiling price and 
 the “rack” ceiling price to give relief to 
 those sellers whose ceilings were frozen 
 at abnormally low levels. 
 
 The determination of ceiling prices, as 
 effected by this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion, is regarded as essential to the main¬ 
 tenance of gasoline supplies through 
 customary channels of distribution. 
 Depletion of gasoline inventories has re¬ 
 sulted in a tight supply situation and a 
 dislocation of supply channels threatens 
 within the areas unless the price inequi¬ 
 ties are removed. 
 
 The customary pricing practice on the 
 Pacific Coast is to quote wholesale prices 
 for deliveries other than by tank wagon 
 in terms of discounts under or premiums 
 over the tank wagon price. It is, there¬ 
 fore, essential to establish, coincident 
 with the restoration of the normal differ¬ 
 ential for “rack” transactions, the pre¬ 
 vailing tank wagon prices as the ceiling 
 prices. * Evidence is on file to show that 
 the posted tank wagon prices of sellers 
 in the areas covered by this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation were, as of September 1, 
 195-1, and have continued to be the pre¬ 
 vailing tank wagon prices. No change in 
 general price levels is being affected. Be¬ 
 cause of the existence .of reasonably 
 uniform prices, the establishment of 
 dollars-and-cents prices is facilitated. 
 The specific tank wagon prices which are 
 spelled out by this regulation were in 
 effect in the latter part of 1950; they 
 became the ceilings during the base 
 period; and have been maintained to 
 date. They are regarded by the West 
 Coast Petroleum Wholesale Industry 
 Advisory Committee as fair and equit¬ 
 able. Moreover, the establishment of 
 dollars-and-cents ceiling prices for tank 
 wagon deliveries is in accordance with 
 the announced policy of this Agency to 
 establish specific ceiling prices, which 
 situation is desirable from the standpoint 
 of the consuming public, the sellers and 
 the Government. 
 
 In the preparation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation the Director has con¬ 
 sulted with industry representatives in¬ 
 cluding the West Coast Petroleum 
 Wholesale Industry Advisory Committee 
 and trade association representatives, to 
 the extent practicable and has given con¬ 
 sideration to their recommendations. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization, the provisions of this 
 supplementary regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 DISTILLATES ON THE EAST COAST 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive 
 Order 10161, and Economic Stabiliza¬ 
 tion Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Supplementary Regulation No. 10 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This supplementary regulation estab¬ 
 lishes specific cents-per-gallon ceiling 
 prices at named Eastern Seaboard refin¬ 
 ery and terminaling points for kerosene, 
 No. 2 heating oil and the principal grades 
 of Diesel fuel. These ceiling prices rep¬ 
 resent an increase of 0.65 cents per gal¬ 
 lon over the base period ceiling in tank 
 car prices for f. o. b. delivery of No. 2 
 fuel oil at North Atlantic refineries and 
 seaboard terminals, and the regulation 
 provides for a pass-through of that 0.65- 
 cent increase at subsequent levels of 
 sale. 
 
 In addition a further increase of 0.15 
 cents per gallon is allowed such resellers 
 as bulk plant operators, independent 
 jobbers or distributors receiving their 
 products from the seaboard terminal 
 and refinery points at the newly estab¬ 
 lished ceilings. Where the seaboard 
 refinery or terminal operators may make 
 sales to buyers other than bulk plant 
 operators—for example, direct sales to 
 large commercial accounts, they, the re¬ 
 finery or terminal operators, also are 
 permitted to add the 0.15 cents in keep¬ 
 ing with established industry practices. 
 However, in no case will the ceiling price 
 to an ultimate consumer be increased 
 more than 0.8 cents per gallon above 
 present ceiling prices by this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation. 
 
 The problem of providing for adequate 
 supplies of middle distillates, particu¬ 
 larly No. 2 heating oil, for both domestic 
 and industrial consumers on the Eastern 
 Seaboard has vexed the responsible 
 agencies of Government and the indus¬ 
 try, as well as consumers, continuously 
 since late 1951. The common denomi¬ 
 nator in all approaches toward solution 
 of the problem has been the recognition 
 that adequate supplies of these prod¬ 
 ucts must be made available on the East¬ 
 ern Seaboard throughout the heating 
 season if grave disruption of the do¬ 
 
 mestic economy and injury to the de¬ 
 fense program are to be avoided. The 
 problem is complicated by many factors 
 of product price, both on the- Eastern 
 Seaboard and in the Gulf (whence most 
 of the supplies are obtained), competi¬ 
 tive forces within the industry, fluctuat¬ 
 ing transportation costs and even the 
 vagaries of the weather. Consequently, 
 in the continuing study of the problem 
 a mass of material has been developed 
 by the Office of Price Stabilization, Pe¬ 
 troleum Administration for Defense, the 
 Economic Stabilization Agency and other 
 sources. In order to resolve conflicts in 
 views and recommendations variously 
 advanced, and to insure that adequate 
 supplies of middle distillate fuel oils will 
 be made available on the Eastern Sea¬ 
 board during the coming heating sea¬ 
 son, Dr. J. R. Steelman, Acting Director, 
 Office of Defense Mobilization, has issued 
 a directive in the form of a letter ad¬ 
 dressed to Mr. Roger Putman, Admin¬ 
 istrator, Economic Stabilization Agency. 
 The full text of that letter is quoted be¬ 
 low: 
 
 Executive Office of the President 
 
 OFFICE OF DEFENSE MOBILIZATION 
 
 Washington 25, D. C., June 13, 1952. 
 Office of the Director 
 
 Hon. Roger L. Putnam, 
 
 Administrator, Economic Stabilization 
 Agency, Washington, D. C. 
 
 Dear Mr. Putnam: This is in reference to 
 your letter of June 11, regarding the proposed 
 increase in the price of heating oil on the 
 East Coast. I have examined with great care 
 the materials presented by your Office, by 
 the Office of Price stabilization and by the 
 Petroleum Administration for Defense. 
 
 It is extremely important that we take 
 all necessary actions to assure an adequate 
 supply of fuel oil for the East Coast during 
 the coming heating season. At the same 
 time, in the interests of protecting con¬ 
 sumers against unnecessary increases in the 
 cost of living, it is imperative that any in¬ 
 crease in the price of fuel oil which may be 
 made to facilitate shipments of oil to the 
 east coast should be held to the minimum. 
 
 I am also concerned about the effects 
 which any action taken may have upon job¬ 
 bers and local distributors of fuel oil. Due 
 allowance should be given to the effects of an 
 increase in wholesale prices upon their Oper¬ 
 ating costs. 
 
 I am also concerned about interferences 
 with normal contracting and marketing prac¬ 
 tices which may have been, or subsequently 
 may be, caused by uncertainties regarding 
 the price structure for fuel oils, during the 
 coming heating season. It is highly impor¬ 
 tant; that we take definite and final action at 
 this time. 
 
 It is my conclusion, after very careful study 
 of all of the evidence which has been sub¬ 
 mitted, that an increase in the East Coast re¬ 
 tail price of distillate fuel oils of 0.80 cents 
 per gallon should be authorized, and that 
 0.15 cents per gallon of this increase should 
 be reserved for jobbers and distributors. 
 
 I am sending a copy of this letter to the 
 Secretary of the Interior, and am asking him 
 to cooperate to the fullest by taking whatever 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17 
 Supplementary Regulation 10 
 
 JUNE 30, 1952 
 
 steps are necessary to insure an adequate pro¬ 
 duction and equitable distribution of fuel oil 
 during this coming winter. I am also writing 
 the Maritime Administration and asking 
 them to study the developing situation with 
 respect to the supply of tankers, and to take 
 such actions as are necessary to assure ade¬ 
 quate tankers to move oil to the east coast 
 in the necessary volume this winter. 
 
 Sincerely yours, 
 
 John R. Steelman. 
 
 Based on the foregoing, this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 17 is issued. As already indi¬ 
 cated, the principal middle distillate fuel 
 is No. 2 heating oil, and therefore No. 2 
 is used in this supplementary regulation 
 as the basis for pricing of the other dis¬ 
 tillates, retaining the customary price 
 relationships between products prevalent 
 in the industry. Similarly, in setting 
 the ceilings applicable at Norfolk and 
 areas south of Norfolk, use of a progres¬ 
 sively decreasing factor for costs of 
 transportation is dictated by industry 
 practice, and, consequently, increases 
 proportionately smaller than 0.65 cents 
 are included in the spielled-out ceiling 
 prices for those areas. This, again, 
 maintains the customary price relation¬ 
 ships as between points respectively 
 north and south of Norfolk.

 Section 1. What this supplementary 
 regulation does. This supplementary 
 regulation establishes specific tank car 
 ceiling prices for kerosene, No. 2 fuel oil 
 and 48/52 Diesel index gas oil f. o. b. 
 refineries and seaboard terminals in cer¬ 
 tain enumerated areas along the East 
 Coast of the United States. For barge 
 and cargo sales in these refinery-tanker 
 terminal areas, minimum discounts off 
 the specific tank car ceiling prices are 
 required, but where, customarily larger 
 discounts were in effect, such customary 
 discounts must be continued. Purchas¬ 
 ers obtaining product from these points 
 may increase their ceiling prices by the 
 amount of the increase of ceiling price 
 permitted their suppliers by this regula¬ 
 tion. In those areas where sellers have 
 customarily based their prices on prices 
 established at East Coast terminal and 
 refinery points, provision for adjustment 
 is also made. Ceiling prices for sales 
 of these products by operators of such 
 terminals or refineries to other than bulk 
 plant operators, and sales by bulk plant

 (b) F. o. b. barge ceiling prices to re¬ 
 sellers. If delivery is into barges, the 
 ceiling prices set forth in paragraph (a) 
 of |his section shall be reduced by the 
 amount of the seller’s customary differ¬ 
 ential under tank car prices, but in no 
 case shall this differential be less than 
 0.1 cents per gallon. 
 
 (c) Delivered cargo ceiling prices to 
 resellers. If delivery is by tank steamer 
 into buyer’s terminal, the ceiling prices 
 established in paragraph (a) of this sec¬ 
 tion shall be reduced by the amount of 
 the seller’s customary differential under 
 tank car prices, but in no case shall this 
 differential be less than 0.55 cents per 
 gallon. 
 
 (d) Other ceiling prices. (1) Ceiling 
 prices of resellers for these products ob¬ 
 tained from such terminals and refin¬ 
 eries may be increased by the amount of 
 increase permitted their suppliers by this 
 regulation. 
 
 (2) To the ceiling prices set forth in 
 sections 2 (a), (b) and (c), 0.15 cents per 
 gallon may be added for sales of these 
 products by operators of such terminals 
 or refineries to other than bulk plant 
 operators, and for sales by bulk plant 
 operators who receive product from these 
 terminals or refineries. This 0.15 cents 
 per gallon increase may not be applied 
 on sales at the tank car or transport 
 truck level. In no case may the price to 
 the ultimate consumer be increased more 
 than the amount of the adjustment pro¬ 
 vided for in the appropriate ceiling price 
 set forth in paragraph (a) of this sec¬ 
 tion, plus 0.15 cents per gallon. 
 
 (31 On sales at any point where the 
 seller's price for these products was cus¬ 
 
 tomarily based upon me selling price 
 at a point named in paragraph (a) of 
 this section, the ceiling prices may be 
 increased by the amount of the adjust¬ 
 ment contained in the appropriate ceil¬ 
 ing price established under this regu¬ 
 lation irrespective of the origin of the 
 product. 
 
 Sec. 3. Differentials lor other distillate 
 fuel oils. Any seller who during the base 
 period maintained a customary differ¬ 
 ential between either kerosene or No. 2 
 heating oil and other distillate fuel oils, 
 such as Diesel fuel. No. 1 heating oil, No. 
 3 heating oil, distillate No. 4 oil, and gas 
 house gas oil may determine ceiling 
 prices for these products by applying his 
 customary differential to the specific 
 ceiling prices established by this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation. 
 
 Sec. 4. Preservation of discounts and 
 allowances. All ceiling prices deter¬ 
 mined under this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion shall reflect your customary differ¬ 
 entials, discounts, and allowances in 
 effect during the base period. 
 
 Sec. 5. Applicability of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17 provisions. Sellers subject 
 to this supplementary regulation shall 
 be subject to all the provisions of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 17 not inconsistent 
 herewith.

 CLARIFYING AMENDMENT 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive 
 Order 10161. and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment to Supplementary Regula¬ 
 tion 10 to Celling Price Regulation 17 is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OP CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 10 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 17, establishing 
 
 specific ceiling prices for No. 2 heating 
 oil at certain East Coast points, per¬ 
 mitted 0.15 cents per gallon to be added 
 to the specific ceilings on all sales other 
 than to bulk plant operators. The in¬ 
 tention . was to allow addition of this 
 0.15 cents in those instances where the 
 seaboard terminal or refinery makes any 
 sales direct to consumers. This was 
 plainly set forth in the Statement of 
 Considerations as well as in section 1 
 of the supplementary regulation. How¬ 
 ever, because of certain language con¬ 
 tained in section 2 (d) (2), some sellers 
 have raised the question whether the 
 0.15 cents may be added on consumer 
 tank-car sales as described above. To 
 remove any doubt or possible ambi¬ 
 guity, this amendment rewords section 
 2 (d) (2) so as to make it clear that the 
 0.15 cents may be added on any sales to 
 consumers, but that the 0.15 cents may 
 not be added by refinery of terminal 
 operators on sales to bulk plant oper¬ 
 ators, nor by bulk plant operators on 
 sales to other bulk Diant operators. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 2 (d) (2) of Supplementary 
 Regulation 10 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 17 is amended to read as follows: 
 
 (2) To the ceiling prices set forth in 
 sections 2 (a), (b) and (c), 0.15 cents per 
 gallon may be added by operators of such 
 terminals or refineries and by bulk plant 
 operators receiving product from these 
 terminals or refineries, when making 
 sales of these products to other than bulk 
 plant operators, including consumers. In 
 no case may the price to the ultimate 
 consumer be increased more than the 
 amount of the adjustment provided for 
 in the appropriate celling price set forth 
 In paragraph (a) of this section, plus 
 0.15 cents per gallon.

 INT. 1-DETERMINATION OF PRICES AT TANK 
 
 CAR AND OTHER LEVELS (SECTION 2) 
 
 Several questions have been raised as 
 to the proper interpretation of the pric¬ 
 ing provisions of Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 10 to Ceiling Price Regulation 17. 
 
 Section 2 (a) of SR 10 establishes ceil¬ 
 ing prices at East Coast ports for tank 
 car or transport truck delivery for sale 
 to resellers. The phrase “tank car or 
 transport truck deliveries” refers to the 
 level of sales as distinguished from the 
 method of delivery. While the method 
 of delivery is ordinarily determinative of 
 the level of sale it is not necessarily so. 
 Section 2(d) (2) permits the addition 
 
 to the ceiling prices set forth in sections 
 2 (a), (b), and (c) of 0.15 cents per gallon 
 on sales by operators of terminals or re¬ 
 fineries and by bulk plant operators to 
 others than bulk plant operators, but this 
 0.15 cents per gallon may not be added on 
 sales to resellers at the tank car or trans¬ 
 port truck level. The 0.15 cents per gal¬ 
 lon cannot be added by either a terminal 
 or refinery operator or a bulk plant 
 operator on sales to a dealer who uses 
 bulk storage in the regular conduct of his 
 kerosene and fuel oil business, unless, 
 despite such dealer’s maintenance of 
 storage facilities, his supplier has cus¬ 
 tomarily classified and treated him from 
 the standpoint of price as a purchaser at 
 the tank wagon level as distinguished 
 from a purchaser at the tank car or 
 transport truck level. If the dealer’s 
 bulk plant is not used or is used for other 
 purposes than storage and distribution 
 he is not a bulk plant operator and may 
 be charged the 0.15 cents per gallon. 
 
 Section 4 of Supplementary Regula¬ 
 tion 10 requires the preservation of cus¬ 
 tomary differentials, discounts and al¬ 
 lowances in effect during the base period. 
 If the ceiling price established under SR 
 10 properly includes the 0.15 cents per 
 gallon allowable on sales to other than 
 
 bulk plant operators, customary differ¬ 
 entials, discounts and allowances must 
 be made from that ceiling price. For ex¬ 
 ample, if a reseller not operating a bulk 
 plant and not taking in tank car or 
 transport truck lots has customarily 
 bought on the basis of tank car prices 
 his supplier may add the 0.15 cents per 
 gallon to his price. However, having 
 done so, he must reduce the price by any 
 differentials, discounts or allowances 
 that were customarily granted that re¬ 
 seller. 
 
 Under section 2 (d) (1) resellers of 
 products obtained from terminals and 
 refineries may raise their prices to ulti¬ 
 mate consumers by the amount of the 
 increase allowable to their suppliers 
 under SR 10 regardless of whether they 
 have actually paid their suppliers that 
 increase. In any case, the ceiling price 
 on any sale to any ultimate consumer is 
 the appropriate, specific ceiling set forth 
 in sections 2 (a), 2 (b) or 2 (c) plus 0.15 
 cents per gallon.

 as amended, Executive'Order 10161 (15 
 F. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization

 to Ceiling Price Regulation 17 (16 F. R.

 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This supplementary regulation to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 17 establishes 
 
 • specific dollars and cents ceiling prices 
 for tank wagon sales of automotive gas¬ 
 olines, kerosene, diesel fuels, furnace oil 
 and stove oil at the majority of bulk 
 plants and areas adjacent to such bulk 
 plants in the States of California, Ore¬ 
 gon, Washington, Arizona, and Nevada. 
 It also establishes specific ceiling prices 
 for bunker grade diesel fuel for delivery 
 by pipe line into barges, or bunker tanks 
 of ocean-going vessels at major bunker¬ 
 ing ports in the States of California, 
 Oregon, and Washington. It is issued 
 to implement the previously announced 
 intent of the Director of Price Stabiliza*. 
 tion to establish specific ceiling prices 
 wherever possible and as quickly as pos¬ 
 sible. 
 
 Specific ceiling prices are adminis¬ 
 tratively desirable because they are pre¬ 
 cise, easily understood, and readily en¬ 
 forceable. They result in substantial 
 savings in manpower and cost of admin¬ 
 istration to government and to business. 
 They help consumers readily to ascer¬ 
 tain the ceiling prices of products. It is 
 particularly appropriate to take this 
 action in the aforementioned States 
 where the impact of procurement of 
 petroleum products for military use and 
 for the general defense program is re¬ 
 sulting in extreme economic pressures, 
 and where there have been many re¬ 
 quests for the establishment of specific 
 ceiling prices. 
 
 To determine the specific ceiling prices 
 enumerated in this regulation, the Office 
 of Price Stabilization, with the assist¬ 
 ance of the West Coast Petroleum 
 Wholesale Industry Advisory Commit¬ 
 
 tee, undertook in June 1951 a survey 
 of the wholesale ceiling prices for se¬ 
 lected products and types of delivery in 
 representative communities. It was an¬ 
 ticipated that, by gathering complete in¬ 
 formation on a substantial portion of 
 the market, data would be secured which 
 could be used as a basis for determining 
 ceiling prices at all bulk plants in the 
 area. For this survey sixty-six com¬ 
 munities were selected oh the basis of 
 population density, geographical and 
 trade area significance, and importance 
 as petroleum distribution points. 
 
 In furtherance of this survey, Office 
 of Price Stabilization Public Form No. 
 68 was sent to the Pacific Coast whole¬ 
 sale petroleum marketers doing business 
 at the communities selected. These 
 marketers represented all types of 
 wholesale seller, including refiner-mark¬ 
 eters, brokers, jobbers, purchase and 
 sale distributors, and heating oil dis¬ 
 tributors. The questionnaire asked for 
 information on each product with re¬ 
 spect to ceiling prices; the length of time 
 such ceiling prices had been in effect; 
 the current posted prices of reporting 
 companies; and information on the cur¬ 
 rent "going” prices if such “going” prices 
 applied to more than 50 percent of the 
 sales. Additionally, the marketers were 
 requested to file their current posted 
 prices and ceiling prices for all points 
 where they sold the products surveyed. 
 
 To permit quantitative analyses of the 
 sales volumes of each product and their 
 relationship to ceiling prices, data a$ to 
 the 1950 sales volumes were requested. 
 The 1,100 reports received covered dis¬ 
 tribution of products of which* 2,041,- 
 000,000 gallons were gasoline represent¬ 
 ing 42.1 percent of all motor gasoline 
 sold in the five Western States during 
 the year 1950. 
 
 From the analysis of the replies to the 
 questionnaire it was concluded that the 
 results of the survey were sufficient to 
 establish the ceiling prices spelled out in 
 this regulation. This was accomplished 
 by an intensive review of the prices and 
 sales volumes within the sixty-six points 
 which conclusively indicated that ceiling 
 prices could be spelled out on the basis 
 of representative ceiling prices of cer¬ 
 tain marketers. Thus, the balance of 
 the ceiling prices for all other bulk plant 
 points was arrived at by analysis of the 
 representative ceiling prices of the same 
 marketers. 
 
 Ceiling prices are spelled out at those 
 points only where evidence collected is 
 adequate and is truly representative of 
 specific ceiling prices. As further infor¬ 
 mation is accumulated action will be 
 taken in spelling out ceiling prices at 
 other points. 
 
 Since sometime has elapsed between 
 the accumulation of the information and 
 
 its analysis, the ceiling prices enumer¬ 
 ated do not include permissible trans¬ 
 portation cost increases since Septem¬ 
 ber 1, 1951 but provision is made where¬ 
 by these increases may be added to the 
 specific prices. The Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization will issue revised specific ceil¬ 
 ing prices to reflect permissible trans¬ 
 portation cost adjustments as soon as 
 the necessary information is assembled. 
 This supplementary regulation is not in¬ 
 tended to roll back higher existing ceil¬ 
 ing prices which reflect a customary dif¬ 
 ferential over the market price. A pro¬ 
 vision is included to permit a seller hav¬ 
 ing such a ceiling price which is higher 
 than the specific ceiling price enumer¬ 
 ated herein, to apply for the retention 
 of such ceiling price. If such a ceiling 
 is not reflective of a customary differ¬ 
 ential over the market it will be dis¬ 
 approved. 
 
 The issuance of this supplementary 
 regulation will not result in increases 
 in ceiling prices beyond increases al¬ 
 ready available to sellers under existing 
 regulations. The primary purpose of 
 this.supplementary regulation is to elim¬ 
 inate the difficulties inherent in estab¬ 
 lishing ceiling prices by formula. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation there has been consul¬

 essary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended.

 tion 17. 
 
 Authority: Sections 1 to 5 issued under 
 sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50 U. S. C. 
 App. Sup. 2154. Interpret or apply Title IV,

 P. R. 6105, 3 CFR, 1950 Supp. 
 
 Sec. 1. What this supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation does. This supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation spells out specific ceiling prices 
 at certain bulk plant points located in 
 the States of California, Washington, 
 Oregon, Arizona, and Nevada for tank 
 
81 Trans 34:1302 
 
 wagon deliveries of motor gasoline, kero¬ 
 sene, premium automotive diesel fuel 
 (P. S. 100), diesel fuel (P. S. 200), heat¬ 
 ing furnace oil (P. S. 200), and stove 
 oil (P. S. 100). Also spelled out are 
 specific ceiling prices for bunker grade 
 diesel fuel (P. S. 200) at 4 points. These 
 specific prices will be your ceiling prices 
 subject to permissible adjustments made 
 to reflect transportation increases effec¬ 
 tive after September 1, 1951. If your 
 ceiling price prior to the effective date 
 of this regulation was higher than the 
 ceiling price set forth in this regulation, 
 but your prior ceiling price reflects a 
 customary differential over the market, 
 you may apply to the Office of Price 
 Stabilization for permission to retain 
 such a higher ceiling price.

 REASONS FOR THIS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION 
 
 This request for information is sent to you by your OPS District Office,on the assumption that you sell light heating oils 
 to consumers. The Purvey initiated for collecting these data is being conducted at the specific request of industry representa¬ 
 tives (including some of your fellow dealers) in your marketing area. Procedures for such data collection are authorized by 
 Amendment 7 to OPS Ceiling Price Regulation 17. 
 
 Its purpose is to determine whether present earnings on sales of light heating oils in your marketing area are below those 
 of two years ago. All known independent dealers in the marketing area have received copies of this form; if any other such 
 seller has not received a copy, he may request forms from the OPS District Office. Unless OPS receives completed forms from 
 a sufficient number of dealers, it cannot act to consider the upward revision of present ceilings in your marketing area. There¬ 
 fore, you Me requested to return this form, completed according to instructions, to your nearest OPS District Office. The re¬ 
 quest for data was drawn up in consultation with representatives of your industry. It represents what they regard as the most 
 convenient means of reporting the facts required by OPS to make a judgment as to earnings. The original copy of the form is 
 to be returned to the OPS District Office; the second copy is for your use if you wish to retain it. 
 
 In your area, only independent dealers are included in this survey. Any upward adjustments in ceiling prices, however, 
 will apply to all sellers of heating oils to consumers. 
 
 Read instructions carefully on the last page.

 INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPS PUBLIC FORM NO. 151 
 
 All questions in reference to presentation of data should be 
 referred to your OPS District or Regional Office. 
 
 SUBSTITUTION OF ANOTHER FISCAL YEAR.U your records are 
 not maintained on a June 1, 1949 to May 31, 1950 and June 1,1951 
 to May 31, 1952 basis, you may substitute data based on the 
 fiscal year July 1, 1949 to June 30, 1950 and July 1, 1951 to June 
 30, 1952. The change in period dates should be noted on the form 
 by substituting these dates for those appearing on top of columns 
 (b) to (g). 
 
 Substitution of Certain DaU. 
 
 Those marketers unable to supply detailed data as called for in 
 items 9-13, 15-19, 21-22, 24-27 should supply group total* as 
 called for in items 14, 20, 23 and 28 together with detail of these 
 totals as carried on their records. 
 
 ITEMS 1 AND 2 — SALES ileport the gallonage and amount of 
 your sales at the tank wagon level of light oils, that is, kerosene. 
 No. 1 and No. 2 fuel oils, furnace oil, stove oil, and range oil, to 
 resellers, consumers, and total for each period in items 1 (A), 
 1 (IB), 2 (A) and 2 (B). If you conduct a retail business only, 
 your deliveries of light fuels should be reported as sales to con¬ 
 sumers. Report the amount of other product sales under all other 
 products (columns (c) and (f)). JJader this column you would in* 
 elude such other petroleum produ'ets as gasolines, lubricants, 
 light oils to industrial consumers at other than tank wagon level. 
 No. 4, 5 and 6 fuel oils, solid fuels, building supplies, TBA 
 items, road and drive-way supplies and equipment, and such other 
 items as go to make up your total business. Do not include in 
 this column your oil burner service activities, as the net gain or 
 loss incurred in this service should be reported in item 31. 
 In the columns (d) and (g) “total operations,” report the com¬ 
 bined total for light fuels and all other products or business- 
 activities. 
 
 ITEMS 3 TO 7—COST OF GOODS SOLD Show in the columns 
 provided therefor the value of your opening and closing inven¬ 
 tories, cost of purchases f.o.b. your plant and gross operating 
 profit. If you conduct a direct retail operation only, the chances 
 are you purchase supplies as you sell them. This being the case, 
 you would have only the one figure to report and that is the cost 
 of your purchases “under the rack.” 
 
 ITEM 8—GROSS PROFIT Your gross profit is the difference be¬ 
 tween the total amount of your sales (item 2) and cost of goods 
 sold (item 7). If item 7 is greater, it should be entered as a 
 minus figure. 
 
 EXPENSES 
 
 Careful segregation of expenses should be made between 
 light fuels and all other products or business activities. If cer¬ 
 tain items apply to your entire business and have not been allo¬ 
 cated on any other basis, they should be distributed on the basis 
 of relative sales values. In any-event, you must show your net 
 operating profit on light fuels and other activities. Identical 
 bases of allocation must be follbwed in both periods or a satis¬ 
 factory explanation furnished of any change. 
 
 For the most part, you will find the various expense items 
 listed to be self-explanatory. However, certain elements msv re¬ 
 quire some additional comments. 
 
 ITEM 9 TO UrOPERATION OF YARD If you conduct an inte¬ 
 grated business such as purchasing supplies from a primary 
 terminal supplier and maintain terminal and bulk plant facilities, 
 you will have expenses to report for operation of these facilities, 
 which are in addition to your regular truck delivery services. 
 
 ITEMS 15 TO 2 (DELIVERY AND OTHER DIRECT EXPENSES 
 The expenses incurred by you in making deliveries of light fuels 
 to consumers should be reported under this caption. Expenses 
 of your other activities should be reported in the column provided 
 for all other products. 
 
 ITEM 21 TO 23—i SALES EXPENSES Your selling expenses should 
 be reported under this caption. If it is impractical for you to 
 segregate selling expenses from other expense items such as 
 office and officers’ salaries, they should be reported according 
 to your own accounting classification. Report under the proper 
 caption all promotional advertising incurred by your organiza¬ 
 tion in its selling campaigns. 
 
 ITEMS 24 TO 28-ADMINISTRATIVE AND GENERAL EXPENSES 
 All expenses of an administrative and overhead nature should be 
 reported under this caption. No doubt, for certain items applicable 
 to your entire business, it will be necessary to employ an arbitrary 
 basis of allocation. The proportion of dollar income for total light 
 fuel sales (in dollars) to all sales (in dollars) is recommended as an 
 arbitrary basis of allocation where none is normally employed. 
 
 ITEM 29— TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSE The amount to be 
 entered on this line is the combined total of items 14, 20, 23 and 
 28. 
 
 ITEM 30 -NET PROFIT OR (LOSS) ON SALES The amount to be 
 entered on this line is the difference between the gross profit 
 (item 8) and total operating expense (item 29). 
 
 ITEM 31— OIL BURNER SERVICE Most distributors of light 
 heating oils conduct a service department to take care of their 
 customers’ furnaces and storage facilities. As the methods and 
 charges vary with localities and kind of service rendered, only 
 the net profit you incurred in this department should be reported. 
 
 ITEM 32 —NET OPERATING PROFIT OR LOSS Your net profit 
 or loss is determined after adjusting the net operating profit on 
 sales by the profit or loss incurred in burner service department. 
 
 ITEMS *33 to 36-PERCENTAGE CALCULATIONS Calculate the 
 percentage of cost of sales, total expenses and net operating 
 profit as determined for your business in each fiscal period. 
 
 To get the percentage in items 34, 35 and 36, divide (a) 
 your cost of goods sold (item 7), (b) total operating expenses 
 (item 28) and (c) net operating profit (or loss) (item 32) by item 2.

 CPR 21— Coal Sold for Direct Use as 
 Bunker Fuel 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Public Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 Executive Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), 
 and Economic Stabilization Agency Gen¬ 
 eral Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 21 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 The supplying of coal for use as bunker 
 fuel is a specialized problem from the 
 standpoint of coal marketing. While 
 bunkering takes place at tidewater ports 
 throughout the year, in the case of coal 
 supplied to vessels on the Great Lakes, it 
 is a seasonal occupation, being limited to 
 the period of navigation on those lakes, 
 generally being confined to the period 
 beginning the middle of March and ex¬ 
 tending to the middle of December. Coal 
 is supplied to the vessels from railroad 
 car dumps, from lightering vessels and 
 from docks. 
 
 Prices of bunker fuel represent the 
 mine price plus transportation costs and 
 handling charges. Because of the close 
 relationship with mine prices, it is fair 
 and reasonable to base ceiling prices for 
 bunker fuel on the same twelve months 
 period prior to the Korean outbreak as 
 was found representative insofar as 
 f. o. b. mine prices f-or the bituminous 
 coal industry are concerned. Ceiling 
 prices at the mine, one of the principal 
 components of the bunker fuel price, 
 have advanced pursuant to the authority 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation No. 3 made 
 effective on February 1, 1951. The effect 
 of these prices is to shrink the gross 
 margin of the supplier of bunker fuel 
 because his prices heretofore have been 
 subject to the general price freeze. 
 Similarly, freight rates represent an¬ 
 other principal component in the bunker 
 fuel price. Increases in these transpor¬ 
 tation costs have to be absorbed by the 
 supplier unless provision is made for 
 them in addition to the bunker price. 
 Since suppliers are not in a position to 
 absorb such costs they are authorized 
 to include increases in transportation 
 costs that have taken place since/ the 
 end of the base period to the effective 
 date of this regulation, including freight 
 rate additions of April 4, 1951. 
 
 In the case of bunker fuel supplies at 
 tidewater ports, it is imperative that 
 there must be no delay or interruption 
 in servicing vessels carrying arms and 
 supplies to our armed forces overseas or 
 to vessels carrying supplies to those 
 countries receiving economic and mili¬ 
 tary aid from the United States. In the 
 
 case of bunker fuel supplies for vessels 
 on the Great Lakes, it is vitally necessary 
 that such fuel in ample quantity be 
 available at the time of the opening of 
 navigation so that there will be no delay 
 in the movement of vessels to the head 
 of the lakes for the transportation of 
 iron ore to our steel plants and it is 
 equally imperative that supplies be un¬ 
 interrupted throughout the season of 
 navigation in order that the requisite 
 amounts of iron ore and other commodi¬ 
 ties may be transported over the Great 
 Lakes system. 
 
 The establishment of ceiling prices on 
 bunker fuel based on the highest price 
 received by the supplier of bunker fuel 
 during the base period (July 1, 1948, 
 through June 30, 1949), generally places 
 the bunker fuel supplier in the same 
 relation to his suppliers as existed during 
 that period because f. o. b. mine prices 
 are frozen at the highest levels existing 
 during the same base period. In keep¬ 
 ing with the provisions of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation No. 3, it is reasonable to per¬ 
 mit the supplier of bunker fuel to in¬ 
 crease his prices by the increase in costs 
 incurred by his supplier as a result of 
 the wage advance of February 1, 1951, 
 and it is also reasonable to permit him 
 to increase his price by the increase in 
 transportation charges over those which 
 existed in the base period of July 1, 1948, 
 to June 30, 1949. Such a basis for ceil¬ 
 ing' prices for suppliers of bunker fuel 
 will promote stability and efficiency in 
 that branch of the coal industry. Like 
 Ceiling Price Regulation No. 3 in respect 
 to bituminous coal producers, this regu¬ 
 lation establishes for bunker fuel sup¬ 
 pliers a ceiling weighted average realiza¬ 
 tion for each size, grade, grouping or 
 classification of coal at each facility or 
 group of facilities. This realization is 
 the same as that obtained in the period 
 July 1, 1948 to June 30, 1949, and may 
 be adjusted to reflect the increases per¬ 
 mitted by the regulation, and may not 
 be exceeded in any 12-month period be¬ 
 ginning April 1, 1951. This control in 
 price levels provides an effective means 
 of price stabilization. 
 
 FINDINGS OF THE DIRECTOR OF PRICE 
 STABILIZATION 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the provisions of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation No. 21 are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purpose of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950. 
 
 So far as practicable the Director of 
 Price Stabilization gave due considera¬ 
 tion to the national effort to achieve 
 maximum production in furtherance of 
 the objectives of the Defense Produc¬ 
 tion Act of 1950 to prices prevailing 
 during the period from May 24, 1950, to 
 June 24, 1950, inclusive; and to relevant 
 factors of general applicability. 
 
 In formulating this regulation the Di¬ 
 rector has consulted with representatives 
 of the industry to the extent practicable 
 under the circumstances, and has given 
 consideration to their recommendations.

 (a) No person who is a supplier of 
 bunker fuel shall sell, deliver or other¬ 
 wise dispose of bunker fuel to any person 
 at prices higher than the ceiling prices 
 determined in accordance with the pro¬ 
 visions of this regulation. 
 
 (b) No«person shall, in the course of 
 trade or business, buy or receive such 
 bunker fuel at prices higher than the 
 ceiling prices determined in accordance 
 with the provisions of this regulation. 
 
 (O No person shall agree, offer, solicit, 
 or attempt to do anything prohibited in 
 paragraphs (&) and (b) of this section. 
 
 Sec. 4. Ceiling prices and ceiling 
 weighted average realization, (a) The 
 ceiling prices for each supplier of bunker 
 fuel for each size, grade, grouping or 
 classification of coal at each place or 
 facility, as established by previous mar¬ 
 keting practices, shall be the highest 
 price charged by such supplier of bunker 
 fuel for each size, grade, grouping or 
 classification of coal sold for bunker fuel 
 use at each place or facility during the 
 base period. 
 
 (b) The prices charged for each size, 
 grade, grouping or classification of coal 
 at each place or facility where such coal 
 is delivered shall be such that the 
 weighted average realization per ton ob¬ 
 tained by the supplier of bunker fuel 
 for the 12-month period commencing 
 April 1, 1951, and ending March 31, 1952, 
 and for each 12-month period beginning 
 on the. first day of each succeeding 
 month, commencing May 1, 1951, for 
 each such size, grade, grouping or classi¬ 
 fication at each such place or facility 
 
 shall not exceed the weighted average 
 realization obtained by the supplier of 
 bunker fuel from the sale, delivery or 
 other disposal of each such size, grade, 
 grouping or classification at each place 
 or facility during the base period. 
 
 (c) The supplier of bunker fuel shall 
 determine his ceiling weighted average 
 realization for the base period for each 
 size, grade, grouping or classification of 
 coal at each place or facility where such 
 coal is delivered by dividing the realiza¬ 
 tion received from sales of bunker fuel 
 by the number of tons so sold. 
 
 (d) The ceiling prices and ceiling 
 weighted average realization determined 
 in accordance with the provisions of this 
 regulation for each size, grade, grouping 
 or classification at each place or facility 
 may be increased by an amount not 
 exceeding the actual dollar-and-cents 
 per ton increase in (1) transportation 
 costs, rail and/or water from the mine 
 to the point of delivery, that have be¬ 
 come effective since the base period and 
 not later than the effective date of this 
 regulation; (2) the cost of coal, f. o. b. 
 the mine, charged by the principal sup¬ 
 plier who furnished the principal sup¬ 
 ply of each size, grade, grouping or clas¬ 
 sification at each place or facility dur¬ 
 ing a prior representative period, pro¬ 
 vided such increased cost of coal re¬ 
 sulted from any wage and salary ad¬ 
 vances and other items related to the 
 payroll which became effective on or 
 after January 1, 1951, and prior to July 
 1, 1951, under the authority of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation No. 3 (Coal, except 
 Pennsylvania Anthracite, Delivered from 
 Mine or Preparation Plant) and Ceiling 
 Price Regulation No. 4 (Anthracite De¬ 
 livered from Mine or Preparation Plant), 
 both issued by the Director on February 
 1, 1951. 
 
 (e) The ceiling prices and ceiling 
 weighted average realization determined 
 pursuant to the provisions of this section 
 may, at the option of the supplier of 
 bunker fuel, be determined and estab¬ 
 lished for a group of places or facilities 
 where the selling prices for each size, 
 grade, grouping or classification of coal 
 have been uniform at each place or fa¬ 
 cility in the group by prior custom and 
 practice in the marketing of bunker fuel. 
 
 Sec. 5. Procedure for establishing ceil¬ 
 ing prices and ceiling weighted average 
 realization for new suppliers of bunker 
 fuel, (a) In the event a supplier of 
 bunker fuel was not in business, did not 
 sell a particular size, grade, grouping or 
 classification of coal, or did not act as a 
 supplier of bunker fuel at a specific place 
 or facility during the base period, he 
 may file an application, in duplicate, 
 seeking the establishment of ceiling 
 prices and ceiling weighted average real¬ 
 ization that are fair and equitable. Such 
 application shall set forth, among other 
 things, the name and principal address 
 of the applicant, the port or ports at 
 points on the Great Lakes and their con¬ 
 necting or tributary waters and points 
 at tidewater at which he intends to sell, 
 deliver, or otherwise dispose of bunker 
 fuel, the particular size, grade, grouping 
 or classification for which ceiling prices 
 or ceiling weighted average realization 
 are requested, and the price or realiza¬ 
 
 tion amount which the applicant pro¬ 
 poses therefor; and the applicant shall 
 furnish the same information, including 
 the ceiling prices and ceiling weighted 
 average realization, for another sup¬ 
 plier of bunker fuel performing the same 
 services and operating the same or 
 similar places or facilities. 
 
 (b) The Director may request any 
 other information deemed necessary by 
 him to a fair and reasonable determina¬ 
 tion of the issues raised in the applica¬ 
 tion. 
 
 (c) For 60 days after filing the appli¬ 
 cation the applicant may sell bunker fuel 
 at temporary ceiling prices no higher 
 than the ceiling prices established under 
 this regulation for the bunker fuel sold 
 by another supplier of bunker fuel per¬ 
 forming the same services and operating 
 in the same or similar places or facili¬ 
 ties. After 60 days from the filing of the 
 application, if no action has been taken 
 by the Director, the prices as requested 
 in the application shall be the ceiling 
 prices for such bunker fuel. The filing 
 date herein shall be the date on which 
 the application is received by the Direc¬ 
 tor in the principal office of the Office of 
 Price Stabilization, Washington, D. C. 
 
 (d) The Director may at any time re¬ 
 view and revise ceiling prices or ceiling 
 weighted average realizations proposed 
 or established under this section if they 
 appear to be inconsistent with the pro¬ 
 visions of this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 6. Less than ceiling prices. Lower 
 prices than those established under this 
 regulation may be charged, demanded, 
 paid or offered. 
 
 Sec. 7. Evasion. The price limitations 
 set forth in this regulation shall not be 
 evaded, whether by direct or indirect 
 methods, in connection with an offer, 
 solicitation, agreement, sale, delivery, 
 purchase or receipt of or relating to 
 bunker fuel alone or in conjunction with 
 any other commodity or by way of com¬ 
 mission, service, transportation, or other 
 charge, or discount, premium or other 
 privilege, or by tie-in agreement or other 
 trade understanding, or by the making 
 of excessive charges for trucking or 
 otherwise. Persons subject to the regu¬ 
 lation shall continue to observe their 
 customary and standard cash discount 
 practices. 
 
 Sec. 8. Reporting, invoicing and 
 record-keeping requirements, (a) Each 
 person subject to this regulation shall 
 keep on file invoices, sales data and any 
 other records necessary to substantiate 
 the ceiling prices and ceiling weighted 
 average realization, and shall preserve 
 and keep said invoices, sales data and 
 records available for inspection by the 
 Director for a period of two years. 
 
 (b) Each supplier of bunker fuel shall 
 report to the Director, by letter, within 
 30 days after the effective date of this 
 regulation, his (1) ceiling prices and 
 ceiling weighted average realization for 
 the base period computed under the pro¬ 
 visions of sections 4 (a), (c) and (e) of 
 this regulation; (2) each adjustment au¬ 
 thorized under section 4 (d) of this regu¬ 
 lation; and (3/ the sum of (1) and (2), 
 being the adjusted ceiling prices and 
 ceiling weighted average realization. 
 
81 Trans 35:3 
 
 (c) Each supplier of bunker fuel shall 
 file a certified statement, by letter, of his 
 ceiling prices, including adjustments, if 
 any, determined in accordance with the 
 provisions of this regulation with the 
 Director and with the regional office or 
 offices of the Office of Price Stabilization 
 in the region or regions where the coal 
 is delivered, within 30 days after the ef¬ 
 fective date of this regulation. 
 
 (d) Each person subject to this regula¬ 
 tion shall furnish to each person to 
 whom he sells bunker fuel an invoice 
 stating the ceiling price established by 
 this regulation separately from any other 
 charge or a certified statement that the 
 prices charged do not exceed the ceiling 
 prices established under this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 9. Petitions for amendment, (a) 
 Any person seeking an amendment to 
 
 any provision of this regulation may file 
 a petition in accordance with the provi¬ 
 sions of Price Procedural Regulation No. 
 1 issued by the Economic Stabilization 
 Agency and with the provisions of this 
 regulation. 
 
 Sec. 10. Taxes. There may be added 
 to the applicable ceiling price the amount 
 of any transportation tax or sales, gross 
 receipts, gross proceeds or use tax levied 
 by any statute or ordinance, under which 
 the tax is measured by gross proceeds or 
 units of sale, only if the statute or ordi¬ 
 nance permits or requires the seller to 
 state the tax separately and the„ seller 
 does state it separately on his invoice 
 or other memorandum of sale, and only 
 if the seller customarily added the 
 amount of such tax to the ceiling price 
 and separately stated the tax on his in¬ 
 
 voice prior to the effective date of this 
 regulation. 
 
 Sec. 11. Enforcement. Persons vio¬ 
 lating any provision of this regulation 
 are subject to the criminal penalties, 
 and enforcement actions, and suits for 
 damage provided for by the Defense Pro¬

 Amendment 1

 TITLE 32A—NATIONAL DEFENSE, 
 APPENDIX 
 
 Chapter ill—Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Economic Stabilization Agency

 CPR 21—Coal Sold for Direct Use as 
 Bunker Fuel 
 
 INCREASED TRANSPORTATION COSTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161 and Economic Stabilization Agency 
 General Order No. 2, this Amendment 1 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 21 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 CPR 21 covers the operations of 
 bunker fuel suppliers. Nearly all of 
 them are lake dock operators (CPR 27) 
 or tidewater dock operators (SR 4, 
 GCPR) and some are retail coal dealers 
 (SR 2, Rev. 1 GCPR). Prior to this 
 amendment CPR 21 has permitted 
 bunker fuel suppliers to add to their ceil¬ 
 ing prices previously established the 
 actual dollars-and-cents amount of in¬ 
 crease in transportation costs which be¬ 
 came effective after the base period but 
 not later than the effective date of the 
 regulation, i. e., April 10, 1951. This 
 amendment eliminates the cut-off date 
 so that all transportation cost increases 
 which have or may occur after the base 
 period may be passed on by the bunker 
 fuel supplier, provided that such in¬ 
 creases are authorized by the Director, 
 the Interstate Commerce Commission, or 
 other regulatory body. 
 
 Transportation costs account for 30 
 percent to 50 percent of the cost of ac¬ 
 
 quisition of bunker fuels. Where trans¬ 
 portation costs constitute such a sub¬ 
 stantial part of the total delivered costs 
 of a commodity it has been found neces¬ 
 sary in other regulations to permit a 
 pass-through of increased freight costs— 
 e. g. GCPR, SR 2 (Retail Coal Dealers), 
 GCPR, SR 4 (Tidewater Coal Dock 
 Dealers), and CPR 27 (Lake Coal Dock 
 Operators). The increased transporta¬ 
 tion costs incurred by bunker fuel sup¬ 
 pliers are the same as those incurred 
 by retail coal dealers, tidewater coal 
 dock dealers, and lake coal dock opera¬ 
 tors. This amendment provides similar 
 treatment for bunker fuel suppliers as 
 has been given to other solid fuels deal¬ 
 ers, and removes any possible discrimi¬ 
 nation which may heretofore have 
 existed. 
 
 In order to maintain the relationship 
 between ceiling prices and ceiling 
 weighted average realization, bunker 
 fuel suppliers may also add the same 
 dollar-and-cents amount of transpor¬ 
 tation cost increases to the ceiling 
 weighted average realization established 
 under CPR 21. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, the provi¬ 
 sions of this amendment are generally 
 fair and equitable, and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 
 amended. 
 
 So far as practicable the Director of 
 Price Stabilization gave due considera¬ 
 tion to the national defense effort to 
 achieve the maximum production in the 
 furtherance of the objectives of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 
 amended. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 21 is hereby 
 amended in the following respect: 
 
 1. Section 4 (d) (1) is amended to read 
 as follows: < 1) transportation costs, rail 
 and/or water from the mine to the point 
 of delivery that has or may become ef¬ 
 fective since the base period, Provided, 
 Such increase in transportation costs was 
 authorized by the Director, an order of 
 the Interstate Commerce Commission, 
 or any regulatory body of a state, terri¬ 
 tory or possession of the United States, 
 And provided further, That the authority 
 to increase the ceiling weighted average 
 realization and the ceiling prices of each 
 size, grade, grouping or other classifica¬ 
 tion by the exact amount of increase in 
 transportation costs shall be effective 
 only upon receipt by the supplier of 
 bunker fuel of a carrier’s invoice, freight 
 bill or other statement of transporta¬ 
 tion charges for each such size, grade, 
 grouping or other classification, reflect¬ 
 ing the increased freight charges and 
 required to be oaid by the supplier of 
 bunker fuel. 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50 U. S. C. 
 App. Sup. 2154) 
 
 Effective date. This Amendment 1 
 shall become effective January 15, 1953.

 [Celling Price Regulation 27] 
 
 CPR 27— Lake Coal Dock Operators 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Public Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 Executive Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), 
 and Economic Stabilization Agency 
 General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 27 is hereby is¬ 
 sued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 . The coal docks located on the United 
 States bank of Lake Superior and on 
 that part of the west bank of Lake Mich¬ 
 igan north of and including Waukegan, 
 Illinois, have been aptly referred to as 
 the coal mines of the Northwest. Elab¬ 
 orate facilities are utilized by such docks 
 to handle, prepare and size coal to meet 
 the varied needs of the Northwest area 
 supplied by the docks. Except for the 
 physical distance of such a dock from 
 the coal mines which supply it, the dock 
 and its facilities might well be consid¬ 
 ered “a preparation plant which is an 
 adjunct of a mine or mines” within the 
 meaning of Ceiling Price Regulation No. 
 3 (Coal, except Pennsylvania Anthra¬ 
 cite, Delivered from Mine or Preparation 
 Plant). 
 
 Since the overwhelming preponder¬ 
 ance of the solid fuel tonnage handled 
 or prepared on these docks and sold from 
 them is the coal subject to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation No. 3 (when sold by the pro¬ 
 ducer f. o. b. the mine to the dock opera¬ 
 tor) it is appropriate that the pattern 
 of this regulation should follow so far 
 as practicable the pattern of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation No. 3. In this way, the 
 ceiling prices for coal sold from the 
 docks will be reasonably related to the 
 ceiling prices which the dock operators 
 may have to pay to the producer under 
 Ceiling Price Regulation No. 3. The 
 basic pattern of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion No. 3 in respect to base period, the 
 period on the basis of which ceilling 
 prices are determinable, and ceiling 
 weighted average realization are sub¬ 
 stantially followed in this regulation. 
 Some reasonable modifications in the 
 basic pattern have been made in order 
 to accommodate it to the distinguishing 
 features of the lake dock coal trade, in¬ 
 cluding (a) the problems incident to the 
 fact that the lake docks handle normally 
 coals from many different mines which 
 produce coals of varying grades and sizes 
 and (b) the fact that the ceiling prices 
 at the mine, one of the principal com¬ 
 ponents of the lake coal dock operators’ 
 prices, have advanced pursuant to the 
 authority of Ceiling Price Regulations 
 
 Nos. 3 and 4, which became effective on 
 February 1, 1951. 
 
 The early and orderly establishing of 
 ceiling prices will permit the lake dock 
 operators to proceed efficiently to make 
 the arrangements which now have to be 
 made for the purchase of coal and for 
 water transportation facilities in order 
 to assure that the 1951 season of lake 
 navigation will be utilized effectively to 
 provide for the coal needs of the indus¬ 
 tries and other consumers of the North¬ 
 west who are dependent on the lake dock 
 operators for their supply. 
 
 A relatively small amount of Pennsyl¬ 
 vania anthracite, coke, briquets and 
 packaged fuel is sold from the lake docks 
 and adjacent facilities and those solid 
 fuels are also covered by this regulation. 
 
 The regulation provides that the ceil¬ 
 ing prices shall be the highest prices 
 charged for any size, grade, grouping or 
 other classification of coal sold at a dock 
 during the base period or the period Jan¬ 
 uary 1 to 15, 1951, and that the ceiling 
 weighted average realization shall be 
 that obtained during the base period. 
 These ceilings may be increased by the 
 per-ton amount of increase in the f. o. b. 
 mine cost of the principal supplier in 
 the base period or the 1950 season of lake 
 navigation resulting from recognized 
 wage and salary advances which become 
 effective on or after January 1, 1951, and 
 prior to June 30, 1951. 
 
 Transportation costs represent an im¬ 
 portant component in the cost of solid 
 fuels at the lake docks. Substantial in¬ 
 creases in transportation rates have oc¬ 
 curred since the base period, including a 
 recent increase in railroad freight rates 
 up to six cents per net ton (seven cents 
 per gross ton). Furthermore, lake vessel 
 rates are likely to increase to some ex¬ 
 tent as a result of a Supplementary Reg¬ 
 ulation 12 to the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation, which became effective on 
 March 14,1951. However, this regulation 
 does not authorize these transportation 
 cost increases to be reflected in the ceil¬ 
 ing prices. 
 
 Increases in labor and other costs in¬ 
 curred by the lake coal dock operator, 
 likewise, may not be added to the ceiling 
 prices. The industry is not prejudiced, 
 however, from applying in the future for 
 increases to reflect transportation or 
 other cost increases in the light of the 
 prevailing standards in effect for grant¬ 
 ing adjustments. 
 
 FINDINGS OF THE DIRECTOR OF PRICE 
 STABILIZATION 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of

 utors and shall be an f. o. b. dock price. 
 
 (n) “F .o. b. mine” and “f. o. b. plant” 
 mean free on board transportation fa¬ 
 cilities at a mine, a preparation plant, 
 ovens and other plant or loading facili¬ 
 ties (not including ground storage facili¬ 
 ties). 
 
 Sec. 3. Prohibition against selling, de¬ 
 livering or otherwise disposing• of. solid 
 fuel at prices above the ceiling. On and 
 after the 1st day of May, 1951, regardless 
 of any contract, agreement, lease or other 
 obligation: 
 
 (a) No person who is a lake dock 
 operator or distributor shall sell, dispose, 
 deliver or ship solid fuel from a lake dock 
 or facilities operated as an adjunct of a 
 lake dock at prices higher than the ceil¬ 
 ing prices determined in accordance 
 with the provisions of this regulation. 
 
 (b) No person shall, in the course of 
 trade or business, buy or receive such 
 solid fuel so delivered or shipped at 
 higher prices than the ceiling prices de¬ 
 termined in accordance with the pro¬ 
 visions of this regulation. 
 
 (c) No person shall agree, offer, 
 solicit, or attempt to do anything pro¬ 
 hibited in paragraphs (a) and (b) of 
 this section. 
 
 Sec. 4. Ceiling prices and ceiling 
 weighted average realization, (a) The 
 ceiling price for each lake dock (to which 
 this regulation is applicable) for any 
 size, grade, grouping or other classifica¬ 
 tion of solid fuel, as established by pre¬ 
 vious marketing practices, which may be 
 charged under this regulation shall be 
 the highest price received for solid fuel 
 in the same size, grade, grouping, or 
 other classification in the base period or 
 in the period January 1-15, inclusive, 
 1951. Each lake dock operator shall file 
 a certified statement, by letter, of these 
 ceiling prices, to include such ceiling 
 prices, as are derived from distributors’ 
 sales, with the Director and with the 
 regional office or offices of the Office of 
 Price Stabilization in the area or areas 
 to which the lake dock operator’s solid 
 fuel is shipped, within 30 days after such 
 prices become effective, in accordance 
 with instructions issued by the Director, 
 as provided in section 14 of this regula¬ 
 tion. 
 
 (b) On and after the effective date of 
 this regulation the prices charged for the 
 solid fuel sold from a lake dock (to which 
 this regulation is applicable) shall be 
 such that the weighted average realiza¬ 
 tion per ton by the lake dock operator 
 for the 12-month period commencing 
 May 1, 1951, and ending April 30, 1952, 
 and for each 12-month period beginning 
 on the first day of each succeeding 
 month, commencing June 1, 1951, shall 
 not exceed the weighted average realiza¬ 
 tion obtained by the lake dock operator 
 from the sale, delivery or other disposal 
 of solid fuel during the base period. 
 
 (c) The lake dock operator shall de¬ 
 termine his ceiling weighted average 
 realization for the base period for any 
 such dock (1) by dividing the realization 
 
 received from sales of solid fuel on the 
 open market by the number of tons so 
 sold or (2) by dividing the realization 
 received from the sale of the sizes, grades, 
 groupings or other classifications of solid 
 fuel on the open market by the number 
 of tons so sold. The lake dock operator 
 shall file a certified statement of the ceil¬ 
 ing weighted average realization so de¬ 
 termined with the Director, as required 
 by section 14 (a) of this regulation. 
 
 (d) The ceiling prices and ceiling 
 weighted average realization determined 
 for a lake dock in accordance with the 
 provisions of this regulation may be in¬ 
 creased as follows: 
 
 (1) For each size, grade, grouping or 
 other classification of solid fuel sold and 
 delivered by a lake dock operator by an 
 amount not exceeding the actual dollar- 
 and-cents per ton amount of increase in 
 the f. o. b. mine or f. o. b. plant cost on 
 each such size, grade, grouping, or other 
 classification permitted to be charged 
 by the supplier who furnished the prin¬ 
 cipal supply of each such size, grade, 
 grouping, or other classification to the 
 lake dock operator during the lake dock 
 operator’s base period or the 1950 sea¬ 
 son of lake navigation; provided such in¬ 
 creased cost of solid fuel resulted from 
 any wage and salary advances and other 
 items related to the payroll which be¬ 
 came effective on or after January 1, 
 1951, and which the supplier is author¬ 
 ized to add to his ceiling prices under 
 the provisions of any regulation, supple¬ 
 mentary regulation or amendment there¬ 
 to issued by the Director. 
 
 (2) Each lake dock operator who is 
 the same person as the supplier may add 
 for each size, grade, grouping or other 
 classification of solid fuel he sells and 
 delivers the per ton amount of increase 
 in the f. o. b. mine or f. o. b. plant price 
 on each such size, grade, grouping, or 
 other classification permitted to be 
 charged (with the same limitation as 
 provided in subparagraph (1) of this 
 paragraph) by the supplier to an inde¬ 
 pendent lake dock operator under the 
 authority of any regulation, supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation or amendment thereto 
 issued by the Director. 
 
 (3) The authority to increase the ceil¬ 
 ing prices and ceiling weighted average 
 realization as set forth in subparagraphs 
 (1) and (2) of this paragraph on any 
 size, grade, grouping or other classi¬ 
 fication of solid fuel shall be effective 
 upon receipt by the lake dock operator 
 of a written notice of shipment of solid 
 fuel mined or otherwise produced on or 
 after February 1, 1951 from the lake 
 dock operator’s principal supplier dur¬ 
 ing the lake dock operator’s base period 
 or the 1950 season of Jake navigation 
 and a written statement, which shall 
 be furnished by such supplier to the lake 
 dock operator at the dock operator’s re¬ 
 quest, showing the authorized per ton 
 amount of cost increase which such sup¬ 
 plier may add to the price of the appli¬ 
 cable sizes, grades, groupings, or other 
 classifications of solid fuel under the 
 authority of the aforesaid regulations 
 and within the limitations of subpara¬ 
 graphs (1) and (2) of this paragraph. 
 
 (e) The highest price referred to in 
 paragraph (a) of this section shall be 
 
81 Trans 36:3 
 
 separately determined by the lake coal 
 dock operator in accordance with such 
 classification as established by previous 
 ) marketing practices. 
 
 (f) The ceiling prices to be determined 
 in paragraph (a) of this section and 
 the ceiling weighted average realization 
 to be determined under paragraph (b) 
 of this section may, at the option of the 
 lake coal dbck operator, be determined 
 and established for a group of docks op¬ 
 erated or controlled by a single operator 
 (as distinguished from a particular 
 dock). 
 
 Sec. 5. Retail sales and dock handling 
 services, (a) A lake dock operator who 
 also sells solid fuels as a retail coal dealer 
 shall exclude all retail sales in determin¬ 
 ing ceiling weighted average realization 
 and ceiling prices under this regulation. 
 
 (b) Lake coal dock operators who, as 
 a service to other persons, handle, store, 
 and/or prepare solid fuel, charging 
 therefor a service fee on a per-net ton 
 basis, may continue to perform such 
 service: Provided, That the service fee 
 he is authorized to charge shall not be 
 higher than the gross margin he obtains 
 or is permitted to obtain on the sale of 
 his most nearly similar size, grade, 
 grouping or other classification of solid 
 fuel under the terms of this regulation. 
 The amount received from such trans¬ 
 actions may be excluded in determining 
 the ceiling weighted average realization 
 in the base period to this regulation; if 
 such amount received is excluded, it shall 
 also be excluded in the reports of 
 monthly realization on future transac- 
 i' tions. 
 
 Sec. 6. Procedure for establishing ceil¬ 
 ings on new products, (a) If a partic¬ 
 ular size, grade, grouping, or other clas¬ 
 sification of solid fuel was not sold 
 during the base period or during the 
 period January 1-15, inclusive, 1951, and 
 therefore no specific ceiling price is es¬ 
 tablished therefor, the ceiling price for 
 such size, grade, grouping, or other clas¬ 
 sification shall be determined as follows: 
 
 (1) If the particular unpriced size, 
 grade, grouping or other classification of 
 solid fuel is a lump size, the ceiling price 
 shall be not more than the lowest ceiling 
 price established for the nearest com¬ 
 parable size of lump solid fuel of the 
 same grade, grouping or other classifi¬ 
 cation. 
 
 (2) If the particular unpriced size is 
 a double-screened solid fuel, the ceiling 
 price shall be not more than the lowest 
 ceiling price established for the nearest 
 comparable double-screened size of the 
 same grade, grouping or other classifica¬ 
 tion. 
 
 (3) If the particular unpriced size is 
 a resultant (run of pile, unscreened 
 stoker, slack or screening) size, the ceil¬ 
 ing price shall be not more than the 
 lowest ceiling price for the nearest com¬ 
 parable resultant (run of pile, un¬ 
 screened stoker, slack or screening) size 
 of the same grade, grouping or other 
 classification. 
 
 i (b) In the event of the mixture of two 
 f or more sizes, grades, groupings or other 
 classifications of solid fuel to which dif¬ 
 ferent ceiling prices are applicable, which 
 mixture was not made during the base 
 
 period or the period January 1-15, 1951, 
 the ceiling price for such mixture shall 
 be not more than the weighted average 
 of the ceiling prices for each of the com¬ 
 ponent sizes, grades, groupings or other 
 classifications of solid fuel in said mix¬ 
 ture, on a per net ton basis. 
 
 (c) If a particular size, grade, group¬ 
 ing or other classification of solid fuel 
 was not sold during the base period and 
 therefore no specific ceiling weighted 
 average realization is established there¬ 
 fore, the lake dock operator may file 
 an application seeking the establish¬ 
 ment of a ceiling weighted average real¬ 
 ization that is fair and equitable. The 
 applicant shall clearly set forth the in¬ 
 formation and data deemed necessary 
 to support the application. The Director 
 may request any other information 
 deemed necessary by him to a fair and 
 reasonable determination of the issues 
 raised in the application. 
 
 Sec. 7. Transportation charges. 
 Where solid fuel is delivered from a lake 
 dock in any transportation facilities 
 owned or subject to the control of the 
 lake dock operator or distributor, or 
 subsidiary or affiliate of the lake dock 
 operator or distributor, in any trans¬ 
 portation facilities hired by the lake 
 dock operator or distributor, there may 
 be added to the applicable ceiling price 
 established herein a sum not in excess 
 of the actual transportation costs in¬ 
 curred by such lake dock operator or 
 distributor, or subsidiary or affiliate 
 thereof, determined in a reasonable 
 manner, but in no event to exceed the 
 lowest common carrier rate, if any, for 
 a haul between the same points: Pro¬ 
 vided, That there may also be added by 
 a producer or distributor, to the ap¬ 
 plicable maximum price established 
 herein, an amount not in excess of 
 the transportation tax imposed by sec¬ 
 tion 620 of the Revenue Act of 1942 
 if said lake dock operator or distributor 
 incurred such tax and if he separately 
 states the amount of the tax in sales to 
 all purchasers except the United States 
 or any agency thereof, the District of 
 Columbia, any state government or any 
 political subdivision thereof. 
 
 Sec. 8. Taxes. There may be added 
 to the applicable ceiling price the amount 
 of any sales, gross receipts, gross pro¬ 
 ceeds or use tax levied by any statute 
 or ordinance, under which the tax is 
 measured by gross proceeds or units of 
 sale, only if the statute or ordinance 
 permits or requires the seller to state 
 the tax separately and the seller does 
 state it separately on his invoice or other 
 memorandum of sale, and only if the 
 seller customarily added the amount of 
 such tax to the ceiling price and separ¬ 
 ately stated the tax on his invoices prior 
 to January 15, 1951. 
 
 Sec. 9. Interest rate 071 overdue ac¬ 
 counts. The rate of interest on overdue 
 accounts or on a note, trade acceptance 
 or other form of indebtedness accepted 
 in payment of an account shall not 
 exceed the rate charged by the seller 
 on similar transactions during the base 
 period. 
 
 Sec. 10. New operator or owner. Any 
 purchaser, lessee or transferee of a lake 
 coal dock for which ceiling prices and 
 a ceiling weighted average realization 
 have been established shall take the ceil¬ 
 ing prices or ceiling weighted average 
 realization previously assigned to the 
 lake coal dock or other seller, lessor or 
 transferor thereof. 
 
 Sec. 11. Less than ceiling prices. 
 Lower prices than those established 
 under this regulation may be charged, 
 demanded, paid or offered. 
 
 Sec. 12. Evasion. The price limita¬ 
 tions set forth ip this regulation shall 
 not be evaded, whether by direct or in¬ 
 direct methods, in connection with an 
 offer, solicitation, agreement, sale, de¬ 
 livery, purchase or receipt of or relating 
 to solid fuel alone or in conjunction with 
 any other commodity or by way of com¬ 
 mission, service, transportation, or other 
 charge, or discount, premium or other 
 privilege, or by tie-in agreement or other 
 trade understanding or by the making of 
 excessive charges for trucking or other¬ 
 wise. Persons subject to the regulation 
 shall continue to observe their custo¬ 
 mary and standard cash discount prac¬ 
 tices. 
 
 Sec. 13. Sales agents and distributors. 
 No sales agent or distributor shall charge 
 a price f. o. b. dock in excess of the ceil¬ 
 ing price or prices established for such 
 dock or docks under the provisions of 
 this regulation: Provided, That in the 
 event a distributor purchased solid fuel 
 from a dock or docks during the lake 
 coal dock operator’s base period or the 
 period January 1-15, 1951, and resold 
 such solid fuel, said distributor may buy 
 and resell solid fuel from said dock or 
 docks and charge the highest price or 
 prices he received for each size, group¬ 
 ing, grade, or other classification of solid 
 fuel during the aforesaid periods plus 
 any adjustments in price applied to the 
 f. o. b. dock price of such solid fuel: 
 Provided, further, That the distributor 
 files with the Director such reports or 
 records as may be required on forms 
 prescribed and according to instructions 
 issued by the Director. The distributor 
 shall preserve his records to support such 
 reports for a period of two years. 
 
 Sec. 14. Reporting, invoicing and 
 record-keeping requirements, (a) Each 
 lake coal dock operator shall compute 
 and establish its weighted average real¬ 
 ization during the base period and shall 
 report such realization base to the Di¬ 
 rector within thirty days after the date 
 ceiling prices became effective under this 
 regulation. The report shall be made 
 on forms prescribed and according to 
 instructions issued by the Director. 
 
 (b) The basis for setting up ceiling

 CPR 27— Lake Coal Dock Operators 
 
 INCREASED TRANSPORTATION COST 
 
 Pursuant td the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this amend¬ 
 ment to Ceiling Price Regulation 27 is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Lake coal dock operators covered by 
 CPR 27 are both wholesalers and re¬ 
 tailers of coal. Because of certain 
 unique characteristics, however, they 
 are covered by a different OPS regula¬ 
 tion from that applying to other re¬ 
 tailers of bit umi nous coal. 
 
 Recently retail coal sellers under Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 2 to the GCPR 
 were allowed to add to their ceiling 
 prices the increase in their inbound 
 freight costs since January 25, 1951 re¬ 
 sulting from freight rate increases au¬ 
 thorized - by the Interstate Commerce 
 Commission or any other governmental 
 regulatory body. c Por similar reasons, 
 and to remove any possible discrimina¬ 
 tion between these two classes of resell¬ 
 
 ers of coal, this amendment provides a 
 similar adjustment for lake coal dock 
 operators. 
 
 In order to maintain the relationship 
 between ceiling prices and ceiling 
 weighted average realization lake coal 
 dock operators may also add the same 
 dollar-and-cents amount of transporta¬ 
 tion cost increases to their ceiling 
 weighted average realization established 
 under CPR 27. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the provisions of this 
 amendment are generally fair and 
 equitable and are necessary to effectuate 
 the purposes of Title IV of the Defense 
 Production Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 So far as practicable the Director of 
 Price Stabilization gave due considera¬ 
 tion to the national effort to achieve 
 maximum production in furtherance 
 of the objectives of the Defense Produc¬ 
 tion Act of 1950, as amended, and to 
 relevant factors of general applicability. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 27 is amended 
 in the following respect: 
 
 1. Section 4 (d) is amended by adding 
 sub-paragraph (4), as follows: 
 
 (4) Each lake coal dock operator may 
 increase the ceiling weighted average 
 realization and the ceiling price of each 
 size, grade, grouping or other classifica¬ 
 tion of solid fuel which he sells and de¬ 
 livers under this ceiling price regulation 
 by the exact amount of increase in 
 transportation costs that has or may 
 become effective after January 1, 1951: 
 Provided, Such increase in transporta¬ 
 tion costs was authorized by the Di¬ 
 rector, an order of the Interstate Com¬ 
 merce Commission or any regulatory 
 body of a state, territory or possession 
 of the United States: And provided fur¬ 
 ther, That the authority to increase the 
 ceiling weighted average realization and 
 the ceiling prices of each size, grade, 
 grouping or other classification by the 
 exact amount of increase in transporta¬ 
 tion costs shall be effective only upon 
 receipt by the lake coal dock operator 
 of a carrier’s invoice, freight bill or other 
 statement of transportation charges for 
 each such size, grade, grouping or other 
 classification, reflecting the increased 
 freight charges and required to be paid 
 by the lake coal dock operator. 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50 
 U. S. C. App. Sup. 2154) 
 
 Effective date. This Amendment 1 to 
 CPR 27 shall become effective July 2, 
 1952.

 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PREPARATION OF OPS PUBLIC FORM NO. 9 
 
 WHO SHALL FILE REPORTS; All lake coal dock operators 
 oa tke United States Bank of Lake Superior and on that part of 
 the west bank of Lake Michigan north of and including 
 Waukegan, Illinois, regardless of size, who sell solid fuels 
 subject to CPU No. 27, are required to file a copy of OPS 
 Public Form No. 9 with the Office of Price Stabilization^Solid 
 Fuels Btanch, Washington 25, D. C., within thirty days of the 
 effective date of CPR No. 27 for each dock, or group of docks, 
 which he operates. 
 
 COMPUTATION OF CEILING WEIGHTED AVERAGE REAL¬ 
 IZATION: The Ceiling Weighted Average Realization dining 
 the base period may be computed (1) by dividing the reali¬ 
 zation received from the sales of solid fuels on the open 
 market by the number of tons so sold, or (2) by dividing the 
 realization received from the sale of the sizes, grades, group¬ 
 ings or other classifications of solid fuel on the open market 
 by the number of tons so sold. (The basis so elected for the 
 base period must be followed in the monthly reports to be sub¬ 
 sequently filed.) 
 
 TONNAGE TO REPORT: The tonnage on which realization is 
 to be reported shall include solid fuel sold in the open market 
 by customary methods of transportation. 
 
 Railroad weights shall be reported for all solid fuel passing 
 over railroad scales. All other solid fuel shall be reported at 
 accurate weights. 
 
 OPTIONAL TONNAGE: The Lake Dock Operator, at his 
 option, may include his realization Rom dock handling 
 
 If you elect to file under (1) above, insert in description 
 column, “Total Sales." Enter in Column (a) the total tons of 
 solid fuel sold, less exclusions. Enter in Column (b) the total 
 sales price (Cross Realization as defined above) less ex¬ 
 clusions. Enter in Column (c) the average realization per ton. 
 
 If you elect to file under (2) above, insert complete de¬ 
 scription of sizes, grades, groupings or other classification of 
 solid fuels adopted in the description column, and follow same 
 procedure for Columns (a), (b), and (c) as in (1) above. 
 
 To Illustrate, a dock operator may elect to file' his ceiling 
 weighted average realization for each size and kind of coal he 
 sells, or for a classification of coal he sells, or for a grouping 
 of coal he sells. A sample of these possibilities follows; how¬ 
 ever, the dock o per at or may select other variations within the 
 general limits of size, grade, group or other classification. 
 However, whatever size, grade, group or other classification is 
 chosen by him for his base period report must also be used by 
 him iu his future monthly reports.

 TITLE 32A—NATIONAL DEFENSE, 
 APPENDIX 
 
 Chapter III—Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Economic Stabilization Agency 
 
 [Ceiling Price Regulation 321 
 CPR 32—Crude Petroleum 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 Executive Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), 
 and Economic Stabilization Agency 
 General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 32 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 When the General Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation was issued on January 26, 1951, 
 it was realized that a single, compre¬ 
 hensive regulation could hardly cope 
 with the multitude of prices and the di¬ 
 verse practices of many sellers and in¬ 
 dustry. It was, therefore, the express 
 intent of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion to replace the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation as rapidly as possible with 
 specific price regulations tailored to 
 meet the needs of different industries. 
 Essentially, this regulation provides for 
 the establishment of ceiling prices for 
 all sales and deliveries of crude petro¬ 
 leum by producers, sellers, refiners, or by 
 any other person. 
 
 The regulation establishes the ceiling 
 price at the receiving tank for crude 
 petroleum from any given pool as the 
 posted purchase price on January 25, 
 1951, for such pool, or where there was 
 for any pool more than one posted pur¬ 
 chase price then the ceiling price is the 
 highest of the posted purchase prices. 
 Use of the posted purchase price on this 
 date to determine ceiling prices is be¬ 
 lieved equitable, and in conformity with 
 the customary pricing practices of this 
 segment of the petroleum industry. A 
 provision is included which requires 
 every purchaser of crude petroleum to 
 file a report thirty days after the issu¬ 
 ance of this regulation with the Director 
 of Price Stabilization listing the pur¬ 
 chase prices he posted or paid for crude 
 petroleum purchased from each pool. 
 
 Where no posted purchase price ex¬ 
 isted on January 25, 1951, alternative 
 methods of determining ceiling prices 
 are provided. Special provision is made 
 for certain contract sales in excess of the 
 posted purchase price, provided the con¬ 
 tract was made prior to December 9, 1950, 
 and was in effect on January 25, 1951. 
 The ceiling price so established is ap¬ 
 plicable only to the production covered 
 by the contract. The reason that De¬ 
 cember 9, 1950, was selected as the initial 
 date is that it marked the start of the 
 voluntary freeze on crude petroleum 
 prices requested of the refiners by the 
 Economic Stabilization Agency. 
 
 Prior to the formulation of this regu¬ 
 lation the Director of Price Stabilization 
 
 consulted with a large number of persons 
 representing a substantial part of the 
 industry and the regulation has been re¬ 
 viewed by the National Petroleum Ad¬ 
 visory Committee and the Petroleum Ad¬ 
 ministration for Defense. 
 
 FINDINGS OF THE DIRECTOR OF PRICE 
 STABILIZATION 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the ceiling prices es¬ 
 tablished by this regulation are gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and are neces¬ 
 sary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950. 
 
 So far as practicable the Director of 
 Price Stabilization gave due considera¬ 
 tion to the national effort to achieve 
 maximum production in furtherance of 
 the objectives of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950; to prices prevailing during 
 the period from May 24, 1950, to June 24, 
 1950, inclusive; to relevant factors of 
 general applicability.

 SCOPE OF REGULATION 
 
 Section 1. Applicability of regula¬ 
 tion. (a) This regulation establishes 
 ceiling prices for all sales and deliveries 
 of crude petroleum by producers, sellers, 
 refiners, or by any other person except: 
 
 (1) When sold to a processor as gas 
 enrichment oil; 
 
 (2) When sold to a consumer for a 
 purpose other than the production of 
 more than one petroleum fraction; or 
 
 (3) When sold to a tank wagon re¬ 
 seller by sellers, other than crude oil 
 operators or royalty owners, for resale to 
 a consumer for a purpose other than the 
 production of more than one petroleum 
 fraction therefrom. 
 
 (4) This regulation shall in all cases 
 be applicable to sales of crude petroleum 
 to a refiner or to a person using such 
 crude petroleum in oil and gas field op¬ 
 erations, notwithstanding that other¬ 
 wise subparagraphs 1, 2 and 3 of this 
 paragraph would provide an exception. 
 
 (5) Sales between corporations when 
 one is a wholly owned subsidiary of the 
 other, or when both are wholly owned 
 subsidiaries of a third corporation, and 
 sales between such other affiliated or 
 controlled corporations as are especially 
 excepted by order in writing of the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization or his duly 
 authorized representative. 
 
 (6) Exchanges of crude petroleum be¬ 
 tween refiners or other petroleum sellers, 
 providing such exchanges conform to 
 customary practices of the industry dur¬ 
 ing the base period. The Office of Price 
 Stabilization will not grant any increases 
 in the ceiling prices of crude oil or re¬ 
 fined petroleum products where the re¬ 
 quested revision in price is due to the 
 price at which crude oil has been ex¬ 
 changed. 
 
 (b) Transactions excepted from the 
 coverage of this regulation are also ex¬ 
 empt from the provisions of the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation. However, cer¬ 
 tain products and transactions excepted 
 from this regulation are covered by Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation No. 17, Gasolines, 
 Naphthas, Fuel Oils and Liquefied Petro¬ 
 leum Gases. 
 
 (c) The provisions of this regulation 
 are applicable to the United States, its 
 territories and possessions and the Dis¬ 
 trict of Columbia. 
 
 Sec 2. Exports. The ceiling price at 
 which a person may export crude petro¬ 
 leum shall be determined by this regula¬ 
 tion unless an export regulation shall be 
 issued by this office, in which case ceiling 
 prices for these sales shall be covered by 
 such export regulation. 
 
 Sec. 3. Imports. [Reserved] 
 
 Sec. 4. Transfers of business or stock 
 in trade. If the business, assets or stock 
 in trade of any seller or any person are 
 sold or otherwise transferred after Jan¬ 
 uary 25, 1951, the ceiling prices of the 
 transferee shall be the same as those to 
 which his tranferor would have been 
 subject if no such transfer had taken 
 place, and his obligation to keep records 
 and make reports shall be the same. The 
 transferor shall either preserve and make 
 available, or turn over to the transferee 
 records of all transactions prior to the 
 transfer which are necessary to enable 
 the transferee to comply with the records 
 and reports provisions of this regulation 
 and amendments thereto. 
 
81 Trans 37:2 
 
 Sec. 5. Adjustable pricing. Any per¬ 
 son may agree to buy or sell at a price 
 which can be increased up to the maxi¬ 
 mum price in effect at the time of de¬ 
 livery. Where a petition for adjustment 
 or amendment is pending the buyer and 
 seller may agree that prices for deliveries 
 made during the pendency of the peti¬ 
 tion shall be determined in accordance 
 with the disposition of the petition. 
 
 Sec. 6. Petitions for amendment. Any 
 person seeking an amendment of any 
 provision of this regulation may file a 
 petition for amendment in accordance 
 with the provisions of Price Procedural 
 Regulation No. 1. 
 
 Sec. 7. Applications for adjustment — 
 
 (a) Local shortages. The Office of Price 
 Stabilization may adjust by order any 
 ceiling price established under this regu¬ 
 lation for a seller or group of sellers or 
 for a general area when it appears: 
 
 (1) That there exists or threatens to 
 exist in a particular locality a shortage 
 in the supply of crude petroleum which 
 aids directly in the present defense pro¬ 
 gram or is essential to a standard of 
 living consistent with the maintenance 
 of the defense program; and 
 
 (2) That such local shortage will be 
 substantially reduced or eliminated by 
 adjusting the ceiling prices of such 
 seller and of like sellers for such prod¬ 
 ucts; and 
 
 (3) That such adjustment will not 
 create or tend to create a shortage, or 
 a need for increase in prices, in another 
 locality, and will effectuate the purposes 
 of the Defense Production Act of 1950. 
 
 (b) Filing of Applications. Applica¬ 
 tion for adjustment for local shortage 
 shall be filed with the Petroleum Branch 
 of the Office of Price Stabilization, 
 Washington 25, D. C. 
 
 Sec. 8. Price revisions incident to 
 orders establishing specific prices. Not¬ 
 withstanding the provisions of this regu¬ 
 lation, the Director of Price Stabilization 
 may by written order provide specific 
 ceiling prices to replace ceilings estab¬ 
 lished by this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 9. Reporting and record-keeping 
 requirements .— fa) Reporting. Thirty 
 days after the issuance of this regula¬ 
 tion, every purchaser of crude petroleum 
 shall file with the Director of Price 
 Stabilization, Washington 25, D. C., a 
 report listing the following information 
 for each pool: 
 
 (1) Posted purchase prices in effect on 
 January 25, 1951, and date said prices 
 first became effective. 
 
 (2) Prices paid for purchases during 
 the period December 9, 1950, to January 
 25, 1951, inclusive, at other than the 
 purchaser’s “posted purchase prices.” 
 This shall include: 
 
 fi) Prices paid for purchases where 
 the purchaser did not post purchase 
 prices for the production involved. 
 
 (ii) Prices paid for purchases in ex¬ 
 cess of purchaser’s “posted purchase 
 price.” In this connection the informa¬

 tract the date of execution of such con¬ 
 tract and the period of such contract. 
 
 <b) Records. (1) Each producer and 
 purchaser of crude petroleum shall pre¬ 
 serve and keep available for examina¬ 
 tion by the Office of Price Stabilization 
 all records necessary to substantiate 
 ceiling prices established under this 
 regulation. 
 
 (2) Compliance with these record 
 keeping provisions shall be deemed com¬ 
 pliance with the record keeping require¬ 
 ments of the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation during the period when crude 
 oil was covered by that regulation. 
 
 Sec. 10. Prohibitions against selling 
 or delivering crude petroleum at prices 
 above the ceiling. After the date of this 
 order, regardless of any contract or 
 other obligation, no person shall sell or 
 deliver and no person shall buy or re¬ 
 ceive in the regular course of trade or 
 business any crude petroleum at a price 
 higher than the ceiling price established 
 by this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 11. Evasion. The ceiling prices 
 established by this regulation shall not 
 be evaded whether by direct or indirect 
 methods in connection with the pur¬ 
 chase, sale, delivery or transfer of crude 
 petroleum alone or in conjunction with 
 any other materials, or by way of any 
 commission, service, transportation, or 
 other charge, or discount, premium or 
 other privilege, or by tie-in-agreement 
 or other trade understanding, or by a 
 change in the quality of the product, or 
 otherwise. 
 
 Sec. 12. Enforcement. Any person 
 who violates any provision of this regu¬ 
 lation is subject to the criminal penalties,

 or any other government or their politi¬ 
 cal subdivisions or agencies. 
 
 (b) “Crude petroleum” is considered 
 to be crude petroleum for the purpose of 
 this regulation until put through a bona 
 fide refinery process which results in the 
 production of more than one petroleum 
 fraction. Crude petroleum includes dis¬ 
 tillates and condensates from a well 
 which moves as crude petroleum. 
 
 (c) “Posted purchase price” means a 
 price schedule posted by a purchaser 
 who, during the period December 9, 
 1950, to January 25, 1951, inclusive, 
 actually purchased crude petroleum 
 produced from any pool to which the 
 posted price was applicable. 
 
 (d) “Pool” means any underground 
 accumulation of crude petroleum or 
 associated hydrocarbon substances con¬ 
 stituting a single and separate reservoir 
 or source of supply within a field, area, 
 or horizon whether or not presently dis¬ 
 covered or developed. 
 
 (e) “Producer” means an operator of 
 an oil lease or royalty owner or any 
 other seller of crude petroleum. 
 
 (f) “Receiving tank” means the tank 
 of the producer of crude petroleum, 
 
 sometimes called stock tank or shipping 
 tank, in which the oil from one or more 
 w T ells is first gauged or measured for 
 sale, delivery or storage. 
 
 (g) “Contract" means an agreement, 
 the existence of which is established by

 CEILING PRICES 
 
 Sec. 14. Posted purchase price. The 
 ceiling price at the receiving tank for 
 crude petroleum from any given pool 
 shall be the posted purchase price as of 
 January 25, 1951, for such pool. 
 
 Sec. 15. Two or more posted purchase 
 prices. Where there was for any pool 
 more than one posted purchase price, 
 the ceiling price at the receiving tank 
 for crude petroleum from such pool shall 
 be the highest of the posted purchase 
 prices. 
 
 Sec. 16. Contract in excess of posted 
 purchase price. Where a contract was 
 in effect on January 25, 1951, and was 
 made prior to December 9, 1950, for the 
 purchase of crude petroleum at the re¬ 
 ceiving tank at a price in excess of the 
 highest posted purchase price for the 
 given pool and deliveries were made 
 prior to January 25, 1951, such contracts 
 may be carried out in accordance with 
 the terms of the contract, notwithstand¬ 
 ing any other provision of this regula¬ 
 tion. On termination of the contract it 
 may be extended by the buyer and seller 
 on the same terms, and payments made 
 by the buyer and received by the seller 
 under such circumstances shall not be 
 deemed in excess of ceiling prices not¬ 
 withstanding any other provisions of 
 this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 17. Where no posted purchase 
 price. Where there was no posted pur¬ 
 chase price for a pool but sales of crude 
 petroleum were made by a producer from 
 the pool, the ceiling price at the receiv¬ 
 ing tank shall be the highest price paid 
 during the period December 9, 1950, to 
 January 25, 1951, inclusive, at any re¬ 
 ceiving tank of that producer in the 
 same pool for crude petroleum of the 
 same quality. If, however, this price 
 was paid pursuant to a contract which 
 did not reflect current market conditions 
 on January 25, 1951, the ceiling price 
 shall be determined by the next pricing 
 section (18). 
 
 Sec. 18. Where no ceiling price, (a) 
 If the ceiling price for any sale of crude 
 petroleum at the receiving tank can¬ 
 not be determined under sections 14 
 through 17 of this regulation, the seller 
 or purchaser shall set a tentative price 
 for crude petroleum at the particular 
 receiving tank or tanks which shall be 
 in line with the ceiling prices of com¬ 
 parable crude patroleum in the same 
 general area. Within 15 days after set¬ 
 ting such tentative price the seller or 
 purchaser shall file with the Petroleum 
 Branch of the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Washington 25, D. C., a written re¬ 
 quest for approval of such tentative 
 price. The person filing such request 
 shall file in connection therewith a 
 statement setting forth: 
 
 (1) Such tentative price. 
 
81 Trans 37:3 
 
 (2) An explanation as to why it is 
 impossible to determine his ceiling price 
 under sections 14, 15. 16, or 17 of this 
 regulation. 
 
 (3) A description of the available 
 transportation facilities, and a descrip¬ 
 tion of the gravity, characteristics and 
 source of the crude petroleum in 
 question. 
 
 <b) Such tentative price shall be the 
 ceiling price for crude petroleum pro¬ 
 duced from the same pool until a differ¬ 
 ent ceiling price is set in writing by the 
 Director of Price Stabilization. If a 
 seller and purchaser have agreed upon a 
 price for the sale of crude petroleum sub¬ 
 ject to the approval of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization, a ceiling price deter¬ 
 mined in accordance with this Section 18 
 shall be effective retroactively to the 
 effective date of this regulation, or the 
 date of the agreement, whichever is later. 
 
 Sec. 19. Sales at points other than re¬ 
 ceiving tank. The ceiling price for any 
 seller or purchaser of crude petroleum 
 sold at a point other than the receiving 
 tank shall be at no greater differential at 
 such point over the ceiling price for such 
 crude petroleum at the receiving tank 
 than the highest differential that existed 
 on January 25, 1951, between the price 
 at the receiving tank and the price at 
 such point. If, however, a contract in 
 effect on January 25, 1951 established a 
 differential for crude petroleum sold at 
 a point other than the receiving tank 
 which did not reflect current market con¬ 
 ditions on or about January 25, 1951, the 
 
 differential shall be subject to revision 
 by order of the Director of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation sc r that it will reflect current 
 market conditions on or about Janu¬ 
 ary 25, 1951. 
 
 Sec. 20. Where no differential at 
 points other than receiving tanks, (a) 
 Where a ceiling price at a point other 
 than at the receiving tank cannot be 
 determined under section 19 of this regu¬ 
 lation, the seller or purchaser shall estab¬ 
 lish a tentative differential based on dif¬ 
 ferences in quality and transportation 
 costs for a sale of crude petroleum at 
 such point. Within 15 days after setting 
 such tentative differential the seller shall 
 file with the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Washington 25, D. C., a written 
 request for approval for such tentative 
 differential accompanied by a statement 
 setting forth: 
 
 (1) Such tentative differential. 
 
 (2) An explanation as to why it is 
 impossible to determine his ceiling prices 
 at the particular point under section 19 
 of this regulation. 
 
 (3) The location of the source of the 
 crude petroleum in question and of the 
 particular delivery point, and 
 
 (4) An itemized statement of the costs 
 involved in transporting the crude pe¬ 
 troleum from the receiving tank to the 
 particular delivery point and of any other 
 items comprising the tentative differen¬ 
 tial. 
 
 (b) Such tentative differential shall be 
 the seller’s maximum differential for the 
 particular sale and for all subsequent 
 
 sales of crude petroleum from the same 
 receiving tank delivered at that point 
 until a different maximum differential 
 is set in writing by the Director of Price 
 Stabilization. If a seller and purchaser 
 have agreed upon a price for a sale of 
 crude petroleum at a point other than 
 at the receiving tank subject to the ap¬ 
 proval of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, a maximum differential determined 
 in accordance with this section 20 shall 
 be effective retroactively to January 25, 
 1951, or the date of the agreement, 
 whichever is later. 
 
 INCREASES PERMITTED OR REDUCTIONS 
 REQUIRED 
 
 Sec. 21. Taxes. There may be added 
 to the applicable ceiling prices deter¬ 
 mined under other sections of this regu¬ 
 lation an amount not in excess of any 
 tax increase, or new tax effective after 
 January 25, 1951, imposed upon or inci¬ 
 dent to the production, severance, 
 gathering, sale, transportation, delivery, 
 processing, or use of crude petroleum, 
 except import duties. 
 
 Effective date: This Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation shall become effective on May 12, 
 1951. 
 
 Note: The record-keeping and reporting 
 requirements of this regulation have been 
 approved by the Bureau of the Budget in 
 accordance with the Federal Reports Act of

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161 (15 P. R. 6195), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 P. R. 738), this supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This supplementary regulation issued 
 under section 8 of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 32 fixes a specific ceiling price for 
 the East Texas Oil Field. Information 
 has been submitted and evidence pro¬ 
 duced which in the judgment of the Di¬ 
 rector indicates that it is necessary to 
 establish a ceiling price for the East 
 Texas Oil Field under the aforemen¬ 
 tioned section. 
 
 The Director has determined on the 
 basis of information available to him, in¬ 
 cluding the data and conclusions of fact 
 submitted by a number of purchasers in 
 the East Texas Field, that the ceiling 
 
 price of $2.65 per barrel at the receiving 
 tank established by this supplementary 
 regulation represents the level of ceiling 
 prices under Ceiling Price Regulation 32. 
 This price is the ceiling price now ap¬ 
 plicable to roughly 96 percent of the pro¬ 
 duction in this major oil field according 
 to information received by the Director. 
 The other 4 percent may continue to be 
 sold at existing slightly higher prices un¬ 
 der section 16 of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 32 which authorizes the continua¬ 
 tion of contracts in effect prior to Jan¬ 
 uary 25, 1951. This supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation, however, makes it clear that sec¬ 
 tion 15 of the regulation does not under 
 the circumstances present here enable 
 the 96 percent of the production in this 
 oil field to be sold at the higher prices 
 permissible for the 4 percent. 
 
 This supplementary regulation does 
 not relieve purchasers in the East 
 Texas Oil Field from compliance with 
 section 9, Reporting and record keeping 
 requirements, of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 32. 
 
 Prior to the issuance of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, the Director con¬ 
 sulted with individuals in the area 
 involved and has given consideration to 
 their recommendations.

 SR 2-HOW TO ADJUST CEILING PRICES WHEN 
 
 SUCH CEILING PRICES ARE NOT IN CON¬ 
 FORMITY WITH CEILING PRICES IN THE 
 SAME GENERAL PRODUCING AREA FOR COM¬ 
 PARABLE CRUDE PETROLEUM 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), and Economic Sta¬ 
 bilization Agency General Order No. 2 
 (16 P. R. 738), this supplementary regu¬ 
 lation is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation estab¬ 
 lishes an adjustment procedure whereby 
 the purchaser or seller of crude petro¬ 
 leum in oil fields or pools which are 
 frozen at ceiling prices below the in¬ 
 line ceiling price for comparable crude 
 petroleum produced in the same general 
 producing area may make application 
 for an adjustment of his ceiling price. 
 This is necessary because in the early 
 stages of production in a new field or 
 pool the producer must usually accept 
 a lower price for his crude petroleum 
 than that which he ordinarily receives 
 when full production is attained and di¬ 
 rect transportation facilities become 
 available and competitive factors de¬ 
 velop. 
 
 At the time of the general freeze, there 
 were numerous relatively new fields or 
 pools in the same general producing area 
 producing comparable crude petroleum. 
 Ceiling prices in these oil fields or pools 
 were frozen at levels below the in-line 
 ceiling price for the same general pro¬ 
 ducing area, because (1) full produc¬ 
 tion had not been attained, or (2) in¬ 
 stallation of adequate low-cost trans¬ 
 portation was not then available, or (3) 
 there was a lack of competitive factors, 
 or (4) there was a temporary excess sup¬ 
 ply of heavy crude petroleum, or (5) 
 there were other factor^ which tended 
 to prevent a normal price adjustment. 
 Purchasers or sellers in such fields are 
 unable, under Ceiling Price Regulation 
 32 as it now stands, to obtain adjust¬ 
 ments to establish in-line prices. This 
 Supplementary Regulation, however, will 
 allow purchasers or sellers in these af¬ 
 fected areas to make application for ad¬ 
 justment of their ceiling prices. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, special circumstances 
 have made it impractical to consult with 
 the official industrial advisory commit¬ 
 tee; however, a number of individuals 
 from the industry were consulted by the 
 Director prior to the issuance of this 
 
 WASHINGTON 
 
 supplementary regulation and consider¬ 
 ation was given to their recommenda¬ 
 tions. In the judgment of the Director, 
 the provisions of this amendment are 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 So far as practicable, the Director has 
 given due consideration to the national 
 effort to achieve maximum production 
 in the furtherance of the objectives of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Section 1. What this supplementary 
 regulation does. This supplementary 
 regulation permits a purchaser or seller 
 to apply for an adjustment of his ceil¬ 
 ing prices for certain oil fields or pools 
 which are frozen at ceiling prices below 
 the in-line ceiling price of comparable 
 crude petroleum in the same general pro¬ 
 ducing area. This adjustment procedure 
 can be used only when an oil field or pool 
 was frozen at a ceiling price which was 
 not in line with the ceiling price of com¬ 
 parable crude petroleum in the same 
 general producing area. 
 
 This section is intended only as a gen¬ 
 eral description to aid in understanding 
 this supplementary regulation; the fol¬ 
 lowing sections are controlling. 
 
 Sec. 2. Applicability of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation. This supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation applies only to purchas¬ 
 ers or sellers in oil fields or pools which 
 have been frozen at prices below the in¬ 
 line ceiling price for comparable crude 
 petroleum in the same general produc¬ 
 ing area and who now, due to normal in¬ 
 dustry practice should be allowed to ad¬ 
 just their prices up to the in-line ceil¬ 
 ing price of comparable crude petroleum 
 in the same general producing area. 
 
 Sec. 3. How to adjust ceiling prices for 
 oil fields or pools in the same general 
 producing area for comparable crude 
 petroleum, (a) In oil fields or pools 
 frozen at below the in-line ceiling price 
 for comparable crude petroleum in the 
 same general producing area, the pur¬ 
 chaser or seller may make application 
 for an adjustment of his ceiling price 
 at the receiving tank which shall be in 
 line with the ceiling price of comparable 
 crude petroleum produced in the same 
 
 general producing area. An applicant 
 when making an application for adjust¬ 
 ment cannot use ceiling prices deter¬ 
 mined by Sections 16 and 17 as a basis 
 for determining the in-line ceiling price 
 of comparable crude petroleum in the 
 same general producing area. The per¬ 
 son making such application for adjust¬ 
 ment shall file said application with the 
 Petroleum Branch, Transportation, Pub-: 
 lie Utilities and Fuels Division, Office of 
 Price Stabilization, Washington 25, D. C. 
 In connection therewith he shall include 
 a statement setting forth briefly: 
 
 (1) Such new ceiling price. 
 
 (2) An explanation as to why his ceil¬ 
 ing price under Sections 14, 15, 16, 17, 
 or 18 of this regulation has been estab¬ 
 lished at a price which is not in line with 
 the ceiling price of comparable crude 
 petroleum in the same general produc¬ 
 ing area. 
 
 (3) A description of the available 
 transportation facilities and a descrip¬ 
 tion of the gravity, characteristics and 
 source of the crude petroleum in ques¬ 
 tion and evidence to indicate that the 
 adjusted ceiling price will be in line with 
 the ceiling price of comparable crude 
 petroleum in the same general producing 
 area. 
 
 (b) Upon receipt of an application for 
 an adjustment for an in-line ceiling 
 price of an oil field or pool which is pro¬ 
 ducing crude petroleum of comparable 
 quality from the same general produc¬ 
 ing area, the Director shall either ap¬ 
 prove or disapprove the proposed in-line 
 ceiling price. If an application for ad¬ 
 justment is disapproved, the Director 
 may establish a substitute price. A ceil¬ 
 ing price established under this section 
 may be changed at any time by order of 
 the Office of Price Stabilization. If a 
 seller and purchaser have agreed upon a 
 price for the sale of crude petroleum sub¬ 
 ject to the approval of an application for 
 adjustment by the Director of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization, and said applica¬ 
 tion is granted, the ceiling price agreed 
 upon shall be effective retroactively to 
 the effective date of this regulation or to 
 the date of the agreement, whichever is 
 later. 
 
 Sec. 4. Applicability of provisions of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 32. Except to 
 the extent expressly modified or supple¬ 
 mented by this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion all provisions of Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 32 shall remain in full force and 
 effect. 
 
 Effective date. This supplementary 
 regulation is effective October 9, 1951. 
 
 Note: The record-keeping and reporting 
 requirements of this amendment have been 
 approved by the Bureau of the Budget in ac¬ 
 cordance with the Federal Reports Act of 
 1942.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 Executive Order 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), 
 and Economic Stabilization Agency Gen¬ 
 eral Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 63 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This regulation is the fourth to be is¬ 
 sued by the Office of Price Stabilization 
 covering petroleum products. It applies 
 to wholesale sales of stock lubricating 
 oils, industrial lubricating oils, waxes, 
 petrolatums, and all other petroleum 
 products which are not covered by other 
 price regulations except asphalt and 
 asphalt products which will be covered 
 by a separate regulation. The market¬ 
 ing of these products represents a suffi¬ 
 ciently particularized and segregated 
 aspect of the petroleum industry to make 
 desirable, from the standpoint of efficient 
 administration, the issuance of a sepa¬ 
 rate regulation. This view is concurred 
 in by representative members of the 
 petroleum industry. 
 
 The regulation is of the formula- 
 freeze type, but it is the intent of the 
 Director of Price Stabilization to spell 
 out specific dollar and cents prices for 
 stock lubricating oils, waxes and petro¬ 
 latums in principal marketing centers as 
 quickly as studies now under way are 
 completed. The ceiling prices estab¬ 
 lished by this regulation are substan¬ 
 tially the same as those provided by the 
 General Ceiling Price Regulation. In 
 common with the other specific regula¬ 
 tions issued to date covering the prod¬ 
 ucts of the petroleum industry, the 
 base period of December 19, 1950, to 
 January 25, 1951, inclusive is adopted. 
 The reasons for the selection of this base 
 period are set forth in the Statement of 
 Considerations issued with Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17. Also, as distinguished 
 from the General Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion, this regulation defines the highest 
 price charged during the period Decem¬ 
 ber 19, 1950, to January 25, 1951 inclu¬ 
 sive, in such a way as to exclude from 
 use in the calculation of ceiling prices 
 sales made in the afore-mentioned base 
 period pursuant to pre-existing con¬ 
 tracts which were not adjustable to re¬ 
 flect market conditions at or about dates 
 of deliveries thereunder. This provi¬ 
 sion embodies the principle of establish¬ 
 ing ceiling prices on the basis of current 
 market conditions prevailing in the base 
 period. 
 
 A segment of the petroleum industry 
 affected by this regulation purchases 
 large quantities of non-petroleum prod¬ 
 ucts including agricultural commodities 
 such as tallow, lard, castor oil and lin¬ 
 seed oil. These commodities are used in 
 compounded petroleum products for a 
 wide variety of automotive and indus¬ 
 trial applications. Due to substantial 
 increases in the costs of these products 
 and of shipping containers representing 
 a significant element of cost to the in¬ 
 dustry, substantial reductions of margins 
 have resulted since June 1, 1950. Rep¬ 
 resentations have been made to the Office 
 of Price Stabilization that failure to pro¬ 
 vide for adjustments in ceiling prices 
 because of such increased costs might 
 result in an interruption in the supply 
 of many industrial lubricants vital to 
 the defense effort. Moreover, since June, 
 sellers have not priced uniformly on the 
 basis of their increased costs. Many 
 companies, particularly those working on 
 short inventories, advanced their selling 
 prices in conformity with their new 
 costs. Other companies did not, but as 
 a result of such higher costs many of 
 these were contemplating changes in 
 their selling prices during November and 
 December to be made effective early in 
 1951. There is normally a time lag of 
 between 60 and 90 days between pro¬ 
 nounced changes in costs and their re¬ 
 flection in selling prices by this segment 
 of the industry. On December 18, 1950, 
 the Economic Stabilization Agency made 
 a request of 31 principal refiners to hold 
 in abeyance voluntarily any contem¬ 
 plated price increases pending the com¬ 
 pletion of price analyses of the industry. 
 This request for voluntary cooperation 
 was extensively publicized by industry 
 trade journals and compliance appears 
 to have been general. Consequently, 
 with the issuance of the General Ceiling 
 Price Regulation, a number of tradi¬ 
 tional price relationships which were 
 distorted during this period were frozen 
 into ceilings. To correct this situation, 
 the regulation permits sellers to apply 
 for an adjustment of their ceiling prices 
 when, due to temporary conditions, such 
 ceiling prices are either inconsistent with 
 their customary pricing practices or 
 their customary price relationship to 
 other sellers of their class. 
 
 The regulation also makes provision 
 to allow a refiner, blender or compounder 
 whose total costs of components of a 
 product on March 15, 1951, exceed by 
 more than 5 percent such costs on June 
 1, 1950, because of a change in the costs 
 of the purchased components entering 
 directly into the product and/or the non- 
 returnable container used for shipping 
 such product, to modify his ceiling price 
 for the product to reflect the dollar and 
 cents increased costs of purchased com¬ 
 ponents and/or non-returnable contain¬ 
 ers. However, this adjustment is sub¬ 
 ject to the proviso that in computing the 
 
 amount that may be added to ceiling 
 prices there shall be deducted from the 
 increased costs the amount by which the 
 seller’s ceiling price on March 15, 1951, 
 exceeds his selling price on June 1, 1950. 
 The effect of this provision is to restore 
 and maintain dollar and cents margins in 
 existence during the period immediately 
 prior to the outbreak of hostilities in 
 Korea for a large number of compounded 
 petroleum products. It also substantially 
 reduces an existing distortion in the price 
 relationship between compounded and 
 uncompounded products of the industry. 
 In adopting the stipulation that the in¬ 
 crease or decline in costs shall be more 
 than 5 percent before a change in ceiling 
 prices may be made or required, the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization gave consid¬ 
 eration to the desirability of preventing 
 every change in cost, no matter how in¬ 
 finitesimal, from being reflected in ceil¬ 
 ing prices and to the customary practice 
 of the petroleum industry of maintaining 
 stable consumer prices within tolerable 
 limits of cost variations. However, it 
 is recognized that in some cases the 5 
 percent requirement may result in a dis¬ 
 tortion in the customary price relation¬ 
 ships maintained by a seller on a given 
 line of petroleum products. Accordingly, 
 any seller who believes that meeting this 
 requirement is a cause of such distortion 
 may request that consideration be given 
 to the special circumstances involved. 
 
 The above formula differs from that 
 used in Ceiling Price Regulation 22 in 
 several respects. Under Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 22 sellers establishing their 
 ceiling prices adjust their pre-Korean 
 prices by adding to such prices an ad¬ 
 justment factor to reflect advances in 
 labor and material costs. This is de¬ 
 signed to preserve pre-Korean margins 
 and to eliminate inflationary price in¬ 
 creases not justified by cost increases in 
 the post-Korean period. The adjust¬ 
 ment procedure incorporated in this reg¬ 
 ulation allows a seller the choice of 
 adopting either his base period ceiling 
 price for a particular compounded prod¬ 
 uct or of adjusting his June 1, 1950, 
 selling price for the increased costs of 
 purchased components and/or contain¬ 
 ers since that date. In computing in¬ 
 creased costs, no allowance may be made 
 for labor costs or increases in manufac¬ 
 turing costs of products directly pro¬ 
 duced from a seller’s own refinery. Thus, 
 the formula is narrower than the one 
 in Ceiling Price Regulation 22. In 
 adopting this limited adjustment factor, 
 the Director was guided by the extreme 
 difficulty of ascertaining a generally ac¬ 
 ceptable basis for allocating costs of 
 products produced in a multiple prod¬ 
 ucts refinery. It is customary industry 
 practice to impute a value to its products, 
 such imputation being predicated on 
 market values rather than cost. Be¬ 
 cause of this arbitrary costing method, 
 it was deemed impracticable to reflect 
 
81 Trans 38:2 
 
 in total cost the changes in these im¬ 
 puted values since the pre-Korean 
 period. It was deemed undesirable for 
 this reason, among others, to require a 
 recalculation of all ceiling prices as pro¬ 
 vided by Ceiling Price Regulation 22. 
 Such a recalculation would necessitate 
 the adoption of arbitrary cost imputa¬ 
 tions to determine total cost changes. 
 Also, to require reductions where price 
 changes exceed the increases in the costs 
 of purchased components or containers 
 alone would be impractical because such 
 price changes may have reflected total 
 cost changes not accounted for in the 
 formula. 
 
 The regulation also authorizes the ad¬ 
 dition to ceiling prices of transportation 
 rate increases occurring between Jan¬ 
 uary 26, 1951, and May 15, 1951, in¬ 
 clusive, which have been authorized by 
 Federal or State regulatory bodies or the 
 Office of Price Stabilization. This pro¬ 
 vision has been adopted because trans¬ 
 portation charges represent a significant 
 element of cost in the case of many 
 products governed by this regulation due 
 to the long distances over which they 
 are transported, often in small volume. 
 Moreover, such products are frequently 
 sold on narrow margins which are in¬ 
 sufficient to allow marketers to absorb 
 transportation rate increases. 
 
 One of the more serious problems con¬ 
 fronting the petroleum industry is the 
 growing scarcity of steel containers 
 which are indispensable to the distribu¬ 
 tion of petroleum products. Customarily 
 the petroleum industry sells a substantial 
 portion of its products on a non-return¬ 
 able drum basis. It has now become im¬ 
 perative that drums be returned to 
 primary sellers, necessitating that such 
 sellers shift from a non-returnable to a 
 returnable drum basis. Since drums had 
 a value during the base period to pur¬ 
 chasers who are now required to return 
 them, it is equitable that an allowance 
 be made to such purchasers for the loss 
 of value involved. Such value was vari¬ 
 able depending upon the disposition in¬ 
 dividual purchasers made of these drums, 
 and it is not possible to ascertain such 
 values with any degree of accuracy. In 
 the judgment of the Director of Price 
 Stabilization, it is desirable that these 
 values be specific and uniform and in 
 conformity with the ceiling prices estab¬ 
 lished for raw used drums purchased by 
 container reconditioners. The specific 
 allowances set forth in this regulation 
 conform, therefore, to the ceiling prices 
 as established for raw used drums under 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 36, Used Steel 
 Drums, effective May 16, 1951. 
 
 At the present time there exists a vari¬ 
 ance among suppliers in their ceiling 
 deposit charges for returnable drums. 
 Provision is made in the regulation to 
 allow a uniform deposit charge of $10 
 for 55-gallon steel drums and lesser ap¬ 
 propriately related amounts for smaller 
 size drums. This is designed to make 
 possible a uniform deposit system for the 
 petroleum industry and to provide a 
 maximum deposit charge for sellers who 
 since the base period have converted 
 from a non-returnable drum basis to a 
 returnable drum basis. The deposit 
 charges are higher, in some instances, 
 
 than actually charged by suppliers dur¬ 
 ing the base period, but under prevailing 
 circumstances such higher deposits ap¬ 
 pear warranted. Moreover, although 
 these deposit charges are also higher 
 than replacement cost, they are not so 
 high that they may be considered sus¬ 
 ceptible to evasive use. 
 
 A characteristic feature of the seg¬ 
 ment of the industry covered by this reg¬ 
 ulation is the large number of new prod¬ 
 ucts it constantly introduces to improve 
 industrial processes and to meet novel 
 and exacting engineering requirements. 
 In establishing new product pricing 
 methods and procedures, convenient 
 and, where possible, practically auto¬ 
 matic pricing mechanisms are provided 
 for reaching sound results. The regula¬ 
 tion contains three methods for estab¬ 
 lishing ceiling prices for new products. 
 
 (1) Minor differences method. For 
 any new product that differs from a 
 product for which a ceiling price has 
 been established under the regulation 
 only by reason of minor differences in 
 composition which do not prevent its 
 offering substantially equivalent service¬ 
 ability, the ceiling price for such prod¬ 
 uct shall be the same as the ceiling price 
 for the product from which it differs only 
 because of such minor changes. Specifi¬ 
 cally, if the minor changes do not reduce 
 or increase the cost of the product for 
 which a ceiling price has been estab¬ 
 lished by more than 5 percent and if the 
 new product will render substantially 
 equivalent serviceability, the ceiling 
 price remains unchanged. Sellers pric¬ 
 ing under this provision are not required 
 to file with the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion since it is the intent of the Office of 
 Price Stabilization to reduce the report¬ 
 ing burden both on industry and govern¬ 
 ment whenever possible. The require¬ 
 ment of “substantially equivalent 
 serviceability” is intended to preclude the 
 risk of product deterioration which may 
 not be reflected in ceiling prices. At the 
 same time, the provision makes possible 
 changes of an inconsequential nature, 
 either to meet more perfectly an engi¬ 
 neering requirement or because identical 
 components are not available, without 
 disturbance of ceiling prices. By fur¬ 
 ther requiring that the difference in cost 
 shall be confined to 5 percent, a greater 
 degree of price stability is assured. How¬ 
 ever, provision is made for sellers who 
 believe that a hardship results from this 
 requirement to use the ‘ Comparable 
 Products Margin Method” of pricing. 
 
 (2) Comparable Products Margin 
 Method. This method permits a seller 
 who cannot price under other provisions 
 of the regulation to determine his ceiling 
 price on the basis of the average of the 
 percentage mark-ups on two of the sell¬ 
 er’s comparable products on which he has 
 established ceiling prices. The seller 
 chooses his two most comparable prod¬ 
 ucts, one next lower in cost and one next 
 higher in cost; calculates the percentage 
 markup included in the ceiling price of 
 each product; takes an average of these 
 two percentage mark-ups, and uses this 
 figure in determining his mark-up in the 
 new ceiling price. 
 
 Comparability of products is deter¬ 
 mined on the basis of similarity of end 
 
 use and proximity of costs. Two prod¬ 
 ucts are of similar end use if sold for 
 the same general purpose such as motor 
 oils, gear lubricants, quenching oils. 
 However, consideration is to be given to 
 products of similar specifications and 
 composition. Having similar end use, 
 products may be considered comparable 
 if their costs do not vary by more than 
 20 percent. 
 
 For resellers, current delivered costs of 
 the products are to be used as costs in 
 making comparisons. For blenders and 
 compounders, the costs to be used are 
 current delivered costs of components. 
 For refiners on the other hand, while 
 using current delivered costs for the 
 components they purchase, some other 
 value factor must be used for components 
 they produce. It is recognized that it is 
 not possible to determine the actual cost 
 of a product produced in a multiple prod¬ 
 uct refinery. Therefore, in evaluating 
 such a component, the refiner must use 
 the refinery value, inventory value, works 
 billing price, or some other appropriate 
 value which has been imputed to the 
 component during the base period as evi¬ 
 denced by accounting records maintained 
 for this purpose. This value factor must 
 have been customarily used for evaluat¬ 
 ing the components of the new product as 
 well as for the comparable products. Al¬ 
 though the use of this method will not 
 always result in 100 percent accuracy in 
 determining margins, particularly when 
 the proportion of purchased to produced 
 components varies greatly for the prod¬ 
 ucts being compared, it nevertheless pro¬ 
 vides as satisfactory a method as possible 
 for the purpose of determining new 
 ceiling prices under this provision, and 
 will result in ceiling prices which are in 
 line with other prices established by the 
 regulation. A form is provided for re¬ 
 porting to the Office of Price Stabilization 
 ceiling prices established by this “com¬ 
 parable products margin method. ” Upon 
 filing the price determined by use of this 
 method, the price so established is the 
 seller’s ceiling price until changed or dis¬ 
 approved by the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion. 
 
 (3) Final Pricing Method. When the 
 “comparable products margin method” 
 cannot be used, the seller is permitted to 
 establish a ceiling price in line with the 
 level of ceiling prices otherwise estab¬ 
 lished by this regulation. In substan¬ 
 tiation thereof, the seller is required to 
 submit certain specified information. 
 
 In establishing the foregoing pricing 
 methods and procedures, the Director 
 of Price Stabilization has given careful 
 consideration to their adaptation to the 
 customary practices of the industry so 
 as to provide as flexible an instrument 
 as possible within the general context 
 of price controls. 
 
 Prior to the formulation of this regu¬ 
 lation the Director of Price Stabilization 
 advised v/ith a large number of persons 
 representing a substantial part of the 
 industry and the regulation has been re¬ 
 viewed by the Petroleum Industry Ad¬ 
 visory Committee fofc Lubricating Oils, 
 Industrial Oils, Waxes and Petrolatums 
 established by the Director of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization.

 Ceiling prices for these products are to 
 be determined by the following regula¬ 
 tions whichever is by its terms applica¬ 
 ble: The General Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion, Ceiling Price Regulation No. 17, 
 Ceiling Price Regulation No. 22, or any 
 other specific price regulation which may 
 hereafter be issued covering these 
 products. 
 
 Sec. 2. Experimental sale. The first 
 sale to one or more companies for experi¬ 
 mental purposes of any product covered 
 by this regulation is exempt from afi 
 ceiling price regulations and orders. 
 
 Sec. 3. Transactions and persons 
 covered. This regulation covers all 
 types of sales and deliveries of products 
 covered by this regulation either by re¬ 
 finers, blenders, resellers, or any other 
 person except the following: 
 
 (a) Retail sales. Retail sales at re¬ 
 tail establishments, including transac¬ 
 tions through stationary retail facilities 
 which are in conjunction with bulk 
 plants, terminals, refineries, or wholesale 
 establishments. 
 
 (b) Exchanges. Exchanges of petro¬ 
 leum products between refiners and 
 other petroleum sellers, provided such 
 exchanges conform to customary prac¬ 
 tices of the industry during the base pe¬ 
 riod. Such exchanges are also exempt 
 from all ceiling price regulations. The 
 Office of Price Stabilization will not grant 
 any increases in the ceiling prices of 
 petroleum products covered by this reg¬ 
 ulation where the requested revision in 
 price is due to the price at which such 
 products have been exchanged. 
 
 (c) Subsidiaries. Sales between cor¬ 
 porations when one is a wholly-owned 
 subsidiary of the other, or when both are 
 wholly-owned subsidiaries of a third 
 corporation, and sales between such 
 other affiliated or controlled corporations 
 as are especially excepted by order in 
 writing by the Director of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation or his duly authorized represent¬ 
 ative, provided prices at which such 
 sales are made do not affect the level of 
 existing ceiling prices. Such sales are 
 also exempt from all ceiling price regu¬ 
 lations. 
 
 Sec. 4. Geographical coverage. The 
 provisions of this regulation are applica¬ 
 ble to the United States, its territories 
 and possessions and the District of Co¬ 
 lumbia. 
 
 Sec. 5. Imports. Ceiling prices in this 
 regulation shall apply even though the 
 product involved originated outside of 
 
 the area covered by the regulation and 
 was imported into such area. 
 
 Sec. 6. Transfers of business or stock in 
 trade. If the business, assets or stock 
 in trade of any business are sold or other¬ 
 wise transferred after January 26, 1951, 
 and the transferee carries on the busi¬ 
 ness or continues to deal in the same 
 type of products in an establishment 
 separate from any other establishment 
 previously owned or operated by him, the 
 ceiling prices of the transferee shall be 
 the same as those to which his trans¬ 
 feror would have been subject if no such 
 transfer had taken place, and his obli¬ 
 gation to keep records sufficient to verify 
 such prices shall be the same. The 
 transferor shall either preserve and 
 make available or turn over to the trans¬ 
 feree all records of transactions prior to 
 the transfer which are necessary to en¬ 
 able the transferee to comply with the 
 record provisions of this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 7. Adjustable pricing. Any per¬ 
 son may agree to sell at a price which 
 can be increased up to the ceiling price 
 in effect at the time of delivery; but no 
 person may, unless authorized by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, deliver at 
 prices to be adjusted upward in accord¬ 
 ance with action taken by the Director 
 after delivery. Such authorization may 
 be given when a request for a change in 
 the applicable ceiling price is pending, 
 but only if the authorization is necessary 
 to promote distribution or production 
 and if it will not interfere with the pur¬ 
 poses of the Defense Production Act of 
 1950. The authorization may be given 
 by the Director or by any official of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization to whom the 
 authority to grant such authorization 
 has been delegated. The authorization 
 will be given by order, except that it 
 may be given by letter or telegram when 
 the contemplated revision will be the 
 granting of an individual application for 
 adjustment. 
 
 Sec. 8. Petitions for amendment. Any 
 person seeking an amendment of any 
 provision of this regulation may file a 
 petition for amendment in accordance 
 with the provisions of Price Procedural 
 Regulation No. 1. 
 
 Sec. 9. Applications for adjustment. 
 (a) The Director of Price Stabilization 
 may adjust by order any ceiling price 
 established under this regulation for a 
 seller when it appears: 
 
 (1) Price inequities, (i) That due to 
 temporary conditions a seller has a ceil¬ 
 ing price which is not in line with his 
 customary pricing practice or with his 
 customary price relationship with other 
 sellers in the same marketing area. 
 
 (b) The seller applying under para¬ 
 graph (a) (1) of this section shall show 
 to the satisfaction of the Director: 
 
 (1) The basis upon which it is con¬ 
 cluded that the ceiling prices are below 
 normal, with a statement of how long 
 the inequity has been in existence. 
 
 (2) The ceiling prices proposed. 
 
 (3) Information supporting why the 
 proposed ceiling prices would be normal. 
 
 (4) A statement that the proposed 
 ceiling prices will be in line with the level 
 of ceiling prices otherwise established by 
 the regulation. 
 
81 Trans 38:4 
 
 (5) Applications for adjustment for 
 price inequities shall be filed with the 
 Petroleum Branch, Office of Price Stabi¬ 
 lization, Washington 25, D. C. 
 
 Sec. 10. Price revisions incident to 
 orders establishing specific prices. The 
 Director of Price Stabilization may by 
 supplementary regulation or by special 
 order of general applicability establish 
 specific ceiling prices or otherwise modify 
 the provisions of this regulation with re¬ 
 spect to certain products, transactions or 
 geographical area. 
 
 Sec. 11. Shifts which must be re¬ 
 ported. Where a seller has established 
 a ceiling price on a delivered-at-destina- 
 tion basis at a given point for a particu¬ 
 lar petroleum product to a purchaser and 
 thereafter sells such purchaser on an 
 f. o. b. shipping point price basis, he shall 
 report such shift to the Director of Price 
 Stabilization within thirty days after the 
 date such sale is made if the effect of 
 selling on an f. o. b. shipping point price 
 basis is to increase the laid-down cost 
 to the purchaser above the seller’s de- 
 livered-at-destination ceiling price to 
 such purchaser. However, a seller may 
 not shift to an f. o. b. shipping point price 
 basis unless he has an f. o. b. shipping 
 point ceiling price properly determined 
 under the appropriate provisions of this 
 regulation. The Director of Price Stabi¬ 
 lization may by special order modify the 
 terms and provisions applicable to such 
 sales when in his judgment, the reported 
 shift constitutes an evasion of the pur¬ 
 poses of this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 12. Records —(a) Record-keep¬ 
 ing requirements. (1) With respect to 
 any commodity covered by this regula¬ 
 tion the provisions of section 16 of the 
 General Ceiling Price Regulation are 
 hereby continued in effect insofar as 
 they apply to the preparation and pres¬ 
 ervation of “base period records’’ and 
 such “current records’’ as have been 
 made as a result of sales between Janu¬ 
 ary 26, 1951, and the effective date of 
 this regulation. 1 2 3 4 
 
 1 The portions of the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation here referred to are as follows: 
 
 Sec. 16. (a) Base period records. You 
 must preserve and keep available, for ex¬ 
 amination by the Director of Price Stabi¬ 
 lization those records in your possession 
 showing the prices charged by you for the 
 commodities or service which you delivered 
 or offered to deliver during the base pe¬ 
 riod. • * * 
 
 (2) In addition, on or before March 22, 
 
 1951, you must prepare and preserve a state¬ 
 ment showing the categories of commodities 
 in which you made deliveries and offers for 
 delivery during the base period. * * » 
 
 (3) On or before March 22, 1951, you must 
 
 also prepare and preserve a celling price list, 
 showing the commodities in each category 
 (listing each model, type, style, and kind), 
 or the services, delivered or offered for deliv- 
 ery by you during the base period together 
 with a description or identification of each 
 such commodity or service and a statement 
 of the ceiling price. Your ceiling price list 
 may refer to an attached price list or cata¬ 
 log. * • • 
 
 (4) You must also prepare and preserve 
 
 a statement of your customary price differ¬ 
 entials for terms and conditions of sale and 
 classes of purchasers, which you had in ef¬ 
 fect during the base period. * * * 
 
 (2) (i) You shall prepare and preserve 
 for the life of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 and for two years thereafter 
 all records necessary to determine 
 whether you have computed your ceiling 
 prices correctly, including (but not lim¬ 
 ited to) records showing base period 
 prices and product costs, and records 
 showing costs, prices, and sales for the 
 other applicable periods and dates re¬ 
 ferred to in the regulation. 
 
 (ii) The records to be preserved un¬ 
 der this paragraph must include appro¬ 
 priate work sheets. The work sheets 
 may be in any convenient form so long 
 as they include all data and calculations 
 required to determine your ceiling prices. 
 
 (3) You shall preserve for a period of 
 two years all records showing the prices 
 at which sales of commodities subject 
 to the regulation have been made. 
 
 Sec. 13. Compliance with this regula¬ 
 tion required —(a) Prohibitions against 
 selling or delivery of petroleum products 
 at prices above the ceiling. On and after 
 the effective date of this regulation re¬ 
 gardless of any contract or other obliga¬ 
 tion, no person shall sell or deliver and 
 no person shall buy or receive in the 
 course of trade or business any petro¬ 
 leum product covered by this regulation 
 at prices higher than the ceiling prices 
 fixed by this regulation, and no person 
 shall agree, offer, solicit, or attempt to 
 do anything prohibited in this section. 
 Prices lower than the ceiling prices may 
 be charged, demanded, paid or offered. 
 
 (b) Customary price differentials. 
 The ceiling prices determined under this 
 regulation shall reflect customary price 
 differentials, including discounts, allow¬ 
 ances and premiums in effect during the 
 base period to all classes of purchasers. 
 
 (c) Evasion. The ceiling prices estab¬ 
 lished by this regulation shall not be 
 evaded either by direct or. indirect meth¬ 
 ods in connection with the purchase, 
 sale, delivery or transfer of petroleum 
 products alone or in conjunction with 
 any other materials, or by way of any 
 commission, service, transportation, or 
 any other charge, or discount, premium 
 or other privilege, or by tie-in-agreement 
 or other trade understanding or by a 
 change in the quality of the product, or 
 otherwise, except when such change in 
 quality results from order of any agency 
 of the United States Government. 
 
 (d) Enforcement. Any person who 
 violates any provision of this regulation 
 is subject to the criminal penalties, civil 
 enforcement actions, and suits for dam- 
 
 (b) Current records. If you sell commod¬ 
 ities or services covered by this regulation 
 you must prepare and keep available for ex¬ 
 amination by the Director of Price Stabi¬ 
 lization for a period of two years, records of 
 the kind which you customarily keep show¬ 
 ing the prices which you charge for the com¬ 
 modities or services. In addition, you must 
 prepare and preserve records indicating 
 clearly the basis upon which you have de¬ 
 termined the celling price for any commod¬ 
 ities or services not delivered by you or of¬ 
 fered for delivery during the base pe¬ 
 riod. • • * 
 
 “Base period” as used in section 16 of the 
 General Celling Price Regulation means De¬ 
 cember 19, 1950, to January 25, 1951, Inclu¬ 
 sive. 
 
 age provided for by the Defense Produc¬ 
 tion Act of 1950. 
 
 Sec. 14. Definitions —(a) “Person” in¬ 
 cludes an individual, corporation, part¬ 
 nership, association, or any other organ¬ 
 ized group of persons, or legal successor 
 and representatives of any of the fore¬ 
 going, and includes the United States or 
 any agency thereof, or any other gov¬ 
 ernment or any of its political subdivi¬ 
 sions, or any agency of any of the 
 foregoing. 
 
 (b) “Retail establishment” means the 
 store, shop, garage, service station (land 
 or marine), or other place of business at 
 which the major portion of the sales of 
 petroleum products is sold in customary 
 small quantities to consumers. 
 
 (c) “Contract” means an agreement, 
 the existence of which is established by 
 written evidence. 
 
 (d) “Comparable competitive prod¬ 
 uct .” For a product of a particular seller 
 to be regarded as comparable to the 
 product of another seller, it must cus¬ 
 tomarily have been so regarded in trade 
 practice and it must be a product that 
 has customarily been sold in competition 
 with the product of such other seller. 
 
 (e) “Offering price.” The price at 
 which a product was offered means the 
 price shown in the seller’s price list, or if 
 a particular price was not included there¬ 
 in, or if he had no price list, the price at 
 which he offered products in any other 
 written manner. Such prices shall be 
 subject to the seller’s customary allow¬ 
 ances, discounts, and price differentials. 
 
 (f) “End use." Two products shall be 
 considered as having similar end use if 
 sold for the same general purpose; for 
 example, products in each of the follow¬ 
 ing categories may be considered as hav¬ 
 ing similar end use; motor oils; pressure 
 gun greases; gear lubricants; wheel bear¬ 
 ing greases; hydraulic oils; rest preven¬ 
 tives; cutting oils; turbine oils; quench¬ 
 ing oils; textile oils; and ink oils. How¬ 
 ever, in making product comparisons 
 under applicable provisions of this regu¬ 
 lation, due consideration shall be given 
 to products of similar specifications and 
 composition. For example, if a new 
 Pennsylvania motor oil is being priced, 
 comparison shall be made with other 
 Pennsylvania motor oils in the seller’s 
 line; if he has none, comparison shall 
 then be made with those motor oils most 
 nearly approximating the new product in 
 specifications, e. g., Mid-Continent Sol¬ 
 vent Refined. 
 
 (g) “ Purchaser of the same class.” 
 This term refers to the practice adopted 
 by the seller in setting different prices for 
 a product for sales to purchasers per¬ 
 forming different functions (for ex¬ 
 ample, refiners; jobbers; distributors; 
 commercial, industrial or private con¬ 
 sumers) or for purchasers performing 
 the same functions but located in differ¬ 
 ent areas or buying in different quanti¬ 
 ties or grades or under different condi¬ 
 tions of sale. Price is prima facie evi¬ 
 dence but not conclusive evidence to be 
 considered in determining if a purchaser 
 belongs to a particular class; however, a 
 lower price to a particular purchaser 
 which was to meet competition and was 
 otherwise inconsistent with the seller’s 
 practice in setting the same price to pur¬ 
 chasers in the same functional class shall 
 
81 Trans 38:5 
 
 neither result in placing the particular 
 purchaser in a lower price class nor be 
 considered in determining a seller’s ceil¬ 
 ing price. 
 
 (h) “Sale.” The term “sale” for pur¬ 
 poses of using the "ceiling price based on 
 sales” method of section 16 shall include: 
 
 (1) Sales in the base period pursuant 
 to oral or written contracts, including 
 spot sales, made during such period. 
 
 (2) Written contracts made during 
 the base period whether or not any de¬ 
 liveries were made thereunder, and writ¬ 
 ten contracts made during the period 
 June 1, 1950, to December 18, 1950, in¬ 
 clusive, under which no deliveries were 
 made in the base period but which pro¬ 
 vided for performance to begin during 
 or after the base period. 
 
 (3) Deliveries made during the base 
 period under a contract made between 
 June 1, 1950, and December 18, 1950, in¬ 
 clusive, if such contract was adjustable 
 to reflect market conditions during the 
 base period. 
 
 Provided, however, That in all cases 
 deliveries made in the base period under 
 contracts entered into prior to June 1, 
 
 1950, shall not be considered as a "sale,” 
 unless the buyer and seller agree to con¬ 
 tinue such contracts in which case the 
 ceiling price may be established on the 
 basis of such contracts. 
 
 (i) “Base period”. This term means 
 the period from December 19, 1950, to 
 January 25, 1951, inclusive. 
 
 (j) “Delivery point”. This term 
 means the different customary price 
 areas of the seller, such price areas being 
 reflected by the seller on a stated price 
 or differential basis. Each such price 
 area shall be interpreted as a delivery 
 point and the ceiling price of each seller 
 in each such price area shall reflect his 
 customary differentials or differences in 
 prices. 
 
 CEILING PRICES 
 
 Sec. 15. Specific ceiling prices for cer¬ 
 tain stock oils in bulk lots. [Reserved]. 
 
 Sec. 16. Formula prices —(a) Ceiling 
 price based on sales. Where no ap¬ 
 plicable specific price has been estab¬ 
 lished under section 15, the ceiling price 
 of a seller for each product covered by 
 this regulation at each shipping or de¬ 
 livery point shall be the highest price 
 charged at that point by him during the 
 period December 19, 1950, to January 25, 
 
 1951, inclusive, for a sale of such pe¬ 
 troleum product to a purchaser of the 
 same class. 
 
 (b) Ceiling price based on offering 
 
 price. If a seller is unable to determine 
 a ceiling price under paragraph (a) of 
 this section, the ceiling price for such 
 seller at each shipping or delivery point 
 for each petroleum product covered by 
 this regulation shall be the highest offer¬ 
 ing price at the shipping or delivery point 
 during the period December 19, 1950 to 
 January 25, 1951, inclusive, for sale of 
 such petroleum product to a purchaser 
 of the same class. • 
 
 (c) Ceiling prices determined under 
 paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section 
 shall reflect the seller’s customary allow¬ 
 ances, discounts, and price differentials. 
 
 Sec. 17. Seller unable to determine 
 ceiling price —(a) Minor differences 
 
 method. Where a ceiling price for a 
 particular product cannot be determined 
 under the preceding methods of this 
 regulation and where the product differs 
 from another product for which a ceil¬ 
 ing price has been determined under this 
 regulation, only by reason of minor dif¬ 
 ferences in composition which do not 
 prevent its offering substantially equiv¬ 
 alent serviceability, the ceiling price of 
 the particular product shall be the same 
 as that of the product for which a ceil¬ 
 ing price has been established except 
 that: 
 
 (1) Refiners, blenders, and compound¬ 
 ers. A refiner, blender, or compounder 
 may not use this provision if the current 
 delivered cost of the components of the 
 particular product varies from the cur¬ 
 rent delivered cost of the components of 
 the product for which such sellers have 
 an established ceiling price by more than 
 5 percent of the current delivered cost 
 of the original product. 
 
 In computing cost, a refiner shall use 
 with respect to the components obtained 
 from his own refinery operations the 
 value which he placed on those compo¬ 
 nents during the base period as evidenced 
 by accounting records maintained for 
 this purpose. 
 
 However, any seller subject to this pro¬ 
 vision who believes that an undue hard¬ 
 ship is imposed upon him by pricing 
 hereunder, may file a ceiling price under 
 section 17 (b) stating the reasons why 
 he should not be required to price under 
 the minor differences method. When 
 such a filing is made, the Director of 
 Price Stabilization may review all prices 
 established by the seller under the minor 
 differences method and revise them if, 
 in his judgment, the over-all application 
 of this section in the particular seller’s 
 case results in ceiling prices not in line 
 with ceiling prices established for other 
 sellers subject to this minor differences 
 method. 
 
 (2) Resellers. A reseller may not use 
 this provision if the current delivered 
 cost of the particular product varies 
 from the current delivered cost of the 
 product for which he has an established 
 ceiling price by more than 5 per cent of 
 the cost of the original product. 
 
 (b) Comparable products margin 
 method: Where the seller has compara¬ 
 ble products sold during base period. 
 Where a ceiling price for a particular 
 product cannot be determined under the 
 preceding pricing methods, a seller shall 
 establish his ceiling price on the basis 
 of the average of the mark-ups on two 
 comparable products. 
 
 (1) Resellers. A reseller shall select 
 two products of similar end use on which 
 he has established ceiling prices. The 
 two products selected shall be closest in 
 composition, specifications and current 
 delivered costs to the product being 
 priced. Of the two comparable products, 
 one shall be next lower in cost to the new 
 product and the other shall be next 
 higher in cost. In no case shall any 
 product be selected which varies by more 
 than 20 per cent from the current de¬ 
 livered cost of the product being priced. 
 The seller shall establish his ceiling 
 price by (i) dividing the ceiling price for 
 each such product by its current deliv¬ 
 
 ered cost; (ii) adding the resulting 
 figures and dividing by two; (iii) multi¬ 
 plying the current delivered cost of the 
 product priced by the figure obtained in 
 subdivision (ii) of this subparagraph; 
 (iv) copying the form, in subparagraph 
 
 (3) of this paragraph, filling it in and 
 forwarding by registered mail, return 
 receipt requested, to the Petroleum 
 Branch, Office of Price Stabilization, 
 Washington 25, D. C. 
 
 (2) Refiners, blenders and compound¬ 
 ers. A refiner, blender or compounder 
 shall determine his ceiling price by the 
 procedure for resellers in subparagraph 
 (1) of this paragraph, using his current 
 delivered costs for the components he 
 buys. With respect to the components 
 he manufactures, the refiner shall use in 
 the place of current delivered costs of the 
 components the value which he placed 
 on such components during the base 
 period, as evidenced by accounting rec¬ 
 ords maintained for this purpose. 
 
 (3) Filing provision. The ceiling 
 prices determined according to subpara¬ 
 graphs (1) and (2) of this paragraph 
 shall be filed by registered mail, return 
 receipt requested, within 15 days of the 
 making of the sale, with the Petroleum 
 Branch of the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Washington 25, D. C., in the form 
 indicated below. Upon filing, the price 
 shall be the seller’s ceiling price for the 
 particular product unless it is disap¬ 
 proved in writing or a different price 
 is established by the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization. If he wishes, the seller may 
 request a ceiling price before making a 
 sale. A price established under this 
 section may be changed at any time by 
 order of the Office of Price Stabilization. 
 
 If a seller shall fail to report a ceiling 
 price, the Office of Price Stabilization 
 may establish his ceiling price for a par¬ 
 ticular product at the particular point, 
 effective retroactively to the date of the 
 making of the first sale of the product.

 (c) Final pricing method: New prod¬ 
 ucts where the seller has not sold com¬ 
 parable products during base period. If 
 under other provisions of this regula- 
 
81 Trans 38:6 
 
 tion, a* seller is unable to determine his 
 ceiling price at a given shipping or de¬ 
 livery point for any product covered by 
 this regulation, the seller may neverthe¬ 
 less make a sale of such product at that 
 point. If he wishes, he may request a 
 ceiling price before making a sale. 
 Within 15 days after making such a sale, 
 the seller shall file by registered mail, 
 return receipt requested, with the Petro¬ 
 leum Branch, Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Washington 25, D C., a written re¬ 
 quest for approval of a ceiling price in¬ 
 cluding a statement setting forth: 
 
 (1) Why he cannot establish a ceiling 
 price under the methods set forth above. 
 
 (2) The name, established ceiling 
 price, end use, pertinent specifications, 
 composition and current delivered cost 
 of the seller’s product which is most 
 comparable to the new product. 
 
 (3) The proposed ceiling price, class 
 of purchaser to whom applicable, the 
 method used to determine it and the 
 reason why the seller believes the pro¬ 
 posed price is in line with the level of 
 ceiling prices otherwise established by 
 this regulation. 
 
 (4) Names and established ceiling 
 prices of two “comparable competitive 
 products” giving the information which 
 the seller is able to obtain regarding the 
 pertinent specifications and end use of 
 such products. If the seller or any other 
 seller has an established ceiling price or 
 prices at other points for the same com¬ 
 modity for which a tentative price is 
 herein established, such prices for the 
 three nearest points. 
 
 (5) Any other information which the 
 seller can give to substantiate the ceiling 
 price he is filing. The price filed shall 
 be the seller’s ceiling price unless it is 
 disapproved in writing or a different 
 price is established. A price established 
 under this section may be changed at 
 any time by order of the Office of Price 
 Stabilization. If a seller shall fail to re¬ 
 port a ceiling price, the Office of Price 
 Stabilization may upon written notice to 
 the seller establish his ceiling price for 
 the particular product at the particular 
 point, effective retroactively to the date 
 of the making of the first sale of the 
 product. 
 
 INCREASES PERMITTED OR REDUCTIONS 
 REQUIRED , 
 
 Sec. 18. Transportation, (a) There 
 may be added to the applicable ceiling 
 prices determined under other sections 
 of this regulation an amount not in ex¬ 
 cess of the following: 
 
 (1) The exact amount of increase in 
 transportation costs to the seller or his 
 reseller customer resulting from trans¬ 
 portation rate increases including excise 
 taxes applicable to such rate increases 
 between January 26, 1951, and May 15, 
 1951, inclusive, permitted by Federal or 
 State regulatory bodies or by the Office 
 of Price Stabilization. 
 
 (2) Where transportation is in facili¬ 
 ties owned or controlled by the seller the 
 same increases as provided in subpara¬ 
 graph (1) of this paragraph where the 
 movement involved is in lieu of transpor¬ 
 tation by such regulated carrier. 
 
 Sec. 19. Taxes. Any seller may collect, 
 in addition to the ceiling prices estab¬ 
 
 lished by this regulation, any new ex¬ 
 cise, sales, or similar tax imposed upon 
 him after January 25, 1951, by reason of 
 his sales of any of the products covered 
 by this regulation if he is not prohibited 
 by law from making such collection and 
 if he states separately from his selling 
 price the amount of the tax collected. 
 
 Sec. 20. Changes in the costs of pur¬ 
 chased products, components and con¬ 
 tainers — (a) Refiners, blenders and com¬ 
 pounders. When a refiner’s, blender’s or 
 compounder’s total cost of components 
 of a product on March 15, 1951 exceeds 
 by more than 5 percent, his total cost of 
 components on June 1, 1950 because of a 
 change in the costs of the purchased 
 components entering directly into the 
 product and/or the non-returnable con¬ 
 tainer used for shipping such product, he 
 may modify his ceiling price for the 
 product to reflect the dollar and cents 
 increased costs of purchased components 
 and/or non-returnable container. 
 
 However, in computing the amount 
 that may be added to his current ceiling 
 price for each class of purchaser, he 
 shall deduct from his increased costs 
 the amount by which his current ceiling 
 price exceeds his June 1, 1950, ceiling 
 price to that class. In computing costs 
 of purchased components and/or non- 
 returnable containers on June 1, 1950, 
 and March 15, 1951, refiners, blenders 
 and compounders shall use the delivered 
 costs of these products less any dis¬ 
 counts or allowances obtained (not in¬ 
 cluding customary cash discounts) as 
 of the dates nearest, but prior to and 
 including June 1, 1950, and March 15, 
 1951. These costs for both prescribed 
 dates shall be based on normal buying 
 practices. For example, any cost based 
 upon smaller quantity purchases or use 
 of a more distant source of supply than 
 customary would constitute departures 
 from normal buying practices. Refiners, 
 in computing total cost of components 
 on June 1, 1950, shall use as delivered 
 cost for the components obtained from 
 their own refinery operations the value 
 placed on such components on June 1, 
 1950, as evidenced by accounting records 
 maintained for this purpose. Any seller 
 having used this provision to increase 
 his ceiling price for a product shall re¬ 
 duce this new ceiling price by the dollar 
 and cents decreased costs of purchased 
 components and/or non-returnable con¬ 
 tainer when his total costs of compo¬ 
 nents of the product and/or non-return¬ 
 able containers subsequent to March 
 15, 1951, have decreased by more than 
 5 percent. In computing total costs, re¬ 
 finers, blenders and compounders shall 
 use the applicable procedures set forth 
 above. 
 
 (b) Refiners, blenders and compound¬ 
 ers performing the function of resellers 
 and other resellers. When the delivered 
 cost of a product and the non-returnable 
 container used in shipping such product 
 to a reseller (including refiners, blend¬ 
 ers and compounders who resell the 
 product in the same form as purchased) 
 on March 15, 1951, exceeds by more than 
 5 percent his cost on June 1, 1950, he 
 may modify his ceiling price for the 
 product to reflect his dollar and cents 
 increased costs. 
 
 However, in computing the amount 
 that may be added to his current ceiling 
 price for each class of purchaser, he shall 
 deduct from his increased cost the 
 amount by which his current ceiling 
 price exceeds his June 1, 1950, selling 
 price to that class. Any seller having 
 used this provision to increase his ceil-, 
 ing price for a product shall reduce this 
 new ceiling price by the dollar and cents 
 decreased cost of the product when its 
 cost subsequent to March 15, 1951, has 
 decreased by more than 5 percent. 
 
 (c) Distortions. Any seller modifying 
 his ceiling prices pursuant to paragraphs 
 (a) or (b) of this section, who finds that 
 a. distortion results in the customary 
 price relationships among products of a 
 particular series due to the 5 percent lim¬ 
 itation requirement may request that 
 ceiling prices be adjusted on all products 
 in the series in order to maintain their 
 customary price relationships. When 
 such a request is made, the applicant 
 shall submit to the Petroleum Branch, 
 Office of Price Stabilization, Washing¬ 
 ton 25, D. C., (1) the same information 
 as required under paragraph (e) of this 
 section; (2) a statement of the reasons 
 why a distortion in customary price re¬ 
 lationships is created by the seller’s use 
 of section 20; (3) the ceiling prices re¬ 
 quested; and (4) why the establishment 
 of such ceiling prices will result in the 
 maintenance of the seller’s customary 
 price relationships for the products in¬ 
 volved. The ceiling prices requested be¬ 
 cause of distorted price relationships 
 cannot be used until adjusted by order 
 of the Director of Price Stabilization. 
 
 (d) Resellers. Where a refiner’s, 
 blender’s or compounder’s ceiling price 
 for a petroleum product has been in¬ 
 creased or decreased by the use of this 
 section, the reseller’s ceiling price for 
 such product shall be modified by the 
 amount of the dollar and cents difference 
 in cost to him. 
 
 (e) Filing provision. Any seller using 
 paragraph (a) or (b) of this section 
 shall file by registered mail, return re¬ 
 ceipt requested, with the Petroleum 
 Branch, Office of Price Stabilization, 
 Washington 25, D. C., the following in¬ 
 formation: • 
 
 (1) Selling price for the particular 
 product on June 1, 1950. 
 
 (2) Ceiling price for the particular 
 product as established under other pro¬ 
 visions of this regulation. 
 
 (3) Ceiling price as determined by this 
 provision. 
 
 (4) The identification and net deliv¬ 
 ered cost of the purchased product, com¬ 
 ponents and/or non-returnable con¬ 
 tainer on March 15, 1951, or the date 
 nearest but prior thereto on which a 
 purchase was made; the net delivered 
 costs of the purchased product, compo¬ 
 nents and/or non-returnable container 
 on June 1, 1950, or the date nearest but 
 prior thereto on which a purchase was 
 made; and the costs at the time a re¬ 
 calculation is made to reflect decreased 
 costs. Upon filing, the price shall be 
 the seller’s ceiling price for the partic¬ 
 ular product unless it is disapproved in 
 writing or a different price is established 
 by the Office of Price Stabilization. A 
 price established under this section may 
 
81 Trans 38:7 
 
 be changed at any time by order of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization. 
 
 Sec. 21. Containers —(a) Deposits. 
 Any seller subject to the provisions of 
 this regulation may place deposit charges 
 not to exceed the following amounts on 
 the enumerated shipping containers, 
 not including I. C. C. 5 or 5 B drums. 
 Such deposit charges shall be subject 
 to the seller’s customary practice with

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this amend¬ 
 ment to Ceiling Price Regulation 63 is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment excepts from the cov¬ 
 erage of Ceiling Price Regulation 63 sales 
 of lubricating oils, greases, waxes and 
 certain other petroleum products which 
 have been imported into the territories 
 and possessions of the United States. 
 
 This action places the sales of these pe¬ 
 troleum products in the territories and 
 possessions under the provisions of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 9. 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 9 was first ef¬ 
 fective March 7, 1951. It is tailored to 
 the needs and problems of the stabiliza¬ 
 tion program in the sale in the territories 
 and possessions of commodities imported 
 into them. It covered the petroleum 
 products dealt with here until Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 63 became effective on 
 August 13,1951. Experience with the op¬ 
 eration of Ceiling Price Regulation 63 
 on sales in the territories and possessions 
 since then has shown that the considera¬ 
 tions stated as the basis for the issuance 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation 9 are fully 
 present with respect to the products cov¬ 
 ered by Ceiling Price Regulation 63,> and 
 that the fair and effective administration 
 of price control over them in the terri¬ 
 tories and possessions will be aided by re¬ 
 moving them from Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 63 and restoring them to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 9. 
 
 The Director of Price Stabilization has 
 consulted with trade association repre¬ 
 sentatives and members of the industry 
 affected by this amendment and consid¬ 
 eration has been given to the informa¬ 
 tion and suggestions received from them. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 4 of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 63 is amended to read as follows: 
 
 Sec. 4. Sales of products imported into 
 the territories and possessions. This 
 regulation does not cover sales of prod¬ 
 ucts imported into the territories and 
 possessions of the United States, whether 
 made by resellers or by refiners, blenders 
 and compounders performing the func¬ 
 tion of reseller. 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50 U. S. C.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 2 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 63 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 63 revises the provisions of sec¬ 
 tion 18, which deal with increased trans¬ 
 portation costs. First, it eliminates the 
 “cut-off” date of May 15, 1951, so as to 
 permit transportation rate increases ef¬ 
 fective after that date to be passed on 
 to the purchaser in the same manner as 
 those transportation rate increases ef¬ 
 fective between January 26, 1951 and 
 May 15, 1951. Second, it permits the 
 pass-through of certain inbound freight 
 increases in those situations where such 
 inbound freight parallels outbound 
 freight for the majority of the industry. 
 Third, it permits a seller to increase his 
 ceiling price to reflect increases in the 
 transportation rate he used during the 
 base period in accordance with his cus¬ 
 tomary practice as a factor in his price, 
 even though he does not actually use 
 such facilities or actually incur the ex¬ 
 act amount of such increases. Fourth, 
 it permits sellers to round their increased 
 ceiling prices according to customary 
 base period practices. 
 
 Because of the number and size of the 
 increases in transportation rates that 
 have occurred since the “cut-off” date 
 in this regulation and their significance 
 in the marketing of the products covered 
 by CPR 63, it is considered advisable to 
 eliminate the “cut-off” date in line with 
 the policy underlying similar action by 
 the Office of Price Stabilization as ex¬ 
 pressed in other regulations, such as 
 Supplementary Regulations 120 and 122 
 to the General Ceiling Price Regulation, 
 Supplementary Regulation 35 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 22, and others. Ac¬ 
 cordingly, Ceiling Price Regulation 63 
 as changed by this amendment, will per¬ 
 mit increases in ceiling prices to reflect 
 increases in outbound transportation 
 costs resulting from authorized rate in¬ 
 creases effective since May 15, 1951. 
 
 The transportation section was not in¬ 
 tended to permit increased ceiling prices 
 based on higher transportation rates on 
 crude or semi-finished stocks. The lan¬ 
 
 guage of the amendment specifically ex¬ 
 cludes such increases as a basis of in¬ 
 creasing ceiling prices. However, it is 
 recognized that certain sellers must be 
 permitted to reflect increases in inbound 
 freight rates if a disruptive effect on the 
 market is not to result. The great per¬ 
 centage of the products covered by this 
 regulation are produced and sold by the 
 major integrated petroleum companies. 
 The transportation costs incurred by 
 these sellers in the main are for out¬ 
 bound transportation. However, other 
 compounders, blenders and refiners who 
 must purchase their blending stocks or 
 semifinished materials from these in¬ 
 tegrated companies incur inbound 
 freight costs. The inbound freight they 
 incur parallels the outbound freight of 
 the integrated producers, who account 
 for the greater part of the production, 
 and who are in competition with the 
 smaller independent compounders and 
 blenders. To permit these smaller op¬ 
 erators to retain their customary price 
 relationship with those sellers supplying 
 the bulk of these products, this amend¬ 
 ment permits inbound freight increases 
 on semifinished products as a basis for 
 increased ceilings except where ship¬ 
 ment is between units of the same com¬ 
 pany. 
 
 In the marketing of petroleum there 
 are many instances where the market 
 price of a product at a delivery point, 
 while reflecting some elements of trans¬ 
 portation, will not reflect the exact 
 amount of freight that the individual 
 seller incurs in making delivery to that 
 point. Thus, a particular seller may use 
 his freight cost in shipping product to 
 one point in a pricing area for establish¬ 
 ing prices throughout the pricing area. 
 Again the seller may have had to absorb 
 some freight because he has sold at a 
 market price based on product shipped 
 from a basing point. Conversely, he 
 may have had an advantage in selling 
 in a market where the price reflected 
 freight from a point farther than his 
 point of supply. In another situation a 
 seller's market price may customarily 
 reflect the rates for a means of transpor¬ 
 tation other than the means he actually 
 uses, but which is the means normally 
 used by most other sellers in that area. 
 In order to maintain the stability of the 
 market this regulation permits increases 
 in ceiling prices based on the amount of 
 increases in the transportation rate cus¬ 
 tomarily used by the seller as a factor 
 in his price if his base period prices re¬ 
 flected such customary rate. In this 
 way sellers may not increase their ceil¬ 
 ing prices more than they would have 
 in ordinary practice, nor would those 
 who had no or a lesser increase in trans¬ 
 portation rates find themselves with ceil¬ 
 ing prices that do not reflect their cus¬ 
 
 tomary price relationship with other 
 sellers in the market. 
 
 Instances have come to the attention 
 of the Office of Price Stabilization where 
 sellers have attempted to raise ceiling 
 prices because of a shift from a normal 
 method of transportation or normal 
 source of supply to a higher cost method 
 of transportation or a source of supply 
 incurring a higher transportation cost. 
 It was not intended to provide for ad¬ 
 justment of ceiling prices because of cost 
 increases resulting from shifts in source 
 of supply. It is stated explicitly in the 
 amendment that such abnormal supply 
 situations do not qualify the seller for 
 an increase in his ceiling prices under 
 the transportation section of the regu¬ 
 lation. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the changes set forth 
 in these amendatory provisions are gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and are neces¬ 
 sary to effectuate the purposes of Title IV 
 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 18 of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 63 is amended to read as follows: 
 
 Sec. 18. Transportation, (a) A seller 
 may add to the applicable ceiling prices 
 determined under other sections of this 
 regulation an amount calculated in ac¬ 
 cordance with whichever of the following 
 three methods conforms to his customary 
 practice in the base period: 
 
 (1) A seller may add the increase in 
 his unit cost resulting from transporta¬ 
 tion rate increases after January 25, 
 1951 permitted by Federal or State reg¬ 
 ulatory bodies or by the Office of Price- 
 Stabilization. Such increases may in¬ 
 clude excise taxes, which are a part of or 
 are applicable to the increase. If the 
 increase in transportation rates occurs 
 after the effective date of this regulation 
 the higher ceiling prices may be made 
 effective on or after the day that the 
 increased transportation rate goes into 
 effect. 
 
 (2) Where the transportation of the 
 product is in facilities owned or con¬ 
 trolled by the seller and is in lieu of 
 movement by a regulated carrier, he may 
 add the unit increase that would be per¬ 
 mitted him in subparagraph <1> of this 
 paragraph, had he used such regulated 
 carrier. 
 
 (3) Where a seller in accordance with 
 his customary pricing practice included 
 in his selling price during the base period 
 the transportation rate from a point 
 other than his own source of supply, or 
 
81 Trans 38:12 
 
 the transportation rate to a point in a 
 pricing area other than the rate to the 
 actual point of delivery, or the rate of a 
 means of transportation other than, that 
 actually used by him, he may add the 
 unit increase permitted by Federal or 
 State regulatory bodies or by the Office 
 of Price Stabilization in such transpor¬ 
 tation rate. 
 
 <b) A seller may round the additions 
 to his ceiling price determined under this 
 section to the nearest cent or fraction of 
 a cent in accord with his customary 
 practice. If a seller elects to round one 
 ceiling price he must similarly round all 
 his ceiling prices increased under this 
 section to reflect decreases as well as 
 increases. 
 
 (c) Not included as the basis of in¬ 
 creasing ceiling prices under this section 
 
 are increases in the cost of transporting 
 crude petroleum and increases in the 
 cost of transporting, for further process¬ 
 ing, semifinished materials between 
 units or controlled subsidiaries of the 
 same company. Under this section com¬ 
 pounders, blenders or refiners may in¬ 
 crease the ceiling price of a finished prod¬ 
 uct or for a product which has been fur¬ 
 ther processed, only up to an amount 
 which will reflect the proportionate 
 freight increases of the various compo¬ 
 nents or the proportionate freight in¬ 
 creases for each refined product. 
 
 (d) Nothing in this section shall au¬ 
 thorize a seller to increase his ceiling 
 prices as a result of higher transporta¬ 
 tion costs (including excise taxes there¬ 
 on) caused by a change from the normal 
 
 source of supply or a change to a differ¬ 
 ent method of transportation. 
 
 (e) A seller adjusting his ceiling price 
 under this section shall maintain a rec¬ 
 ord of his adjustment and such records 
 must substantiate that the adjustments 
 relate directly to base period practice. 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50 U. S. C„

 Effective date. This amendment shall 
 become effective January 20, 1953. 
 
 Note: The record-keeping requirements of 
 this amendment have been approved by the 
 Bureau of the Budget in accordance with the 
 Federal Reports Act of 1942.

 CPR 70— Rental of Certain Types of 
 Commercial Motor Vehicles 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 ,(16 F. R. 738), this Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 70 is hereby issued. 
 
 statement of considerations 
 
 This regulation establishes ceiling 
 rates for the lease or rental of passenger 
 automobiles, taxicabs, busses (other than 
 school busses), trucks, truck tractors, 
 commercial trailers, and semitrailers, 
 or any combination thereof. 
 
 The ceiling rates for the lease or rental 
 of commercial motor vehicles were here¬ 
 tofore determined under the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation or Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. To the extent of its ap¬ 
 plicability this regulation supersedes the 
 General Ceiling Price Regulation and 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. The funda¬ 
 mental provisions of the regulations 
 mentioned relating to the determination 
 of ceiling rates have been retained. The 
 general considerations which support 
 these regulations are equally applicable 
 to this regulation. The method of deter¬ 
 mining ceiling rates at the highest rates 
 charged during the "base period,” De¬ 
 cember 19, 1950, to January 25, 1951, 
 inclusive, is incorporated, but that sec¬ 
 tion of the General Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation which provides for determining 
 ceiling rates by reference to the charges 
 of a closest competitor has been elimi¬ 
 nated. It appears that this method of 
 establishing rates is impracticable and 
 unsatisfactory as applied to the leasing 
 or rental of commercial motor vehicles. 
 A substitute provision has been pro¬ 
 vided whereby a lessor may compute and 
 report the proposed ceiling rates on the 
 basis of costs, such rates being subject 
 to review and approval by the Office of 
 Price Stabilization prior to becoming 
 effective. 
 
 Because of the large number of short¬ 
 term leases of commercial motor ve¬ 
 hicles, the provisions of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 permitting adjustment by 
 buyer-seller agreements are not suited 
 to the truck and passenger-car rental 
 industry. Accordingly, the provisions 
 contained in Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 relating to adjustments under buyer- 
 seller agreements, are excluded from this 
 regulation. 
 
 The adjustment provisions of this reg¬ 
 ulation pro/ide a means whereby neces¬ 
 sary rate adjustments for lessors of com- 
 
 WASHINGTON 
 
 mercial motor vehicles affected by this 
 regulation may be made upon a showing 
 that existing ceiling rates result in sub¬ 
 stantial financial hardship; or that the 
 adjustment requested is necessary to 
 permit the continuance of an essential 
 service; and that the requested adjust¬ 
 ment will not result in a higher ratio 
 of net operating revenue to total operat¬ 
 ing revenue than during the base period. 
 
 Motor vehicle rental agreements which 
 include the furnishing of drivers are not 
 covered by this regulation since such ar¬ 
 rangements have generally been con¬ 
 strued to be transportation services 
 rather than equipment rentals services. 
 Provision is made in this regulation, 
 however, to extend the applicability of 
 this regulation to include leases or rent¬ 
 als of “commercial motor vehicles” with 
 drivers, under special circumstances. 
 Authorization to establish ceiling rates 
 covering such services may be granted 
 by the appropriate District Office of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization upon a 
 showing that a rental service with driver 
 should be properly regarded as a rental 
 service rather than as a transportation 
 service. 
 
 This regulation provides for the ex¬ 
 emption from price control of services 
 afforded under “rental-purchase option 
 agreements” having a term of not less 
 than one year which contain an option 
 in favor of the lessee to purchase the 
 vehicle so rented at any time during the 
 term of the lease at a price which is 
 based upon the original cost to the lessor 
 of the vehicle, when new, not in excess 
 of the OPS ceiling price, less a credit to 
 the lessee of a portion of the rental pay¬ 
 ments paid to the lessor by the lessee 
 totaling a sum which, in the case of the 
 purchase of trucks, tractors, trailers, 
 semi-trailers, and busses, other than 
 school busses, will not be less than the 
 depreciation accruing on the vehicle 
 during the period that the lease is in 
 effect computed at 1 percent per each 
 30-day period of the original cost price 
 of the vehicle to the lessor and, in the 
 case of the purchase of passenger auto¬ 
 mobiles and taxicabs, will not be less 
 than the depreciation accruing on the 
 vehicle during the period that the lease 
 is in effect computed at 2 percent per 
 each 30-day period of the original cost 
 price to the lessor for such vehicle. The 
 limitations upon the exemptions made 
 herein are such that adequate safe¬ 
 guards are provided against the transfer 
 of motor vehicle equipment at exorbitant 
 and inflationary prices.

 Section 1. What this regulation does. 
 This regulation removes the leasing or 
 rental of "commercial motor vehicles” 
 from the General Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion and Ceiling Price Regulation 34 and 
 puts them under this regulation. Gen¬ 
 erally this regulation establishes the ceil¬ 
 ing prices for the rental of “commercial 
 motor vehicles” at the levels prevailing 
 during the base period December 19,1950, 
 to January 25, 1951, inclusive. 
 
 Sec. 2. Services covered — (a) General 
 applicability. This regulation covers all 
 leases and rentals, without drivers (ex¬ 
 cept as hereinafter provided), of “com¬ 
 mercial motor vehicles” as defined in 
 section 18 (a) of this regulation. It in¬ 
 cludes rentals known as bare truck ren¬ 
 tals, as well as other types, in connection 
 with which the lessor agrees to furnish 
 some or all of the operating and main¬ 
 tenance service. 
 
 (b> Special applicability. Applicabil¬ 
 ity of this regulation may be extended 
 to include leases or rentals of “commer¬ 
 cial motor vehicles” with drivers, only 
 by authorization from the appropriate 
 District Director of the Office of Price 
 Stabilization. The lessor shall file a 
 written request for such authorization 
 with the appropriate district office of 
 the Office of Price Stabilization showing 
 that the furnishing of the driver is: 
 
 (1) A transaction severable from the 
 rental of the "commercial motor vehicle,” 
 and 
 
 (2) Performed for the accommoda¬ 
 tion of the lessee, and that the lessee has 
 entered into an employer-employee re¬ 
 lationship with the driver and has as¬ 
 sumed full responsibility for the opera¬ 
 tion of the vehicle, and 
 
 <3» Performed by the lessor at no 
 separate profit to himself. 
 
 The respective District Directors are 
 hereby delegated authority to act upon 
 and to handle to final conclusion all re¬ 
 quests filed pursuant to the provisions 
 of this regulation. 
 
81 Trans 39:2 
 
 (c) Exclusions. This regulation does 
 not apply to the following specified serv¬ 
 ices, but such services, other than com¬ 
 mon carrier and public utility services, 
 will nevertheless continue to be subject 
 to such regulations of the Office of Price 
 Stabilization as may otherwise be ap¬ 
 plicable: 
 
 (1) Lease or rental of “commercial 
 motor vehicles" to or by a United States 
 government agency. 
 
 (2) Any service of a common carrier 
 or public utility. 
 
 (3) Lease or rental of “commercial 
 motor vehicles” between carriers. 
 
 (4) Lease or rental of dump trucks 
 used on construction or road mainte¬ 
 nance projects. • 
 
 (5) Lease or rental of ambulances, 
 hearses, school busses, and funeral cars. 
 
 Sec. 3. Relation to other regulations. 
 This regulation supersedes the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation and Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 with respect to all 
 services covered by this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 4. Service furnished during the 
 “base period". Except as provided in 
 section 6 of this regulation, for seasonal 
 services, the ceiling rate for the rental 
 or lease of any “commercial motor ve¬ 
 hicle” is the highest rate charged by the 
 lessor for the “same or similar service" 
 during the "base period”, December. 19, 
 1950, to January 25, 1951, inclusive. 
 
 Sec. 5. Service not furnished during 
 the “base period.” (a) If the service 
 was not actually furnished during the 
 "base period" and is not a seasonal serv¬ 
 ice to which section 6 of this regulation 
 applies, the ceiling rate is the highest 
 rate at which the lessor offered, in writ¬ 
 ing, to provide it during the "base 
 period". 
 
 (b) If the service was neither fur¬ 
 nished or offered in writing during the 
 “base period”, nor a seasonal service 
 covered by section 6 of this regulation, 
 and the ceiling rate has since been 
 established under appropriate provisions 
 of the General Ceiling Price Regulation 
 or Ceiling Price Regulation 34, the ceil¬ 
 ing rate for such service is the ceiling 
 rate thus established. 
 
 (c) If the service was not furnished, 
 or offered in writing, during the "base 
 period”, and if the ceiling rate has not 
 been otherwise established since that 
 time, the lessor shall determine his pro¬ 
 posed ceiling rate in accordance with the 
 following method. A report shall be 
 submitted to the appropriate district 
 office of the Office of Price Stabilization, 
 which report shall set forth in detail: 
 
 (1) A description of the "commercial 
 motor vehicle" to be furnished, 
 
 (2) The proposed ceiling rate, 
 
 (3) A detailed break-down of the esti¬ 
 mated fixed and variable expenses, 
 
 (4) The rate charged for the most 
 comparable service, 
 
 (5) The pricing formula normally 
 used by the lessor in establishing his 
 rates, and 
 
 (6) Any other information which the 
 lessor deems pertinent to justify the pro¬ 
 posed ceiling rate. 
 
 The respective District Directors are 
 hereby delegated authority to act upon 
 and to handle to final conclusion all re¬ 
 
 * 
 
 ports filed pursuant to the provisions of 
 this section. Thirty days after the re¬ 
 port has been received by the appro¬ 
 priate district office of the Office of Price 
 Stabilization, or 30 days after the receipt 
 of such additional information as may 
 be requested, the lessor may charge the 
 proposed ceiling rate unless advised by 
 the Office of Price Stabilization that the 
 proposed rate has been disapproved or 
 modified. 
 
 The service may be furnished during 
 the period pending consideration of the 
 ceiling rate and the rate proposed may 
 be charged for on open billing. How¬ 
 ever, no charge may be collected until 
 the rate has been approved or until the 
 30-day period has expired without ad¬ 
 verse action by the Office of Price 
 Stabilization. 
 
 Sec. 6. Seasonal variations in rates and 
 seasonal services —(a) Commercial mo¬ 
 tor vehicle rentals supplied in the “base 
 period” but subject to seasonal varia¬ 
 tions in rates. If the lessor has had a 
 regularly established seasonal variation 
 in rates and leased or rented “commer¬ 
 cial motor vehicles” during the “base 
 period”, the ceiling rates for other sea¬ 
 sonal periods shall reflect the customary 
 dollar differential between that season 
 and the "base period”. However, the 
 provisions of this paragraph apply only 
 if the season during which the variation 
 in rates was in effect regularly consisted 
 of at least 60 consecutive days. 
 
 (b) Seasonal services not supplied 
 during the “base period". If the lessor 
 supplied a seasonal service during the 
 calendar year 1950 but did not supply 
 that service during the "base period”, 
 the ceiling rate for such service shall 
 be the highest rate charged in the com¬ 
 parable season of 1950. 
 
 Sec. 7. Exemption of certain rental- 
 purchase option agreements. Services 
 offered under a rental-purchase option 
 agreement having a term of not less 
 than 1 year and granting to the lessee 
 an option, which may be exercised at 
 any time during the period of the lease, 
 to purchase the vehicle or vehicles leased 
 under the agreement are hereby speci¬ 
 fically exempted from price control pro¬ 
 vided the purchase price specified in the 
 option does not exceed the original cost 
 to the lessor of the vehicle or vehicles, 
 when new (which cost does not exceed 
 the Office of Price Stabilization ceiling 
 price or prices) less a deduction there¬ 
 from of a sum which (a) in the case of 
 the purchase of trucks, tractors, trailers, 
 semi-trailers, and busses, other than 
 school busses, is not less than the sum 
 of 1 percent of the original cost of each 
 vehicle to the lessor per 30-day period 
 during the entire period from the date 
 of execution of the lease until the date 
 that the purchase option is exercised; 
 or <b) in the case of the purchase of 
 passenger automobiles and taxicabs, is 
 not less than the sum of 2 percent of the 
 original cost of each vehicle to the lessor 
 per 30-day period during the entire pe¬ 
 riod from the date of execution of the 
 lease until the date that the purchase 
 option is exercised. 
 
 Sec. 8. Multiple establishments and 
 transfer of business. —(a) Multiple es¬ 
 
 tablishments. Each “establishment” op¬ 
 erated by a lessor shall be treated 
 separately for the purpose of computing 
 ceiling rates under this regulation. 
 
 (b) Transfer of business. If a person 
 purchases, leases, or otherwise acquires 
 the business, assets, or equipment of a 
 "commercial motor vehicle” lessor, and 
 the purchaser continues in the rental 
 of “commercial motor vehicles” from an 
 “establishment” thus acquired, the ceil¬ 
 ing rates for services furnished from 
 any such “establishment” shall be the 
 same as those of the predecessor. 
 
 Sec. 9. Customary auxiliary services. 
 (a) The lessor shall provide the same 
 auxiliary maintenance and operating 
 services and supplies customarily fur¬ 
 nished in the “base period” for the 
 “same or similar service.” If, in the 
 “base period,” for example, the lessor 
 provided all maintenance, garaging, 
 gasoline, and the like, he may not elim¬ 
 inate any part of those auxiliary serv¬ 
 ices, such as discontinuing the furnish¬ 
 ing of gasoline or other items previously 
 furnished. If he wishes to reduce any 
 auch service, he must apply for a new 
 rate for a new service as provided under 
 section 5 (c) of this regulation. In his 
 application he must show the reason 
 for and the amount of his proposed re¬ 
 duction in service and there must be a 
 reduction in the rate charged concur¬ 
 rent with any reduction in service. 
 
 (b) Upon written request supported 
 by. a satisfactory explanation, the ap¬ 
 propriate District Director of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization may approve a re¬ 
 duction in service where it appears that 
 (1) the reduction in service is caused 
 by conditions beyond the control of the 
 lessor, and (2) such reduction in service 
 does not accrue as a savings to the 
 lessor. However, a lessor, who during 
 the “base period” required a minimum 
 period of rental or mileage or collected 
 a service charge, may continue the same 
 practice or charge. 
 
 Sec. 10. Taxes. Any direct tax upon 
 the rental of “commercial motor ve¬ 
 hicles” covered by this regulation, im¬ 
 posed by any statute of the United 
 States or statute, regulation, or ordi¬ 
 nance of any State or subdivision thereof, 
 may be collected by the lessor in addi¬ 
 tion to the ceiling price established un¬ 
 der this regulation, unless such statute, 
 regulation, or ordinance prohibits the 
 lessor from collecting such tax, and un¬ 
 less such tax if imposed, was absorbed 
 by the lessor during the “base period”. 
 
 Sec. 11. Rate base. The charges for 
 the rental of any “commercial motor 
 vehicle” shall be computed upon the 
 “rate base”, as defined in section 18 (d) 
 of this regulation, most favorable to the 
 lessee. 
 
 Sec. 12. Adjustment of ceiling rates 
 and effectiveness of adjustments, (a) 
 A lessor of “commercial motor vehicles” 
 subject to this regulation may, by in¬ 
 dividual application filed with the appro¬ 
 priate District Director of the Office of 
 Price Stabilization, request adjustment 
 of any of his ceiling rates based upon a 
 showing of: (1) Substantial financial 
 hardship; or (2) that the adjustment re- 
 
) 
 
 quested is necessary to permit the con¬ 
 tinuance of an essential service for 
 which there is no adequate substitute 
 available at a rate equal to or less than 
 the maximum rate requested; and (3) 
 that the rate adjustment requested will 
 not result in a higher ratio of net operat¬ 
 ing revenue to total operating revenue 
 than in the comparable six-month pe¬ 
 riod prior to June 30, 1950. Thirty days 
 after the application has been received 
 by the Office of Price Stabilization dis¬ 
 trict office, or 30 days after receipt of 
 such additional information as may be 
 requested, the lessor may charge the in¬ 
 creased rate unless advised by the Office 
 of Price Stabilization that the applica¬ 
 tion has been denied in whole or in part. 
 The application for rate adjustment may 
 at any time be denied, in whole or in part, 
 and any rate adjustment made here¬ 
 under may be revoked in any case where 
 it' appears to be inconsistent with the 
 purposes of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950 as amended. 
 
 The respective District Directors are 
 
 hereby delegated authority to act upon 
 and to handle to final conclusion all ap¬ 
 plications for rate adjustment filed un¬ 
 der the provisions of this section. 
 
 (b) Effectiveness of adjustments. Any 
 increased rate requested under this reg¬ 
 ulation may be charged on open billing 
 pending consideration of the application. 
 Collection of any amount in excess of 
 ceiling rates under this Section may not 
 be made until an order has been issued 
 (and then only to the extent permitted 
 thereby), or until written notice of ap¬ 
 proval by the Office of Price Stabilization 
 has been received, or until the appro¬ 
 priate 30-day waiting period has ex¬ 
 pired. After such period, a lessor may 
 collect the full adjusted amount retro¬ 
 active to the date on which the appli¬ 
 cation was filed or to the date on which 
 he entered into any adjustable pricing 
 contract under section 2 (a) of Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 15 to the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation, as amended by 
 Amendment 3. 
 
 Sec. 13. Where and how to apply for 
 adjustment. Applications for individual 
 relief under section 12 of this regulation 
 shall be made by properly executing 
 O. P. S. Public Form No. 85, Copies of 
 this form may be obtained from the 
 
 Office of Price Stabilization, Washing¬ 
 ton 25, D. C., or any regional or district 
 office thereof. All such applications shall 
 be filed in duplicate, and shall be sent to 
 the appropriate district office of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization. Applica¬ 
 tions, if mailed, should be sent by reg¬ 
 istered mail, return receipt requested. 
 The date on the return receipt will indi¬ 
 cate the effective date of filing. If the 
 application is delivered in person to the 
 district office, receipt as to the date of 
 filing should be obtained from the docket 
 clerk of such office. 
 
 Sec. 14. Record keeping requirements. 
 Those engaged in the lease or rental of 
 "commercial motor vehicles" and cov¬ 
 ered by this regulation shall preserve, for 
 examination by the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization, for a period of two years, a 
 record of all rentals or leases subject to 
 this regulation, including as to each 
 transaction the names and addresses of 
 lessees, description of "commercial mo¬ 
 tor vehicle” rental charges, revenues 
 actually received, and, where applicable, 
 mileage involved. 
 
 Sec. 15. Compliance provisions —(a) 
 Prohibitions. You shall not do any act 
 prohibited or omit to do any act re¬ 
 quired by this regulation, nor shall you 
 offer, solicit, attempt, or agree to do or 
 omit to do any such acts. You shall not, 
 irrespective of any contract or other 
 obligation, sell, and no person shall buy 
 from you, in the regular course of trade 
 or business, at a price higher than the 
 ceiling prices established by this regula¬ 
 tion, and you shall keep, make and pre¬ 
 serve true and accurate records and re¬ 
 ports, required by this regulation. 
 
 (b) Evasion. No person shall evade 
 this regulation directly or indirectly, 
 whether by payment of charges for com¬ 
 missions or extra services, by decreasing 
 the service, by tie-in agreements or other 
 trade understandings (including but not 
 limited to a requirement by a lessor that 
 a lessee execute a purchase option agree¬ 
 ment in connection with a leasing agree¬ 
 ment, or an understanding between a 
 lessor and a lessee that the latter will 
 not exercise an option to purchase a ve¬ 
 hicle from the former), or by refusing 
 to rent the “commercial motor vehicle” 
 to the lessee for the period for which it 
 is requested in order that a higher “rate 
 
 81 Trans 39:3 
 
 base” may be used in computing the 
 charge; or in any other way. 
 
 If you violate any provisions of this 
 regulation, you are subject to criminal 
 penalties, enforcement action, and action 
 for damages.

 AUO. 15. 1952 
 
 TITLE 32A—NATIONAL DEFENSE, 
 APPENDIX 
 
 Chapter III—Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Economic Stabilization Agepcy 
 
 [Celling Price Regulation 70, Amdt. 1] 
 
 CFR 70—Rental or Certain Types or 
 Commercial Motor Vehicles 
 
 miscellaneous amendments 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), Amendment 1 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 70 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT or CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 70 is intended to conform cer¬ 
 tain provisions of the regulation to prac¬ 
 tices existing in the motor vehicle rental 
 industry. The changes made by the 
 amendment, refer primarily to the pro¬ 
 visions of section 5 Service not furnished 
 during the “hose period”, and to section 
 7 Exemption of certain rental-purchase 
 option agreements, of the regulation. 
 
 The first change in section 5 is con¬ 
 cerned with the 30-day waiting period 
 provided for in the last two paragraphs 
 of that section. Inasmuch as the Office 
 of Price Stabilization has determined 
 that it can complete its action in con¬ 
 nection with reports filed under this sec¬ 
 tion within a shorter period than the 
 30-day period now provided and, as a 
 shorter period would serve the best in¬ 
 terests of the industry by expediting the 
 establishment of ceiling rates in many 
 Instances, this section is amended to pro¬ 
 vide for a 15-day waiting period. 
 
 The second change in section 5 pro¬ 
 vides that rates proposed may be charged 
 pending consideration of them by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization. Since the 
 equipment for which rates are proposed 
 is generally in the possession of the lessor 
 during the time the rates are being con¬ 
 sidered, and since a large percentage of 
 the truck and car rental business is 
 transient, a provision for open billing 
 pending OPS action is not practicable. 
 Therefore, it is the opinion of the Di¬ 
 rector that it will be more equitable to 
 allow the collection of the proposed rates, 
 provided ample safeguards are made for 
 refunding any amounts in excess of the 
 finally approved rates. 
 
 The six changes in section 7 of the 
 regulation are intended to conform its 
 provisions to long-established trade 
 practices in the industry. 
 
 The first of these changes revises the 
 wording of the regulation to provide that 
 an option to purchase may be exercised 
 only after cancellation or termination of 
 the rental agreement. 
 
 Secondly, the method of computing the 
 ceiling price of a vehicle in cases where 
 the lessee exercises his right to purchase 
 has been revised. This change was 
 deemed necessary because, in its present 
 form, the provision creates the possibility 
 
 of vehicles being purchased at prices that 
 may result in lessors finding themselves 
 in the automotive sale business rather 
 than in the rental business. 
 
 The depreciation factor contained in 
 section 7 (a) (2) has been changed from 
 2 percent to 1% percent of the retail 
 ceiling price to conform with long estab¬ 
 lished practice in the industry. 
 
 In addition to the above-described 
 changes, two new paragraphs have been 
 added to section 7. Since the exemption 
 provisions of this section might be used 
 as a guise for evading other regulations 
 of the Office of Price Stabilization, para¬ 
 graph (b) limits the exemption to tract 
 and car rental operators who were doing 
 business as such when Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 70 was originally issued. All other 
 lessors must first receive approval of the 
 Director of Price Stabilization for in¬ 
 clusion within the exemption. Such ap¬ 
 proval will be granted upon a showing 
 that the lessor is doing business as a 
 bona fide truck or car rental operator. 
 Paragraph (c) makes the amended sec¬ 
 tion applicable to rental-purchase op¬ 
 tion agreements executed since the issu¬ 
 ance of Ceiling Price Regulation 70. It 
 further limits the effect of the exempt¬ 
 ing provision to January 1, 1953. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment, 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 The changes effected in Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 70 by this amendment are, in 
 large part, the result of informal sugges¬ 
 tions of the industry affected. While 
 formal Industry Advisory Committee 
 consultation with representatives of the 
 industry was not practicable, it is the 
 opinion of the Director of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation that these changes reflect, gener¬ 
 ally,. the views of the industry. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation, the provisions of this amendment 
 are generally fair and equitable and are 
 necessary to effectuate the purposes of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 70 is amenaed 
 in the following respects: 
 
 1. The last two paragraphs of section 5 
 are amended to read as follows: 
 
 The respective District Directors are 
 hereby delegated authority to act upon 
 and to handle to final conclusion all re¬ 
 ports filed pursuant to the provisions of 
 this section. Fifteen days after the re¬ 
 port has been received by the appropriate 
 District Office of the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization, or 15 days after the receipt of 
 such additional information as may be 
 requested, the proposed ceiling rate shall 
 be deemed approved unless the lessor is 
 advised by the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion that the proposed rate has been dis¬ 
 approved or modified. 
 
 Upon receipt of the report by the ap¬ 
 propriate District Office the service may 
 
 be furnished and the proposed rate may 
 be charged, provided the lessor main¬ 
 tains complete records of all persons us¬ 
 ing the service, and all rental agreements 
 expressly provide that any amount col¬ 
 lected in excess of the rate approved by 
 the Office of Price Stabilization will be 
 refunded to the lessees. 
 
 2. Section 7 is amended to read as 
 follows: 
 
 Sec. 7. Exemption of certain rental r 
 purchase option agreements, (a) Serv¬ 
 ices offered under a rental-purchase op- 
 ion agreement, having a term of not less 
 than i year and granting to the lessee 
 upon its termination or cancellation after 
 1 year an option to purchase the vehicle 
 or vehicles covered by the agreement, are 
 exempt from the other provisions of this 
 regulation, provided the purchase price 
 specified in the option agreement does 
 not exceed (1) in the case of trucks, trac¬ 
 tors, trailers, semi-trailers and busses, 
 other than school busses, the Office of 
 Price Stabilization retail ceiling price for 
 the same type of vehicle at the time the 
 lease was executed plus make-ready costs 
 minus a deduction of 1 percent of the 
 total of such ceiling price and make- 
 ready costs for each 30-day period from 
 the date of execution of the lease until 
 the date the purchase option is exercised; 
 or (2) in the case of passenger automo¬ 
 biles and taxicabs, the OPS retail ceiling 
 price for the same type of vehicle at the 
 time the lease was executed plus make- 
 ready costs minus a deduction of 1 % per¬ 
 cent of the total of the retail ceiling price 
 and make-ready costs for each 30-day 
 period from the date of execution of the 
 lease until the date the purchase option 
 is exercised, and the rental rate under 
 such rental-purchase option agreement 
 does not exceed the lessor’s transient ceil¬ 
 ing rate for such vehicle or vehicles. 
 
 (b) The exemption contained in this 
 section applies only to (1) lessors who 
 were in the business of renting vehicles 
 on or before September 12, 1951; or (2) 
 lessors to whom this exemption is ex¬ 
 tended by specific authorization of the 
 Director of Price Stabilization. Requests 
 for such authorization shall be made in 
 writing to the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Services, Transportation and For¬ 
 eign Trade Division, Washington 25, 
 D. C., and shall contain a detailed justi¬ 
 fication for such authorization. 
 
 (c) The provisions of this section shall 
 apply to rental-purchase option agree¬ 
 ments executed since September 12,1951,, 
 but its provisions shall expire on January 
 1, 1953, unless extended by a subsequent 
 amendment to this regulation. 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 60 U. S. C. 
 App. Sup. 2164) 
 
 Effective date. This Amendment 1 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 70 shall become 
 effective August 20, 1952.

 SECTION 7 (C) 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this amend¬ 
 ment to Ceiling Price Regulation 70 is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Section 7 of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 70, as amended, provides for the exemp¬ 
 tion from other provisions of the regula¬ 
 tion of certain types of rental-purchase 
 option agreements entered into in con¬ 
 
 nection with the lease or rental of cer¬ 
 tain types of commercial motor vehicles. 
 Paragraph (c) of section 7 provides, 
 among other things, that the provisions 
 of that section shall expire on January 1, 
 1953, unless extended by a subsequent 
 amendment to the regulation. That ex¬ 
 piration date was contained in the regu¬ 
 lation because it was felt that the ex¬ 
 emption provisions of Section 7 might 
 be used as a guise for evading other regu¬ 
 lations of the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion. Experience has shown, however, 
 that these fears were unwarranted, and 
 there appears to be no reason why the 
 exemption provisions of section 7 should 
 not continue indefinitely. Accordingly, 
 this amendment deletes the automatic 
 expiration date. 
 
 In view of the nature of tfris amend¬ 
 ment special circumstances have ren¬ 
 dered consultation with industry repre¬ 
 sentatives impracticable. In the judg¬ 
 ment of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, the provisions of this amendment 
 
 are generally fair and equitable and will 
 effectuate the purposes of the Defense 
 Production Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Paragraph (c) of section 7 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 70, as amended, is 
 hereby amended by deleting the follow¬ 
 ing, “but its provisions shall expire on

 INSTRUCTIONS 
 
 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: This form must be submitted to obtain authority to increase the ceiling rate estab¬ 
 lished under Ceiling Price Regulation 70 for the lease or rental of motor vehicles without drivers. 
 
 Part A of this form need be filled out only once for each application since it covers the whole of the application. 
 
 Part B must be filled out separately for each type of vehicle for which a rate increase is requested. For example, if you 
 wish to apply for an adjustment of rates applicable to Vi ton pick-ups, 1 Vi ton vans and 1 Vi ton stake-bodies, you must fi e 
 three separate Parte B. However, one Part B may be filed for any number of vehicles, providing the vehicles are allot the 
 same type and are all leased or rented at the same rate. Part C must be filled out only if you furnish drivers but believe that 
 you are nevertheless subject to CPR 70 (see Sec. 2 (2) (b) ). Any additional information that would facilitate the processing 
 of your application should be attached. 
 
 Item 1: Indicate whether the proposed rates cover all or only a part of your operations. If only a part of your op¬ 
 eration is covered, state which parts are covered and which are not and give some indication of the relative importance oi 
 
 each. 
 
81 Trans 39:9904 
 
 PAGE 3 OF PF-85 - CONTINUED 
 
 lt*m 2: Fill in the revenue and expense items requested for the current and pre-Korean periods. 
 
 The “Current Period” is the period of six calendar months most closely preceding the application. 
 
 The “pre-Korean period” is the corresponding six months during the period January 1949 through 
 June 1950. 
 
 Example: If “current period” is March 1951 through August 1951 the “pre-Korean period” is March 
 1949 through August 1949. 
 
 If the “current period” is January 1951 through June 1951, the “pre-Korean period” is January 1950 
 through June 1950. 
 
 If your accounts are not kept in a form that makes possible the use of the break-down of expenses specified, present 
 revenue and expense data in the most comparable form possible. 
 
 If the vehicle rental service is only a part of your business, the cost data should relate only to the vehicle rental 
 
 E ortion of your business. If specific cost allocations are not maintained for that portion of the business, the cost should 
 e allocated. This allocation should be made in the same manner for each of the periods reported; an explanation of the 
 method of allocation should be attached to the application. 
 
 Item 3: Fill out Item 3 completely and sign. 
 
 Item 4a: Describe the vehicle and the service performed. For example, l l A ton International Model K-5, 159 inch 
 wheel base, equipped with a 12 foot van body, transient rental. (Attach separate sheet if necessary). 
 
 Item 4b: The maintenance and operating supplies and services furnished at the ceiling rate and the proposed rate 
 should be enumerated. For example, if during the base period the applicant furnished all maintenance and all operating 
 supplies necessary to operate the vehicle so state; and state whether these services and supplies will also be furnished 
 under the proposed rates. Any change in service must be explained fully. (Attach separate sheet if necessary). 
 
 It*m 5: Applicant must state clearly the legal ceiling rates and the proposed rates. Show your present ceiling 
 rate per hour, per day, per week, or per month and your proposed rate on the same basis. If any of the blanks provided do 
 not apply to your rate structure, insert “NA”. Fill in all blanks which do apply to your rate structure and wherever you do 
 not propose an increase indicate the same rate for both “present* and “proposed” rates. 
 
 NOTE: If your rate is not based on a combined charge per vehicle per hour (or day, or week, or month) plus a charge 
 per mile, or on aflat charge per day, or week, or month, or on a flat charge per mile, attach separate sheet, showing 
 your present and proposed rates. 
 
 Item 6: Determine the number of hours, days, weeks and/or months that the vehicle type in question was rented out 
 for revenue and the revenue miles driven by that type during the “current period”. Multiply by the appropriate proposed rates 
 to determine what your revenues would have been if the proposed rates had been in effect during the “current period”. Sub¬ 
 tract from this figure the actual revenue earned by this type of vehicle in the current period. 
 
 Item 7: Fill out Item 7 only if you furnish drivers with your vehicles. 
 
 TIME AND PLACE OF FILING 
 
 Two copies of this application properly filled in and signed by the applicant must be filed with the appropriate Dis¬ 
 trict Off i ce.

 Exemption of Certain General Overriding Regulation 12

 GOR-12— Exemption of Certain Fuel 
 Products 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended (Public Law 
 774, 81st Cong.), Executive Order 10161 
 (F. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738 >, this General Overriding Regulation 
 12, Revision 1, is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 The President of the United States has 
 announced that he does not intend to 
 ask for a renewal of price control au¬ 
 thority on April 30. 1953, when the pres¬ 
 ent legislation expires. He has stated 
 that in the meantime steps will be taken 
 to eliminate controls in an orderly man¬ 
 ner. The Office of Price Stabilization 
 has been instructed to proceed accord¬ 
 ingly. 
 
 This revision of GOR-12 is one of the 
 actions by which OPS is carrying out 
 that instruction. 
 
 GOR-12 was issued to provide a single 
 listing of certain fuels and related com¬ 
 modities as to which changing condi¬ 
 tions justified removal of price ceilings. 
 A similar general regulation has been is¬ 
 sued for each of the major commodity 
 areas. Since these regulations are gen¬ 
 erally familiar to these sellers affected, 
 the actions removing controls will utilize 
 the convenient pattern already thus pro¬ 
 vided, and will be in the form of amend¬ 
 ments adding additional groups of iteriis 
 which are to be exempted from price 
 control. In this instance, because of 
 several changes which are being made 
 in the body of the regulation aimed at 
 simplification and standardization in re¬ 
 lation to other general overriding regula¬ 
 
 tions, the action takes the form of a revi¬ 
 sion of GOR-12. 
 
 This revised GOR 12 exempts from 
 price control the following additional 
 fuel products: All sales heretofore sub¬ 
 ject to CPR 13 (retail sales of petroleum 
 products), all sales heretofore subject to 
 CPR 17 except Number 2 heating oil 
 (gasolines, naphthas, fuel oils and lique¬ 
 fied petroleum gases, natural gas, pe¬ 
 troleum gas, casinghead gas and refinery 
 gas), all sales subject to CPR 32 (crude 
 oil), all sales heretofore subject to CPR 
 63 (lubricating oil, greases, waxes, and 
 certain other petroleum products), and 
 all sales heretofore subject to CPR 66 
 (asphalt and asphalt products). 
 
 This revised regulation also expressly 
 continues the requirements heretofore in 
 effect under the applicable ceiling price 
 regulations respecting preservation of 
 records as to past transactions. 
 
 In view of the special nature and basis 
 of this revised regulation, consultation 
 with industry representatives was im¬ 
 practicable and unnecessary.

 EXEMPTION OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS IN THE

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 1 to General Overriding 
 Regulation 12, Revision 1, is hereby is¬ 
 sued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 By Revision 1, of-General Overriding 
 Regulation 12, the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization, pursuant to the President’s 
 program for the orderly removal of price 
 controls, provided for the exemption of 
 certain petroleum products from price 
 control. 
 
 In the revision of General Overriding 
 Regulation 12 exempting petroleum 
 products, the exemption of sales in the 
 territories and possessions was not cov¬ 
 ered. This amendment is issued to pro¬ 
 vide that petroleum products exempted 
 from price control by this General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation are also exempted in 
 the territories and possessions, except 
 for sales in Puerto Rico of the petroleum 
 products listed in Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 13 and Ceiling Price Regulation 17. 
 
 In view of the nature of this action 
 consultation with industry representa¬ 
 tives including trade association repre¬ 
 
 sentatives has not been deemed prac¬ 
 ticable or necessary. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 4 of General Overriding Reg¬ 
 ulation 12, Revision 1, is amended by 
 adding a new paragraph (f) to read as 
 follows: 
 
 (f) Petroleum products exempted by 
 this general overriding regulation are 
 also exempted in the territories and pos¬ 
 sessions, except for sales in Puerto Rico 
 of the petroleum products listed in Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 13 and Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 17. 
 
 Effective date. This amendment to 
 Revision 1, of General Overriding Regu¬ 
 lation 12, shall become effective Febru¬ 
 ary 13, 1953.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this amend¬ 
 ment to General Overriding Regulation 
 12, Revision 1, is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment exempts from price 
 control all solid fuels and related com¬ 
 modities and services not previously ex¬ 
 empted. The nature and basis for this 
 amendment is the same as that for GOR 
 12, Revision 1, issued February 12, 1953, 
 and the statement of considerations ac¬ 
 companying the latter regulation is 
 equally applicable to this amendment. 
 In accordance with the provisions of 
 GOR 12, Revision 1, any record relating 
 
 to a commodity exempted from price 
 control which you were required to have 
 immediately prior to such exemption 
 shall continue to be preserved, and made 
 available for examination by the Office 
 of Price Stabilization or any other au¬ 
 thorized agency of the United States, in 
 the manner and for the period stipulated 
 in the regulation requiring you to have 
 such record. 
 
 In view of the special nature and basis 
 of this amendment, consultation with 
 industry representatives was imprac¬ 
 ticable and unnecessary.

 ARTICLE I—SCOPE OF REGULATION 
 
 Section 1. What this regulation does. 
 This regulation provides a formula 
 whereby importers, wholesalers, and re¬ 
 tailers of imported commodities shall 
 compute their ceiling prices for sales 
 thereof on the basis of prices in effect 
 during a base period extending from 
 July 1, 1949, to June 30, 1950, inclusive. 
 All of the provisions of the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation, except section 
 14, heretofore applicable to importers 
 and to the sale of imported commodities 
 are superseded hereby except with re¬ 
 spect to the sale of the commodities 
 listed in Appendix A. Sales of the com¬ 
 modities listed in Appendix A shall con¬ 
 tinue to be governed by the provisions 
 of the General Ceiling Price Regulation 
 unless or until otherwise covered by 
 specific ceiling price regulations. With 
 respect to the sale by other than im¬ 
 porters of imported commodities at 
 wholesale and retail levels. Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 7 shall govern the pricing at 
 the retail level of all imported non-food 
 commodities specifically covered thereby, 
 and Ceiling Price Regulations 14,15, and 
 16 shall govern the pricing at the whole¬ 
 sale and retail level of all imported food 
 commodities specifically covered thereby. 
 Any imported commodity which does not 
 specifically fall within the coverage of 
 Ceiling Price Regulations 7, 14, 15, and 
 16 shall be priced for wholesale or retail 
 sale under sections 4 and 5 of this regu¬ 
 lation, respectively. 
 
 Sec. 2. Applicability and prohibi¬ 
 tions —(a) Applicability. This regula¬ 
 tion is applicable to the continental 
 United States. 
 
 (b) Prohibitions. On and after the 
 effective date of this regulation, regard¬ 
 less of any contract or other obligation, 
 excepting as set forth in section 14 (c) 
 of this regulation, (1) you shall not sell 
 or deliver any imported commodities 
 covered by this regulation at prices 
 higher than the ceiling prices fixed by 
 this regulation; (2) you shall not buy 
 or receive in the course of trade or busi¬ 
 ness any imported commodities covered 
 by this regulation at prices higher than 
 the ceiling prices fixed by this regula¬ 
 tion; and (3) you shall not agree, offer, 
 
 solicit, or attempt to do anything pro¬ 
 hibited in this regulation. 
 
 Prices lower than the ceiling prices 
 may be charged, demanded, paid, or of¬ 
 fered. 
 
 ARTICLE n— PRICING METHOD 
 
 Sec. 3. Formula lor sales by importers. 
 (a) If you are an importer, your ceiling 
 price for the sale of any commodity cov¬ 
 ered by this regulation to any class of 
 buyer (except retail customers) shall be 
 the landed cost of the commodity, plus a 
 dollar and cents markup based on sales 
 by you of such commodity to that class 
 of buyer during the base period, as cal¬ 
 culated under section 6 of this regula¬ 
 tion. If you made no sales of the com¬ 
 modity during the base period to buyers 
 of that class, your markup shall be cal¬ 
 culated under section 6 of this regulation 
 but by reference to other sales as pro¬ 
 vided for in section 7 of this regulation. 
 
 (b) Where the commodity you are 
 pricing is owned by you but has not ar¬ 
 rived in the United States, you may esti¬ 
 mate your landed cost of the commodity. 
 Such estimated landed cost shall reflect 
 your purchase contract cost and the 
 costs of importation reasonably to be 
 anticipated and not already included in 
 the purchase contract cost. In the event 
 such estimated costs exceed your actual 
 costs, as finally determined, you shall 
 either remit or credit the difference to- 
 your purchaser. 
 
 (c) You may not receive a commission 
 from a foreign seller higher than that 
 which you received during the base pe¬ 
 riod, nor may you receive both a com¬ 
 mission from a foreign seller and a 
 markup on the same transaction, with¬ 
 out prior application to and approval 
 thereof by the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Exports-Imports Branch, Wash¬ 
 ington 25, D. C. In your application you 
 must set forth in detail all of the facts 
 relating to, as well as the historical back¬ 
 ground for, such a request. 
 
 Sec. 4. Formula for sales by whole¬ 
 salers. If you are a wholesaler of im¬ 
 ported commodities which you sell in 
 essentially the same form in which im¬ 
 ported, your ceiling price for the sale 
 of any such commodity covered by this 
 regulation, except food commodities 
 specifically covered by name or category 
 by Ceiling Price Regulation 14, to any 
 class of buyer shall be your cost of ac¬ 
 quisition plus a base period dollar and 
 cents markup based on sales by you of 
 such commodity to that class of buyer 
 dining the base period, as calculated 
 under section 6 of this regulation. If 
 you made no sales of the commodity dur¬ 
 ing the base period to buyers of that 
 class, your markup shall be calculated 
 under section 6 of this regulation but by 
 reference to other sales as provided for 
 in section 7 of this regulation. 
 
85 Serv 31:2C2 
 
 Sec. 5. Retailers—(a) Importing re¬ 
 tailer. If you are an importer who sells 
 at retail the commodities imported by 
 you in essentially the same form in which 
 Imported, your ceiling price for any sale 
 to retail customers shall be the landed 
 cost of the commodity plus a base period 
 percentage markup determined as fol¬ 
 lows: 
 
 (1) Choose one of the following bases 
 for computing your markup: 
 
 (1) A commodity by commodity basis 
 e. g., a specific doll; 
 
 (ii) A category by category basis, e. g., 
 all toys; 
 
 (iii) A country of origin basis, e. g., 
 imports from the United Kingdom, 
 Switzerland, etc.; 
 
 (iv) A storewide, departmental or 
 smaller selling unit basis, e. g., a mark¬ 
 up for the furniture sales department; 
 
 You may elect a different basis for com¬ 
 puting a markup for each department or 
 other selling unit. Once you have elect¬ 
 ed one of the bases of this subparagraph 
 for a department or other selling unit, 
 you must use that basis in determining 
 the markup for all imported commodi¬ 
 ties you price under this section which 
 that selling unit offered or would have 
 offered for sale during the base period. 
 
 (2) You shall next choose from the 
 base period a representative quarter for 
 your import business for the purpose of 
 calculating your markups. However, if, 
 during this representative quarter, you 
 received no invoices and made no initial 
 offerings of the commodity for which a 
 markup is being determined, you shall 
 refer to your invoices and initial offer¬ 
 ings for that commodity in a quarter 
 within the base period nearest in time 
 to the representative quarter. 
 
 (3) Determine your percentage mark¬ 
 up by reference to those records avail¬ 
 able to you from the quarter chosen by 
 you which show all your landed costs and 
 initial offering prices. This percentage 
 markup shall be the markup computed 
 on one of the four bases referred to in 
 subparagraph (1) of this paragraph. 
 
 For example, if you elect a commodity 
 by commodity basis for the men’s and 
 boys’ shoe department, the markup on 
 each commodity offered for sale by that 
 department must be computed separate¬ 
 ly. If, however, you elect a category by 
 category basis for the men’s and boys’ 
 shoe department, and if you divide that 
 department into two categories—e. g., 
 the category of men’s shoes and the cate¬ 
 gory of boys’ shoes—then, in determining 
 the markup of the commodities included 
 in each category, you must refer to the 
 invoices of all the comodities in that 
 category. Each commodity in the same 
 category will have the same markup. If 
 you elect a country of origin basis for a 
 particular department, then all imported 
 commodities in the department must be 
 grouped according to their country of 
 origin. The markup will then be deter¬ 
 mined for each country of origin group¬ 
 ing so that all commodities from the 
 same country that are offered for sale by 
 that department will have the same 
 markup. If you elect a storewide, de¬ 
 partmental or smaller selling unit basis, 
 then, in determining the markup of the 
 commodities offered for sale by that unit 
 
 during the base period, you must refer 
 to the purchase invoices of all those 
 commodities. Each commodity will have 
 the same markup. 
 
 All new commodities—that is, com¬ 
 modities that were not offered for sale 
 during the base period—will have their 
 markup determined in the following 
 manner: Ascertain the department of 
 selling unit which, in the base period 
 would probably have been designated as 
 the unit for selling that commodity. If 
 that selling unit uses a commodity by 
 commodity basis, then the new com¬ 
 modity must determine its markup un¬ 
 der section 7 of this regulation. If that 
 selling unit uses a category by category 
 basis or a country of origin basis, then 
 the new commodity must use the markup 
 of that category or country of origin to 
 which it belongs. If that selling unit 
 uses the fourth basis, the selling unit 
 basis, then the new commodity must use 
 the markup of that selling unit to which 
 it belongs. 
 
 To compute your percentage markup 
 you shall: 
 
 (i) Total your landed costs as shown 
 on your invoices; 
 
 (ii) Total your dollars and cents mark¬ 
 ups as calculated from the initial offer¬ 
 ing prices as shown on your invoices; 
 
 (iii) Divide your total dollars and cents 
 markups by your total landed costs. 
 
 (4) You shall report all the base pe¬ 
 riod percentage markups for imported 
 commodities calculated by you under 
 subparagraphs (1), (2) and (3) of this 
 paragraph, not later than October 1, 
 1951. You shall furnish the Office of 
 Price Stabilization District Office in your 
 area by registered letter with the follow¬ 
 ing information: 
 
 (i) The commodity or commodities you 
 are pricing; 
 
 (ii) The department or selling unit 
 selling the commodity or commodities 
 during the base period; 
 
 (iii) Your basis elected under subpar¬ 
 agraph (1) of this paragraph and de¬ 
 scribed by you; 
 
 (iv) Your representative quarter elect¬ 
 ed under subparagraph (2) of this para¬ 
 graph; 
 
 (v) The percentage markup per unit 
 you have calculated under this regula¬ 
 tion. 
 
 (5) For commodities not reported by 
 you under subparagraph (4) of this 
 paragraph and priced after October 1, 
 1951, you shall determine a percentage 
 markup as provided in subparagraphs 
 (1), (2), (3) of this paragraph, and re¬ 
 port your percentage markup for each 
 such commodity at the end of the calen¬ 
 dar quarter during which it was first 
 priced or offered for sale. You shall fur¬ 
 nish the Office of Price Stabilization Dis¬ 
 trict Office in your area by registered 
 letter with the following information: 
 
 (i) The commodity or commodities you 
 are pricing; 
 
 (ii) The department or selling unit 
 selling the commodity or commodities 
 during the base period; 
 
 (iii) Your basis elected under subpar¬ 
 agraph (1) of this paragraph, and de¬ 
 scribed by you; 
 
 (iv) Your representative quarter elect¬ 
 ed under subparagraph (2) of this para¬ 
 graph ; 
 
 (v) The percentage markup per unit 
 you have calculated under this regula¬ 
 tion. 
 
 (6) If you are unable to determine a 
 markup for such a commodity under sub- 
 paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) of this par¬ 
 agraph, you shall determine your ceiling 
 price and markup under the provisions 
 of section 7 of this regulation. 
 
 (b) Non-importing retailer. (1) If 
 you are a retailer (but not the importer) 
 of imported commodities which you sell 
 in essentially the same form in which 
 imported, your ceiling price for any such 
 commodity, except imported non-food 
 commodities specifically covered by 
 name or category by Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 7, and except imported food com¬ 
 modities specifically covered by name or 
 category by Ceiling Price Regulations 
 15 and 16, shall be your cost of acquisi¬ 
 tion plus a percentage markup calcu¬ 
 lated and reported in accordance with 
 the provisions of paragraph (a) of this 
 section. Use your cost of acquisition 
 wherever “landed costs’’ is referred to in 
 paragraph (a) of this section. 
 
 (2) If you have no records from the 
 base period enabling you to price under 
 the above provisions, you may either use 
 your store markup or your departmental 
 or other selling unit markup applicable 
 to the imported commodity, reporting 
 this markup pursuant to the provisions 
 of paragraph (a) (4) of this section, or 
 you may determine your ceiling price 
 and markup for that commodity under 
 the provisions of section 7 of this 
 regulation. 
 
 (c) Imported commodities in inven¬ 
 tory at the effective date. In determin¬ 
 ing your landed costs or cost of acquisi¬ 
 tion for your imported commodities in 
 inventory on the effective date of this 
 regulation, you shall take the invoice 
 cost on the last invoice you received be¬ 
 fore January 26, 1951 for the particular 
 commodity being priced. If you had no 
 invoices for the commodity before Janu¬ 
 ary 26, 1951, you shall take the invoice 
 cost from the first invoice received by 
 you thereafter. 
 
 [Sec. 5 amended by Arndts. 1, 3 and 7| 
 
 Sec. 6. Calculation of base period dol¬ 
 lar and cents import markup, (a) If 
 you are an importer, wholesaler or a 
 processor of imported commodities, un¬ 
 less you are a wholesaler pricing an im¬ 
 ported food commodity under Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 14, your base period 
 dollar and cents markup for a commod¬ 
 ity shall be calculated under this regu¬ 
 lation as follows: 
 
 (1) You ascertain from your records 
 all of your base period sales of the type 
 upon which your base period markup is 
 to be calculated, i. e., either base period 
 sales of the commodity you are pricing 
 to the class of buyer for which you are 
 pricing, or base period sales of a kind 
 you are permitted to use under the pro¬ 
 visions of section 7 of this regulation. 
 
 (2) You then determine the total dol¬ 
 lar sales value of all such base period 
 sales. 
 
 (3) You then select, from such base 
 period sales, any sale or sales which rep- 
 
85 Serv 31:2C3 
 
 resent at least ten percent of the total 
 dollar sales value of all such base period 
 sales and calculate the weighted average 
 dollars and cents markup per unit over 
 landed cost of the commodity, if you are 
 an importer, or over your cost of acqui¬ 
 sition, if you are a wholesaler or a proc¬ 
 essor, yielded by those selected sales. 
 Such weighted average may be deter¬ 
 mined, as illustrated in the example be¬ 
 low, by computing the total dollar and 
 cents markup for those selected sales 
 (total sales price minus total of landed 
 costs for an importer, or total costs of 
 acquisition, for a wholesaler or proces¬ 
 sor) and dividing that total markup by 
 the total number of units. The result 
 is your weighted average dollar and cents 
 markup per unit for sales of the com¬ 
 modity you are pricing to the class of 
 buyer involved. (If you selected a single 
 sale, which accounts for ten percent of 
 your total dollar sales value of such base 
 period sales, you may use the dollar and 
 cents markup yielded by that single 
 sale.

 sales upon which you are calculating your 
 markup under the provisions of this section

 (11) You may select sales #1 and #2 In 
 order to determine the markup. You may 
 not select either sale #1 or sale #2 alone, 
 since neither sale alone accounts for ten 
 percent of the total dollar sales value of base 
 period sales. Taking the weighted average 
 of the dollar and cents markups yielded by 
 the two sales, you obtain a unit markup 
 of $.000346 ($24.75+$36.00-4-2,600 + 4,000= 
 
 $.009346). 
 
 (b) In every case where you calculate 
 for the first time the dollar and cents 
 markup per unit you are going to use or 
 do use in determining the ceiling price 
 of an imported commodity, you shall fur¬ 
 nish the Office of Price Stabilization Dis¬ 
 trict Office in your area by registered 
 letter the following information in du¬ 
 plicate : 
 
 (1) The commodity. 
 
 (2) The class of buyer. 
 
 (3) The dollar and cents markup per 
 unit you are permitted to use under this 
 regulation. 
 
 List of markups for commodities in in¬ 
 ventory as of May 9, 1951, shall be re¬ 
 ported on or before July 15, 1951. Lists 
 of markups for commodities contracted 
 for as of May 9, 1951, shall be reported 
 on or before July 15, 1951. Lists of 
 markups for commodities neither in In¬ 
 ventory nor contracted for as of May 9, 
 1951, shall be reported within fifteen days 
 after receipt of the commodity. 
 
 (Paragraph (b) amended by Amdte. 1, 3 
 and 11) 
 
 Sec. 7. Sellers who cannot price under 
 other sections, (a) If you are unable to 
 compute your markup and ceiling price 
 under any of the other sections of this 
 regulation, then your markup and ceil¬ 
 ing price shall be the landed cost or cost 
 of acquisition, as the case may be, plus 
 a base period markup as calculated 
 under section 5 or section 6 of this regu¬ 
 lation, whichever is applicable, based on 
 sales, if you are an importer or whole¬ 
 saler, or initial offerings, if you are a 
 retailer, during the base period of the 
 type set forth below in the following 
 order of preference: 
 
 (1) Sales of the commodity you are 
 pricing to buyers of the next most close¬ 
 ly related class; 
 
 (2) Sales, if you are an importer or 
 wholesaler, or initial offerings if you are 
 a retailer, of a comparison commodity 
 to buyers of the class for which you are 
 pricing; 
 
 (3) Sales of a comparison commodity 
 to buyers of the next most closely re¬ 
 lated class. 
 
 If you calculate your base period mark¬ 
 up and ceiling price by reference to one 
 of the types of base period sales or offer¬ 
 ings set forth above, you shall, before 
 making sales of the commodity you are 
 pricing, advise the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization, Export-Import Branch, Wash¬ 
 ington 25, D. C., by registered letter, 
 what markup and ceiling price you pro¬ 
 pose to use, showing how they were com¬ 
 puted and describing the “comparison 
 commodity” and/or "class of buyer” 
 used. Unless this proposed markup and 
 ceiling price are rejected by the Office of 
 Price Stabilization within ten days of the 
 postmarked date of your letter, you may 
 proceed with sales until advised to the 
 contrary. 
 
 (b) If you are unable to compute a 
 markup and ceiling price for the com¬ 
 modity you are pricing, under paragraph 
 (a) of this section, or under any pro¬ 
 visions of this regulation, you may apply 
 in writing to the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization, Export-Import Branch, Wash¬ 
 ington 25, D. C., for the establishment 
 of a markup and ceiling price. Your 
 application shall contain: (1) An ex¬ 
 planation of why you are unable to 
 compute a markup and ceiling price 
 under this regulation; (2) a complete 
 description of the commodity; (3) the 
 nature of your business; (4) your landed 
 costs or cost of acquisition broken down 
 into the elements thereof; (5) your pro¬ 
 posed markup, indicating how it was 
 computed; (6) your proposed ceiling 
 price, indicating how it was computed; 
 (7) a reasonable markup and ceiling 
 price, if any exists currently, and can 
 be ascertained, in the trade for the com¬ 
 modity or for a comparison commodity. 
 If your proposed markup and ceiling 
 price are not rejected by the Office of 
 Price Stabilization within ten days of 
 the postmarked date of your letter, you 
 may proceed with sales until advised to 
 the contrary. 
 
 (c) Once you have determined under 
 the provisions of this section a markup 
 which has not been disapproved by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, you may 
 continue to use that markup for future 
 
 sales of the same commodity to the same 
 class of buyer. 
 
 (Sec. 7 amended by Arndts. 6 and 7] 
 
 Sec. 8. Processing. If you are an im¬ 
 porter and also process (as defined in 
 section 18 of this regulation) commodi¬ 
 ties you import, you may, in determining 
 your ceiling price, add the actual costs 
 of processing to your landed costs. If 
 you process imported commodities pur¬ 
 chased from an importer, you may, in 
 determining your ceiling price, add the 
 actual costs of processing to your cost 
 of acquisition: Provided, That if your 
 markup as calculated under section 6 of 
 this regulation included the costs of 
 processing, you may add only those costs 
 of processing which were in excess of the 
 cost of processing during the base period. 
 
 Sec. 9. Sale of imported commodities 
 in a related range or line, (a) If you are 
 a seller of imported commodities in a 
 related range or line, you may maintain 
 your customary price differentials on 
 those imported commodities, provided 
 that their total sales value does not ex¬ 
 ceed that which would otherwise be their 
 total sales value if you sold the items in 
 the range or line separately at their re¬ 
 spective ceiling prices. 
 
 (b) Where you have an inventory or 
 purchase commitment of a commodity 
 at a different ceiling price than the ceil¬ 
 ing price of the same commodity re¬ 
 ceived in a different shipment, you may 
 use a uniform selling price (for that 
 commodity), provided that in such case 
 you shall compute a ceiling price for the 
 entire inventory and purchase commit¬ 
 ments by using properly weighted aver¬ 
 age costs of your inventory and purchase 
 commitments, and provided that the 
 total sales value shall not exceed that 
 which would otherwise be the total sales 
 value at ceiling prices for each item in 
 such ilot if sold separately. 
 
 ARTICLE in-GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 
 Sec. 10. Taxes. In addition to your 
 ceiling price, you may collect tne amount 
 of any excise, sales, or similar taxes paid 
 by you only if, during the base period, 
 you stated and collected such taxes sep¬ 
 arately from your selling price. In the 
 case of such a tax imposed by law which 
 is not effective until after June 30, 1950, 
 you may collect the amount of the tax 
 actually paid by you, in addition to your 
 ceiling price, if not prohibited by the tax 
 law. You must in all such cases state 
 separately the amount of the tax. 
 
 Sec. 11. Restrictions on multiple han¬ 
 dling. For the purposes of this Ceiling 
 Price Regulation, markups shall be al¬ 
 lowed only when the following sequences 
 of distribution are followed. These are 
 (a) sales by importers to industrial 
 users, to processors, to wholesalers, or 
 to retailers; (b) sales by wholesalers to 
 industrial users, or to retailers; (c) sales 
 by processors to wholesalers, to retailers 
 or to consumers; (d) sales by retailers 
 to consumers. If you are a wholesaler 
 who buys commodities from another 
 wholesaler, no markup may be added 
 unless specifically authorized by order of 
 the Office of Price Stabilization. Such 
 authorization may be granted upon ap¬ 
 plication to the Office of Price Stabiliza-

 lished that the second wholesaler per¬ 
 forms a recognized distributive function

 Sbc. 12. Transfer of business or stock 
 in trade. If the business, assets or stock 
 in trade of any business were sold or 
 otherwise transferred since July 1, 1949, 
 or are sold or transferred after the 
 effective date of this regulation, and the 
 transferee carries on the business, or 
 continues to deal in the same type of 
 commodities, the maximum prices of the 
 transferee shall be the same as those to 
 which his transferor would have been 
 subject if no such transfer had taken 
 place, and his obligation to keep records 
 sufficient to verify such prices shall be 
 the same. The transferor shall either 
 preserve and make available, or turn 
 over, to the transferee all records of 
 transactions prior to the transfer which 
 are necessary to enable the transferee 
 to comply with the record provisions of 
 this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 13. Records, (a) This section 
 tells you what records you shall preserve

 able as required in paragraph (a) of this 
 section those records in your possession

 the commodities you delivered during the 
 base period, and those records you used 
 to establish the markups you charged 
 during the base period, and those rec¬ 
 ords you used showing how you calcu¬ 
 lated your base period markup. You 
 must also prepare and preserve a state¬ 
 ment of your customary price differen¬ 
 tials. terms and conditions of sale, and 
 classes of purchasers, which you had in 
 effect during the base period. 
 
 (c) You shall prepare and keep avail¬ 
 able, as required in paragraph (a) of this 
 section, records of the kind you cus¬ 
 tomarily keep; specifically you must also 
 keep records showing the date of each 
 sale or contract, the names of the parties 
 thereto, the prices charged, the landed 
 cost or the cost of the commodity to you. 
 If you are a retailer, however, you are 
 required only to preserve your purchase 
 invoices and to record thereon your sell¬ 
 ing price. 
 
 (d) If you are a seller who has cus¬ 
 tomarily given a purchaser a sales slip, 
 receipt, or similar evidence of purchase, 
 you shall continue to do so. Upon re¬ 
 quest from a purchaser, any seller, re¬ 
 gardless of previous custom, shall give 
 the purchaser a receipt showing the 
 date, the name and address of the seller, 
 the name of each commodity or service 
 sold, and the price received for it. 
 
 Sbc. 14. Exemptions, (a) This regu¬ 
 lation does not apply to sales of com¬ 
 modities for which import ceiling prices

 operate to prevent the performance of 
 a written contract for the sale of an 
 imported commodity entered into prior 
 to May 9, 1951 and executed in strict 
 compliance with the provisions of the 
 General Ceiling Price Regulation; Pro¬ 
 vided, (1) That such contract covers a 
 commodity which the seller as of the 
 date of the contract had in inventory or

 That such contract covers a specified 
 quantity of a described commodity at a 
 fixed price per unit.

 for a commodity substantially below the 
 normal markup in the trade so as to 
 create a situation of hardship; or that 
 the applicant’s dollars and cents markup 
 has become so small because of increased 
 landed costs as to create a situation of 
 hardship. 
 
 (b) The applicant in filing under this 
 provision shall provide the following in¬ 
 formation: 
 
 (1) The percentage the sales of the 
 commodity in question bore to the ap¬

 DEFINITION OF PROCESSING 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 15 to Ceiling Price Regulation 31 
 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 The definition of “processing” in sec¬ 
 tion 18 <c) (9) of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 31 is amended to give effect to the 
 exemption from price control of all im¬ 
 ported spices, seeds, and herbs under 
 section 2 (h) (2) of General Overriding 
 Regulation 7, Revision 1 (Amendment 
 13>. The statement of considerations 
 
 applicable to the action providing the 
 exemption under GOR 7 is equally appli¬ 
 cable here. 
 
 This amendment also eliminates the 
 shelling, roasting or salting of imported 
 nuts from the definition of “processing” 
 in section 18 (c) (9) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 31. This is done to conform 
 this regulation to CPR 22, under which 
 a supplementary regulation is being 
 issued to provide that persons perform¬ 
 ing such operations constitute manufac¬ 
 turers covered by that regulation. 
 
 FINDINGS OF THE DIRECTOR 
 
 In formulating this amendment the 
 Director of Price Stabilization has con¬ 
 sulted extensively with industry repre¬ 
 sentatives, including trade association 
 representatives, and has given full con¬ 
 sideration to their recommendations. 
 In his judgment the provisions of this 
 amendment are generally fair and 
 equitable, are necessary to effectuate the 
 purposes of Title IV of the Defense Pro¬ 
 duction Act of 1950, as amended, and 
 
 comply with all the applicable standards 
 of that act. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 18 (c) (9) is amended by de¬ 
 leting everything after the first sen¬ 
 tence, so that the section, as amended, 
 reads as follows: 
 
 (9) Processing. This term means the 
 sorting, grading, cleaning, repacking, as¬ 
 sembling, or otherwise manipulating of 
 a commodity but not to the extent that 
 there results therefrom a new and dif¬ 
 ferent article having a distinctive char¬ 
 acter. 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50

 Effective date. This amendment shall 
 become effective November 26, 1952.

 SUSPENSIONS AND EXEMPTIONS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 16 to Ceiling Price Regulation 31 
 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation (CPR) 31 adds a new section to 
 the regulation to clarify the applicability 
 of a General Overriding Regulation 
 <GOR) to imported commodities. Con¬ 
 sistent with prior.linterpretations this 
 
 section provides that: Unless language 
 appears in a General Overriding Regu¬ 
 lation which limits-the applicability of 
 that regulation to domestic sales only, 
 the General Overriding Regulation cuts 
 across CPR 31. Thus, if sales of a com¬ 
 modity are suspended or exempted from 
 price control generally by a General 
 Overriding Regulation, such suspension 
 or exemption includes sales of imported 
 commodities. 
 
 FINDINGS OF THE DIRECTOR 
 
 In view of the nature of this amend¬ 
 ment, special circumstances have ren¬ 
 dered consultation with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, including trade association 
 representatives impracticable. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization the provisions of this amend¬ 
 ment are generally fair and equitable, 
 are necessary to effectuate the purposes 
 of Title IV of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, and comply 
 
 with all the applicable standards of that 
 act. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 31 is amended 
 by adding the following new section: 
 
 Sec. 22. Suspensions and Exemptions. 
 When a General Overriding Regulation 
 is issued by the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion exempting or suspending controls on 
 certain commodities, unless language 
 appears in the General Overriding Regu¬ 
 lation which limits the applicability of 
 that regulation to domestic sales only,, 
 the General Overriding Regulation is 
 applicable to all sales of such commod¬ 
 ities otherwise under this regulation. 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816. as amended; 50 U. S. C.

 become effective January 5, 1953.

 IMPORTER 
 
 Person through whom seller bills--when not importer 
 
 Purchaser located in U. S. orders goods from Canadian subsidiary of U. S. cor¬ 
 poration to be shipped to destination in U. S. for re-exportation by purchaser, 
 and the goods are sold to the purchaser f.o.b. a shipping point in Canada. Because 
 the purchaser desires that payment be made.in U. S., the Canadian corporation bills 
 the purchaser, through its U. S. parent corporation, for exactly the same amount 
 for which it was billed by Canadian subsidiary and receives payment from the pur¬ 
 chaser. Under these circumstances the U. S. corporation is merely the agent of its 
 Canadian affiliate. The purchaser, rather than the U. S. -corporation, is the 
 importer of the goods and hence the U. S. corporation is not subject to CPR 31. 
 
 The U. S. corporation furnishes a service to its Canadian subsidiary and should 
 file a statement of such service with the appropriate district office, even though 
 the service is rendered gratuitously, under Section 18(b) of CPR 34.

 Inquiry has been received whether imported woolen scarves and knitted cashmere 
 sweaters are "woven fabrics" within the meaning of Appendix A-2 of CPR 31 and 
 thereby excepted from the coverage of the regulation. 
 
 Imported woolen scarves and knitted cashmere sweaters are not considered to be 
 fabrics and hence are not included within the exception contained in Appendix 
 A-2. Accordingly, these imported commodities must be priced pursuant to CPR 31.

 RETAIL CEILING PRICES FOR IMPORTS 
 
 May not be determined by foreign manufacturer's suggested 
 price list 
 
 The question is whether farm equipment dealers in this country who 
 handle products manufactured by a company in Canada and imported in this 
 country may sell at the manufacturer’s suggested factory list prices. 
 
 The ceiling prices for sales by dealers of imported farm equipment are 
 established by CPR 31, Imports. This regulation does not permit a retailer of 
 imported commodities to establish his ceiling prices by reference to the for¬ 
 eign manufacturer's suggested retail prices. It is not feasible to establish 
 ceiling prices for sellers of imported commodities on this basis, since OPS 
 has no power to control the suggested resale prices of a foreign manufacturer.

 APPLICABILITY 
 
 Report required on sales at cost to affiliated corporation 
 
 A corporation, continuing its base period practice, purchases imported shells and 
 resells them at its cost of acquisition to an affiliated corporate manufacturer. The 
 latter converts the shells into buttons and resells them to the corporation. Inquiry 
 is made as to whether the corporation’s sales to its affiliate are subject to CPR 31 
 and, more particularly, whether the corporation is covered by sections 4 and 6 thereof 
 
 Under the facts given and in the light of the definition of ’’sell’’ in section 18 
 (c)(6), the corporation is a seller under the regulation.* 
 
 Sales of imported shells are subject to CPR 31 providing that such sales are made, 
 by those persons, inter alia, who are wholesalers within the special meaning of CPR 
 31. The commodity here involved is imported, and under section 18(a)(2) the importer 
 is a wholesaler since it resells to an ’’industrial user", namely, the affiliate, who 
 is a person ut ng an imported commodity in fabrication or manufacture as required 
 under section J .8(a)(5). It follows from the foregoing that the above described sales 
 by the corporation are covered by CPR 31. 
 
 Since the coloration is a wholesaler with base period experience it prices under 
 the method provided in section 4. In addition, it must comply with the reporting 
 requirements of section 6(b) notwithstanding the fact that the sales to its affiliate 
 are at cost of acquisition and without markup. 
 
 (12-2-52 No. 12) 
 
 *The inquirer states that the transfer from the corporation to its affiliate includes 
 the passage of title and it is assumed for the purpose of this interpretation that a 
 sale is involved. Such assumption makes unnecessary a discussion of the questions 
 that would be raised in the event that the affiliate is, in fact, performing in¬ 
 dustrial services for the corporation.

 PROCESSING 
 
 Does not include conversion of raw herring to pickled herring 
 
 A seller who buys herring from Newfoundland, which he cuts into small pieces and 
 which, after adding pickling, spices and brine, he packs in small size containers for 
 sale to wholesaler and retailers is not engaged in processing as that term is used in 
 section 18(c)(9) of Ceiling Price Regulation 31. Under that section "processing," as 
 defined, includes: Sorting, grading, cleaning, repacking, assembling, or otherwise 
 manipulating of a commodity but not to the extent that there results therefrom a new 
 and different article having a distinctive character. 
 
 The seller in this case is, in effect, converting raw whole or slightly salted 
 herring into pickled herring to be sold in containers and is therefore a manu¬ 
 facturer. However, since paragraph 24 of Appendix A of CPR 22 excludes non-sterile 
 fish products, the sale of such herring is subject to GCPR.

 [Celling Price Regulation 31, Supplementary

 SR 1—CEILING PRICES FOR BALER AND 
 BINDER TWINES MANUFACTURED IN 
 CANADA 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 as amended. Executive Order 
 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), and Economic Sta¬ 
 bilization General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Supplementary Regulation 1 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 31 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Baler and binder twines manufactured 
 in Canada from sisal and henequen 
 fibres are identical with such twines 
 manufactured in the United States, and 
 to the extent that they are sold in the 
 United States, have always been sold on 
 a directly competitive basis with and at 
 the same prices as domestic twines. 
 
 Jobbers and wholesalers of baler and 
 binder twines have customarily not dis¬ 
 tinguished between such twines manu¬ 
 factured in Canada and domestic twines, 
 either as to identity for filling orders or 
 as to price, and these twines are nor¬ 
 mally commingled in warehouses. 
 
 Domestic twines are covered by Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 89 to the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation. Twines man¬ 
 ufactured in Canada are covered by 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 31 with respect 
 to sales by importers and wholesalers. 
 Due to the different techniques of these 
 two regulations, ceiling price differen¬ 
 tials may be created between Canadian 
 and domestic twines due to fluctuations 
 
 in cost, resulting in differences in mark¬ 
 ups. 
 
 In an industry where customarily no 
 distinction is made between C anadian 
 and domestic twines, a difference in 
 markup by operation of ceiling price 
 regulation constitutes an inducement to 
 the seller in the United States to tend 
 to favor one source of supply or the 
 other. Where the commodity involved 
 is an important one in our economy, the 
 resulting distortion of normal channels 
 of distribution may tend to aggravate a 
 condition of short supply. It is desirable, 
 therefore, that sellers of Canadian and 
 domestic twines should be able to follow 
 their customary practices of commin¬ 
 gling the twine and selling both twines 
 at the same prices. 
 
 This will operate to relieve possible 
 inequities and to prevent an unnecessary 
 burden of bookkeeping and warehouse 
 segregation, according to the place of 
 manufacture, of what is essentially the 
 same commodity. 
 
 This supplementary regulation to CPR 
 31 establishes the ceiling prices for do¬ 
 mestic twines as the ceiling prices for 
 similar twines manufactured in Canada. 
 (This action does not affect sales of sisal 
 and henequen fibres, which are presently 
 covered by CPR 31.) 
 
 Due to the nature of this action, for¬ 
 mal consultation with the industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, including representatives 
 of trade associations, has not been prac¬ 
 ticable. However, there have been nu¬ 
 merous consultations with individual 
 members of the industry and considera¬ 
 tion has been given to their recommen¬ 
 dations. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation is generally fair and 
 equitable and will effectuate the purpose 
 of Title IV of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended.

 Imported Steel Ceiling Price Regulation 31 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 2 
 
 JANUARY 16, 1953 
 
 OFFICE OF PRICE STABILIZATION 
 
 WASHINGTON 
 
 TITLE 32A—NATIONAL DEFENSE, 
 APPENDIX 
 
 Chapter III—Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Economic Stabilization Agency 
 
 [Ceiling Price Regulation 31, Supplementary 
 Regulation 2) 
 
 CPR 31, SR 2—Imported Steel 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive 
 Order 10161, and Economic Stabiliza¬ 
 tion Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Supplementary Regulation 2 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 31 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Normally, prices in the United States 
 for imported steel must be competitive 
 with, and are therefore limited by, prices 
 for steel domestically produced. When 
 the supply of domestic steel is insuffi¬ 
 cient to meet the demand and is subject 
 to allocations or price control sellers of 
 imported steel are able to obtain prices 
 substantially in excess of domestic steel 
 prices. 
 
 Recently, shortages of domestic sup¬ 
 ply have produced a condition under 
 which imported steel and steel mill 
 products are in relatively high demand. 
 This extraordinary demand may well 
 produce pressures which induce distor¬ 
 tions in the price structure and in the 
 distribution pattern for such steel. Sell¬ 
 ers who had not been in the business of 
 importing steel prior to or during the 
 base period have undertaken the busi¬ 
 ness of importing and selling steel. 
 Other sellers who have been in this busi¬ 
 ness previously have undertaken in 
 some cases to obtain higher prices for 
 the steel by by-passing their usual buy¬ 
 ers. These conditions tend to change 
 the normal pattern of distribution, caus¬ 
 ing inflationary pressures that are a 
 common result of such changes. 
 
 The importation and distribution of 
 imported steel are presently covered, 
 with respect to the establishment of ceil¬ 
 ing prices, by either Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 31 or Ceiling Price Regulation 98, 
 depending upon the specific combination 
 of importation and distribution involved. 
 
 For most sellers, these regulations are 
 sufficient. However, under the situation 
 that presently exists, the specific appli¬ 
 cations of these regulations in the 
 various types of situations presented are 
 insufficient for ‘a number of major rea¬ 
 sons. First, in a quickened market the 
 application of more than one regulation 
 makes enforcement more difficult than 
 would be the case under a single clear 
 regulation. Second, sellers of imported 
 steel may be put to a disadvantage 
 where they are not able to determine 
 quickly just what their permissible ceil¬ 
 ing price is, inasmuch as the risk in¬ 
 
 volved in dealing in imported steel 
 under the present conditions is increased 
 where delays are encountered in com¬ 
 pleting transactions. Third, new sell¬ 
 ers, or old sellers dealing in new items 
 of imported steel, may encounter un¬ 
 avoidable delays in establishing ceiling 
 prices for their sales. 
 
 For these reasons, it is necessary to 
 issue this supplementary regulation. 
 The regulation provides specific dollars 
 and cents markups for various categories 
 of imported steel and steel mill products 
 which an importer must use to determine 
 his ceiling price. In addition, when steel 
 or steel mill products are warehoused, the 
 regulation provides for markups for such 
 warehousing which are in line with the 
 markups allowed for domestic steel. 
 Further, limitations are placed upon 
 multiple handling and unreasonable 
 warehousing to prevent a pyramiding of 
 markups by resellers of steel. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, there has been consul¬ 
 tation to the extent practicable with 
 industry representatives, including trade 
 association representatives, and con¬ 
 sideration has been given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. In the judgment of the 
 Director of Price Stabilization, the pro¬ 
 visions of this supplementary regulation 
 are generally fair and equitable, are 
 necessary to effectuate the purpose of 
 Title IV of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended, and comply with all 
 of the applicable standards of that Act.

 REGULATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 1. What this supplementary 
 regulation does. This supplementary 
 regulation establishes specified dollars 
 and cents markups to be used in deter¬ 
 mining ceiling prices for the sale of im¬ 
 ported steel and steel mill products by 
 importers and resellers of such com¬ 
 modities to the extent that their sales 
 are covered by CPR 31. Methods are 
 also provided for computing an addi¬ 
 tional markup by importers and whole¬ 
 salers who warehouse such of these 
 commodities which are covered by 
 CPR 31. 
 
 Sec. 2. Applicability. This supple¬ 
 mentary regulation applies to sales of 
 imported steel and imported steel mill 
 products by importers and wholesalers 
 thereof to the same extent as CPR 31, 
 that is, in the continental United States 
 to all sales of imported steel and im¬ 
 ported steel mill products by the import¬ 
 er thereof and to all such sales by 
 resellers to the extent that such sales 
 are covered by CPR 31 (and not by CPR 
 98). Unless otherwise provided by this 
 supplementary regulation, the markups 
 established under this supplementary 
 regulation must be used in place of any 
 other markups otherwise determined 
 under CPR 31. 
 
 Sec. 3. Ceiling prices for importers; 
 specified markup, (a) The ceiling price 
 per ton, FOB importer’s receiving point, 
 for sales by the importer thereof to any

 4. A markup of $20.00 per ton for all 
 other steel mill products not otherwise 
 specifically listed in this section and cov¬ 
 ered by this supplementary regulation. 
 
 (b) The importer may add to his ceil¬ 
 ing price the actual transportation 
 charges made by others for delivery to 
 his buyer which are paid by the importer. 
 
 Sec. 4. Ceiling prices for resellers; 
 specific markups, (a) Except as other¬ 
 wise provided, the ceiling prices for sales 
 at wholesale of the commodities shown 
 in section 3 shall be the cost of acquisi¬ 
 tion to the reseller plus the markups 
 specified for importers in section 3. 
 
 (b) When a reseller buys a commod¬ 
 ity described in section 3 from another 
 reseller, then the ceiling price for his 
 sale of such commodity shall be the ceil¬ 
 ing price of his supplier. 
 
85 Serv 31:402 
 
 (c) A reseller may add to his ceiling 
 price the actual transportation charges 
 made by others for delivery to his buyer 
 which are paid by the reseller. 
 
 Sec. 5. Addition for warehousing —(a) 
 Ey importers. Any importer covered by 
 this supplementary regulation who 
 warehouses steel or steel products im¬ 
 ported by him may add to his ceiling 
 price for sales as an importer estab¬ 
 lished under section 3 of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation an additional dollars 
 and cents markup for such warehousing 
 computed as follows: 
 
 (2) For the commodities not described 
 in Table 1: A markup equal to the mark¬ 
 up provided for sales by importers in 
 section 3 of this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion. 
 
 (b) By resellers. Any reseller covered 
 by this supplementary regulation who 
 warehouses imported steel or steel mill 
 products not included in Table 1 of para¬ 
 graph (a) of this section may add to his 
 ceiling price established under section 4 
 of this supplementary regulation a dol¬ 
 lars and cents markup computed in the 
 same manner as provided for importers 
 in section 5 (a) (2) above. 
 
 (c) By buyers of warehoused com¬ 
 modities. The ceiling price for the sale 
 
 (1) For the commodities described in 
 Table 1: Multiply the mill base price 
 for domestic steel which is similar to the 
 imported steel you are pricing by the 
 applicable percentage markup shown in 
 Table 1 according to the area in which 
 the warehouse from which you are mak¬ 
 ing the sale is located. The mill base 
 price shall be the price at-the producing 
 mill nearest to the location of your ware¬ 
 house and it shall be that price listed 
 by the mill on the date the imported 
 steel is entered in your warehouse. 
 Extras are allowed only where indicated 
 in Part n of Table 1. 
 
 by any person of any commodity covered 
 by this supplementary regulation which 
 is purchased from a warehouse shall be 
 the ceiling price of his supplier. 
 
 (d) No markup shall be permitted un¬ 
 der this section for any direct sale. No 
 markup shall be permitted under this 
 section for any sale made prior to receipt 
 of the steel by the seller when it is not 
 necessary to perform any warehousing 
 operation on the steel such as cutting, 
 coating, or otherwise processing the steel 
 beyond storage, provided that the 
 markup may be taken in such cases 
 where circumstances beyond the control 
 of the seller require that the steel be 
 
 taken into the warehouse prior to de¬ 
 livery to the purchaser. 
 
 Sec. 6. Definitions —(a) Warehousing. 
 Warehousing of iron and steel prod¬ 
 ucts consists of performing such opera¬ 
 tions as receiving, storing, sorting, 
 grading and shipping, and other opera¬ 
 tions which are necessary or incidental 
 to the resale and distribution of such 
 commodities after they are brought into 
 premises regularly maintained and 
 equipped with facilities for performing 
 these operations. In no case, however, 
 will such operations be considered as 
 having been performed unless the prem¬ 
 ises referred to are owned, rented, or 
 otherwise regularly maintained by the 
 owner of the material at the time it is 
 put through such operations. The op¬ 
 eration of warehousing of iron or steel 
 products will not be considered as having 
 been performed if the premises referred 
 to are a public warehouse, except if you 
 regularly maintain space in a public 
 warehouse equipped with facilities for 
 performing warehousing operations and 
 in which you perform the operations of 
 warehousing for your own account for 
 which your records indicate that you 
 charged a warehouse markup over your 
 invoice costs. No commodity being sold 
 under this supplementary regulation 
 shall be deemed to have been the subject 
 of a warehousing operation for the pur¬ 
 pose of determining a markup unless the 
 specific commodity being sold has been 
 subject to the warehousing operation as 
 defined herein. 
 
 (b) Direct sale. This term means the 
 sale of an imported iron or steel product 
 which is transported from an importer’s 
 receiving point to a buyer without being 
 put through a warehousing operation. 
 
 (c) Importer’s receiving point. This 
 term means the point at which the steel 
 is received from abroad by the importer 
 which he uses for computation of his 
 landed cost. 
 
 (d) Reseller. This term means a per¬ 
 son who performs a recognized distrib¬ 
 utive function, buys an imported com¬ 
 modity of which he is not the importer, 
 and resells it in essentially the same 
 form to a retailer, industrial, commer¬ 
 cial or institutional buyer, another re¬ 
 seller, or to the Federal or any State 
 Government or any Agency or political 
 subdivision thereof in accordance with 
 accepted trade practice. 
 
 Sec. 7. Miscellaneous. Except as here¬ 
 in modified, all the provisions of CPR 31, 
 including applicable record-keeping and 
 reporting requirements, remain in effect 
 with reference to sales made under this 
 supplementary regulation. 
 
 Effective date. This supplementary 
 regulation 2 to CPR 31 shall become 
 effective on January 21, 1953.

 Ceiling Price Regulation 34

 TITLE 32A—NATIONAL DEFENSE, 
 APPENDIX 
 
 Chapter III—Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Economic Stabilization Agency 
 
 [Ceiling Price Regulation 34] 
 
 CPR 34— Services 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 Executive Order 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), 
 and Economic Stabilization Agency 
 General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738) this 
 Ceiling Price Regulation is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 The inflationary pressures incident to 
 the Korean situation and the stepped up 
 rearmament program brought on price 
 increases throughout the economy 
 during the latter part of 1950, which 
 necessitated prompt action in direct 
 price controls. Accordingly, on January 
 26, 1951, the Office of Price Stabilization 
 issued the General Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion. This regulation, with certain ex¬ 
 ceptions, fixed the ceiling prices of all 
 commodities and all services at the 
 highest price charged by the seller 
 during the base period, December 19, 
 1950, to January 25, 1951, inclusive. At 
 the time of the issuance of the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation, it was under¬ 
 stood that it did not adequately meet 
 the specific needs of numerous suppliers 
 of services and that it was to be replaced 
 with respect to that field as soon as 
 practicable. A new regulation, Ceiling 
 Price Regulation No. 34 Services is issued 
 separately covering the field of services, 
 and, to the extent of its applicability, 
 supersedes the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation in the services field. In the 
 main, the fundamental provisions of the 
 General Ceiling Price Regulation, in¬ 
 cluding the base period of December 19, 
 1950, to January 25, 1951, for the de¬ 
 termination of ceiling prices, have been 
 retained in this new regulation. The 
 considerations which support the Gen¬ 
 eral Ceiling Price Regulation are equally 
 applicable to this Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion No. 34. 
 
 Services rendered in trade, commerce 
 and industry, services integrated with 
 such services as well as personal services, 
 all vitally affect the national economy. 
 The administrative problems involved in 
 regulating the ceiling prices to be 
 charged for such services are so much 
 different from those involved in regulat¬ 
 ing the ceiling prices for commodities, 
 that it has been determined to issue a 
 
 separate ceiling price regulation for such 
 services. The new regulation removes 
 from the coverage of the General Ceiling 
 Price Regulation all services (except 
 transportation services of contract car¬ 
 riers and certain industrial services in 
 connection with the jobbing shop oper¬ 
 ations in metals and metal products and 
 the plating of plastics or other non- 
 metallic materials, except the repair and 
 maintenance of automotive and farm 
 equipment) and brings under the single 
 Services Regulation all such services 
 subject to price control with the excep¬ 
 tion of defense services exempted by 
 Supplementary Regulation 1 to the Gen¬ 
 eral Ceiling Price Regulation, services 
 exempted by Supplementary Regulation 
 15 to the General Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion, and those services which now or 
 hereafter may be covered in other spe¬ 
 cific price regulations. 
 
 Many service functions rendered for 
 the same general use and purpose vary 
 with the specific task. This is particu¬ 
 larly true in the repair trades. While 
 certain of these trades permit a stand¬ 
 ardization of price because of the normal 
 pattern of the requirements of the pur¬ 
 chaser, other types of repair trades, be¬ 
 cause of the varying nature of the repair 
 demands of the purchaser, do not permit 
 a pre-determined price. The new regu¬ 
 lation provides a method for determina¬ 
 tion of prices based upon the highest 
 price charged in the base period for the 
 same service. This provision permits the 
 supplier of a service to determine his 
 price in accordance with his own pricing 
 method, but limits the elements which 
 enter into the determination of the prices 
 to their highest base period level. Under 
 the regulation the highest price charged 
 by the seller during the base period for 
 any service customarily rendered but not 
 in fact supplied during the base period 
 is deemed to be that price which would 
 have been charged upon a rate or pric¬ 
 ing method regularly used for determin¬ 
 ing the price for such service during the 
 base period, December 19, 1950, to Janu¬ 
 ary 25, 1951, inclusive. 
 
 Many, services are seasonal in nature 
 or subject to seasonal variation in price. 
 In some cases the services are not per¬ 
 formed during the base period. In other 
 cases a seasonal variation in price occurs 
 and it would be manifestly unfair to 
 restrict the supplier of the service to his 
 base period price. A provision has been 
 added to the new regulation which pro¬ 
 vides for the determination of ceiling 
 prices for seasonal services or services 
 subject to seasonal variation in price. 
 The provision limits the seller to the 
 highest price charged in the last cor¬ 
 
 responding season, but permits an in¬ 
 crease based upon the rise in the cost 
 of living from that season. 
 
 The adjustment provisions of this reg¬ 
 ulation, with limitations, permit the 
 filing of an application for adjustment 
 by a seller of a service or services where 
 substantial financial hardship exists. 
 Service establishments are in the main 
 small business establishments without 
 substantial reserves of capital. Labor is 
 the most important factor of cost and 
 either direct labor wage increases or 
 deterioration of labor supply can create 
 financial hardship threatening the con¬ 
 tinuance of the establishment’s exist¬ 
 ence. 
 
 In like fashion, the regulation is tail¬ 
 ored to meet the various problems of 
 pricing which arise in the services field 
 that are foreign to the commodities field. 
 The regulation is further designed by 
 introduction of filing provisions to per¬ 
 mit more effective enforcement in the 
 services field and to provide a source for 
 price data for the development of indi¬ 
 vidual supplementary service regulations 
 in particular service trades. 
 
 The foregoing modifications do not 
 change in any way the fundamental 
 economic policy which is effectuated by 
 the General Ceiling Price Regulation. 
 The base period of December 19, 1950, to 
 January 25,1951, as the appropriate date 
 for the determination of ceiling prices, 
 is maintained throughout this regula¬ 
 tion. Within the general framework of 
 the General Ceiling Price Regulation, 
 however, flexibility is achieved which 
 adapts that framework to the individual 
 characteristics of the services field. 
 
 While the innumerable and diverse 
 services cutting across a complex of dif¬ 
 ferent industries and trades has ren¬ 
 dered impracticable the establishing of, 
 and consultation with, formal service 
 committees during the preparation of 
 this regulation, nevertheless, the Direc¬ 
 tor of Price Stabilization, wherever 
 feasible, has consulted with numerous 
 representatives from various services 
 fields and given consideration to their 
 recommendations. In the judgment of 
 the Director of Price Stabilization, the 
 provisions of this regulation are gener¬ 
 ally fair and equitable and are necessary 
 to effectuate the purpose of Title IV of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950. 
 
 So far as practicable, the Director of 
 Price Stabilization has given considera¬ 
 tion to the National effort to achieve 
 maximum production in furtherance of 
 the objectives of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, including prices prevailing 
 during the period from May 24, 1950, to 
 June 24, 1930, and to relevant factors of 
 general applicability.

 Section 1. What this regulation does. 
 This regulation removes most services 
 from the coverage of the General Ceiling 
 Price Regulation (GCPR) and brings 
 them under this regulation. This regu¬ 
 lation in general establishes the ceiling 
 price of most services at the levels pre¬ 
 vailing in the period December 19, 1950, 
 to January 25, 1951, inclusive. 
 
 Sec. 2. Services covered. This regu¬ 
 lation covers all services except: 
 
 (a) Services exempted in the GCPR, 
 as amended; 
 
 (b) Defense services exempted by 
 Supplementary Regulation 1 to the

 (c) Services exempted by Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 15 to the GCPR, as 
 amended; 
 
 (d) Services covered by any specific 
 price regulation now or hereafter issued 
 by the OPS; 
 
 (e) The following services, which re¬ 
 main under the GCPR: 
 
 (1) Transportation services of con¬ 
 tract carriers; 
 
 (2) The following industrial services 
 (except services rendered in connection 
 with the repair or maintenance of auto¬ 
 motive or farm equipment) when per¬ 
 formed on material or products owned 
 by another: 
 
 (i) All jobbing shop operations cus¬ 
 tomarily performed in the fabrication, 
 conversion, repair or maintenance of 
 metals or metal products. These opera¬ 
 tions include abrading, adjusting, assem¬ 
 bling, cutting, forming, grinding, ma¬ 
 chining, shaping and welding or other¬ 
 wise joining. 
 
 (ii) All jobbing shop operations cus¬ 
 tomarily performed in the treatment, 
 coating, or finishing of metals or metal 
 products. These operations include an¬ 
 nealing, anodizing, bonderizing, blasting, 
 carbonizing, carburizing, case-harden¬ 
 ing, cleaning, coronizing, deoxidizing, 
 enameling, galvanizing, heat treating, 
 heresiting, japannizing, laquering, lead 
 coating, metallizing, nitriding, normaliz¬ 
 
 ing, painting, pickling, phosphate coat¬ 
 ing, plating, polishing, sheradizing, shot 
 peening, tempering and tinning. 
 
 (iii) Plating on plastics and other non- 
 metallic materials. 
 
 Sec. 3. Prohibitions, (a) On and after 
 May 16, 1951, regardless of any contract 
 or other obligation: 
 
 (1) You may not sell any service cov¬ 
 ered by this regulation at a price higher 
 than your ceiling price. 
 
 (2) No person in the course of trade 
 or business may buy any service covered 
 by this regulation at a price higher than 
 the ceiling price. 
 
 Of course, you may charge lower prices 
 than your ceiling prices at any time. 
 
 (b) Once you have reported your ceil¬ 
 ing price or a proposed ceiling price for 
 a service as required by this regulation, 
 you may not thereafter redetermine it. 
 A purely arithmetical error may, how¬ 
 ever, be corrected, but the correction 
 must be reported to the Director of Price 
 Stabilization, Washington 25, D. C. 
 
 Sec. 4. Prices previously established. 
 fa) This regulation supersedes the 
 GCPR insofar as the GCPR dealt with 
 services now covered by this regulation. 
 
 (b) Since this regulation keeps cer¬ 
 tain of the basic pricing provisions of 
 the GCPR, many of your ceiling prices 
 under this regulation will be the same 
 as those you properly established under 
 the GCPR. 
 
 (c) In addition all prices established 
 under section 6 or section 7 of the GCPR 
 remain in effect under this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 5. General pricing provisions. 
 (a) In determining your ceiling price 
 (which you must report in the manner 
 provided by section 18 of this regulation), 
 use the first of the following provisions 
 which applies to you. Your ceiling price 
 shall be: 
 
 (1) The highest price at which you 
 supplied the same service during the 
 “base period” (December 19, 1950, to 
 January 25, 1951, inclusive) to a pur¬ 
 chaser of the same class. (Be sure to 
 read the definition of “purchaser of the 
 same class” in section 27 (a) (11) of this 
 regulation.) If, however, in the base 
 period you did not have a flat price for 
 the service but did have a rate or a pric¬ 
 ing method to determine your price, you 
 may continue to use your highest base 
 period rate or pricing method to deter¬ 
 mine your ceiling price for the same 
 service, to a purchaser of the same class. 
 
 (2) If you did not actually deliver the 
 service in the base period, then the high¬ 
 est price at which you offered in writ¬ 
 ing to supply the same service for 
 delivery in the base period to a pur¬ 
 chaser of the same class. If, however, 
 in the base period you did not offer in 
 writing to supply that service to that 
 class of purchaser upon the basis of a 
 flat price but did have a rate or pricing 
 method upon the basis of which you 
 could have supplied that service to that 
 class of purchaser, then the price result¬ 
 ing from the application of your highest 
 base period rate or pricing method 
 which would, by your usual trade prac¬ 
 tice, have been used by you had you sup¬ 
 plied the service in the base period. 
 
 (3) The ceiling price of your closest 
 competitor for the same service to a 
 purchaser of the same class, if you did 
 not actually supply it or offer it for 
 supply in the base period to any pur¬ 
 
 chaser. However, you may not take 
 your closest competitor’s ceiling price if 
 such price is based on his offering price. 
 The term “ceiling price” as used in this 
 paragraph and in sections 6 and 7 of this 
 regulation also includes a ceiling rate or 
 pricing method. If you are a new seller 
 first making sales after the effective date 
 of this regulation, or a seller of a new 
 service first sold by you after the effective 
 date of this regulation, you will comply 
 with section 6 of this regulation. 
 
 (b) In the use of a rate or a pricing 
 method you may not charge more for 
 each factor of the rate or pricing method 
 than the highest price you charged for 
 such factor in the base period. For ex¬ 
 ample, you operate an automobile repair 
 shop and you do not have a fixed flat 
 price for body repair work but make a 
 labor charge of $3 per hour plus the price 
 of any parts supplied. You may not now 
 charge more than $3 per hour for your 
 labor charge even though you are paying 
 your mechanics more than you paid them 
 in the base period. Furthermore, you 
 may not now charge more than the high¬ 
 est price you charged for the parts in 
 the base period unless a commodity regu¬ 
 lation establishes a new ceiling price for 
 such parts in which case you may charge 
 for such parts the ceiling price so es¬ 
 tablished. 
 
 Sec. 6. Pricing for new services and 
 sellers, (a) If you are a new seller or 
 are selling a new service which cannot 
 be priced under section 5 of this regula¬ 
 tion, your selling price is the same as 
 the ceiling price of your closest compet¬ 
 itor for the same service to a purchaser 
 of the same class. 
 
 (b) Within 10 days after determining 
 the ceiling pric under this section you 
 must report the price in writing to the 
 appropriate OPS district office explain¬ 
 ing how the price was computed. You 
 must also comply with the applicable 
 provisions of section 1C of this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 7. Services which cannot be priced 
 under section 5 or 6 of this regulation. 
 (a) If you cannot determine a ceiling 
 price under section 5 or section 6 of this 
 regulation, you must file an application 
 with the Director of Price Stabilization, 
 Washington 25, D. C., for approval of a 
 ceiling price in line with the level of 
 ceiling prices otherwise established by 
 this regulation, and in the case of a com¬ 
 modity rental or a manufacturing or 
 processing service, a ceiling price con¬ 
 sistent with the level of ceiling prices 
 established for the sale of the commodity 
 by the applicable ceiling price regulation. 
 The application shall contain a descrip¬ 
 tion of the service, anticipated direct 
 labor and materal costs, and the pro¬ 
 posed ceiling price. It shall also con¬ 
 tain a full explanation of the reasons 
 why you cannot price this service under 
 section 5 or 6 of this regulation. If you 
 supplied any other service in the base 
 period, submit, in addition, a descrip¬ 
 tion of the most comparable service 
 showing your present direct labor and 
 material costs for it and your present 
 ceiling price. 
 
 (b) You may not sell the service for 
 which a ceiling price is requested under 
 this section until that price has been 
 approved by OPS, but the proposed price 
 shall be considered approved 20 days 
 after mailing the application (or all ad- 
 
85 Serv 32:3 
 
 ditional information which may have 
 been requested), unless, within that 
 time, CPS notifies you that your pro¬ 
 posed price has been disapproved. You 
 must also furnish any additional infor¬ 
 mation which OPS may require and 
 comply with the provisions of section 18 
 of this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 8. Pricing of seasonal services — 
 
 (a) Services supplied in the base period 
 but subject to seasonal variations in 
 price. If you have had a regularly estab¬ 
 lished seasonal variation in price and 
 delivered the service in the base period, 
 your ceiling price for your other seasonal 
 periods shall reflect your customary dol¬ 
 lar differential between that season and 
 the base period. 
 
 (b) Seasonal services not supplied in 
 the base period. If the service was not 
 supplied in the base period either by you, 
 or by a competitor in the same general 
 trading area serving the same kind of 
 purchaser, and if you supplied the service 
 regularly during one or more seasons of 
 the period January 26, 1950, to December 
 18,1950, inclusive, your ceiling price shall 
 be the price you charged in the last 
 season prior to the base period: Provided, 
 nevertheless, That if you are one of the 
 sellers referred to in paragraph (c) of 
 this section you may add to that price 
 the increase permitted in such para¬ 
 graph (c). If you customarily maintain 
 other seasonal variations in price you 
 shall reflect your customary dollar dif¬ 
 ferential in price between those seasons 
 and the last season in which the service 
 was supplied. 
 
 (c) You may under paragraph (b) of 
 this section use the following table to 
 compute your percentage increase if you 
 are a seller who on each day of the last 
 season prior to the base period employed 
 not more than seven individuals. If, 
 however, during the last season prior 
 to the base period, you employed eight 
 or more individuals in any one day and 
 you can show in your report to the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization that your 
 direct costs have now increased above 
 your costs in the last season prior to the 
 base period, you may under paragraph 
 
 (b) of this section add no more than 
 these direct costs to that price which 
 you charged in the last season prior to 
 the base period unless these direct costs 
 exceed the table percentage applicable 
 to you, in which case you will then use 
 that table percentage. 
 
 (1) The table percentage applicable to 
 you under this paragraph and paragraph 
 (b) of this section shall be as follows for 
 the applicable season: 
 
 8 percent Jan. 26, 1950, through April 
 30, 1950. 
 
 7 percent May 1, 1950, through June 30, 
 1950. 
 
 6 percent July 1, 1950, through July 31, 
 1950. 
 
 5 percent Aug. 1, 1950, through Aug. 31, 
 1950. 
 
 4 percent Sept. 1, 1950, through Sept. 30, 
 1950. 
 
 3 percent Oct. 1, 1950, through Nov. 30, 
 1950. 
 
 2 percent Dec. 1, 1950, through Dec. 18, 
 1950. 
 
 In selecting the appropriate percentage 
 increase apply the percentage for the 
 date in which the highest price for the 
 season was first announced by you in 
 writing or, if there was no such an¬ 
 nouncement, the first date on which the 
 
 service was sold by you at the highest 
 price in the season. 
 
 (d) This section applies only if the 
 season during which the variation in 
 price was in effect regularly consisted 
 of at least 14 consecutive days. 
 
 (e) Reports. Within 10 days after 
 establishing or determining your ceiling 
 price, or any change therein, under this 
 section, you must report the price in 
 writing to the Director of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation, Washington 25, D. C., explain¬ 
 ing how the price was computed. You 
 must also comply with the applicable 
 provisions of section 18 of this regula¬ 
 tion. 
 
 Sec. 9. Pricing changes. OPS may at 
 any time disapprove or revise ceiling 
 prices proposed or established under this 
 regulation or under section 7 of GCPR 
 so as to bring them into line with the 
 level of ceiling prices otherwise estab¬ 
 lished by this regulation. You may not 
 redetermine your ceiling price after it 
 has been determined under this regu¬ 
 lation unless it is changed by OPS, in 
 which case the changed price shall be 
 your ceiling price. 
 
 Sec. 10. Central pricing. OPS may 
 when it deems it consistent with the pur¬ 
 poses of this regulation establish uni¬ 
 form prices for sellers owning or operat¬ 
 ing more than one service establishment 
 and may for this purpose require sellers 
 to furnish necessary information. 
 
 Sec. 11. Commodities included in serv¬ 
 ices. Your ceiling price for a service 
 under this regulation includes any com¬ 
 modity furnished with the service. If 
 your ceiling price includes a separately 
 stated charge for the commodity, your 
 ceiling price for the service shall be in¬ 
 creased or decreased, as the case may be, 
 by the difference between your sepa¬ 
 rately stated charge for the commodity 
 under this regulation and the ceiling 
 price fixed by the applicable commodity 
 regulation. 
 
 Sec. 12. Special pricing provisions — 
 (a) Application of general pricing in¬ 
 crease to long-term contracts, etc. If 
 in the base period you had in effect an 
 increase in your prices for a service to 
 your classes of purchasers generally, and 
 you actually charged the increased price 
 to the classes of purchasers whom you 
 supplied in the base period, but you did 
 not supply the service at the increased 
 price in the base period to a particular 
 class of purchaser because either: 
 
 (1) You did not supply the service to 
 that class of purchaser in the base period 
 after the price increase, or 
 
 (2) You supplied the service to that 
 class of purchaser in the base period 
 after the price increase at a lower price 
 because you were bound to do so under 
 a contract made before the price in¬ 
 crease, then your ceiling price to that 
 particular class of purchaser shall be: 
 
 (i) Your increased offering price to 
 that class of purchaser for supply during 
 the base period, or 
 
 (ii) If you had no such increased of¬ 
 fering price, then the highest price at 
 which you supplied the service to a pur¬ 
 chaser of a different class during the 
 base period adjusted to reflect the cus¬ 
 tomary differential in price between the 
 two classes of purchasers. 
 
 If, however, in the base period you 
 announced in writing an increase in your 
 
 prices for a service to your classes of 
 purchasers generally, but you did not 
 deliver the service at the increased price 
 to any of the purchasers whom you sup¬ 
 plied in the base period because you were 
 bound under contracts made before the 
 announcement in writing of that price 
 increase, and you did enter into new con¬ 
 tracts for future delivery of the service 
 at the increased price prior to December 
 19, 1950, then at the expiration of each 
 old contract you may institute the an¬ 
 nounced price increase, adjusted to re¬ 
 flect the customary differential in prices 
 among your classes of purchasers. 
 
 (b) Percentage commissions on com¬ 
 modity sales or purchases. If you are 
 a commission seller, buyer, broker, or 
 auctioneer, and in the base period you 
 used a percentage rate to determine your 
 commission in connection with the sale 
 or purchase of a commodity, you may 
 now apply your highest base period per¬ 
 centage rate to the current authorized 
 price of a commodity under the appli¬ 
 cable commodity ceiling price regulation, 
 or to your sale or purchase price of the 
 commodity if it is lower, to determine 
 your commission for the purchase or sale 
 of the same commodity to a purchaser 
 of the same class. 
 
 (c) Individual negotiated prices. If 
 you customarily made a practice of 
 charging different purchasers different 
 prices without regard to standards, such 
 as quantity purchased and nature of 
 business (wholesaler, retailer, etc.) each 
 such customer is a separate class of pur¬ 
 chaser. 
 
 (d) New purchasers. Your price to a 
 new purchaser is your established ceiling 
 price to the class in which the new pur¬ 
 chaser falls. However, if you followed 
 the practice of maintaining individually 
 negotiated prices, the ceiling price to a 
 new purchaser is the arithmetic average 
 of your base period ceiling prices to pur¬ 
 chasers of the same class for the same 
 service. But if within one month prior 
 or one month subsequent to the accept¬ 
 ance of a new purchaser you discontinue 
 supplying an old purchaser to whom you 
 sold during the base period at a price 
 below your average price to purchasers 
 of the same class, your ceiling price to 
 the new purchaser shall be the same as 
 the ceiling price you charged the pur¬ 
 chaser you discontinued. 
 
 (e) Refusing to supply lower priced 
 services. (1) A seller may discontinue 
 selling his services. If, however, he dis¬ 
 continues a service that he offered in the 
 base period or since, and sells or offers to 
 sell in its place a higher priced service 
 which will achieve the same general pur¬ 
 poses as the service he discontinues, he 
 is evading the Defense Production Act of 
 1950, and is violating this regulation, un¬ 
 less it appears that one or more of the 
 following conditions exists: 
 
 (i) That specialized equipment or 
 supplies requisite to a continuance of the 
 particular service are not available; or 
 
 (ii) That the continuance of the par¬ 
 ticular service would be in violation of 
 or would be rendered impracticable by a 
 governmental order or regulation, or 
 that it would be contrary to govern- 
 mentally established standards or poli¬ 
 cies; or 
 
 (iii) That discontinuance of the par¬ 
 ticular service will enable the seller to 
 maintain other services more neces- 
 
85 Serv 32:4 
 
 sary to the community directly con¬ 
 cerned; or 
 
 (iv) That other suppliers in the com¬ 
 munity are able and willing to supply the 
 requested service or a similar service in 
 requisite amount and at prices not ex¬ 
 ceeding the ceiling price of the particu- 
 lsii* seller 
 
 (2) A seller refusing to supply a serv¬ 
 ice must, unless otherwise permitted to 
 do so by a general permissive order, cer¬ 
 tify by registered mail, for which a re¬ 
 turn receipt has been requested, to the 
 Director of Price Stabilization, Wash¬ 
 ington 25, D. C., the existence of one or 
 more of the conditions stated in this 
 paragraph. Unless sufficient facts are 
 given to support the certification, the re¬ 
 quest will be denied, without prejudice to 
 an opportunity to the seller to furnish 
 additional evidence. 
 
 (3) Effective date on which a service 
 may be discontinued under this para¬ 
 graph : Unless the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization or his authorized representa¬ 
 tive shall, by notice mailed to the seller 
 within thirty days from the date of the 
 receipt of the certified statement, disap¬ 
 prove the request, the seller may dis¬ 
 continue the service. 
 
 (4) Definition: As used in this para¬ 
 graph, the term “service” means one of 
 the types, forms, grades, or quantities 
 offered for sale in the base period, or 
 since, the description of which is re¬ 
 quired in your statement under section 
 18 of this regulation. 
 
 (f) Cost plus contracts. (1) If you 
 customarily supplied service to a class of 
 purchaser by the use of a cost plus con¬ 
 tract, you may continue to use such a 
 contract, limited to your highest base 
 period fee or percentage, but in figuring 
 your costs you must limit each element 
 of cost to the highest rate or charge 
 you made to the same class of purchaser 
 in the base period. 
 
 (2) Within 10 days after determining 
 the ceiling price under this section you 
 must report the price in writing to the 
 Director of Price Stabilization, Washing¬ 
 ton 25, D. C., explaining how the price 
 was computed and stating your base pe¬ 
 riod charges and method of computation 
 for the supplying of the same service to 
 a purchaser of the same class. 
 
 (g) Flat rate manuals or catalogues. 
 If during the base period you used a 
 flat rate manual to determine your price, 
 you must use the same manual now, 
 and you may not increase the hourly 
 rate you charged in the base period. If 
 you used a catalogue to determine your 
 prices for parts in the base period you 
 may continue to do so now. However, 
 if a specific ceiling price is set by OPS 
 for any item in the catalogue, you may 
 not charge more than such specific ceil¬ 
 ing price. You may not use a new edi¬ 
 tion of such flat rate manual or cat¬ 
 alogue unless its use has been approved 
 by the Director of Price Stabilization, 
 Washington 25, D. C. 
 
 Sec. 13. Transfer of business; moving 
 of business; chains —(a) Transfer. If 
 you acquire a previously established 
 business after May 16, 1951, and you 
 carry on such business in an establish¬ 
 ment separate from an establishment 
 previously owned or operated by you, 
 your ceiling prices shall be the same as 
 those to which your transferor would 
 have been subject if no such transfer 
 
 had taken place, and your obligation to 
 keep records sufficient to verify such 
 prices shall be the same. You must 
 further prepare and preserve (if your 
 transferor has not already done so) and 
 keep up to date the statement required 
 under section 18 of this regulation. 
 Your transferor shall preserve and turn 
 over to you all records of transactions 
 prior to the transfer which are necessary 
 to enable you to comply with the records 
 provisions of this regulation. 
 
 (b) Moving. If you sell services at 
 retail and move the business out of your 
 trading area after May 16, 1951, you 
 must apply to OPS for establishment of 
 your ceiling prices for that unit under 
 section 7 of this regulation except that 
 if you close a selling unit and open an¬ 
 other one in the same trading area, your 
 ceiling prices for the new unit shall be 
 the same as those of the unit you closed. 
 
 Sec. 14. Taxes. If a tax is imposed on 
 a service covered by this regulation and 
 the tax law does not forbid you to pass 
 the tax on to your customers, you may 
 add the tax to your ceiling price in ac¬ 
 cordance with the following provisions: 
 If the tax becomes effective after Jan¬ 
 uary 25, 1951, you may add the tax to 
 your ceiling price if you separately state 
 it. If the tax was in effect in the base 
 period and you were not then supplying 
 the service, you may add the tax to your 
 ceiling price as established under this 
 regulation if such price does not already 
 reflect the tax, if you separately state it. 
 If the tax was in effect in the base period 
 and you were then supplying the service 
 and passing on the tax, you may con¬ 
 tinue to do so; if you separately stated 
 the tax then, you must do so now. If 
 in the base period you did not pass the 
 tax on to your customers, you may not do 
 so now. (“Tax'’ as used in this section 
 also includes a tax increase.) 
 
 Sec. 15. Additional charges. You may 
 not make a higher charge for expediting, 
 packaging, or other incidents of a service 
 than you made in the base period to a 
 purchaser of the same class, nor may 
 you now make any charge for any inci¬ 
 dent of a service if it was not your 
 practice to do so in the base period, 
 unless you are authorized to do so by 
 the Director of Price Stabilization, 
 Washington 25, D. C. You may not re¬ 
 quire a purchaser to pay a larger propor¬ 
 tion of transportation costs incurred in 
 the supply of any service than you re¬ 
 quired a purchaser of the same class to 
 pay during the base period for the same 
 service. Unless authorized by the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization, Washington 
 25, D. C., you may not require a deposit 
 for any reason or make an extra charge 
 for insurance, if you did not do so in the 
 base period, nor may you now increase 
 any such deposit or insurance charge 
 made in the base period. 
 
 Sec. 16. Customary price differentials . 
 Your ceiling .prices, when determined, 
 shall reflect your customary price differ¬ 
 entials, including discounts, allowances, 
 premiums and extras, based upon dif¬ 
 ferences in classes or location of pur¬ 
 chasers, or in terms and conditions of 
 sale or delivery. 
 
 Sec. 17. Sales slips; receipts. If you 
 have customarily given a purchaser a 
 sales slip or receipt, you must continue 
 
 to do so. Upon request by a pur¬ 
 chaser, you must regardless of your pre¬ 
 vious custom, give the purchaser a sales 
 slip or receipt. Such sales slip or receipt 
 must show your name and address, the 
 date, the description and quantity of 
 each service sold, the price charged for 
 each such service, and the price charged 
 for any parts or commodities furnished 
 with the service. 
 
 Sec. 18. Records; filings of statements; 
 posting. You must comply with the fol¬ 
 lowing provisions for keeping price rec¬ 
 ords and for filing statements of your 
 ceiling prices: 
 
 (a) Records. Preserve for examina¬ 
 tion by OPS all records regarding your 
 prices, rates, or pricing methods for serv¬ 
 ices supplied or offered for supply during 
 the base period (or such other period as 
 is specified as your base period) and 
 thereafter. 
 
 (b) Filings of statements. (1) Pre¬ 
 pare and keep for examination by any 
 person during ordinary business hours, 
 a statement of your ceiling prices, rates, 
 or pricing methods for purchasers of 
 each class together with an adequate 
 description of each such service. 
 
 (1) If you have in any case taken 
 the ceiling price of your closest compet¬ 
 itor for any service as your ceiling price, 
 indicate on the statement in every such 
 case the service, the ceiling price, and 
 your closest competitor’s name and ad¬ 
 dress. 
 
 (ii) If your ceiling prices are based 
 upon a flat rate manual or similar pric¬ 
 ing manual or parts catalogue or list, 
 you may (instead of appending it to the 
 statement) clearly identify on the state¬ 
 ment such manual, parts catalogue, or 
 list by name, edition number, and date, 
 indicating the instances in which it was 
 not your practice in the base period to 
 follow it. 
 
 (2) File a duplicate of your statement 
 with the appropriate OPS district office. 
 You may request, if you wish, that the 
 part of your statement insofar as it ap¬ 
 plies to non-retail services which you 
 sell be treated as confidential and not 
 subject to public disclosure. Such part 
 of your statement as shall be so treated 
 will then be withheld from public in¬ 
 spection unless the withholding of the 
 information it contains would be con¬ 
 trary to the purposes of this regulation. 
 You may also withhold from public in¬ 
 spection such part of your statement, 
 insofar as it applies to non-retail serv¬ 
 ices which you sell. 
 
 (3) You must prepare and file such 
 duplicate statement within 30 days of 
 the date that your ceiling price for a 
 service is first established by this regu¬ 
 lation. If you have previously prepared 
 and preserved a statement of your ceil¬ 
 ing prices under the GCPR and its 
 amendments, and your ceiling prices 
 have not changed under this regulation, 
 you must prepare and file such duplicate 
 copy of such statement under this 
 regulation. 
 
 (c) Supplements. You must also pre¬ 
 pare and keep available appropriate sup¬ 
 plements of your statements, and you 
 must file a duplicate copy of each such 
 supplement with the appropriate OPS 
 district office, within 10 days after you 
 have delivered any new service or after 
 any change in your selling price is au¬ 
 thorized by GPS. 
 
85 Serv 32:5 
 
 (d) S'gnatu r e. The^e statements and 
 all supplements thereto must b? signed 
 by you or your authorized agent. 
 
 (e) Exception. If you can show that 
 the requirements of this section subject 
 you to unusual hardship, you may apply 
 to the Director of Price Stabilization, 
 Washington 25, D. C., for written au¬ 
 thorization to depart from these require¬ 
 ments. Such authorization will be given 
 only if it will not be inconsistent with 
 the purposes of this regulation. 
 
 (f) Posting. (1) OPS may require 
 you to post your ceiling prices for any 
 service which you sell at retail whenever 
 it is deemed necessary to the effective 
 enforcement of this regulation. 
 
 (2) If, however, you operate a service 
 establishment making sales at retail, you 
 must, not later than 30 days after the 
 date that your ceiling price for a service 
 is first established by this regulation, 
 post your ceiling prices in a prominent 
 or clearly visible position in your estab¬ 
 lishment. 
 
 Sec. 19. Violation — (a) Civil and crim¬ 
 inal action. If you violate any provisions 
 of this regulation you are subject to the 
 criminal penalties, civil enforcement 
 actions, and suits for treble damages 
 provided by the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950. 
 
 (b) Record-keeping and filing viola¬ 
 tions; failure to establish ceiling price. 
 (1) If you fail to keep the records or 
 statements as required by section 18 
 of this regulation, or if such records or 
 statements or supplements are incorrect 
 or incomplete, or if you fail to apply to 
 OPS for the establishment of a ceiling 
 price under section 7 of this regulation, 
 if you are required to do so, OPS may 
 issue an order establishing a ceiling 
 price for each service you sell in line 
 with prices established by this regula¬ 
 tion. Such order may establish the 
 ceiling price as of the date of the first 
 sale of the service under this regulation. 
 Such order may also require you to 
 give sales slips or receipts to your cus¬ 
 tomers as specified in the order, to re¬ 
 tain copies thereof in your files, and to 
 prepare and keep such records as may 
 be specified in the order. These re¬ 
 quirements will not, however, relieve you 
 of your obligation to comply with the 
 requirements of sections 18 and 7 of this 
 regulation, or of the various penalties for 
 failure to do so. 
 
 (2) The term “ceiling price” as used 
 in this paragraph and in section 18 also 
 includes a ceiling rate or pricing method. 
 
 Sec. 20. Adjustments —(a) General 
 adjustments. OPS may adjust any ceil¬ 
 ing price established under this regula¬ 
 tion upon a demonstration of substan¬ 
 tial financial hardship threatening your 
 ability to continue to supply a service, 
 subject to the following limitations: 
 
 (1) No adjustment will increase your 
 ceiling price above the levels necessary 
 to permit you to continue the sale of 
 your services; 
 
 (2) No adjustment will be made if it 
 will create or tend to create a need for 
 increases in the prices of other sellers 
 in your locality or elsewhere. 
 
 In judging whether a ceiling price sub¬ 
 jects you to substantial financial hard¬ 
 ship, OPS will take into account such 
 pertinent factors as the nature of your 
 business, its earnings, and the earnings 
 
 of your trade as a whole during a repre¬ 
 sentative period. A price increase may 
 be denied in whole or in part, however, 
 if your hardship is attributable to such 
 causes as a decline in sales volume be¬ 
 cause of reduced demand, general man¬ 
 power shortage, shortage of essential 
 supplies, or other difficulties apart from 
 your ceiling price. Even though a par¬ 
 ticular service or type of service is not 
 profitable, an adjustment may be denied 
 in whole or in part if in the judgment 
 of OPS, such action is justified in view 
 of the profitability of your business as 
 a whole. 
 
 (b) Adjustment by buyer-seller agree¬ 
 ment. In order to permit the continu¬ 
 ance of a limited supply of an essential 
 non-retail service, you may, if the buyer 
 agrees to absorb a price increase above 
 your ceiling price for that service, apply 
 to the Director of Price Stabilization, 
 Washington 25, D. C., for permission to 
 increase the price of that service to him 
 by an amount not to exceed direct labor 
 and material cost increases incurred by 
 you since your ceiling price for that serv¬ 
 ice was established. Twenty days after 
 filing under this paragraph for a price 
 increase or supplying such additional in¬ 
 formation as OPS may request, you may 
 charge your increased price unless you 
 are advised by OPS that your application 
 has been denied. The Director of Price 
 Stabilization or any official of OPS hav¬ 
 ing authority to act may at any time deny 
 the application for the price increase in 
 any case where it appears to be incon¬ 
 sistent with the purposes of the Defense 
 Production Act of 1950. 
 
 Sec. 21. Adjustable pricing. Any per¬ 
 son may agree to sell at a price which 
 can be increased up to the ceiling price 
 in effect at the time of delivery; but no 
 person may, unless authorized by OPS, 
 deliver or agree to deliver at prices to be 
 adjusted upward in accordance with ac¬ 
 tion taken by OPS after delivery. Such 
 authorization may be given when a re¬ 
 quest for a change in the applicable ceil¬ 
 ing price is pending, but only if the 
 authorization is necessary to promote 
 distribution or production and if it will 
 not interfere with the purposes of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950. The 
 authorization may be given by the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization or by any 
 official of OPS having authority to act 
 upon the pending request for a change in 
 price or to give the authorization. The 
 authorization will be given by order, ex¬ 
 cept that it may be given by letter or 
 telegram when the contemplated revision 
 will be the granting of an individual ap¬ 
 plication for adjustment. 
 
 Sec. 22. Petitions for amendment. If 
 you seek a change in any provision of 
 this regulation affecting sellers of a serv¬ 
 ice generally, you may file a petition for 
 amendment. 
 
 Sec. 23. Procedures. Petitions for 
 amendment and applications for adjust¬ 
 ment shall be filed in accordance with 
 Price Procedural Regulation No. 1 except 
 that such petitions and applications shall 
 be filed with the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization, Washington 25, D. C. 
 
 Sec. 24. Amendments; supplementary 
 regulations; orders. This regulation 
 may be changed or supplemented at any 
 
 time ly amendments, supplementary 
 regulations, orders, or other appropriate 
 action. 
 
 Sec. 25. Evasion, (a) This regulation 
 shall not be evaded directly or indirectly. 
 
 (b) Any act or practice which results 
 directly or indirectly in obtaining a 
 higher price than is permitted by this 
 regulation is a violation of this regula¬ 
 tion. Such practices include, but are 
 not limited to, devices making use of 
 commissions, cross-sales, transportation 
 arrangements, premiums, discounts or 
 any other price differential, special privi¬ 
 leges, tie-in agreements or combination 
 sales which require the purchaser of a 
 service covered by this regulation to buy 
 or agree to buy any other commodity or 
 service as a condition of receiving the 
 desired service, or trade understandings; 
 deterioration of services; or the practices 
 not justified under section 12 (e) of this 
 regulation. 
 
 Sec. 26. Applicability. This regula¬ 
 tion applies to services supplied in the 
 48 States of the United States and the 
 District of Columbia. 
 
 Sec. 27. Definitions and explanations. 
 (a) When used in this regulation: 
 
 (1) “Appropriate OPS district office” 
 means the district office of the Office of 
 Price Stabilization for the district where 
 your place of business is located and 
 from which your sales are made. 
 
 (2) “Base period” means the period 
 as of which your ceiling prices are fixed 
 under this regulation. 
 
 (3) “Closest competitor” means that 
 seller selling the same service under sub¬ 
 stantially the same conditions who is in 
 close competition with you and is located 
 nearest to you. 
 
 (4) “Commodity.” This term in¬ 
 cludes commodities, materials, articles, 
 products, supplies, components, proc¬ 
 esses and contracts to buy, sell or de¬ 
 liver any of the foregoing. 
 
 (5^ “GCPR” means the General Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation. 
 
 (6) “Non-retail sale” means a sale to 
 an industrial, commercial, or govern¬ 
 mental user. 
 
 (7) “Offered” (as that word is used 
 in connection with price) means the 
 price quoted in your base period price 
 list, or, if you had no price list in the 
 base period, the price which you regu¬ 
 larly quoted in any other manner, or 
 the price determined by your base period 
 rate or pricing method. But “offered” 
 (price) does not include a price intended 
 to withhold a service from the market, 
 or a price you offered as a bargaining 
 price if you usually sold at a price lower 
 than your asking price. 
 
 (8) “OPS” means the Office of Price 
 Stabilization and, for the purposes of 
 authorizing, establishing, adjusting, re¬ 
 vising or disapproving ceiling prices 
 means the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion or any official to whom he by order 
 shall delegate the authority therefor. 
 
 (9) “Person” includes an individual, 
 corporation, partnership, association, or 
 any other organized group of persons, or 
 the legal successor or representative of 
 any of the foregoing, and the United 
 States and any other government and 
 the political subdivisions and agencies 
 of any of the foregoing. 
 
 (10) “Pricing method” is a formula 
 by which you determined a price for a 
 service in the base period which in- 
 
85 Serv 32:6 
 
 eluded a rate, and an item for labor, 
 materials, and mark-up for overhead 
 and profit, or any of such items, whether 
 or not the formula v/as disclosed to the 
 purchaser. Unless the formula included 
 a rate, the figure which resulted from 
 the application of the formula was a 
 flat price (except where the supplying of 
 a service was on a cost-sharing basis). 
 See definition of “rate” in subparagraph 
 
 (12) of this paragraph. 
 
 (11) “Purchaser of the same class’* 
 means a purchaser belonging to the same 
 price class, that is, to a group of pur¬ 
 chasers to whom it was your established 
 practice in the base period to supply or 
 offer to supply the same service at a 
 particular price. If in the base period 
 you customarily supplied or offered to 
 supply the same service to any purchaser 
 at a price different from the price at 
 which you supplied or offered to supply 
 the same service to other purchasers, 
 that purchaser is in a purchaser price 
 class by himself. 
 
 (12) “Rate” is a means of determin¬ 
 ing a price by multiplying the time in¬ 
 volved in supplying a service by a fixed 
 charge per unit of time, or by multiply¬ 
 ing the price of the commodity involved 
 by a fixed percentage. 
 
 (13) - “Records” includes but is not 
 limited to, books of account, sales lists, 
 sales slips, orders, vouchers, contracts, 
 receipts, invoices, bills of lading, and 
 any other papers and documents relating 
 to your prices. 
 
 (14) “Rental” means any leasing of a 
 commodity except where the lease is a 
 substitute for a conditional sales con¬ 
 tract, chattel mortgage, or other security 
 device in connection with an installment 
 sale, or except where the lease contains 
 a provision giving the lessee an option to 
 buy the leased commodity at a stipulated 
 price from which all or a portion of the 
 payments made as rent are to be de¬ 
 ducted. 
 
 (15) “Season” means any division of 
 the year into periods of at least 14 con¬ 
 secutive days for pricing purposes, such 
 division being based upon regular and 
 recurrent differences in demand for or 
 supply of the service. 
 
 (16) “Sell” or “supply” includes sell, 
 rent, supply, dispose, barter, exchange, 
 transfer, deliver, and contracts and of¬ 
 fers to do any of the foregoing. The 
 term “sale”, “supply”, “selling”, “sup¬ 
 plying”, “sold”, “supplied”, “seller”, 
 “supplier”, “buy”, “purchase”, shall be 
 construed accordingly. 
 
 (17) “Service” or “services” means 
 any act or acts performed or rendered, 
 otherwise than as an employee, for a 
 fee, charge or other consideration. The 
 term includes any privilege sold or 
 granted, or any forbearance to act, for 
 a fee, charge or other consideration. 
 The term also includes the rental of any 
 commodity or service if the rental charge 
 is not covered by another ceiling price 
 regulation and has not been exempted 
 from price control. 
 
 (18) “You” means a person and refers 
 to any seller or supplier subject to this 
 regulation. If you supply services 
 through more than one place of business,

 MISCELLANEOUS AMENDMENTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive 
 Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Eco¬ 
 nomic Stabilization Agency General 
 • Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Amend¬ 
 ment 1 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 1 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 clarifies and amplifies that 
 ceiling price regulation. Sections 12 (d), 
 13 (a), 13 (b), 13 (c), 18, 18 (b) (1) and 
 18 (g) (newl have been the subject of 
 miscellaneous clarifying amendments. 
 Section 5 (a) (2) is amended to provide 
 that an offer in writing to supply a serv¬ 
 ice in the base period may be evidenced 
 by a written invoice made prior to the 
 base period but after December 31, 
 1949. An addition to section 20 (a) 
 has been made prescribing the in¬ 
 formation required, by way of a form 
 or otherwise, from a supplier who may 
 seek a general adjustment of his ceiling 
 price. Section 20 (b) is implemented by 
 the introduction of a new adjustment 
 paragraph (c), which permits a pur¬ 
 chaser of non-retail services who agrees 
 to absorb the increased price charged to 
 him by his sellers, who are threatening 
 to discontinue the supplying of those 
 services and who are too numerous to 
 make practicable any recourse to an ad¬ 
 justment of that price by a buyer-seller 
 agreement under paragraph (b), to make 
 an application to the Director of Price 
 Stabilization to pay his sellers as much 
 as but no more than the price he would 
 be required to pay other supplying 
 sources for such services. 
 
 Section 26 is amended, so that the pro¬ 
 visions of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 are made applicable to the territories 
 and possessions as of the effective date of 
 this amendment. The territories and 
 possessions were excluded from that 
 regulation, as issued, because the supple¬ 
 mentary regulations to be issued under 
 such Ceiling Price Regulation 34 were 
 to be tailored to conditions existing in 
 the economy of the continental United 
 States and, therefore, not necessarily 
 suitable to the needs of the territories 
 and possessions. It has now been deter- 
 | \ mined that there will be two series of 
 f) supplementary regulations issued under 
 such Ceiling Price Regulation 34, one 
 applicable to the continental United 
 States, and the other to the territories 
 
 and possessions. The latter will be 
 labeled “Territorial Supplementary Reg¬ 
 ulations”. The filing date in section 18 
 for the listed territories and possessions 
 will, of course, be computed only from 
 the effective date of this amendment. 
 
 The technical nature and routine 
 character of the provisions of this 
 amendment made it unnecessary to 
 consult formally with industry repre¬ 
 sentatives, although wherever feasible 
 various representatives from service 
 fields were informally consulted and con¬ 
 sideration was given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. In the judgment of the 
 Director of Price Stabilization the pro¬ 
 visions of this regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 is amended 
 in the following respects: 
 
 1. Subparagraph (2) of paragraph (a) 
 of section 5 is amended by adding after 
 the first sentence thereof the following: 
 “Such an offer in writing must be one 
 made in the base period or be evidenced 
 by an invoice made prior thereto but 
 after December 31, 1949.” 
 
 2. The second sentence of paragraph 
 (d) of section 12 is amended by striking 
 “class” and inserting in the place there¬ 
 of “category”, and as amended to read as 
 follows: “However, if you followed the 
 practice of maintaining individually 
 negotiated prices, the ceiling price to a 
 new purchaser is the arithmetic average 
 of your base period ceiling prices to pur¬ 
 chasers of the same category for the 
 same service.” 
 
 3. Paragraph (a) of section 13 is 
 amended by striking therefrom “May 16, 
 1951” and inserting in the place thereof 
 “January 25, 1951”. 
 
 4. Paragraph (b) of section 13 is 
 amended to read as follows: 
 
 (b) Moving. If you sell services at re¬ 
 tail and move the business out of your 
 trading area after January 25, 1951, you 
 must apply to OPS for establishment of 
 your ceiling prices under section 7 of this 
 regulation. If you move the business in 
 the same trading area you must keep the 
 same ceiling prices. 
 
 5. A new paragraph (c) is added to 
 section 13 to read as follows: 
 
 (c) Chains. If you operate one or 
 more selling units and you open a new 
 unit after January 25, 1951, you must 
 apply to OPS for establishment of your 
 ceiling prices for that unit under sec¬ 
 tion 7 of this regulation, except that if 
 you close a selling unit and open another 
 one in the same trading area, your ceil¬ 
 
 ing prices for the new unit shall be the 
 same as those of the unit you closed. 
 
 6. The title of section 18 is amended by 
 striking the period after “posting” in 
 line 2 and inserting in the place thereof 
 a semicolon followed by “reports”, and as 
 amended to read as follows: 
 
 Sec. 18. Records; filings of statements; 
 posting; reports. 
 
 7. Subparagraph (1) of paragraph (f) 
 of section 18 is amended by striking the 
 phrase “at retail” in line 3, and as 
 amended to read as follows: 
 
 (f) Posting. (1) OPS may require 
 you to post your ceiling prices for any 
 service which you sell whenever it is 
 deemed necessary to the effective en¬ 
 forcement of this regulation. 
 
 8. A new paragraph (g) is added to 
 section 18 to read as follows: 
 
 (g) Reports. The Director of Price 
 Stabilization may from time to time re¬ 
 quire reports and information subject to 
 the approval of the Bureau of the Budget 
 under the Federal Reports Act of 1942. 
 Such reports must be filed with the Office 
 of Price Stabilization, Washington 25, 
 D. C., or with the appropriate OPS dis¬ 
 trict office if you are instructed to do so, 
 at such time, in such form and in accord¬ 
 ance with such instructions as shall be 
 required or approved. 
 
 9. Paragraph (a) of section 20 is 
 amended by adding at the end thereof 
 the following: 
 
 You may apply to the Director of Price 
 Stabilization, Washington 25, D. C., for 
 an adjustment under this paragraph 
 pursuant to the form listed below which 
 is applicable to the services you supply: 
 
 (i) If you are a seller of automotive, 
 farm implement, appliance or other 
 repair services priced by a customers' 
 hourly rate, you must complete and file, 
 in duplicate, with the Director, OPS 
 Public Form No. 42. 
 
 (ii) If you are a seller of any services 
 other than those provided for in sub¬ 
 division (i) above, you must complete 
 and file, in duplicate, with the Director, 
 OPS Public Form No. 43 and such other 
 data as may be required thereby. 
 
 (iii) Should OPS Public Forms Nos. 
 42 or 43 be considered by OPS to be in¬ 
 appropriate for a particular applicant, 
 OPS may require, as a condition for 
 applying for an adjustment hereunder, 
 that the applicant furnish to the Direc¬ 
 tor the information OPS may prescribe. 
 
 10. A new paragraph (c) is added to 
 section 20 to read as follows: 
 
 (c) Application bp purchaser who 
 buys services from numerous sellers. If a 
 purchaser buys non-retail services from 
 sellers who are too numerous to make 
 recourse to paragraph (b) of this section 
 
 / 
 
85 Serv 32:8 
 
 practicable and who are threatening to 
 discontinue supplying him with such 
 services, the purchaser may, if he agrees 
 to absorb the price increase above the 
 ceiling, apply to the Director of Price 
 Stabilization, Washington 25, D. C., for 
 permission to pay to his sellers for the 
 supplying of such services as much as 
 but no more than he would be required to 
 pay other suppliers therefor. Such letter 
 should show the nature and extent of the 
 sellers’ cost increases, and, where prac¬ 
 ticable the names and addresses of the 
 sellers and the ceiling prices of each. A 
 price increase under this paragraph may 
 
 not becomes effective until the applicant 
 is advised in writing of OPS approval, 
 which will be given only where it is clear 
 that there is no practicable recourse to 
 paragraph (b) of this section, and where 
 granting such approval will not be in¬ 
 consistent with the purposes of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 11. Section 26 is amended to read as 
 follows: 
 
 Sec. 26. Applicability. This regula¬ 
 tion applies to services supplied in the 
 48 States of the United States, the Dis¬ 
 trict of Columbia, and Alaska, Guam, 
 
 Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Samoa and the 
 Virgin Islands. 
 
 Effective date. This Amendment 1 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 is effective 
 August 25, 1951.

 ADJUSTMENTS OF CEILING PRICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 as amended, Executive Order 10161 
 (15 P. R. 61 OS), and Economic Stabili¬ 
 zation Agency General Order No. 2 (16 
 P. R. 738), this Amendment 2 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment states the’basis for 
 granting individual adjustments in ceil¬ 
 ing prices to those engaged in the service 
 trades subject to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34, including, particularly, the acfi- 
 justments required by section 402 (d) 
 (4) of the Defense Production Act of 
 1950, as amended. It also provides that 
 henceforth such applications (with cer¬ 
 tain exceptions) are to be filed in the 
 District Office of OPS rather than in 
 the National Office of OPS as was previ¬ 
 ously the case. The field offices are be¬ 
 ing authorized to act upon such appli¬ 
 cations which will pertain primarily to 
 the furnishing of local services to non¬ 
 industrial consumers. 
 
 Applications for adjustment in certain 
 cases will continue to be filed in the Na¬ 
 tional Office of OPS. Such applications 
 will include* those made by persons en¬ 
 gaged in the service trades whose busi¬ 
 ness activities cross the boundaries of 
 OPS regions or whose business activities 
 may involve OPS regulatory policies em¬ 
 bodied in regulations other than Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. Perhaps the most 
 important category of applications re¬ 
 quired to be filed in the National Office 
 of OPS are applications pertaining to 
 services supplied or sold in direct con¬ 
 nection with industrial, manufacturing 
 or agricultural activities. 
 
 OPS experience with the service trades 
 under this regulation and with numer¬ 
 ous service establishments seeking re¬ 
 lief, highlights the unusual cost account¬ 
 ing difficulties peculiar to the service 
 trades governed by CPR 34. Typical 
 service establishments covered by Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 are laundries, 
 cleaning and dyeing plants, garment re¬ 
 pair shops, radio and television repair 
 services, automobile repair shops and 
 home electrical and appliance repair 
 shops. It would be extremely difficult 
 for most of these service establishments 
 to make the computations of cost in¬ 
 creases or decreases in the manner pre¬ 
 scribed by the so-called Capehart 
 Amendment, i. e., section 402 (d) (4) 
 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 
 WASHINGTON 
 
 as amended. After careful evaluation, 
 it is the opinion of the Director of Price 
 Stabilization that the provisions of sec¬ 
 tion 20 (a) of this regulation, as amend¬ 
 ed, generally afford so-called Capehart 
 relief to the fullest practicable extent. 
 This amendment provides, nevertheless, 
 that if someone in a service trade cov¬ 
 ered by CPR 34 believes that he can 
 show that he is entitled to a further 
 increase in ceiling prices under the so- 
 called Capehart Amendment, he is to in¬ 
 form OPS fully of all the circumstances 
 and make a full showing so that appro¬ 
 priate study may be given the matter 
 by OPS. 
 
 The general standard in this amend¬ 
 ment provides for an adjustment where 
 the ceiling prices established by the reg¬ 
 ulation impair the applicant’s normal 
 representative pre-Korean earnings to 
 such an extent that the effective opera¬ 
 tion of his service business is threat¬ 
 ened. The implementation of this gen¬ 
 eral standard requires an analysis of 
 the particular industry and service es¬ 
 tablishment involved. The OPS will 
 consider such significant facts as the 
 nature of the industry and the size and 
 characteristics of typical service estab¬ 
 lishments in the industry, as well as of 
 the applicant’s establishment. OPS will 
 consider also whether the applicant is 
 engaged solely in rendering the services 
 for which he seeks an adjustment, or 
 whether he also sells commodities or 
 other services. Likewise, the OPS will 
 consider whether the industry, of which 
 the applicant’s establishment is a part, 
 is a relatively self-cohtained industry 
 or is closely related to a larger industry 
 where the service is, for example, part 
 of the production or the preparation 
 for market of a commodity. 
 
 In many service trades, particularly 
 those who supply services to nonindus¬ 
 trial consumers, many persons operate 
 with very modest, if any, financial re¬ 
 serves and employ relatively few employ¬ 
 ees. These important facts also will be 
 taken into account. In addition, this 
 amendment takes into account the spe¬ 
 cial problems of very small businesses, 
 including the sketchiness of their records. 
 
 The technical nature of the provisions 
 of this amendment made it impracticable 
 to consult formally with industry repre¬ 
 sentatives, although various representa¬ 
 tives from the service trades were in¬ 
 formally consulted and consideration was 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 20 (a) of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 is amended to read as follows: 
 
 (a) Adjustments in general. OPS will 
 adjust your ceiling price upon a showing 
 that your ceiling prices impair your nor¬ 
 mal earnings, in a representative pre- 
 Korean period, to such an extent that the 
 
 effective operation of your service busi¬ 
 ness is threatened. 
 
 In considering applications for adjust¬ 
 ment under this section, and the extent, 
 if any, to which relief should be granted, 
 OPS will, so far as pertinent, take into 
 account, among other things: Your post- 
 Korean increases and decreases in cost; 
 the earnings of your services business as 
 well as the earnings of youf entire busi¬ 
 ness operation; the extent to which the 
 impairment of yOur pre-Korean earnings 
 results from non-recurring factors such 
 as flood, fire, strike; change in sales vol¬ 
 ume ; the nature and size of your firm or 
 company and of the service trade of 
 which it is a part; whether the service? 
 supplied or sold by you are a necessary 
 part of the production of a commodity 
 or of the preparation of a raw material 
 for marketing; whether your ceiling price 
 is established by a regulation supple¬ 
 mentary to Ceiling Price Regulation 34; 
 and whether the records upon which you 
 rely to support your showing of impair¬ 
 ment of earnings are reasonable and ade¬ 
 quate for a business of your size in your 
 service trade.. 
 
 If you prove to the satisfaction of the 
 OPS that you are entitled to relief un¬ 
 der this adjustment provision, but, be¬ 
 cause of the extremely small volume of 
 your business, you cannot establish 
 clearly the extent of the impairment of 
 your pre-Korean earnings, OPS may take 
 into account the ceiling prices and un¬ 
 derlying costs for substantially the same 
 services sold or supplied by others in 
 your area. 
 
 (1) Except under the circumstances 
 listed or described in subparagraph (2) 
 of this paragraph, you must file your 
 application, in duplicate, on OPS Public 
 Form Pub43, Revised, with the OPS 
 District Office for the district in which 
 your place of business is located. In 
 addition to the information required of 
 you by OPS Public Form Pub43, Revised, 
 OPS may request such other information 
 as may be found necessary in consider¬ 
 ing your application. The authority to 
 act upon your application is being dele¬ 
 gated to the OPS Regional Offices, with 
 power to redelegate this authority to the 
 OPS District Offices. 
 
 (2) You must file your application on 
 OPS Public Form Pub43, Revised, in 
 duplicate, with the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization, Washington 25, D. C., if you 
 sell or supply any services, subject to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, which are 
 listed or described below: 
 
 (i) Any services supplied by a person 
 whose business (services, and other busi¬ 
 ness) normally is carried on in more 
 than one OPS region. 
 
 (ii) Any services rendered to manu¬ 
 facturing or industrial establishments 
 which are either a necessary part in the 
 production of a commodity or are useful 
 
85 Serv 32:10 
 
 or necessary in the preparation of-a raw 
 material for marketing. 
 
 (iii) Any services rendered on food or 
 agricultural commodities. 
 
 (iv) Royalty arrangements of any 
 kind. 
 
 (v) Services of selling agents, brokers 
 or auctioneers. 
 
 (vi) Real property management serv* 
 ices. 
 
 (vii) Banking services. 
 
 (viii) Admissions to athletic and sport¬ 
 ing events. 
 
 (ix) Non-exempt services performed 
 or supplied by public utility and common 
 carrier corporations, their lessees, con¬ 
 cessionaires or assigns (such as parking 
 facilities, locker facilities, installation of 
 gas and electric ranges). 
 
 (x) Warehouse facilities. 
 
 (xi) Dock and terminal facilities. 
 
 If some of the services you sell or sup¬ 
 ply are listed or described in this sub- 
 paragraph and some of the services you 
 sell or supply are not so listed or de¬ 
 scribed, you must file your application 
 for adjustment for all of the services 
 which you sell or supply with the Office 
 of Price Stabilization, Washington 25, 
 D. C. 
 
 In addition to the information re¬ 
 quired of you by OPS Public Form 
 
 Pub43, Revised, OPS may request such 
 additional information as may be found 
 necessary in considering your applica¬ 
 tion. 
 
 (3) Because of inherent cost account¬ 
 ing problems peculiar to the various 
 service trades, exact determination of 
 cost increases or decreases under section 
 402 (d) (4) of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, would impose 
 an insuperable difficulty upon the service 
 trades. Generally, the provisions of this 
 section, other than this subparagraph, 
 will afford, to the fullest practicable ex¬ 
 tent, the relief permitted by section 402 
 (d) (4) of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended. If, however, you 
 believe that such other provisions of this 
 section do not afford you an adjustment 
 which permits as much of a ceiling price 
 increase as you are entitled to under 
 section 402 (d) (4) of the Defense Pro¬ 
 duction Act of 1950, as amended, you 
 may write and make a full showing to 
 the Office of Price Stabilization, Wash¬ 
 ington 25, D. C., stating the relief to 
 which you believe you are entitled and 
 the reasons for your belief. You should 
 also state the relief you have previously 
 received under this section and the rea¬ 
 sons why you believe that such relief is 
 not sufficient; whether you have an ap¬ 
 plication pending before OPS for relief 
 
 under any other provision of this section, 
 and if so, the date of filing and the 
 address of the OPS office with which you 
 filed the application. You should also 
 supply all of the reports required by 
 General Overriding Regulation 20 or 
 General Overriding Regulation 21, 
 whichever by its terms would be appli¬ 
 cable to your business if services covered 
 by Ceiling Price Regulation 34 were not 
 exempt from those regulations. 
 
 (4) Any application filed prior to 
 January 14, 1952 will be given due con¬ 
 sideration in accordance with the stand¬ 
 ards provided in this section, as 
 amended. Accordingly, you need not re¬ 
 vise such application. If supplementary 
 information is necessary you will be ad¬ 
 vised by OPS in due course.

 ADJUSTMENT OF CEILING PRICES FOR NEW 
 SERVICE SELLERS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 as amended. Executive Order 10161 (15 
 P. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 P. R. 
 738), this Amendment 3 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 3 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 provides that ceiling 
 prices for services supplied by sellers, 
 without normal earnings experience in 
 the pre-Korean period because they have 
 been in business a relatively short time, 
 may be adjusted upon a showing of fi¬ 
 nancial hardship under section 20 (a) of 
 that regulation. Before Amendment 2 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 became 
 effective on January 14, 1952, sellers re¬ 
 gardless of when they entered into busi¬ 
 ness, could apply for relief under this 
 section upon a demonstration of substan¬ 
 
 tial financial hardship threatening their 
 ability to continue to supply a service. 
 By Amendment 2 to Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 34, section 20 (a) was revised so 
 that it appeared to apply to only those 
 suppliers of services who had suffered an 
 impairment of normal earnings in a rep¬ 
 resentative pre-Korean period. This 
 amendment clearly restores the broader 
 scope to section 20 (a). 
 
 In order to qualify for relief under this 
 amendment the seller of services must 
 show first, that he had no normal earn¬ 
 ings in a representative pre-Korean pe¬ 
 riod because his service business is rela¬ 
 tively new. It must also appear, if the 
 facts can be reasonably ascertained, that 
 his present ceiling prices for services are 
 below the prevailing level for such serv¬ 
 ices in his trading area. Finally, the ap¬ 
 plicant must show that his ceiling prices 
 are causing or will cause him to operate 
 his service business at a loss. 
 
 The technical nature and routine 
 character of the provisions of this 
 amendment made it impracticable to 
 consult formally with industry repre¬ 
 sentatives, although wherever feasible 
 various representatives from service 
 fields were informally consulted and con¬ 
 sideration was given to their recommen¬ 
 dations. In the judgment of the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilzation the provi¬ 
 sions of this regulation are generally fair 
 
 and equitable and are necessary to ef¬ 
 fectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 20 (a) of Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 34, as amended, is further amend¬ 
 ed by adding after the first sentence 
 thereof, the following: “OPS will also ad¬ 
 just your ceiling prices upon a showing 
 that you had no normal earnings, in a 
 representative pre-Korean period, be¬ 
 cause your service business is relatively 
 new; that your ceiling prices are below 
 the prevailing level of ceiling prices for 
 the same services in your trading area; 
 and that because of the level of your ceil¬ 
 ing prices, your service business is, or will 
 soon be, operated at a loss.”

 MODIFICATION OF POSTING REQUIREMENTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment 4 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34, as amended, amends sec¬ 
 tion 18 (f) (2) of that regulation to re¬ 
 quire all service establishments making 
 sales at retail to post, on an official poster 
 supplied by the Office of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation, a list of the ceiling prices of its 
 principal services. This amendment also 
 modifies the existing requirement that 
 service suppliers post all ceiling prices, 
 by requiring such suppliers to keep avail¬ 
 able for public inspection, either on ad¬ 
 ditional posters or in separate lists, the 
 ceiling prices of additional services which 
 are offered for sale. 
 
 Service establishments making sales at 
 retail which were doing business during 
 the base period December 19, 1950 to 
 January 25, 1951, inclusive or which 
 commenced doing business prior to May 
 16, 1951, were required by CPR 34 to file 
 a list of their ceiling prices with the Dis¬ 
 trict Office of tne Office of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation and to post such ceiling prices 
 on or before June 15, 1951. New service 
 businesses and sellers of new services 
 were also required to post and file their 
 
 ceiling prices within thirty days of the 
 date that the ceiling price for the service 
 was established by this regulation. In¬ 
 formal surveys of service establishments 
 by representatives of the Office of Price 
 Stabilization has shown a lack of uni¬ 
 formity with respect to the size of post¬ 
 ing, the subject matter covered, and the 
 visual accessibility to the purchaser of 
 the posted ceiling prices, In accordance 
 with a basic program of price stabiliza¬ 
 tion, the Director has determined that in 
 order to apprise purchasers of services 
 subject to Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 that modification of the posting require¬ 
 ments as contained in section 18 (f) (2) 
 is necessary and thus is providing offi¬ 
 cial posters upon which sellers may list 
 the ceiling prices of their most repre¬ 
 sentative services, these posters be prom¬ 
 inently displayed in the service estab¬ 
 lishment where it can be easily seen and 
 read by the customers. 
 
 The numerous and diverse establish¬ 
 ments which will be affected by this 
 amendment have made it impracticable 
 to consult formally with Industry Ad¬ 
 visory Committees including trade asso¬ 
 ciation representatives, however, the Di¬ 
 rector has given consideration to in¬ 
 formal recommendations from various 
 service trades. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director the 
 provisions of this regulation are gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and are neces¬ 
 sary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as amend¬ 
 ed, is further amended in the following 
 respects: 
 
 1. Section 18 (f) (2) is amended to 
 read as follows: 
 
 If you operate a service establishment 
 making sales at retail, you must, not 
 
 later than 7 days after you receive an 
 official OPS poster, post your ceiling 
 prices for your principal services on such 
 official poster in a prominent place in 
 your service establishment where it can 
 easily be seen and read by your cus- 
 tioners. In the event you do not receive 
 an official poster, you must, not later 
 than November 26, 1952, or 30 days after 
 the date your ceiling price for a service 
 is first established by this regulation, 
 whichever is later, obtain an official 
 poster from your OPS District Office and 
 post your ceiling prices in accordance 
 with this section. Ceiling prices for ad¬ 
 ditional services must be kept readily 
 available for public inspection at your 
 place of business. You may use either 
 additional posters or separate lists 
 identifying each service and ceiling 
 price. 
 
 2. Section 18 (f) is further amended 
 by adding new subparagraph (3) which 
 reads as follows: 
 
 (3) If a poster is mutilated or becomes 
 badly soiled or otherwise damaged, it 
 must be replaced by a new one which 
 may be obtained from your OPS District 
 Office. Erasures or changes in ceiling 
 prices listed on the poster, excepted to 
 correct clerical or arithmetical errors are 
 prohibited, unless authorized by OPS.

 BASE PERIOD CONTRACTS FOR DELIVERY AT 
 INCREASED PRICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 5 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment changes the cut-off 
 date for allowing recognition of con¬ 
 tracts for increased prices under section 
 12 (a) of CPR 34. This section has pro¬ 
 vided, in part, that if in the base period 
 a seller announced in writing an increase 
 in his prices for a service to his classes 
 of customers generally but did not de¬ 
 liver the service at the increased price 
 to any of the purchasers supplied in 
 the base period because he was bound 
 under contracts made before the an¬ 
 nouncement in writing of the increase, 
 then the seller could institute the in¬ 
 crease at the expiration of each old con¬ 
 tract if new contracts for future delivery 
 of the service at the increased prices 
 were entered into prior to December 19, 
 1950. This critical December 19, 1950 
 date is now changed to January 26, 1951. 
 
 The purpose of including this provi¬ 
 sion in section 12 (a) was to permit 
 sellers to use increased prices at which 
 
 they did not actually deliver during the 
 base period but at which they would 
 have delivered had they not been bound 
 by contractual commitment. It is an 
 exception to the pricing rules of section 
 5 of the regulation which require a seller 
 to establish his ceiling prices for a serv¬ 
 ice on the basis, generally, of the highest 
 price at which he supplied the service 
 during the December 19, 1950 through 
 January 25, 1951 base period. At the 
 time section 12 (a) was formulated the 
 Director determined, in the light of the 
 rapid raise of prices during the months 
 of December, 1950 and January, 1951, 
 that the section 12 (a) exception to the 
 provisions of section 5 should be restrict¬ 
 ed by the requirement of the seller hav¬ 
 ing made the contracts before December 
 19, 1950. This was to prevent the possi¬ 
 bility of letting in under this exception 
 any price increases which were an¬ 
 nounced by the seller in order to gain 
 a price advantage in anticipation of the 
 issuance of ceiling price regulations. 
 
 Experience under CPR 34 indicates, 
 however, that the purpose of the section 
 can be attained without rigidly exclud¬ 
 ing those sellers who entered into their 
 future delivery contracts between De¬ 
 cember 19, 1950, and January 25, 1951, 
 inclusive. There are many sellers who 
 in good faith announced price increases 
 during the base period, were not able to 
 deliver at the higher price immediately 
 because of prior contractual obligations, 
 but did contract during the base period 
 for future delivery at the increased 
 prices. The Director has concluded that 
 the provisions of section 12 (a) should be 
 amended to permit the sellers who 
 entered into such future delivery con¬ 
 
 tracts prior to January 26, 1951, to use 
 the increased prices for the services if 
 they are able to meet the other condi¬ 
 tions of the amended portion of section 
 12 (a). 
 
 In view of the nature of this amend¬ 
 ment, consultation with industry repre¬ 
 sentatives, including trade association 
 representatives, has been impracticable. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 The last unnumbered paragraph of 
 section 12 (a) of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 is amended to read as follows: 
 
 If, however, in the base period you an¬ 
 nounced in writing an increase in your 
 prices for a service to your classes of pur¬ 
 chasers generally, but you did not deliver 
 the service at the increased price to any 
 of the purchasers whom you supplied in 
 the base period because you were bound 
 under contracts made before the an¬ 
 nouncement in writing of that price in¬ 
 crease, and you did enter into new con¬ 
 tracts for future delivery of the service 
 at the increased price prior to January 
 26, 1951, and all such new contracts pro¬ 
 vided for delivery at the increased price, 
 then at the expiration of each old con¬ 
 tract you may institute the announced 
 price increase, adjusted to reflect the 
 customary differential in prices among 
 your classes of purchasers.

 ACQUIRING A BUSINESS OR SUPPLYING SERV¬

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 6 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Section 13 (a) is being amended to 
 clarify its scope and purposes. As the 
 section was previously written it was 
 clear that where there had been a volun¬ 
 tary transfer of a previously established 
 service business such a transfer was sub¬ 
 ject to the provisions of section 13 (a) 
 and the transferee was therefore gov¬ 
 erned by the ceiling prices applicable to 
 the transferor. Section 13 (a), which 
 deals with th6 acquisition of a previously 
 established service business establish¬ 
 ment, thus generally preserved to the 
 classes of purchasers at that establish¬ 
 ment the same services without any in¬ 
 crease in their ceiling prices. It was 
 also recognized that a mere formal break 
 in the chain of direct transfer should not 
 be allowed to become an easy way for 
 bringing about ar- increase in those ceil¬ 
 ing prices. Accordingly, the section also 
 was considered to apply to a seller who 
 acquired such a business by means other 
 than by way of direct transfer from its 
 previous owner. For example: Landlord 
 A rented a vacant lot to tenant B for 
 a period from January 1, 1950, to Decem¬ 
 ber 31, 1951. During the base period of 
 December 19, 1950, to January 25, 1951, 
 inclusive, B operated this lot as a parking 
 lot and established ceiling prices for his 
 parking lot services under section 5 of 
 this regulation. On the expiration of 
 this lease Landlord A rented the lot. 
 effective January 1, 1952, to tenant C. 
 Under such or similar circumstances C 
 was considered to have acquired B’s 
 parking lot business and B’s ceiling prices 
 for parking lot services. Because, how¬ 
 ever, of questions raised as to the rea¬ 
 sonableness of applying the language of 
 
 section 13 <a) to such a situation, that 
 section is now amended to make plain 
 that acquisitions of a previously estab¬ 
 lished business whether with or without 
 privity of contract are governed by the 
 section. 
 
 Section 13 (a), however, does not apply 
 under circumstances which demonstrate 
 that there is no substantial continuity 
 in the operation of substantially the 
 same kind of service business at the 
 establishment. For example, purchaser 
 X buys a parking lot business from Y 
 on May 1, 1952. Between May 1, 1952, 
 and October 13, 1952, X operates an open 
 air fruit and vegetable market at this 
 parking lot location. Thereafter if X 
 discontinues the operation of this mar¬ 
 ket and establishes a parking lot busi¬ 
 ness, his ceiling prices for parking serv¬ 
 ices will be determined by the applicable 
 sections of this regulation other than 
 section 13 (a). 
 
 This amendment also clarifies the reg¬ 
 ulation by expressly stating the method 
 of establishing new ceiling prices if the 
 ceiling prices of the previously estab¬ 
 lished service business are not on file in 
 the OPS district office, and the person 
 carrying on the business has not ob¬ 
 tained the records necessary to establish 
 the ceiling prices of the previously estab¬ 
 lished service business. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization this amendment is 
 generally fair and equitable and is nec¬ 
 essary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended. 
 
 In view of the clarifying nature of this 
 amendment, special circumstances have 
 rendered consultation with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, including trade association 
 representatives, impracticable. 
 
 amendatory provisions 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as 
 amended, is further amended as follows: 
 
 1. The title of section 13 is amended 
 to read as follows: 
 
 Sec. 13. Acquiring a business or sup¬ 
 plying services previously supplied by 
 another person at the same business 
 establishment; moving of business; 
 chains. 
 
 2. Paragraph (a) of section 13, as 
 amended, is further amended to read as 
 follows: 
 
 (a) Acquiring a business or supply¬ 
 ing services previously supplied by an¬ 
 other person at the same business estab¬ 
 
 lishment. G) If, after January 25, 1951, 
 you acquire a previously established 
 service business and you carry on such 
 business in an establishment separate 
 from an establishment previously owned 
 or operated by you, or if, after January 
 25, 1951, you carry on a service busi¬ 
 ness, at such a separate establishment, 
 similar to a service business which 
 within a reasonable period prior thereto 
 had been carried on by another person 
 at such a separate establishment, your 
 ceiling prices for the services you supply 
 at such a separate. establishment shall 
 be the same as those previously in effect 
 for such services at that establishment, 
 and your obligation to keep records suffi¬ 
 cient to verify such prices shall also be 
 the same. You must further prepare 
 and preserve (if that has not already 
 been done for this establishment) and 
 keep up to date the statement required 
 under section 18 of this regulation. The 
 person from whom you acquire the busi¬ 
 ness or the last person that carried on 
 such a previously established business 
 shall preserve and turn over to you all 
 records of transactions he may have with 
 respect to that business which are neces¬ 
 sary to enable you to comply with the 
 records provisions of this regulation. 
 
 (2) If you cannot obtain such records, 
 and if the ceiling prices of the previously 
 established service business are not on 
 file in your OPS district office, you may 
 apply for new ceiling prices under sec¬ 
 tion 7 of this regulation. In addition to 
 the information otherwise required by 
 that section, your application must con¬ 
 tain the trade name and address of the 
 previously established service business 
 and a statement that you cannot obtain 
 such records. If your ceiling prices are 
 established under section 7 of this regu¬ 
 lation for the reason stated above, OPS 
 may change them to the ceiling prices 
 of the previously established service busi¬ 
 ness when ascertained.

 FILING OF APPLICATIONS FOR ADJUSTMENT 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment deletes from the list 
 of services for which ceiling price ad¬ 
 justment applications must be filed with 
 the National Office of OPS rather than 
 the OPS District Office the following: 
 services rendered on food or agricultural 
 commodities; services of selling agents, 
 brokers or auctioneers; real property 
 management services; banking services; 
 admissions to athletic and sporting 
 events; non-exempt services rendered by 
 public utility and common carrier cor¬ 
 porations, their lessees, concessionaires 
 or assigns; and dock and terminal fa¬ 
 cilities. The result is that all applica¬ 
 tions for adjustments of ceiling prices 
 under section 20 (a) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 must be filed with the ap¬ 
 propriate OPS District Office, except in 
 the following cases: Where the service 
 is supplied by a person whose business 
 normally is carried on in more than one 
 OPS region; where the service is ren¬ 
 dered to manufacturing or industrial 
 establishments which are either a nec¬ 
 essary part in the production of a com¬ 
 modity or are useful or necessary in the 
 preparation of a raw material for mar¬ 
 keting; royalty arrangements of any 
 kind, and warehouse facilities. The re¬ 
 quirement that applications must be filed 
 with the National Office if any one or 
 
 more of the services sold or supplied by 
 the applicant are required to be filed with 
 the National Office is unchanged. 
 
 It is the policy of the Office of Price 
 Stabilization to delegate to the field of¬ 
 fices the duty of acting on applications 
 by sellers wherever it is possible to do so. 
 Ordinarily, the field office is better 
 aware of local problems and situations 
 than is the National Office, and it is 
 usually more convenient for the seller to 
 deal with a nearby office than with 
 Washington, D. C. In most cases it is 
 more efficient for both the seller and the 
 Office of Price Stabilization if the field 
 office can process applications. On the 
 other hand, some matters by their na¬ 
 ture require analysis and other process¬ 
 ing by experts generally not available 
 among the small staff of a District Of¬ 
 fice. Other matters involve inter-re¬ 
 gional application, require liaison with 
 other government agencies, or for vari¬ 
 ous other reasons can be more efficiently 
 disposed of in the National Office. 
 
 The Director of Price Stabilization 
 has concluded, therefore, that applica¬ 
 tions for adjustment of ceiling prices 
 under section 20 (a) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 should be handled by OPS 
 field offices, with the exceptions noted in 
 the first paragraph above. All of the 
 applications that must still be filed at 
 Washington involve services or situa¬ 
 tions that in most cases the National Of¬ 
 fice is best equipped to process. 
 
 In view of the technical nature of this 
 amendment, special circumstances have 
 rendered consultation with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, including trade association 
 representatives, impracticable. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 20 (a) of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34, as amended, is further amended 
 by deleting from paragraph (2) thereof 
 subparagraphs (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), 
 (viii), (ix) and (xi), and by renumbering 
 subparagraphs (iv) and (x) as (iii) and 
 (iv), respectively, so that paragraph (2) 
 reads as follows: 
 
 (2) You must file your application on 
 OPS Public Form 43, Revised, in dupli¬ 
 cate, with the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Washington 25, D. C., if you sell 
 or supply any services, subject to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34, which are listed or 
 described below: 
 
 (i) Any services supplied by a person 
 whose business (services, and other busi¬ 
 ness) normally is carried on in more 
 than one OPS region. 
 
 (ii) Any services rendered to manu¬ 
 facturing or industrial establishments 
 which are either a necessary part in the 
 production of a commodity or are use¬ 
 ful or necessary in the preparation of a 
 raw material for marketing. 
 
 (iii) Royalty arrangements of any 
 kind. 
 
 (iv) Warehouse facilities. 
 
 If some of the services you sell or 
 supply are listed or described in this 
 subparagraph and some of the services 
 you sell or supply are not so listed or 
 described, you must file your application 
 for adjustment for all of the services 
 which you sell or supply with the Office 
 of Price Stabilization, Washington 25, 
 D. C. 
 
 In addition to the information re¬ 
 quired of you by OPS Public Form 
 43, Revised, OPS may request such 
 additional information as may be found 
 necessary in considering your applica¬ 
 tion.

 FURTHER MODIFICATION OF POSTING 
 REQUIREMENTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161. and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 8 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 amends section 18 < f > < 2 >, 
 as amended, to remove from the posting 
 requirements of the regulation banks, 
 funeral establishments, establishments 
 to the extent they supply or service 
 prosthetic devices, and establishments in 
 which the posting of a price would be 
 violative of a statute or ordinance. 
 
 The complexity of the price structure 
 of services provided by banks differs 
 from the ordinary pricing of a retail or 
 consumer type of service. In view of 
 this and of the special nature of the re¬ 
 
 lationship between the buyers and sell¬ 
 ers of these services, it is deemed un¬ 
 necessary to require banks to post their 
 ceiling prices. 
 
 Prosthetic devices are usually tailored 
 to a prescription, having to do with mat¬ 
 ters peculiar and personal to each pur¬ 
 chaser with a resulting pricing formula 
 that is difficult to reduce to a form that 
 when posted has much informational 
 value to the buyer. 
 
 The posting of ceiling prices for fu¬ 
 neral services are inappropriate by the 
 very nature of the service. 
 
 In order to avoid a conflict with local 
 conditions, posting will not be required 
 wherever a state statute or municipal 
 ordinance prohibits the posting of a 
 price for any reason. 
 
 These exemptions from the require¬ 
 ment of posting will not impair the price 
 stabilization program, nor will such ex¬ 
 emptions have any material effect upon 
 the cost of living or upon the general 
 level of prices. The technical nature 
 and routine character of the provisions 
 of this amendment made it unnecessary 
 to consult formally with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, including trade association 
 representatives, although wherever fea¬ 
 sible various representatives from serv¬ 
 ice fields were informally consulted and 
 consideration was given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. In the judgment of the Di¬ 
 
 rector of Price Stabilisation the provi¬ 
 sions of this regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 AMENDATOR V PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 18 <f> (2* of Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 34. as amended, is further 
 amended by adding a new sentence at 
 the end thereof as follows: 
 
 “Provided however, that the provi¬ 
 sions of this paragraph shall not apply 
 to the following: 
 
 <i> Banks. 
 
 ‘ ii > Funeral establishments. 
 
 <iii> Establishments to the extent 
 that they supply or service prosthetic 
 devices. 
 
 <iv> Establishments in which the 
 posting of a price would violate a state 
 statute or municipal ordinance.’'

 fective December 16, 1952.

 MODIFICATION OF CENTRAL PRICING 
 PROVISIONS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 9 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Section 10 of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 provides for the establishment of uni¬ 
 form prices for sellers owning or operat¬ 
 ing more than one service establishment. 
 Since there is no restriction on the ap¬ 
 plicability of this section, it is applicable 
 in the territories and possessions of the 
 United States. However, it has been the 
 
 experience of the Office of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation that prices established in the con¬ 
 tinental United States are not neces¬ 
 sarily fair and equitable when applied 
 in the territories and possessions of the 
 United States. This difference is brought 
 about by differences in wage rates, in¬ 
 creased costs of parts and materials due 
 to shipping charges, and other similar 
 factors. The OPS, in commodity regu¬ 
 lations, has generally made the distinc¬ 
 tion that uniform pricing orders issued 
 for the continental United States are not 
 applicable in the territories and posses¬ 
 sions of the United States. 
 
 This amendment changes section 10 to 
 provide that no order issued under that 
 section shall apply in the territories and 
 possessions of the United States. 
 
 Special factors have made it imprac¬ 
 ticable to consult with the industries af¬ 
 fected, including trade association rep¬ 
 resentatives. In the judgment of the 
 Director, this action is generally fair and 
 equitable and is necessary to effectuate 
 the purposes of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 1. Section 10 of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 is amended to read as follows: 
 
 Sec. 10. Central pricing. OPS may 
 when it deems it consistent with the pur¬ 
 poses of this regulation establish uniform 
 prices for sellers owning or operating 
 more than one service establishment and 
 may for this purpose require sellers to 
 furnish necessary information. No order 
 issued under this section applies to sales 
 of services in the territories and posses¬ 
 sions of the United States. Ceiling prices 
 for sales of services in the territories and 
 possessions are to be determined under 
 sections 5, 6, 7, or 8 of this regulation, 
 as may be appropriate.

 COMMON CARRIERS 
 
 Classification-exclusive function of National Office 
 
 The determination of whether a person is a common carrier is the sole function of 
 the National Office of OPS under existing policy. Once the National Office makes 
 that determination, the person is not subject to any price control by OPS regula¬ 
 tions. Thus the record-keeping, reporting .or evasion provisions of the GCPR or CPR 
 34 cannot be made applicable to common carriers because these provisions are inci¬ 
 dental to the control of nrices.

 JUKE BOX MUSIC 
 
 Seller is person who controls rendition of service 
 
 The facts disclose that X is the owner of automatic music machines, sometimes 
 called juke boxes, which play a record or records when a coin is deposited in 
 them; that he installs these machines, retaining title to them, in the business 
 premises of cafe and tavern operators; that he makes periodic record substitutions, 
 and repairs and services the machines; that he alone determines the price that 
 will be required to operate the machines; that he takes possession of the coins 
 deposited in the machines; and that the arrangement under which he installs the 
 machines is that he will pay the premises operator a percentage, usually 50$ of 
 the coins deposited. The question has been raised as to whether on the basis of 
 these facts the machine owner and the proprietor of the establishment may both 
 properly be regarded as sellers of the music service to the public. 
 
 Under the facts presented, the machine owner, X is the sole seller of the 
 music service to the public. It is recognized that it would be possible to have 
 an arrangement whereby the premises operator and machine owner jointly render 
 the service, but not when the rendition of the service is completely under the 
 control of the machine owner. It would also be possible to have an arrangement 
 whereby ’the machine owner rents the machine to the premises operator who 
 services the machine, substitutes records periodically, and collects the coins, 
 and in which the machine owner does nothing but collect his rental. In such a 
 case, the music service to the public would be rendered by the premises operator 
 alone. In the case you state, however, the machine owner X has complete control 
 over the music service. He substitutes the records, services the machine, 
 determines the charge, and collects the coins. The only connection the premises 
 operator has with the music service is in permitting the machine owner to 
 operate the machine on his premises, and this is a service to the machine owner, 
 not to the public generally. 
 
 Under these circumstances, the machine owner, and not the proprietor of the 
 establishment, is the seller of the music service to the public.

 Funeral director supplying extras - sale and agency distinguished 
 
 Ordinarily a funeral director supplies extra services as a principal and not as an 
 agent either for the supplier of the service or commodity or for the estate. In the 
 usual case, the director deals directly with the suppliers, obligating himself to pay 
 for the services and commodities, taking title to the latter and then reselling both 
 to the customer. In such an event, with the possible exemption of commodity items for 
 which charges were separately stated during the base period, funeral directors may 
 not pass on increased costs to the customers (section 11 of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34, as amended). Furthermore, when a funeral director resells a commodity or service 
 which was exempt when sold to him by the original supplier such an exemption does not 
 extend to the resale of that commodity or service by the funeral director. 
 
 Of course, there may be instances when the funeral director does act as agent for 
 the supplier or the estate, in which event he may be entitled to his agent's fee from 
 his principal. This presents no particular problem if in the base period he custom¬ 
 arily acted as agent. In such case, he may, if he is an agent for the supplier, pass 
 on the legal prices of his principal, the fee for his services then being paid by the 
 supplier-principal; or he may, if he is the agent for the estate, charge the estate 
 the legal price of the supplier plus his CPR 34 ceiling price for his services as 
 an agent. He may also,even if in the base period he acted only as a principal for the 
 supply of these services, supply these services as an agent. In that event, if the 
 agency is for the supplier, the estate pays the supplier's legal price for the sup¬ 
 plier's service, a component of which may be the agent's charges. If, however, under 
 those circumstances, the agency is for the estate, the ceiling price he may charge 
 the estate for the supply of these services plus his agency fee shall in no event 
 exceed his base period ceiling prices as a principal supplier of these services.

 Kiln-drying of lumber 
 
 CPR 140 covers Northeastern White Pine lumber in all degrees of seasoning and all 
 states of working. 
 
 A seller of kiln-dried lumber may apply for a ceiling price under Section 4.1 of 
 CPR 140. If he does not so apply, he must, for lumber kiln-dried to a moisture content 
 of 17 per cent or less, use the air-dried lumber ceiling prices of CPR 140, and for 
 lumber kiln-dried to a moisture content of more than 17 per cent, use the green lumber 
 ceiling prices of CPR 140. 
 
 If the lumber is sold green, and the kiln-drying is supplied as a separately re¬ 
 quested service, then, because CPR 140 does not establish specific ceilings for kiln- 
 dried lumber, the seller may charge thv ceilings for the green lumber under CPR 140 
 and may make a further charge for the -.rvices of kiln-drying under CPR 34.

 Cleaning pipeline refinery storage tanks and salvaging crude oil 
 
 A company is engaged in the business throughout the oil states of cleaning pipeline 
 refinery storage tanks and processing a by-product of such cleaning (BS&W) in an oil 
 separating plant for the recovery of crude. The company has a permanent plant and 
 three portable plants which are used to fulfill contracts at locations other than at 
 the permanent plant. The company apparently enters into some six different types of 
 contracts for its services. While the price terms of these contracts vary, it appears 
 that these contracts relate to two types of services, namely, either the cleaning of 
 pipeline refinery storage tanks without more or the cleaning of such tanks and the 
 processing of BS&W for the recovery of crude. Contracts for cleaning of tanks only 
 are made on a flat cash basis per tank or for BS&W removed from the tank with or 
 without an additional fixed amount paid by the company to the buyer of the service. 
 Contracts for both cleaning of tanks and recovering crude from BS&W removed from the 
 tanks are made on the basis of the posted field price plus or minus a fixed amount 
 per barrel of recovered crude and sometimes nlus a fixed amount per barrel of BS&W 
 removed paid by the company. 
 
 The cleaning of oil storage tanks is a service for which ceiling prices can be es¬ 
 tablished under Section 5 of CPR 34. However, when the company sells the combined 
 service of cleaning tanks and recovering crude from the BS&W removed from the tanks, 
 this constitutes a second type of service for which ceiling prices would also be es¬ 
 tablished under Section 5 of CPR 34. It appears from the price terms of the various 
 contracts employed by the company that it sold the same service in the base period 
 at the same time to different purchasers at different prices on an individual nego¬ 
 tiated basis. Under Section 12(c) of CPR 34, each such customer constitutes a separ¬ 
 ate class of purchaser. 
 
 Although the principal place of business of the company is located within one 
 district of OPS and it merely operates portable equipment outside the district, a 
 filing by the company pursuant to the provisions of Section 18 of CPR 34 with the 
 OPS district office in which the principal place of business is located is not 
 sufficient. If the company both enters into and performs contracts for the cleaning 
 of oil storage tanks outside this OPS district, then it is required to file its 
 ceiling prices with the appropriate OPS district office in accordance with the pro¬ 
 visions of Section 18(b) of CPR 34. (See Section 27(a)(1))

 Photostatic work does not fall within the definition of a manufacturer under section

 Contract to deposit refuse on land 
 
 The question presented is whether a contract to dump refuse on land is exempt as a 
 real estate transaction or is subject to price regulation. 
 
 3 entered into a contract with A for the right to deposit in an excavated portion 
 of certain land owned by A "clay, brickbats, earth, cinders, tile, rock, concrete, 
 stone, rubbish, sand, industrial refuse, and other miscellaneous fill" for which B 
 agreed to pay A a specified amount per cubic yard deposited. B permitted others to 
 deposit debris on this land, and the question is whether B’s charges therefor are 
 subject to price regulation, or whether they are exempt as a price or rental for 
 real property under Section 402(e)(i) of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 The charges are not prices or rentals for real property but charges for the privi¬ 
 lege of depositing refuse on land. The land is not the real property of B, and its 
 agreement with A is not a lease. It is a contract. Even if B had a lease or owned the 
 property, however, its charges for the privilege of depositing refuse on the land 
 would not be prices or rentals for real property. In this connection see GCPR Int. 36, 
 Loose Leaf Service, 42 Reg. 11:203, that royalty payments for mining coal are not a 
 price or rental for real property.

 WARRANTY 
 
 Distinguished from insurance 
 
 The question posed is whether an optional warranty against chipping, cracking, 
 or peeling of felt base rugs is insurance within the purview of that term, as used 
 in Section 14(e) of GCPR. (the same exemption is contained in Section 402(e)(iv) of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended.) The seller seeks to make a $1.00 
 charge for a warranty covering a 5 year period. 
 
 Section 14(e) of GCPR exempts "rates charged by any person in the business of 
 selling or underwriting insurance." It can hardly be said that a seller of rugs is in 
 the business of selling insurance when he warrants the serviceability of the commodi¬ 
 ties he sells. In such a case the seller merely undertakes to indemnify a purchaser 
 of his commodity against defects in it or against its failure to perform as he has 
 represented it. The warrantor is in the business of selling commodities and gives a 
 warranty only in conjunction with the sale of such commodities. An insurer indemni¬ 
 fies the insured against the occurrence of an event or events which are in no way 
 connected with or within the control of the insurer. In such case, the insurer is 
 engaged in the business of selling insurance. A warranty is considered to be a serv¬ 
 ice for the purposes of price control and is subject to CPR 34.

 DUES AND ASSESSMENTS 
 
 Services of a credit organization - when covered 
 
 Generally, dues charged by a credit organization for services which consist solely 
 of the dissemination of general credit information are not subject to price sta¬ 
 bilization pursuant to GOR 8, Sec. 1(a)(2). Service charges, however, which include 
 the yearly dues of an association which has as members various commercial firms, are 
 subject to the provisions of CPR 34, if for such charges specific credit information 
 is furnished to members in addition to general credit information. Furthermore, per 
 report charges for special services are subject to CPR 34. 
 
 The furnishing of a specific credit report is considered to be the supplying of a 
 service and not the sale of a commodity or a service rendered in connection with the 
 sale of a commodity. Consequently, GOR 8 Sec. 1(a)(2) has no application to the 
 supplying of such credit reports.

 Ambulance service, when included 
 
 In determining whether rates charged by a company offering ambulance 
 service are exempt from price control under the common carrier exemption 
 contained in section 402(e)(v) of the Act, and section 14(f), GCPR, the test 
 is whether such company is under a legal obligation to hold itself out to 
 serve upon reasonable demand such part of the public as needs its services 
 at fixed, uniform and nondiscriminatory rates. 
 
 If these conditions are not satisfied, the company is not regarded as 
 a common carrier. Under such circumstances, its rates for ambulance services 
 would be covered by CPR 34, since the principal service being sold is not the 
 transportation service, but rather the medical or quasi-medical attention which 
 is furnished to the person being carried.

 Consignee - renders a selling service 
 
 Under the following circumstances a manufacturer of fertilizer is the seller under 
 GCPR, Sec. 22 and the merchant is a consignee whose services are covered by CPR 34 
 and who is required therefore to maintain records under Sec. 18. 
 
 The manufacturer pays all transportation and other charges in connection with 
 placing the fertilizer in the local merchant's storage facilities. The manu¬ 
 facturer retains title to the fertilizer. The merchant agrees to sell the fertilizer. 
 When it is sold he is required to pay the manufacturer a stipulated price per sack 
 or per ton. The manufacturer suggests the price at which the merchant should sell 
 the fertilizer. This price, of course, includes the amount to be received by the 
 manufacturer and a margin of profit for the merchant. However the merchant is not 
 bound to charge the suggested price, but may charge more or less. The manufacturer 
 may pick up any fertilizer left unsold at the end of the season or may leave it in 
 storage with the merchant. In some instances the manufacturer pays the merchant 
 storage on any fertilizer left with the merchant after the end of the season. 
 
 The reason for these conclusions is that at no time does the merchant have any 
 ownership interest in the fertilizer. He does not buy the fertilizer for resale; 
 rather he merely renders selling services to the manufacturer which services 
 functionally fall within the definition of services in CPR 34, Sec. 27(a)(17).

 Boat storage - when included 
 
 OPS has received an inquiry whether the charges of shipyard for the storage of boats 
 are exempt as rentals for real property under section 14(a) of the GCPR or whether 
 such storage is a service covered by CPR 34. 
 
 In the case that has been presented the storage operation includes bringing the boat 
 from the water into a shed and placing the boat in a cradle but no particular space is 
 assigned to any particular owner. 
 
 In Carothers et al v. Bowles, 148 F. 2d 554, decided by the United States Emergency 
 Court of Appeals under the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942, certiorari denied 65 S. 
 Ct. 1556, which involved a "park and lock rental plan" for automobiles, the court in 
 determining that an automobile storage service was being rendered, rather than real 
 property being rented, said: "Whether such an operation involves the providing of 
 storage service subject to the regulatory control of the administrator depends upon 
 whether there are present at least some of the incidents which customarily go to make 
 up automobile storage service. Among these may be the grading, paving, lighting and 
 cleaning of the parking lot and the marking upon it of suitable spaces for the parking 
 of cars, as well as the supplying of an attendant." 
 
 In the case presented, moving the boat out of the water and placing it in a cradle, 
 with the right in the proprietor to move the boat within the shed at any time, are 
 incidents of a storage service. On these facts, the shipyard is rendering a storage 
 service under CPR 34, and is not renting real property under section 402(e)(i) of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended or section 14(a) of the GCPR. Further de¬ 
 velopment of the facts may disclose additional incidents of a storage service. 
 
 This interpretation is supported by the interpretation of section 402(e)(i) of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, reported in the OPS Loose Leaf Service at 
 85 Serv 32:218.3, and the Report and Recommendation of the Board of Review In the 
 Matter of The Avenue Company, Protestant, which was adopted as the opinion of the 
 Director in the order dated March 26, 1952, denying the protest in that case, and 
 which is reported in the OPS Loose Leaf Service at 201 OP 131, OPS - 20.

 COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS AND CORPORATIONS 
 
 When ’’dues” and ’’membership fees” are subject to control 
 
 Questions have been raised as to the price control status of services rendered by 
 cooperative associations to their members and whether the rule is different if the 
 person rendering the service is a corporation. 
 
 OPS has the authority to fix ceilings on charges made by associations where they 
 sell or deliver services. Section 402(b)(2) of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended authorizes the establishment of "ceilings on the price, rental, commis¬ 
 sion, margin, rate, fee, charge or allowance paid or received on the sale or delivery, 
 or the purchase or receipt, by or to any person, of any material of service." Section 
 702(a) of the Act defines the term "person" as used in section 402(b)(2) as including 
 an "association, or any other organized group of persons." 
 
 It must be decided, however, in the case of a transaction between an association 
 and its member whether a charge is made for sale or delivery of a service. The re¬ 
 lationship between an association and a member usually involves certain payments. 
 
 The Chief Counsel has ruled that where a payment is made by the member to the asso¬ 
 ciation for a specific commodity or service, there is a sale or delivery and the 
 transaction is subject to price control. On the other hand, if the payments to the 
 association are general dues or membership fees the payments are not for the sale or 
 delivery of a specific commodity or service and therefore are not within the scope 
 of price control. In White v. Winchester Cc Hry Club , 315 U.S. 32, 41 (1942) the 
 U.S. Supreme Court makes the distinction bee o-en such membership dues and payments 
 for specific commodities or services as follows: 
 
 "Consideration of the nature of club activity is a necessary preliminary to 
 the formulation of a test of what constitutes a 'due or membership fee.' So 
 far as finances go, the fundamental notion of club activity is that opera¬ 
 tions expenses are shared without insistence upon equivalence between the 
 proportion of an individual's contribution and the proportion of the benefits 
 he receives. Thus, on the one hand, payment of the price of an individual 
 dinner at the club dining room or of a single round of golf lacks the element 
 of making common cause inherent in the club activity. But, on the other hand, 
 payment for the right to repeated and general use of a common club facility 
 for an appreciable period of time has that element and amounts to a 'due or 
 membership fee' if the payment is not fixed by each occasion of actual use." 
 
 Ordinarily, "sale" or "delivery" involve an Individual transaction for a specific 
 material or service by the buyer and seller with a specific price being paid. In 
 paying "dues" or "membership fees" the member of the association does not contract 
 to purchase a particular service. He need not even avail himself or any service if 
 he does not choose. Accordingly, in determining whether a transaction between asso¬ 
 ciation and member is subject to price control the following criteria would be 
 applicable generally: 
 
 a. If the charge is for a right to repeated and general use of a common 
 facility for an appreciable period of time, it is strictly for "dues" 
 or "membership fees" and is, therefore, not for a "sale" even under 
 broad construction of that term; 
 
85 Serv 32:202.58 
 
 b. If the charge is for a service fixed by each occasion of actual use, even 
 though it is called "dues", then OPS may regulate such charge. 
 
 With respect to services rendered by a "corporation”, many cooperative associations 
 have some of the attributes usually associated with a corporation in that they may be 
 chartered under legislative authority and may issue stock to their members. However, 
 in the case of a true corporation, as distinguished from a cooperative, there is 
 seldom if ever a payment of "dues" or "membership fees" to the corporation. It is 
 difficult to conceive of a situation where we do not have the authority to impose 
 price control on charges for the rendering of services by corporations if the tests 
 discussed above are applied.

 then impounded until the towing costs are paid by the owner. 
 
 It is suggested that such services are in connection with the exercise of the muni¬ 
 cipality’s police power and are therefore exempt. Neither the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended, nor any OPS regulation exempts services sold to a municipality 
 even though they are used in the exercise of its police power. It follows that the 
 seller's services are covered by CPR 34.

 -Repair and maintenance services on commercial refrigerators of plug-in 
 
 type, included. 
 
 A question has arisen whether repair and maintenance services on commercial re¬ 
 frigerators of the "plug-in" type are covered by CPR 93 or by CPR 34. 
 
 Such services are covered by CPR 34, the general services regulation (sec.2), 
 and they are not covered by the relevant specific price regulation, CPR 93, which 
 deals with "construction and related services and sales of installed materials." 
 Section 3 of CPR 93 sets forth among "transactions not covered" by the regula¬ 
 tion the following: 
 
 "(b) Appliances - retail sales and services, (l) The separate 
 
 installed sale of appliances such as domestic refrigerators, 
 
 ...for which the cost of the required installation service 
 is only incidental; (2) repair and maintenance services on 
 these appliances." 
 
 Commercial refrigerators of the "plug-in" type are appliances for which the cost of 
 the required installation service is only incidental and thus repair and maintenance 
 services on such commercial refrigerators are excluded from CPR 93 and remain subject 
 to CPR 34.

 The term "jobbing shop operations", in essence, refers to a subcontracted service. 
 Accordingly, it would include a single service operation rendered at the wholesale 
 level by a shop customarily engaged in the rendering of industrial services for other 
 persons who also render services. For the most part, however, the services would be 
 performed for a manufacturer as part of the manufacturer's production process.

 PARKING LOT 
 
 Time schedule changes must not result in decreased service 
 
 The inquiry is whether a parking lot may change its hours or periods of parking 
 time available to patrons for a particular fee. 
 
 The present schedule rates 1 are (l) 7 A.M. to 7 P.M.$0.75 and (2) 7 P.M. to 
 
 7 A.M.. . .$0.75; and a change is requested as follows: (1) 3 A.M. to 6 P.M.$0.75, 
 
 (2) 6 P.M. to 8 A.M.$0.75. It is stated that the change sought will give at least 
 
 the same service to the same class of purchasers as was supplied during the base 
 period at the same price and that there would be no objection to the proposed change 
 of time schedule. 
 
 The requested change could result in depriving certain day customers of parking 
 spaces between 7 and 8 a.m. due to the extension of the night parking time to 8 a.m. 
 and those day parkers who did not customarily pick up their cars until 7 p.m. would 
 have to pay an extra $0.75 for parking from 6 to 7 p.m. each day. The company may 
 vary its time schedule so as to give extra benefits to its night parkers, provided 
 it does not deprive day parkers of available space at the usual time at which they 
 are accustomed to park. The company may not, however, vary its schedule to such an 
 extent that some parkers may be required to pay an increased price as, for example, 
 if they remained on the lot until 7 p.m.

 CAR WASHING 
 
 1. By new car washers 
 
 2. Application of Sec. 5 and other sections explained 
 
 A company advises that it operates a chain of service stations; that one 
 of the many services offered by units of the company to motorists is car washing; 
 that the car washing is performed for the company by local car washers who have 
 the necessary facilities and with whom the individual units have made local 
 arrangements; that each unit has customarily charged their customers the exact 
 retail price charged them by the local car washers although in many cases the 
 local car washer gives the company unit a small discount. In addition, the 
 company states that pursuant to the provisions of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 as amended, each unit established as their ceiling prices for car washing and 
 incidental services the ceiling prices of the individual car washer whose serv¬ 
 ices they utilized during the base period, December 19, 1950 to January 25, 
 
 1951, inclusive; and that whenever a new unit opened, that unit established a 
 ceiling price for car washing under section 5 (a)(3) by adopting the ceiling 
 prices of the car washer with whom arrangements had been made. As a result of 
 this situation many units, when compelled to change car washers, are confronted 
 with the problem of whether, under Ceiling Price Regulation 34, they can ad¬ 
 just their ceiling price for car washing to the price charged them by the new 
 car washer whose prices may not be the same as those of his predecessor. The 
 company is of the opinion that it should be permitted to adopt the price 
 schedule of the new car washer as its price schedule and further contends that 
 the new car washers do not offer services which are identical to those previ¬ 
 ously offered so that, in effect, a new service is being offered for which a 
 new ceiling price should be established under section 5 (a)(3) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 if the new car washer has a different price schedule than his 
 predecessor. 
 
 Section 5 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 provides that a seller’s ceiling 
 price for any service he supplied or offered to supply during the base period 
 is the highest price which he charged a purchaser of the same class for the 
 same service during that time. Section 5(a)(3) of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 which authorizes a seller to establish as his ceiling price for a service the 
 highest price which his closest competitor charged a purchaser of the same 
 class for the same service is applicable only to services which the seller did 
 not supply or offer to supply during the base period but which he did supply 
 prior to the effective date of the regulation. Therefore, section 5 (a)(3) of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 applies only to those company stations which did 
 not supply or offer to supply a car washing during the base period. However, 
 any company station that first supplied a car washing service subsequent to 
 the effective date of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 must establish a ceiling 
 price therefor under section 6 of that regulation. If any unit has been com¬ 
 pelled to change car washers, and the new car washer charges a higher price 
 than his predecessor, the station is still limited to the schedule of charges 
 established by that station for car washing services during the base period. 
 
 As for the contention that the new car washer supplies a new service, it 
 is the opinion of this, office that the service is still car washing and unless 
 there is a basic difference in the service rendered, it cannot be considered 
 
85 Serv 32:205.12 
 
 a new service. In addition, even if the service could be considered new be¬ 
 cause of a basic difference, section 12 (e) of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 provides that although you may discontinue supplying a service which you sup¬ 
 plied during the base period, you may not substitute in its place a higher 
 priced service which achieves substantially the same purpose as the discon¬ 
 tinued service. 
 
 However, it is important to note if the ceiling prices of any unit impair 
 the normal earnings of that unit measured by a representative pre-Korean 
 period to such an extent that the effective operation of the business is 
 threatened, that unit may apply for an adjustment in its ceiling prices under 
 section 20(a) of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 Section 13 (c) of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 should also be noted in that 
 it provides for the establishment of ceiling prices for sellers operating more 
 than one selling unit who open a new unit after January 25, 1951. In that case, 
 the new unit is required to establish ceiling prices under section 7 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34.

 DRY CLEANING BY DIFFERENT PROCESS 
 Not a new service where results are unchanged 
 
 The question is presented as to whether a new service is being sold by a dry cleaner 
 who was in business during the base period and has since commenced to use the Sanitone 
 process. This is a copywrited cleaning process under which licensees use a specified 
 soap and other procedures prescribed by the licensor. 
 
 A seller contends that the "Sanitone Process" results in a new and superior service. 
 
 He asserts that garments cleaned by this method are free of all dirt, grime, and foreign 
 matter; that Sanitone, unlike other processes, restores colors; is free of odors as 
 when petroleum solvents are used; prevents fabric deterioration and seam breaks; and 
 that the garments hold their press for a longer period. Furthermore Sanitone pro¬ 
 cessors mend even those rips and tears that are present when the garment is brought 
 in for dry cleaning, and, it is said, that only they can buy moth damage insurance. 
 
 The seller's assertions have been considered and found to lack substance. As to 
 freedom from dirt, it need only be noted that spotting and wet cleaning are still 
 necessary; that proper cleaning, in any case, leaves garments odorless and with 
 colors restored, except in the case of faded or- worn garments; that mending service 
 to the same degree is furnished by other reputable cleaners; and that, except for 
 accidental tears, which can occur in the Sanitone Process as in other types of clean¬ 
 ing, deterioration and seam breakage are due to inferior manufacture and cloth rather 
 than to the cleaning process used. Finally, the length of time a garment hold? its 
 press depends on the pressing itself and the habits of the wearer. 
 
 If the argument be accepted that a cleaner garment results, any increased cost in¬ 
 volved in the use of Sanitone Process soap would be counterbalanced by a decrease in 
 the amount of spotting and wet cleaning. In addition, there are cleaning methods that 
 use equipment involving a capital expenditure several times as great as in the Sani¬ 
 tone Process, yet such services are priced competitively. 
 
 In view of the foregoing it is to be concluded that the Sanitone Process is in fact 
 merely a different method of performing the service • rendered in the base neriod and is 
 not a new service.

 PIGEON HOLE PARKING LOTS 
 
 Selection ui most ciosexy competitive seller 
 
 A pigeon hole parking lot is a building so constructed that cars are parked auto¬ 
 matically by machinery, thereby eliminating entirely the handling of the car by a 
 driver both in the service of parking it and in removing it from its parking space. 
 This kind of parking service tends to prevent rough handling in the parking lot. 
 
 The operator of a new pigeon hold parking lot must establish his ceiling prices in 
 accordance with Section 6. If there is no competitive pigeon hole parking lot, he 
 should establish his prices on the basis of those of the closest structural parking 
 establishment providing parking service to the same class of purchaser.

 NEW SERVICE 
 
 Indoor parking different service than outdoor parking 
 
 A parking lot operator seeks to establish ceiling prices under section 6 of CPR 34 
 for a new parking service under the following facts. 
 
 For some time the seller operated an open parking lot on ground below the street 
 level. There has now been built on this same location an enclosed concrete one 
 level garage type building, the roof of which is on a level with the street and is 
 to be used for the open parking of cars. The operator states he intends to park 
 cars in the enclosed structure and also on the exposed roof. He requests, for the 
 roof parking, a price which would be higher than that previously charged for the 
 ground parking and a still higher price for the enclosed parking. 
 
 The question presented is whether the applicant has discontinued an old service 
 and instituted a new service achieving the same general purpose at a higher price, 
 and if so, whether he has met the conditions of section 12(e) of CPR 34. 
 
 It is the opinion of OPS that the service rendered in parking cars on the open 
 roof is substantially similar to the service previously rendered; that therefore, 
 he has not discontinued his old service but now will supply in addition the en¬ 
 closed garage type parking service offered by his lower level. Further, it is the 
 opinion of OPS that if it were to be found that the question fell within the purview 
 of section 12(e) of CPR 34, the applicant could not meet the conditions of that 
 section whereby an old service could be discontinued and a new higher priced service 
 instituted. 
 
 The operator may establish ceiling prices for his enclosed parking services as 
 new services under section 6 of CPR 34, but he must maintain his old ceiling prices 
 for cars parked on the roof of the structure. 
 
 In reaching this conclusion OPS has taken into consideration that the new structure 
 provides a concrete floor, wash and waiting room, and additional ingress and egress 
 facilities.

 ENTERTAINMENT AS A NEW FEATURE 
 
 Section 6(c) not applicable for granting higher prices 
 
 because of entertainment 
 
 An operator of a small eating and drinking establishment proposes to in¬ 
 crease his ceiling prices for food and beverages sold at certain times of the 
 day in order to recover the cost of entertainment which he now proposes to 
 offer during those hours. The operator has not previously offered entertainment 
 in his establishment and does not wish to institute an entertainment charge as 
 provided in Section 14 but wants to increase his ceiling prices for meals, food 
 items or beverages sold during those hours. The operator is of the opinion that 
 his customers would object to paying a cover or entertainment charge but would 
 not object to paying a little extra for a drink during entertainment hours on 
 certain nights of the week. It was suggested that the operator could apply 
 under Section 6(c) for an increase in his ceiling prices for food or beverage 
 items offered for sale during a particular time of the day never before offered. 
 The proposed increase would be measured by the cost of the entertainment. 
 
 Section 6(c) is not designed for the purpose of increasing ceiling prices 
 of food or beverage items because they are offered for sale at times of the 
 day not offered during the freeze week. Section 6(c) would be applicable in 
 this case only if the operator offers, during entertainment hours, a particular 
 meal, food item or beverage which he had not offered during the period from 
 April 1, 1951, through February 9, 1952, and for which he is unable to estab¬ 
 lish a ceiling price under the other paragraphs of Section 6. In most cases, 
 the ceiling price of a new item is fixed in accordance with Section 6(b)(2) and 
 the cost of entertainment, which is being offered during the hours when the 
 new item is offered, is not taken into account in fixing the ceiling price for 
 that item. A ham sandwich or a beer which is offered before 9 o’clock and has 
 a ceiling price fixed under Section 6(a), is not a new food item or beverage 
 because it is served after 9 o’clock when entertainment is offered. It is only 
 when the operator during the freeze week charged a higher price for any meal, 
 food item or beverage by reason of its being offered at a particular time of 
 the day that the operator would have different ceiling prices for the same food 
 or beverage items. It does not appear that this type of situation occurred in 
 this particular case. The procedure for recovering the cost of entertainment 
 which the operator now wishes to offer is set forth in Section 14 and the pro¬ 
 visions of Section 6(c) are not interchangeable with that section. Furthermore, 
 there is no procedure available in Section 6(c) as in Section 14 for the re¬ 
 duction of ceiling prices fixed under that section when the entertainment for 
 which the increased ceiling prices are granted is no longer offered.

 SEASONAL PRICE VARIATIONS 
 Parking lot operator must maintain 
 
 A parking lot operator cutomarily charges a higher price during the Christmas 
 season than he did during the balance of the year; the result was that the Christmas 
 season price charged during part of the base period was the highest price charged 
 during such period. However, under section 8(a) the seller's price for the balance of 
 the year must reflect his customary seasonal differentials.

 CUSTOMARY CLASS OF PURCHASER DIFFERENTIALS 
 Restoration - when permitted for bowling alleys 
 
 The question posed is whether league bowling prices which, during the base period re¬ 
 mained fixed under contracts, may be increased to maintain the customary price differential 
 between league and open bowling, the latter having been increased during the base 
 period. 
 
 If the price of open bowling was increased generally to individual bowlers during the 
 base period, the proprietor may increase his league price accordingly under Section 
 12(a)(2) of the CPR 34, keeping the same differential between open and league bowling, 
 and retaining any base period rebates, provided that the fees for league bowlers were 
 not increased during the base period because of a legal obligation of the proprietor 
 under a contract made before the price increase generally applicable to individual 
 bowlers. This regulation does not require that the contract be in writing although if 
 in writing the existence of the contract is more clearly evidenced.

 CUSTOMARY CLASS OF PURCHASER DIFFERENTIALS 
 Pre-existing contracts must apply to all members of class 
 
 Section 12(a) of CPR 34 deals with the situation where a seller had in 
 effect during the base period an increase in his prices for a service to his 
 classes of purchasers generally, but did not supply the service to a partic 
 lar class at the increased price during the base period. In such a situation, 
 if the service was in fact supplied to that particular class during the base 
 period, subsequent to the general price increase, at the old low price, sec¬ 
 tion 12(a)(2) relief is available only if it appears that any and all deliv¬ 
 eries of the service to purchasers of that class at the lower price resulted 
 from the fact that the seller was bound to make such delivery at the lower 
 price under a contract executed prior to the general price increase. Section 
 12(a)(2) may not be used to establish the price increase for such a class if 
 deliveries were made to members of that class at the old low rate even in 
 cases where the seller was not legally bound to deliver at such lower price 
 under pre-existing contracts. The fact that the existence of binding con¬ 
 tracts compelling delivery to some members of the class at the old rate 
 motivated the business decision to continue the lower price simultaneously 
 to other members of the class as to whom no such binding contract existed, 
 does not satisfy the conditions set forth in section 12(a)(2).

 Discontinuance of free services 
 
 The subject company had a base period practice of cashing checks for its customers 
 free of charge. Recently it instituted a new system under which it made a charge of 
 10£ for cashing each check. The person whose check was cashed, however, received a 
 10 £ merchandise credit slip. 
 
 The introduction of such a practice would not be permitted under section 5 or 
 section 12(e) of CPR 34 inasmuch as requiring the customer to purchase a 10£ 
 merchandise credit stamp in return for having his check cashed results in an indirect- 
 charge for the same service which was supplied free of charge during the base period. 
 Moreover the subject company cannot, because of the unusual nature of the service, 
 qualify as the seller of a new service under section 7 of CPR 34 inasmuch as a 
 service rendered free during the base period does not become a new service merely by 
 making a charge therefor. Consequently, though he may discontinue supplying the 
 check cashing service entirely, he may not now charge for this service either direct¬ 
 ly or indirectly. See Section 25 of CPR 34.

 CONTINUANCE OF FREE DELIVERY 
 
 Service and incident of a service distinguished 
 
 The question posed is whether an incident of a service may be discontinued. 
 
 A dry cleaning corporation operates and maintains 18 retail stores in 
 addition to its cleaning plant. The business is operated on a cash and carry 
 basis at all stores. At one store only, however, during the base period and 
 since, free delivery service has been given in addition to the cash and carry 
 operation. Pricing has been at the same level in all stores including the store 
 offering free delivery service, which service the corporation now wishes to 
 discontinue. 
 
 The free delivery service offered by the corporation at its one store is an 
 incident to and a term and condition of sale of the dry cleaning service 
 at the store. Section 25 of CPR 34 states that any act or practice which 
 results directly or indirectly in obtaining a higher price than is permitted 
 by this regulation is a violation of the regulation. Among other things, such 
 practices include practices not justified under 12(e) of the regulation. To 
 discontinue the free delivery service would in effect be indirectly increasing 
 the price of the dry cleaning service to the class of purchaser who customarily 
 used it. While Section 12(e) provides that a seller may discontinue selling a 
 service, it does not provide for the discontinuance of an incident of a service. 
 Free delivery could not stand alone without the dry cleaning. Accordingly, 
 Section 12(e) is not applicable.

 SERVICE WHICH HAS BECOME UNLAWFUL 
 
 Requirements for discontinuing and substituting higher priced service explained. 
 
 Questions have been raised as to the method of compliance with CPR 34, section 
 12(e) in the case of an employment service altering its guarantee of employment in 
 the case of the sale of its services to female applicants. 
 
 The subject company, an employment agency operating under a license issued by the 
 State of Illinois is a partnership whose actual owner and directing head is X. The 
 partnership came into existence of July 1, 1951, following the dissolution on June 
 30, 1951, of the X Employment Services, Inc., an Illinois corporation, whose sole 
 stockholder was X. 
 
 During the base period and up until April 13, 1951, the subject's charges were as 
 follows: 
 
 Male applicants: 60 percent of the first month's salary with a 
 
 30-day guarantee of employment. 
 
 Female applicants: 45 percent of the first month's salary with a 
 
 21-day guarantee of employment. 
 
 Effective April 13, the subject company increased the fees for placement of female 
 applicants to 60 percent of the first month's salary without an enlargement of the 
 guarantee time. 
 
 The subject company defends its position on the basis that the price increase is 
 authorized by section 12(e)(ii) of CPR 34 since the Illinois State Law governing 
 operations of private employment agencies was amended, effective August 2, 1951, to 
 require a 30-day guarantee period in all employment contracts. It is contended by 
 subject company that during the base period it was offering two placement services; 
 on for 45 percent of the first month's salary with a 21-day guarantee; and the other 
 for 60 percent of the first month's salary with a 30-day guarantee; and that by 
 reason of the State Law effective August 2, 1951, it was compelled to discontinue 
 the lower price service. .'After August 2, 1951, the company instituted a 30-day 
 guarantee for female applicants in place of the 21-day guarantee and charged them 
 60 percent of the first month's salary. 
 
 On the basis of these facts it is concluded that during the base period the sub¬ 
 ject company was dealing with two different classes of purchasers with different 
 ceiling prices and different terms and conditions applying to each; that the sub¬ 
 ject company could, at any time, after the effective date of CPR 34 have applied to 
 OPS for permission to supply at a higher price, a 30 day employment guarantee to its 
 female applicants (a single class of purchaser) since the change in the terms and 
 conditions of sale may have warranted an increase in price by virtue of the basic 
 improvement in the service offered. In such a case, the ceiling price would have been 
 determined under section 6 or 7 of CPR 34 on the basis of the value of that service 
 when rendered to female applicants and would not necessarily have been the same as 
 the ceiling price for the same service when rendered to male applicants who were in 
 a separate purchaser class. However, at any time prior to the effective date of the 
 
85 Serv 32:212e. 12 
 
 Illinois Law, the subject company, under section 12(e) would have been compelled to 
 continue supplying the employment service with the 21-day guarantee at the lower 
 ceiling price in addition to any higher priced service for which the company estab¬ 
 lished a ceiling price under section 6 or 7 of CPR 34..At any time after the effective 
 date of the Illinois Law the company could properly have applied to OPS under section 
 12(e)(ii) of CPR 34 for permission to discontinue the sale of the employment with 
 the 21-day guarantee for female applicants. It should be noted however that the 
 granting of authority to discontinue the lower priced service under section 12(e) 
 does not automatically authorize the seller to sell the higher priced service to 
 this class of purchaser (the female applicants). If the subject company did not 
 establish a ceiling price for the employment service to its female applicants with 
 a 30-day guarantee, prior to that time, they must still establish a ceiling price 
 therefor under section 6 or 7 of CPR 34. 
 
 In connection with the instant case the following specific questions have been 
 asked: 
 
 1. Assuming the subject did offer the two services during the base period, was it 
 required by Section 12(e)(ii) to file a certificate with the Director of Price 
 Stabilization as a condition precedent to the discontinuance of the lower price serv¬ 
 ice or could it have discontinued such service immediately upon the effectiveness of 
 the State Law? 
 
 Assuming the subject company offered two services during the base period and 
 assuming further that the subject company was permitted to discontinue the sale 
 of a service under section 2l(e)(ii), the seller is still required by section 
 12(e) (2) of CPR 34 to file with OPS a statement certifying the existence of the 
 condition under which he is authorized to discontinue the sale of such a service 
 illegal, etc., does not relieve the seller from complying with this filing require¬ 
 ment. 
 
 2. If the certificate referred to in section 12(e)(2) was not filed, could the 
 subject ever legally discontinue the lower price service? 
 
 No. In order to discontinue the sale of a service and sell in its place a higher 
 
 priced service which achieves the same general purpose under section 12(e) of CPR 34, 
 
 the seller must file the certificate. 
 
 3. If the certificate had been filed, could the subject discontinue the lower price 
 service or did it have to wait at least 30 days under section 12(e)(3)? 
 
 Section 12(e)(3), granting OPS 30 days within which it may disapprove the request 
 for permission to discontinue the sale of a service and sell in its place a higher 
 
 priced service which achieves the same general purpose, contains an implied require¬ 
 
 ment that the seller must continue to offer the lower priced service until that 30 
 days has elapsed. 
 
 4. Was the partnership which came into being on July 1, 1951, a new seller subject 
 to section 6 of CPR 34? 
 
 While it appears from the information submitted that the partnership which came into 
 existence on July 1, 1951, was merely the result of a reorganization of the former 
 corporation, it may be regarded as a new entity for price control purposes. In either 
 case the ceiling prices are the same since section 13(a) of CPR 34, as amended pro¬ 
 vides that the ceiling prices for the transferee of a business are the same as those in 
 effect for the transferor (Amendment 6 to CPR 34).

 FLAT RATE MANUALS 
 
 Continued use of base period and approved new editions 
 
 Inquiry has been made as to whether the price guide published by the Painting and 
 Decorating Contractors of America, 8th edition, copyrighted in 1950, is recognized by 
 OPS and whether subsequent editions of this guide will be reviewed by the Director of 
 Price Stabilization and proper documents issued, if the guide is approved. 
 
 Under section 12(g) of CPR 34, a seller subject to the regulation who used a partic¬ 
 ular edition of a flat rate manual during the base period to determine his prices must 
 continue to use the same edition under the regulation and he may not increase the 
 hourly rates he charged during the base period. The seller may not use a new edition 
 of a flat rate manual unless its use has been approved by the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization. 
 
 If a painting or decorating contractor determined his prices during the base period 
 of CPR 34 by use of the price guide edition to which you refer he was required to 
 continue to use it under CPR 34 until the effective date of CPR 93. After the effec¬ 
 tive date of CPR 93, this type of contractor may by qualifying under the provisions 
 of section 5 of that regulation sell or continue to sell a construction service at a 
 ceiling price properly established and reported under CPR 34. Contractors using the 
 provisions of section 5 of CPR 93 may use a new edition of this price guide if its use 
 has been approved by the Director of Price Stabilization. To obtain a review with a 
 view to approval of a new edition of this price guide, its publisher must submit the 
 new edition for review to the Service Trades Branch, OPS, Washington 25, D. C.

 TRANSFER OF ESTABLISHED BUSINESS 
 
 From lessor to lessee 
 
 As owner of a parking lot leased it to a lessee who operated it until the lease ex¬ 
 pired in July, 1951, and thereafter the owner operated it. The question presented is 
 whether the owner has acquired a previously established business under section 13(a) 
 of CPR 34 so as to have the same ceiling prices as his former lessee. 
 
 The owner has acquired a previously established business within the meaning of sec 
 tion 13(a) of CPR 34. One way of acquiring a business is to acquire its physical 
 assets and good will. Upon termination of the lease, the owner acquired the right to 
 possess the parking lot, which was the only important physical asset of the lessee's 
 business. Since the chief attraction to customers of a parking service is the loca¬ 
 tion of the parking lot, the owner also acquired the good will by the termination of 
 the lease. The owner's ceiling prices, therefore, are the same as his lessee's were.

 TRANSFER OF ESTABLISHED BUSINESS 
 Acquisition of parking lot—when operator is transferee and not new seller. 
 
 The property In question was formerly used as a parking lot, the lot had been com¬ 
 pletely closed out, a new party purchased the property and made improvements thereon. 
 
 The gap of time between the closing out of one business and establishing of another 
 has not been stated, although this may not be significant. 
 
 Section 13(a) of CPR 34 is applicable to the acquisition of property for the purpose 
 of carrying on a previously established business. If in fact the new owner carries on a 
 previously established parking lot business, it is immaterial that they acquired the 
 business by way of purchase of real estate or made minor improvements thereto. Whether 
 they are carrying on such a previously established parking lot business should be de- 
 termined from all the facts. Privity of estate between the former and present parking 
 lot operator is not required. However, if upon examination of all available facts it 
 is determined that such substantial improvements have been made by the new owner so as 
 to materially change the character of the parking lot operation, the granting of a price 
 under Section 6 of CPR 34 would be appropriate,

 A service vending machine is installed at a location where no operator had a

 the new operator establishes his ceiling price -under section 6 of CPR 34. If, however, 
 another operator had had a machine at the location immediately or until a reasonable

 with section 13(a) of CPR 34, as amended by Amendment 6, would be required to take

 SERVICES, Chains, new selling units established after 
 January 25, 1951 
 
 Your letter states that as your corporation operates 
 more than one selling unit, Section 13(cj of CPR 34 requires 
 the company to apply under Section 7 for ceiling prices; 
 that that section applies to services which cannot be priced 
 under Sections 5 or 6 of the regulation; that in determining 
 charges for services at new stations, it has been your 
 practice to first ascertain the charges made by competition 
 for similar services; and then establish your prices in line 
 with the prevailing competition; that prior to the issuance 
 of Amendment 1 to CPR 34 which .added paragraph (c) to Section 
 13 you were able to determine prices under Section 6 by 
 taking the ceiling price of the closest competitor in the 
 area; and that Section 13(c) now requires a procedure dif¬ 
 ferent therefrom; and you suggest that you be allowed to 
 continue to price new services at new units under Section 6 
 of CPR 34. 
 
 Section 13(c) of CPR 34 states that if you operate one 
 or more selling units and you open a new unit after January 
 25, 1951, you must apply to OPS for establishment of your 
 ceiling price for that unit under Section 7 of the regulation. 
 In view of that provision this office has no authority at the 
 present time to permit you to price services rendered at new 
 selling units under Section 6 of that regulation. 
 
 Your continued cooperation with the price stabilization 
 program is appreciated.

 FILING REQUIREMENTS, Must describe each service 
 
 The memorandum enclosed a statement of ceiling prices 
 filed by a company which set forth price ranges rather than 
 - *~c prices as, for example, "Sleeves - take in $2.00 - 
 
 Such a statement of prices does not meet the filing 
 and posting requirements of Section 18 of CFR 34. Each 
 service for which a price is filed should be specifically 
 described as, for example, "Sleeves Plain 24" length, worsted - 
 $2.00"; "or shorten bottom of skirt - by hand - 35" width 
 $ 3 . 00 ." 
 
 The subject memorandum states that only one statement 
 is filed for a group of stores and that it has been the 
 position of the Regional Counsel that separate statements 
 must be filed for each store even though the company adopts 
 central pricing, and an opinion is requested with respect to 
 the matter. 
 
 As indicated by the attachments to the memorandum, the 
 company furnishes to each District office a pricing chart 
 of uniform prices specifically designating the names and 
 addresses of the stores in which the services are sold. It 
 would appear that so long as the services rendered and 
 prices charged therefor are uniform and each store maintains 
 its records of sales and posts the pricing chart on its 
 premises, that the provisions of Section 18 have been met.

 EXEMPTIONS, Services - Parking lots as rental of real property. 
 
 The District Counsel has ruled that the owner of a lot who rents 
 space on a monthly basis to a definite number of customers with each 
 space allocated to the tenant and having no transient or part-time 
 parkers and no attendant is renting real estate and not subject to 
 filing under CPR 34, the Services regulation. In your proposed post¬ 
 audit of this matter you state that in your opinion this ruling is 
 incorrect. 
 
 Neither your memorandum nor the memorandum frcm the District Counsel 
 contains sufficient information upon which to base a determination with 
 respect to whether there is the rental of real estate or the rendering 
 of a service. Your attention is directed to a decision of the Emergency 
 Court of Appeals under the Price Control Act of 1942, Carothers et al v. 
 Bowie8. 148 F. 2d 554, 65 S. Ct. 1556, relative to the question whether 
 there was a rental of real estate by persons parking automobiles under a 
 so-called "park and lock space rental" plan. The court in determining 
 that there was the rendering of a storage service subject to price regu¬ 
 lation rather than the rental of real estate said that whether such an 
 operation involves the providing of storage depends upon whether there 
 are present at least some of the incidents which customarily go to make 
 up automobile storage service. Among these may be the grading, paving, 
 lighting and cleaning of this parking lot and the marking upon it of suit 
 able spaces for the parking of automobiles.

 POSTING AND FILING REQUIREMENTS 
 
 Sales outlet—posting and filing in local OPS office required 
 
 Where a laundry maintains a pick-up station in one OPS District and maintains 
 its plant in a different District, it must post its ceiling prices in the pick-up 
 station and file them with the OPS District Office having jurisdiction over the 
 pick-up station. It must also post its ceiling prices in its main plant with 
 reference to business done there, and file such ceiling prices with the OPS Dis¬ 
 trict Office having jurisdiction over its main plant. 
 
 Section 18(f)(2) of CPR 34 requires the posting of ceiling prices in the pick-up 
 station because the requirement of posting in "your establishment" refers to all 
 the places in which the services are furnished. 
 
 In addition, under Sections 18(b)(2) and 27(a)(1), the laundry is required to 
 file its ceiling prices with the OPS District Office for the area in which the 
 pick-up station is located. In particular, Section 27(a)(1), requires filing in 
 the OPS District Office "for the district where your place of business is located 
 and from which your sales are made." The expression "place of business," as here 
 used, is synonymous with the place from which sales are made, and is merely an 
 additional reference to such place.

 FILINGS OF STATEMENTS 
 
 Bracket filings for services of funeral directors. 
 
 The question presented is whether bracket filings by undertakers meet the require¬ 
 ments of Section 18 of CPH 34. 
 
 Undertakers have bracketed funeral charges, principally because caskets which they 
 sold varied in cost. Bracket filings for this industry would, therefore, meet the 
 requirements of Section 18 of CPR 34, provided the maximum bracketed price in each 
 bracket represented a ceiling price. In such case the minimum bracketed price in each 
 such bracket would represent not a ceiling price under Ceiling Price Regulation 34, but 
 a price lower than ceiling which could at least have suasive effect because of the 
 filing. 
 
 The filings by undertakers which set forth bracket prices for services should be 
 permitted if they are based in part on respective bracket costs, provided the filings, 
 among other things, state that the maximum bracket price in each bracket is a ceiling 
 price.

 ADJUSTMENTS FOR CUSTOM SLAUGHTERERS 
 
 Devaluation of hide and by-products received as base period pay. 
 
 During the base period most slaughterers received far their services the hide 
 and other by-products of the animal slaughtered. The price of hides has dropped 
 to such an extent that, dollar-wise, the slaughterer is now receiving substantially 
 less far his services than he received during the base period. 
 
 Where a custom slaughterer during the base period received the hide and other 
 by-products far his services it would appear that he was attempting to establish 
 a dollar and cents value for his services rather than to put himself in the 
 position of speculating in the hides and the by-products. Hence, his ceiling 
 price now for his services would be not to exceed the highest price he received 
 for the hides and by-products during the base period. Conversely, if the price he 
 receives far the hides and by-products should rise above his ceiling price for his 
 services then the custom slaughterer should reduce the price far his services by 
 the amount of the increase in excess of the ceiling price. In light of this 
 reasoning and application thereof, it does not appear that an increase to the 
 slaughterer far these services would result. 
 
 However, the adjustment provisions of Sections 20(a) and 20(b) may be utilized 
 by custom slaughterers if they are able to meet the requirements of such sections.

 Not available where materials charge separately stated 
 
 Repairman historically stated his charges for labor and material separately so 
 that section 11 of CPR 34 would apply. He now seeks adjustment in price of materials. 
 Any such increase must he determined in accordance with the commodity regulation and 
 the application cannot he considered under section 20(a) of CPR 34.

 Services and commodity sales distinguished 
 
 A company, as one of its functions, installs draperies and carpeting. If only a 
 service is performed and the company customarily kept separate profit and loss 
 statements for its carpet and drapery department, such figures may he submitted 
 and an application for adjustment under section. 20(a) can be entertained. However, 
 when the service of installing the carpets or draperies is rendered in connection 
 with the sale of the commodity, the complete transaction is deemed the sale of a 
 commodity subject to the provisions of the appropriate commodity regulation and 
 the seller must apply for an adjustment under such commodity regulation rather 
 than under the services regulation.

 DEFINITIONS 
 
 Class of purchasers 
 
 With respect to services, there is basically no difference between the definition of 
 a "purchaser of the same class" as set forth in Section 22 of the GCPR, and the same 
 term as defined in Section 27(a)(ll) of CPR 34. The definition contained in the serv¬ 
 ices regulation is merely explanatory of the term "purchaser of the same class" as 
 used in the GCPR.

 NOT SALE OF SERVICE 
 
 Commodity sale when processor has title to goods 
 
 A processor converts rough yellow pine lumber into wooden package material which he 
 supplies to a manufacturer of metal articles. Both firms, it may be noted, are cor¬ 
 porations. The question presented is whether the transaction involves the sale of a 
 service, subject to CPR 34, or the sale of a commodity. In the latter case, the sale 
 would be subject to GCPR. 
 
 The supplier purchases rough lumber, processes it into package material, and as 
 such delivers it to the manufacturer, who at that stage acquires title to the 
 finished product. This sequence of events would ordinarily stamp the transaction 
 as the sale of package material. One of the parties, however, points out that other 
 factors are present which would indicate that what is actually involved is the sale 
 of a service. In support of this, it is stated that the manufacturer, some years 
 back, found it impossible to fill his requirements of package material from regular 
 marketing sources. He therefore entered into a cost-plus contract with the supplier, 
 wherein it was provided that the manufacturer would give advance notice of his 
 requirements for each six months' period to the supplier, who would use his best 
 effort to meet these requirements and, in the operation of its planing mill, would 
 give preference to the manufacturer's requirements. If it turned out that any lumber 
 in the supplier's inventory could not be used for package material, such limber 
 would be sold in the open market by the supplier and the proceeds credited to the 
 manufacturer's account. Furthermore, if the contract was terminated by the manu¬ 
 facturer, he would pay for all the yellow pine in the supplier's inventory. In 
 addition, the manufacturer bought the preferred stock in the supplier corporation 
 with the object of financing the purchase of rough lumber; and, in order to safe¬ 
 guard such investment,the preferred stock dividends are guaranteed and the salaries 
 and common stock dividends of the supplier are limited. Because of these various 
 factors influencing the supplier's operations, it is contended that the transaction 
 between the parties amounts, in fact, to a sale of services. 
 
 Despite the above, a conclusion other than that a sale of a commodity is involved 
 would be unwarranted. The significant elements to be considered are: (l) That the 
 supplier purchases and has title to the rough lumber and, (2) That the manufacturer 
 never acquires title to the lumber in any form until it has been fully converted into 
 finished package material and delivered to him. Since the supplier is not working on 
 anything owned by the manufacturer, he is not, in processing this lumber, performing 
 a service for the manufacturer. 
 
 It follows, therefore, that the supplier is selling a commodity and not a service 
 to the manufacturer.

 EMPLOYER FUNCTIONS

 The question has been raised under the following facts as to whether A, a manufac¬ 
 turer, is performing for B, who sells A's products, a service which is covered by CPR 
 34. 
 
 B selects the customers to whom he sells and fixes the prices. His compensation is 
 the difference between his selling price and the price which he is charged by A. 
 Against such compensation, A furnishes B with a drawing account. All orders are taken 
 and billed in A's name. The latter assumes all credit risks and prepays freight, 
 does the bookkeeping, adjusts complaints, carries on all correspondence for B 
 and accepts returns of merchandise. A now wishes to make a charge for those functions 
 which he performs and inquires whether these, in the particular circumstances here 
 involved, constitute services covered by CPR 34 and whether he would have to estab¬ 
 lish a ceiling price for them under such regulation. 
 
 The facts stated indicate that B is merely an employee or agent and hence is not 
 buying either goods or services from A. CPR 34 is therefore not applicable and no 
 ceiling would have to be established for such charges as A might make for carrying 
 out his part of the transaction.

 Executive Order 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), 
 and Economic Stabilization Agency Gen¬ 
 eral Order No. 2 <16 F. R. 738) this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 1 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 statement or considerations 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 1 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 establishes 
 dollars and cents prices for wholesale 
 dry cleaning, finishing and dyeing serv¬ 
 ices in the New York City area. The 
 services supplied by the wholesalers of 
 dry cleaning, finishing and dyeing serv¬ 
 ices in the New York City area and 
 covering the following counties in New 
 York State: Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New 
 York, Queens, Richmond, Suffolk and 
 Westchester have been provided at sub¬ 
 stantially uniform prices for many years 
 antedating the issuance of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. No increase has been 
 made in the price structure since 1947 
 except for minor readjustments, mainly 
 in the price of service on children’s gar¬ 
 ments. A wage increase in 1950 and 
 sharply increased costs in the latter part 
 of 1950 have brought the average earn¬ 
 ings of the industry in this area close to 
 the breakeven point. On April 1, 1951 
 a wage increase was granted by the in¬ 
 dustry, which was approved by the Wage 
 Stabilization Board. The effect of the 
 latter increase will result in the reduc¬ 
 tion of such industry’s average earnings 
 to a loss position and jeopardize the con¬ 
 tinued supply of the service. 
 
 The existence of uniform prices, 
 standardized service and similar earn¬ 
 ings experience facilitate the establish¬ 
 ment of dollars and cents prices. In the 
 judgment of the Director, the prices 
 established in this Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation are at the minimum levels which 
 will permit the continued supply of serv¬ 
 ice. The industry, including representa¬ 
 tives of trade associations, has been con¬ 
 sulted in the preparation of this Regula¬ 
 tion. In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the prices established 
 by this Supplementary Regulation 1 are 
 generally fair and equitable and are nec¬ 
 essary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950.

 AND COMMERCIAL LAUNDRY SERVICES IN 
 
 THE VIRGIN ISLANDS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950. as amended (Public Law 774, 
 81st Cong... Public Law 96, 82d Cong.), 
 Executive Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), 
 and Economic Stabilization Agency Gen¬ 
 eral Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Ter¬ 
 ritorial Supplementary Regulation 1 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Territorial Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 1 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 establishes dollar and cents ceiling prices 
 for retail dry cleaning and finishing and 
 commercial laundry services sold in the 
 Virgin Islands of the United States. The 
 services supplied by dry cleaning and 
 finishing establishments in the Virgin 
 Islands have been provided at substan¬ 
 tially uniform prices for the past four 
 years. 
 
 In spite of a wage increase and sharply 
 increased costs during 1950, the dry- 
 cleaning industry, at the time the Gen¬ 
 eral Ceiling Price Regulation was is¬ 
 sued. had not increased its prices. The 
 GCPR freeze, therefore, caught the dry- 
 cleaning industry at a time when its 
 profit margin was very low. Since the 
 issuance of the GCPR, and subsequently 
 of CPR-34, costs have continued to rise 
 while the ceiling price has remained the 
 same. 
 
 During the summer of 1951 the dry- 
 cleaning industry petitioned for relief 
 and an independent study of its earnings 
 was conducted. It has been determined 
 that the average earnings of the industry 
 are now close to the break-even point and 
 threaten to jeopardize the continued 
 supply of the service. However, because 
 of the absence of base period earnings 
 experience, it was impossible to deter¬ 
 mine an increase factor strictly in ac¬ 
 cordance with the industry earnings 
 standard. This territorial supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, therefore, estab¬ 
 lishes dollars and cents ceiling prices 
 which will, on the average, be from 7 to 
 10 percent higher than present ceilings 
 under CPR 34. It is expected that these 
 new ceiling prices will yield sellers of dry 
 cleaning and finishing services in the 
 Virgin Islands a margin which would re¬ 
 turn earnings in line with the policy of 
 the earnings standard. The ceiling prices 
 - established for commercial laundry serv¬ 
 
 ices by this territorial supplementary 
 regulation are the same as the CPR 34 
 ceiling prices. 
 
 In formulating this territorial supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, the Director of Price 
 Stabilization has consulted with repre¬ 
 sentatives of the industry and has given 
 full consideration to their recommenda¬ 
 tions. In the judgment of the Director, 
 the prices established by this territorial 
 supplementary regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161 (15 F. R. -6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Amendment to Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 1 (16 F. R. 5698) 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 (16 F. R. 
 4446) is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Supplementary 
 Regulation 1 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 authorizes wholesalers of dry clean¬ 
 ing, finishing and dyeing services in 
 Westchester County, New York, to revert 
 to prevailing prices charged prior to June 
 14, 1951 for cleaning and finishing cer¬ 
 tain garments. 
 
 Since 1942, prices for wholesale clean¬ 
 ing and finishing services have been 
 slightly higher in Westchester County 
 than in the other seven counties in the 
 New York City area. At the time Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 1 was issued, the 
 fact that there existed in Westchester 
 County a slightly higher price differen¬ 
 tial for the cleaning and finishing of 
 certain garments was not taken into con¬ 
 sideration when the schedule of prices 
 was prepared, thus resulting in a roll¬ 
 back of certain prices charged by five or 
 six plants servicing this County. There¬ 
 fore, this action not only precluded the 
 
 recovery of increased labor and material 
 costs by those plants, but instead re¬ 
 duced some of their prices. 
 
 This amendment merely restores to 
 wholesalers selling services in West¬ 
 chester County prices prevailing prior to 
 the issuance of Supplementary Regula¬ 
 tion 1 for cleaning and finishing certain 
 garments. 
 
 The limited nature of the provisions 
 of this amendment to Supplementary 
 Regulation 1 made it unnecessary to con¬ 
 sult formally with industry representa¬ 
 tives. However, various representatives 
 from the affected service fields were in¬ 
 formally consulted and consideration 
 was given to their recommendations. In 
 the judgment of the Director of Price 
 Stabilization the provisions of this reg¬ 
 ulation are generally fair and equitable 
 and are necessary to effectuate the pur¬ 
 poses of Title IV of the Defense Produc¬ 
 tion Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 1 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby amended 
 in the following respects: 
 
 1. Paragraph (a) of section 3 is 
 amended by adding in the first sentence 
 after “Westchester”, the following, 
 “(with certain exceptions set forth in 
 subparagraph (3)) ”, so that section 3(a) 
 reads as follows: 
 
 Sec. 3. Ceiling prices, (a) The ceiling 
 prices which may be charged by sellers 
 of wholesale cleaning, finishing and dye¬ 
 ing services in the counties of Bronx, 
 Kings, Nassau, New York, Queens, Rich¬ 
 mond, Suffolk and Westchester (with 
 certain exceptions set forth in subpara¬ 
 graph (3) of this paragraph), New York, 
 shall be as follows: 
 
 2. The subparagraph entitled “(a)” of 
 paragraph (a) of section 3 is amended 
 by striking the letter “(a)” in the first 
 line thereof and inserting in its place the 
 figure “(1)”. 
 
 3. The subparagraph entitled “(b)” of 
 paragraph (a) of section 3 is amended 
 by striking the letter “(b)” in the first 
 line thereof and inserting in its place the 
 figure “(2)”. 
 
 4. A new subparagraph (3) is added 
 to paragraph (a) of section 3 to read as 
 follows: 
 
 (3) Certain exceptions in Westchester 
 County, New York. In the area begin¬ 
 ning with the Bronx-Westchester line 
 and extending north, east and west to the 
 limits of and including the City of White 
 Plains, the ceiling prices for “Sales to 
 Outlets”, “Cleaned and Finished”, for 
 Men’s, Women’s and Children’s Suits, 
 Topcoats, Overcoats and Children’s 
 Dresses and Ladies Dresses (plain—up to 
 4 pleats) shall be $.60. In the area be¬ 
 ginning with the North City Line of the 
 City of White Plains and extending 
 north, east and west for the remainder 
 of Westchester County, the ceiling prices 
 for “Sales to Outlets”, “Cleaned and 
 Finished” for Men’s, Women’s and Chil¬ 
 dren’s Suits, Topcoats, Overcoats and 
 Children’s Dresses and Ladies’ Dresses 
 (plain—up to 4 pleats) shall be $.60; for 
 “Sales to Outlets”, “cleaned only”, the 
 ceiling prices for Men’s, Women’s and 
 Children’s Suits, and Children’s Dresses 
 and Ladies’ Dresses (plain—up to 4 
 pleats) shall be $.30. All other prices 
 in Schedule A are applicable to whole¬ 
 sale dry cleaning and finishing and dye¬ 
 ing services in Westchester County, New 
 York. 
 
 Effective date. This amendment shall 
 become effective on August 27, 1951.

 IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Terri¬ 
 torial Supplementary Regulation to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Territorial Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 2 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 establishes dollars - and - cents ceiling 
 prices for sales at retail in the Virgin 
 Islands of the United States, of the serv¬ 
 ices of recapping and retreading of pas¬ 
 senger car tires and recapping of truck 
 tires. Previously, sales of such services 
 were covered by Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 which froze the seller’s prices at the 
 levels prevailing in the period December 
 19. 1950, to January 25, 1951. 
 
 The recapping and retreading of tires 
 is a relatively new and important service 
 in the Virgin Islands. Heretofore, per¬ 
 sons desiring such services were obliged 
 to ship their tire carcasses to Puerto 
 Rico for processing. This was an expen¬ 
 sive method since, in addition to the cost 
 of recapping or retreading, the customer 
 incurred transportation costs to and 
 from Puerto Rico. 
 
 Prices for recapping and retreading 
 services have been fairly stable over the 
 past two years, due principally to com¬ 
 petition. Recently, however, one of the 
 two plants in operation in the Virgin 
 Islands discontinued the service. At 
 present, the sole supplier of recapping 
 and retreading services is located on the 
 island of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, 
 which is the servicing center for the 
 Virgin Islands. It is, therefore, desirable 
 to establish retail dollars-and-cents ceil¬ 
 ing prices for these services to prevent 
 
 individual price variations, and to fur¬ 
 nish guidance to purchasers on the is¬ 
 lands or St. Croix and St. John as to the 
 current authorized prices they should 
 pay for these services. 
 
 The ceiling prices established by this 
 Territorial Supplementary Regulation 
 are the same prices that were charged 
 for these services in this area during the 
 base period December 19, 1950, to Janu¬ 
 ary 25, 1951. 
 
 In formulating this Territorial Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation, the Director of 
 Price Stabilization has consulted with 
 representatives of the industry and has 
 given full consideration to their recom¬ 
 mendations. In the judgment of the 
 Director, the prices established by this 
 territorial price regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title TV of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 SR 2—COTTON GINNING 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive 
 Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Eco¬ 
 nomic Stabilization Agency General 
 Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 2 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits cot¬ 
 ton ginners to increase their cotton 
 ginning, bailing and wrapping rates per 
 bale during the regular ginning season 
 commencing with the regular 1951 cotton 
 ginning season. The increase permitted 
 is 6 percent above the rates prevailing 
 during the regular 1950 cotton ginning 
 season. Thus, if during the regular 
 1950 cotton ginning season, a cotton 
 ginner charged $12 for ginning, baling 
 and wrapping, he may now charge 6 per¬ 
 cent more for these services, or $12.72. 
 Under section 8 of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34, which relates to seasonal services, 
 a distinction was made for services 
 which employed less than eight indi¬ 
 viduals. This supplementary regula¬ 
 tion applies to all cotton ginners regard¬ 
 less of the number of employees. In 
 section 8 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 the percentage increase in rates over 
 those charged in 1950 allowed to those 
 engaged in seasonal services, such as 
 cotton ginners, decreased with the 
 passage of time, so that, for example, 
 those who ginned in May through June 
 were permitted a 7 percent increase over 
 1950 rates, while those who ginned in 
 September were permitted only a 4 per¬ 
 cent increase. Since the season for 
 cotton ginning does not begin at the 
 same time for all sections in cotton pro¬ 
 ducing areas, such section 8 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 was unfair to those 
 who ginned later in the year in the 
 
 more northerly cotton ginning areas, 
 because cotton ginners, by and large, 
 make their commitments in the early 
 spring so that their costs and cost in¬ 
 creases were generally uniform. The 6 
 percent adjustment hereby permitted 
 will tend generally to equalize the return 
 to cotton ginners irrespective of the 
 geographical location of their cotton 
 gins. 
 
 The costs of ginning cotton have risen 
 appreciably since the end of the regular 
 1950 cotton ginning season due to the 
 increased cost of labor and material. A 
 study of typical costs reveals that 
 between the regular 1950 and 1951 cotton 
 ginning seasons, direct labor costs have 
 risen by an estimated 71 cents per bale 
 and that the cost of wrapping (which 
 includes bagging and ties) has risen by 
 approximately 50 cents per bale. On 
 the basis of this information, it would 
 appear that the average increase in di¬ 
 rect labor and material costs per bale 
 is in excess of 10 percent of the 1950 
 average ginning, wrapping and baling 
 charge. The large cotton crop esti¬ 
 mated for 1951, together with the fact 
 that this is a decreasing cost industry, 
 indicates that the 6 percent increase 
 permitted in the supplementary regula¬ 
 tion will be sufficient to allow cotton gin¬ 
 ners their normal margin of profit. 
 
 The immediate need to provide for the 
 hardship in which the cotton ginning In¬ 
 dustry has found itself inhibited con¬ 
 sultation formally with industry repre¬ 
 sentatives. However, various represent¬ 
 atives from the affected service fields 
 were informally consulted and consid¬ 
 eration was given to their recommenda¬ 
 tions. In the judgment of the Director 
 of Price Stabilization the provisions of 
 this regulation are generally fair and 
 equitable and are necessary to effectuate 
 the purposes of Title IV of the Defense 
 Production Act of 1950, as amended.

 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 2 
 (16 F. R. 738), this Supplementary Reg¬ 
 ulation 3 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Paragraph (g) of section 12 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34, provides that if dur¬ 
 ing the base period December 19, 1950, 
 to January 25, 1951, inclusive, a person 
 subject to the regulation used a flat rate 
 manual to determine a price, such person 
 must continue to use the same manual 
 and that he may not use a new edition 
 of such manual unless the use of that 
 manual has been approved by the Direc¬ 
 tor of Price Stabilization. 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 3 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 is being is¬ 
 sued to provide a single repository for 
 such flat rate manuals or labor schedules 
 as the Director of Price Stabilization may 
 approve. In addition to the manuals or 
 labor schedules which are initially ap¬ 
 proved in this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion, a provision is made to expand the 
 list issued since the base period, when 
 the publishers of such manuals or labox 1, 
 schedules submit them for approval. 
 
 The flat rate manuals or labor sched¬ 
 ules, for which approval has been re¬ 
 quested and which by this Supplemen¬ 
 tary Regulation 3 is granted are: 
 
 (a) Motor’s Factory Flat Rate and 
 Shop Manual, 23rd Edition 1951; 
 
 (b) Packard Flat Rate Manual, 24th 
 Series, Form Lr-207A, March, 1951; 
 
 (c) Allis-Chalmers Farm Tractor 
 Manual for Models WC, CA and G, 
 March, 1951; 
 
 (d) Implement and Tractor Shop 
 Book, Volume II, 1951 Edition. 
 
 (e) Chilton’s Motor Age Flat Rate and 
 Service Manual, 22nd Edition, 1951. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, the user of the flat 
 rate manuals or labor schedules is re¬ 
 quired to apply his customers’ hourly 
 rate established under Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 to the labor time allow¬ 
 ances listed for the various automotive 
 and farm tractor jobs in the manuals 
 or schedules. 
 
 The publisher of each flat rate manual 
 or labor schedule, which is approved in 
 this supplementary regulation, shall 
 notify each user of such approval. 
 
 A new user of a new edition or new flat 
 rate manual or labor schedule must file 
 a statement with his local OPS district 
 office setting forth the name and edition 
 of the manual or labor schedule, the 
 services to be priced thereunder and his 
 customers’ hourly rate. The OPS, how¬ 
 ever, reserves the right within 10 days 
 thereafter to disapprove of that rate. A 
 user of an existing manual or schedule 
 for certain services, who applies to his 
 local OPS district office for permission 
 to substitute therefor a new edition of a 
 flat rate manual or labor schedule may 
 do so after a waiting period of 10 days, 
 if within that time his application is not 
 disapproved by that district office. A 
 provision is included in the regulation 
 permitting a dealer who adds a make of 
 vehicle to his dealership, or who changes 
 his dealership from one manufacturer to 
 another, to use the manufacturers’ ap¬ 
 proved factory manuals or labor 
 schedules for the make of vehicle added 
 to the dealership or to which the dealer 
 has changed. 
 
 A new seller establishing his price 
 under sections 6 or 7 of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 must use approved edi¬ 
 tions of the flat rate manuals or labor 
 schedules used by his closest competitor 
 if his closest competitor uses flat rate 
 manuals or labor schedules. 
 
 Consideration of the labor time allow¬ 
 ances listed in these publications shows 
 that the use of these manuals or sched¬ 
 ules will not generally increase the level 
 of prices for automotive and farm trac¬ 
 tor repair services, and will permit the 
 users of such manuals or schedules to use 
 their customary pricing method in de¬ 
 termining the price for various repair 
 jobs for which the labor time allowance 
 may be modified or changed due to 
 changes in late model equipment. 
 
 The routine character of the provisions 
 of this supplementary regulation made 
 it unnecessary to consult formally with 
 industry representatives, although wher¬ 
 ever feasible various representatives 
 from service fields were informally con¬ 
 sulted and consideration was given to 
 their recommendations. In the judg¬ 
 ment of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion the provisions of this regulation are 
 generally fair and equitable and are 
 necessary to effectuate the purposes of 
 Title IV of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended.

 Section 1. What this supplementary 
 regulation does. This supplementary 
 regulation permits sellers of automotive 
 and farm tractor repair services to es¬ 
 tablish ceiling prices for such services 
 by multiplying their established custom¬ 
 ers’ hourly rate by the applicable labor 
 time allowances specified in the respec¬

 Sec. 3. Persons using manuals or labor 
 schedules —(a) Sellers who did not use 
 a flat rate manual or labor schedule dur¬ 
 ing the base period. If you are a seller 
 of automotive or farm tractor repair 
 services and during the base period you 
 did not use a flat rate manual or labor 
 schedule to determine the hourly time 
 allowance for all or a part of your serv¬ 
 ices but desire to do so now you may 
 select a specific edition of a flat rate 
 manual or labor schedule that has been 
 approved by this supplementary regu¬ 
 lation. After selecting such edition or 
 such new manual or schedule, you must 
 file with your district office of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization a statement or sup¬ 
 plementary statement identifying the 
 manual or schedule selected and the 
 types of repair services not previously 
 priced by this method to which your 
 selection applies and showing your cus¬ 
 tomers’ hourly rate. 
 
 You must then use the edition or new 
 manual or schedule that you have se¬ 
 lected to determine the time allowance 
 for those repair services, unless you are 
 notified by your district office within 10 
 days after filing your statement that 
 such use has been disapproved, in which 
 
85 Serv 32:502 
 
 event you shall immediately discontinue 
 the use of that edition or new manual 
 or schedule for the named services and 
 otherwise comply with the terms of that 
 notice. You may not, however, in any 
 event increase the customers’ hourly rate 
 which you charged in the base period. 
 
 (b) Sellers who used a flat rate man¬ 
 ual or labor schedule during the base 
 :period . If you are a seller of automo¬ 
 tive or farm tractor repair services and 
 during the base period you used flat rate 
 manuals or labor schedules to determine 
 the hourly time allowance for all or part 
 of your such services, you must continue 
 to use the same manuals or schedules 
 now, for the same services. You may 
 substitute therefor a subsequent edition 
 of any such manual or schedule which is 
 approved by this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion, for the same services. Such sub¬ 
 stitution may be made 10 days after you 
 file with your district office of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization a statement identi¬ 
 fying the new edition of the manual or 
 schedule to be used, and stating that the 
 repair services to be priced by reference 
 to the manual are identical with those 
 theretofore determined by the manual 
 or schedule being replaced as reported to 
 the Office of Price Stabilization by you 
 under section 18 of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 unless within that period of time 
 such district office notifies you that such 
 use has been disapproved. You may 
 not however in any event increase the 
 customers’ hourly rate which you 
 charged in the base period and reported 
 to the Office of Price Stabilization under 
 section 18 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 (c) Dealers. If you are a dealer who 
 used a flat rate manual or labor schedule 
 issued by the manufacturer for whom 
 you are a dealer to determine the hourly 
 time allowance for certain automotive 
 or farm tractor repair services of a 
 manufacturer’s products during the base 
 period, and since January 25, 1951 you 
 have become a dealer for another manu¬ 
 facturer, you may use a flat rate manual 
 or labor schedule which such other 
 manufacturer issues to determine the 
 hourly rate applicable to his products 
 for repair services you sell, if such man¬ 
 uals or labor schedules or additions 
 thereof were issued prior to January 26, 
 1951 or are approved by this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation. If no such ap¬ 
 proval has been had you must in deter¬ 
 mining the hourly time allowance for 
 such services comply with the provisions 
 of paragraph (a) of this section. 
 
 For all other repair services for which 
 you use or desire to use a flat rate 
 manual or labor schedule to determine 
 the time allowance during the base pe¬ 
 riod you will be governed by the provi¬ 
 sions of paragraph (a) or (b) of this 
 section. 
 
 (d) New seller. If you are a new 
 seller of automotive or farm tractor re¬ 
 pair services and establish your ceiling 
 price pursuant to sections 6 or 7 of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34, you must, if 
 your closest competitor uses a flat rate 
 manual or labor schedule to determine 
 the time allowance for such repair serv¬ 
 ices, use the editions thereof approved 
 by this supplementary regulation and 
 
 otherwise comply with the applicable 
 provisions of paragraph (a) of this 
 section. 
 
 Sec. 4. Approval of additional manuals 
 mid schedules and amendments. Any 
 publisher of a flat rate manual or labor 
 schedule who issues a new edition of such 
 flat rate manual or labor schedule which 
 supersedes, supplements or modifies the 
 labor time allowance in previous editions 
 of such flat rate manual or labor sched¬ 
 ule in use during the base period, De¬ 
 cember 19, 1950 to January 25, 1951 in¬ 
 clusive, or a publisher of a new flat rate 
 manual or labor schedule may apply to 
 the Director of Price Stabilization for 
 approval of such flat rate manual or 
 labor schedule, which approval if the re¬ 
 quirements are 'met, will be granted 
 through an amendment of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, and an additional 
 appendix setting forth the requirements 
 for the use of such manual will be added 
 to this supplementary regulation. 
 
 Effective date. This Supplementary 
 Regulation shall become effective on 
 September 4, 1951. 
 
 Note: The record-keeping and reporting 
 requirements of this regulation have been 
 approved by the Bureau of the Budget in 
 accordance with the Federal Reports ACt of 
 1942.

 Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Eco¬ 
 nomic Stabilization Agency General 
 Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Amend¬ 
 ment 1 to Supplementary Regulation 3 
 (16 F. R. 8828) to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34, is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 3 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34, issued August 30, 
 1951 (16 F. R. 8828) granted approval 
 and provided methods for the use of cer¬ 
 tain flat rate manuals and labor sched¬ 
 ules used by suppliers of automotive and 
 farm tractor repair services under sec¬ 
 tion 12 (g) of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34. Section 4 of that supplementary 
 regulation provide that approval of ad¬ 
 ditional flat rate manuals or labor 
 schedules would be granted, if OPS re¬ 
 quirements are met, by an amendment 
 to the supplementary regulation. This 
 amendment adds approved flat rate 
 manuals or labor schedules to that sup¬ 
 plementary regulation. 
 
 These flat rate manuals and schedules 
 incorporate time allowance modifica¬ 
 tions resulting from changes in design; 
 changed or added operations; correc¬ 
 tions of typographical or clerical errors 
 which appeared in previous issues of 
 these manual or labor schedules; re¬ 
 vised time allowances for restudied oper¬ 
 ations. An analysis of such changes in¬ 
 dicates that they will not in the overall 
 increase the price of automobile and 
 farm tractor repair services to the con¬ 
 sumer. 
 
 The considerations which were set 
 forth in the Statement of Considerations 
 to Supplementary Regulation 3 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 are equally ap¬ 
 plicable to the approval of the flat rate 
 manuals and labor schedules approved 
 by this amendment. 
 
 The routine character of the approval 
 granted by this amendment made it un¬ 
 necessary and impracticable to consult 
 formally with industry representatives, 
 
 although in each instance representa¬ 
 tives of the publishers of the manuals 
 and labor schedules were consulted, and 
 consideration was given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. In the judgment of the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization the provi¬ 
 sions of this amendment are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 D3fense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 3 to Ceil- 
 in Price Regulation 34 is amended in the

 der 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Amendment 2 to 
 Supplementary Regulation 3 (16 F. R. 
 8828) to Ceiling Price Regulation 34, is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment adds preliminary 
 Diesel Engine Flat Rate Manual (cover¬ 
 ing Diesel Engines and associated units 
 of GMC H-Model trucks with 4 and 6 
 cylinder engines); and 1951 supplement 
 to Chevrolet Body Flat Rate Schedule, to 
 the list of approved flat rate manuals 
 and labor schedules in section 2 of Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 3 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. 
 
 The list includes a new flat rate man¬ 
 ual establishing time allowances for re¬ 
 pair services rendered in connection with 
 GMC H-Model Diesel powered trucks. 
 Prior to the issuance of this flat rate 
 manual the time allowances for such 
 operations have varied widely between 
 suppliers of such services. 
 
 The Statements of Consideration 
 which accompanied Supplementary Reg¬ 
 ulation 3 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 and Amendment 1 to that regulation are 
 equally applicable to this amendment 
 and are incorporated herein by this ref¬ 
 erence. 
 
 The routine character of the approval 
 granted by this amendment made it 
 impracticable and unnecessary to con¬ 
 sult formally with representatives of the 
 industry, although in each instance rep¬ 
 resentatives of the publishers of the 
 manuals were consulted, and considera¬ 
 
 tion was given to their recommendations. 
 In the judgment of the Director of Price 
 Stabilization the provisions of this 
 amendment are generally fair and equi¬ 
 table and are necessary to effectuate the 
 purposes of Title IV of the Defense Pro¬ 
 duction Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 3 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 is amended in

 gines );

 Appendix Q. 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50 U. S. C.

 MODIFICATION OF FILING REQUIREMENTS FOR

 REPAIR SERVICE SELLERS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Amendment 4 to 
 Supplementary Regulation 3 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 4 to Supplementary 
 Regulation 3 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34, modifies the filing requirements un¬ 
 der section 3 (b) of this supplementary 
 regulation as they affect automotive and 
 farm tractor repair service suppliers who 
 used flat rate manuals or labor sched¬ 
 ules to determine their ceiling prices 
 during the base period, December 19, 
 1950 to January 25, 1951, inclusive. The 
 principal amendatory change accom¬ 
 plished herein is the elimination of the 
 requirement that the selection of a new 
 edition or supplement of the fiat rate 
 manual or schedule used in the base pe¬ 
 riod be filed with the OPS District Of¬ 
 fice as a supplement as required under 
 section 18 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 The Director of Price Stabilization has 
 been advised that the filing of the selec¬ 
 tion of a new edition of a flat rate man¬ 
 ual or labor schedule, in the place of an 
 edition of the same manual or schedule 
 used during the base period, by sellers of 
 automotive and farm tractor repair serv¬ 
 ices may impose an undue burden upon, 
 such sellers. 
 
 To ease the burden, this amendment 
 provides that such sellers who used one 
 
 of these manuals or labor schedules in 
 the base period may use a new edition 
 of the same manual or labor schedule 
 without the necessity of new filings. In 
 such case, these sellers must, within ten 
 days after they have elected to use such 
 a new edition, post in their places of 
 business a notice that they are now using 
 a new edition of the same manual or 
 labor schedule which they formerly used. 
 
 The changes in the filing requirements 
 made by this amendment with respect to 
 base period users of flat rate manuals 
 and labor schedules have also necessi¬ 
 tated an amendment to limit reference 
 to supplementary filings in the appen¬ 
 dices and the “Notices” issued there¬ 
 under. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there was consultation with industry 
 representatives, including trade associa¬ 
 tion representatives, to the extent prac¬ 
 ticable, and consideration was given to 
 their recommendations. In the judg¬ 
 ment of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion the provisions of this amendment 
 are generally fair and equitable and are 
 necessary to effectuate the purposes of 
 Title IV of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 1. Section 3 (b) of Supplementary 
 Regulation 3 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 is amended to read as follows: 
 
 (b) Sellers who used a flat rate man¬ 
 ual or labor schedule during the base 
 :period. If you are a seller of automo¬ 
 tive or farm tractor repair services and 
 during the base period you used a flat 
 rate manual or labor schedule to deter¬ 
 mine your hourly time allowance for all 
 or part of such services, you must con¬ 
 tinue to use the same manual or sched¬ 
 ule now, for the same services, or sub¬ 
 stitute therefor a subsequent edition of 
 any such manual or schedule which is 
 approved by this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion, for the same services. Within ten 
 days after you substitute an approved 
 subsequent edition of such manual or 
 schedule you must post in your place of 
 business a notice identifying the new 
 edition of the manual or schedule to be 
 
 used and indicating the jobs for which 
 you propose to use the new edition. You 
 may not, however, in any event increase 
 the customers’ hourly rate which you 
 charged in the base period and reported 
 to the Office of Price Stabilization under 
 section 18 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 2. Paragraph numbered (3) of Ap¬ 
 pendices B. C, D, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, 
 M, N, O, P, Q, R and S, and paragraph 
 numbered (4) of Appendices A and E 
 of Supplementary Regulation 3, as 
 amended, are amended to read as 
 follows: 
 
 Where you did not use a previous edition 
 of this Manual for the Job during the base 
 period, the supplementary statement which 
 you file shows that such Job Is included 
 among those Jobs for which you will here¬ 
 after determine your celling price by the use 
 of this Manual. (You must file with your 
 District OPS Office In accordance with sec¬ 
 tion 18 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 a 
 statement of your intention to use all or any 
 part of this Manual for determining your 
 celling price of any of your Jobs for which 
 you did not use an earlier edition of this 
 Manual during the base period December 19, 
 1950 to January 25, 1951, Inclusive. 
 
 3. A new paragraph numbered (4) 
 is added to Appendices B, C, D, F, G, H, 
 I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R and S, and 
 a new paragraph numbered (5) is added

 to use this Manual states that such Job Is 
 Included among the Jobs for which you will 
 hereafter determine your celling price by 
 the use of this Manual.

 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment adds various flat rate 
 manuals and labor schedules and supple¬ 
 ments thereof to the list of approved 
 flat rate manuals and labor schedules in 
 section 2 of Supplementary Regulation 
 3 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 The Statements of Consideration 
 which accompanied Supplementary Reg¬ 
 ulation 3 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 and Amendment 1 to that regulation are 
 equally applicable to this amendment 
 and are incorporated herein by this ref¬ 
 erence. 
 
 The character of the approval granted 
 by this amendment made it impractic¬ 
 able and unnecessary to consult formally 
 with representatives of the industry and 
 trade associations although in each in¬ 
 stance representatives of the publishers 
 of the manuals were consulted and con¬ 
 sideration was given to their recommen¬ 
 dations. In the judgment of the Direc¬ 
 tor of Price Stabilization the provisions 
 of this amendment are generally fair 
 and equitable and are necessary to effec¬ 
 tuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 2 
 (16 F. R. 738), this Amendment 6 to 
 Supplementary Regulation 3 (16 F. R.

 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment adds various flat rate 
 manuals and labor schedules and sup¬ 
 plements thereof to the list of approved 
 flat rate manuals and labor schedules 
 in section 2 of Supplementary Regula¬ 
 tion 3 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 The Statements of Consideration 
 which accompanied Supplementary 
 Regulation 3 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34. and Amendment 1 to that regulation 
 are equally applicable to this amend¬ 
 ment and are incorporated herein by 
 this reference. 
 
 The character of the approval granted 
 by this amendment made it impractica¬ 
 ble and unnecessary to consult formally 
 with representatives of the industry and 
 trade associations although in each in¬ 
 stance representatives of the publishers 
 of the manuals were consulted and con¬ 
 sideration was given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. In the judgment of the 
 Director of Price Stabilization the provi¬ 
 sions of this amendment are generally 
 fair ahd equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment adds various flat rate 
 manuals and labor schedules and supple¬ 
 ments thereof to the list of approved flat 
 rate manuals and labor schedules in sec¬ 
 tion 2 of Supplementary Regulation 3 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 The Statements of Consideration 
 which accompanied Supplementary Reg¬ 
 ulation 3 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 and Amendment 1 to that regulation are 
 equally applicable to this amendment 
 and are incorporated herein by this ref¬ 
 erence. 
 
 The character of the approval granted

 ble and unnecessary to consult formally 
 with representatives of the industry and 
 trAde associations although in each in¬ 
 stance representatives of the publishers 
 of the manuals were consulted and con¬ 
 sideration was given to their recommen¬ 
 dations. In the judgment of the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization the provi¬ 
 sions of this amendment are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended

 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment adds a supplement to 
 a flat rate manual to the list of approved

 INTERIM MODIFICATIONS OR SUPPLEMENTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive 
 Order 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 10 to Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 3 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment provides for approv¬ 
 al of interim modifications or supple- 
 ihents of a minor or routine character 
 covering time allowances for operations 
 or combinations of operations contained 
 in an edition of or supplement to a flat 
 rate manual or labor schedule previously 
 specifically approved by OPS or pub¬ 
 lished prior to January 26, 1951, which 
 it would be impracticable or uneconomic 
 to withhold from the repair trade until 
 such time as it becomes feasible to in¬ 
 clude them in a new edition of, or major 
 supplement to, the manuals or sched¬ 
 ules affected. Such minor or routine 
 changes and supplemental time allow¬ 
 ances are customarily released by manu¬ 
 facturers in the form of manufacturers’ 
 service bulletins, or supplemental dated 
 pages for insertion in loose-leaf type 
 binders. Irrespective of any such in¬ 
 terim approval, however, a new edition 
 
 of or major supplement to a flat rate 
 manual or labor schedule published 
 thereafter may include all modifications 
 or time allowances submitted to OPS for 
 approval as provided by this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation. 
 
 A new section is added to the supple¬ 
 mentary regulation authorizing such 
 interim approval and specifying the in¬ 
 formation required in an application 
 therefor. Approvals will be granted by 
 Special Order and published in the Fed¬ 
 eral Register, since such interim modi¬ 
 fication or establishment of time allow¬ 
 ances will ordinarily apply to a number 
 of sellers using the manuals or labor 
 schedules. 
 
 The character of the approval granted 
 by this amendment made it impracti¬ 
 cable and unnecessary to consult for¬ 
 mally with representatives of the indus¬ 
 try and trade associations, although in 
 each instance representatives of the pub¬ 
 lishers of the manuals were consulted 
 and consideration was given to their rec¬ 
 ommendations. In the judgment of the 
 Director of Price Stabilization the pro¬ 
 visions of this amendment are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 3 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 is amended by 
 adding a new section 5 to read as follows: 
 
 Sec. 5. Approval of minor or routine 
 interim modifications of or supplements 
 to approved manuals and schedules, (a) 
 Any publisher of a flat rate manual or 
 labor schedule approved under section 2, 
 as amended, of this supplementary regu¬ 
 lation or published prior to January 26, 
 1951 who wishes to issue minor or routine 
 modification of or supplement to such 
 
 manual or schedule of the nature cus¬ 
 tomarily issued by the publisher as an 
 interim matter pending publication of a 
 new edition of his flat rate manual or 
 labor schedule, may apply under this sec¬ 
 tion for an order approving the use of 
 such interim modification or supplement 
 
 (b) The application should be ad¬ 
 dressed to the Director, Office of Price 
 Stabilization, Washington 25, D. C., and 
 should include: 
 
 (1) The name and address of the 
 applicant; 
 
 (2) The name and edition of the man¬ 
 ual or labor schedule being modified or 
 supplemented, and the operation or com¬ 
 bination of operations which are to be 
 modified or added by the supplement; 
 
 (3) Two copies of the part of the 
 manufacturers’ service bulletin which 
 contains the proposed modification or 
 supplement reprinted page or other 
 method by which the users of the man¬ 
 ual or schedule will be notified of the 
 approved change in time allowance. 
 
 (c) If the application is approved, 
 OPS will issue and publish in the Federal 
 Register a special order, subject io such 
 terms and conditions as OPS shall deem 
 to be appropriate, approving such in¬ 
 terim modifications or supplements. 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50 TJ. S. C. 
 App. Sup. 2154) 
 
 Effective date. This Amendment 10 
 to Supplementary Regulation 3 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 shall be effective 
 October 15, 1952. 
 
 Note: The record-keeping and reporting 
 requirements of this regulation have been 
 approved by the Bureau of the Budget In 
 accordance with the Federal Reports Act 
 of 1942.

 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment adds various flat rate 
 manuals and labor schedules and sup¬ 
 plements thereof to the list of approved 
 flat rate manuals and labor schedules in 
 section 2 of Supplementary Regulation 3 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 The Statement of Considerations 
 which accompanied Supplementary Reg¬ 
 ulation 3 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 and Amendment 1 to that regulation are 
 equally applicable to this amendment 
 and are incorporated herein by this ref¬ 
 erence. 
 
 The character of the approval granted 
 by this amendment made it impractica¬ 
 ble and unnecessary to consult formally 
 with representatives of the industry and 
 trade associations although in each in¬ 
 stance representatives of the publishers 
 of the manuals were consulted and con¬ 
 sideration was given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. In the judgment of the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization the provi¬ 
 sions of this amendment are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 3 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is amended in the 
 following respects:

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Amendment 13 to 
 Supplementary Regulation 3 (16 F. R. 
 8828) to Ceiling Price Regulation 34, is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 3 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34, as amended, 
 provides for the approval of new editions 
 and supplements to flat rate manuals 
 and labor schedules used in the automo¬ 
 tive and farm implement repair service 
 field. These manuals and labor sched¬ 
 ules establish standard time allowances 
 for various operations or combinations 
 of operations involved in automobile and 
 farm implement mechanical repair serv¬ 
 ices based upon continuing time studies 
 conducted by the manufacturers or pub¬ 
 lishers of manuals. 
 
 Most automotive and farm implement 
 repair establishments use one or more 
 of these flat rate manuals or labor 
 schedules to determine the time allow¬ 
 ances for mechanical repair services 
 rendered. However, in some instances 
 dealers supplying automotive repair 
 services have, for a long period of time 
 used flat rate manuals or labor sched¬ 
 ules in which the time allowances have 
 been altered and which deviate in im¬ 
 portant respects from the standard flat 
 rate manuals published by the manu¬ 
 facturer of the equipment generally 
 serviced by such dealers. Under the 
 provisions of section 12 (g) of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34, dealers using such 
 altered manuals are required to con¬ 
 tinue to use the same manual that was 
 used during the base period, December 
 19, 1950 to January 25, 1951, inclusive, 
 or a subsequent edition of that manual 
 approved by the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization. Since no subsequent editions 
 of the altered manuals have been sub¬ 
 mitted to, or approved by, the Director, 
 such dealers are now unable to deter¬ 
 mine time allowances for new operations 
 or combinations of operations which 
 
 have been approved in new editions or 
 supplements to flat rate manuals cov¬ 
 ered by Supplementary Regulation 3 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as amend¬ 
 ed, particularly with respect to new 
 models manufactured since the base 
 period. 
 
 This amendment provides a method 
 whereby individual dealers who were 
 “frozen” with an altered manual under 
 the provisions of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 may apply to the OPS District 
 Office for permission to adopt the appro¬ 
 priate approved flat rate manuals or 
 labor schedules and/or supplements to 
 determine the time allowances for auto¬ 
 motive and farm implement repair serv¬ 
 ices. Since the users of such altered flat 
 rate manuals or labor schedules have 
 also charged customers’ hourly rate ad¬ 
 justed to such altered time allowances, 
 it is necessary to reestablish hourly rates 
 to conform to the standard time allow¬ 
 ances. 
 
 The modifications approved under this 
 amendment will in general result in sub¬ 
 stantially the same prices to customers 
 at attained under the previously estab¬ 
 lished time allowances and hourly rates. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director, the 
 provisions of this amendment are neces¬ 
 sary and proper to effectuate the pur¬ 
 poses of the Defense Production Act of 
 1950, as amended. The limited applica¬ 
 tion of this amendment made it imprac¬ 
 ticable to consult formally with repre¬ 
 sentatives of the industry including trade 
 association representatives; however, in¬ 
 formal consultation has been held with 
 representatives of the industry and con¬ 
 sideration has been given to their pro¬ 
 posals. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Suplementary Regulation 3, as 
 amended, to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 is further amended as follows: 
 
 1. Paragraphs <c) and (d) of section 
 3 are redesignated paragraphs (d) and 
 (e). 
 
 2. A new paragraph (c) is added to 
 section 3 to read as follows: 
 
 <c) Dealers who used an “altered” flat 
 rate manual or labor schedule during 
 the base period. (1) If you are a dealer 
 who used a flat rate manual or labor 
 schedule during the base period in which 
 the time allowances for mechanical re¬ 
 pair services have been altered and are 
 different from the time allowances con¬ 
 tained in the flat rate manual or labor 
 schedule issued by the manufacturer for 
 whom you are a dealer, or the time al¬ 
 lowances contained in a general flat rate 
 manual or labor schedules approved by 
 this supplementary regulation, you may 
 file with your District Office of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization in the District in 
 which your place of business is located 
 
 an application for permission to adopt 
 and use the current approved edition of 
 the flat rate manuals or labor schedules 
 issued by the manufacturer for whom 
 you are a dealer, and an approved gen¬ 
 eral manual or labor schedule for use 
 with respect to other makes of automo¬ 
 biles to determine time allowances for 
 automotive repair services, and a modi¬ 
 fication of your established customers’ 
 hourly rate if such modification will in 
 general result in substantially the same 
 prices to customers as were attained un¬ 
 der the previously allowed time allow¬ 
 ance and hourly rate. Your application 
 shall not include the charges for opera¬ 
 tions for which you have established a 
 flat price under CPR 34. Your applica¬ 
 tion shall contain the following infor¬ 
 mation: 
 
 (1) Your name and address. 
 
 (ii) Name and description of altered 
 manual and of the approved flat rate 
 manual to be used. 
 
 (iii) A complete list of all repair orders 
 or other records (excluding those for 
 jobs for which a flat price is charged) 
 for all mechanical labor performed dur¬ 
 ing the last previous month of Septem¬ 
 ber and the last previous month of May, 
 whether or not the job is specified in a 
 flat rate manual, showing: 
 
 (a) The job ticket or repair order 
 number. 
 
 (b) A description or identifying sym¬ 
 bol of the job as used in the altered 
 manual. 
 
 (c) The total hours specified for the 
 job in your altered flat rate manual. 
 
 (d) The total hours for the same job 
 in the approval flat rate manual. 
 
 For jobs for which actual times were 
 used to determine the price (this in¬ 
 cludes mechanical repair operations not 
 covered by the altered or approved man¬ 
 uals referred to above), the actual time 
 charged at your established customers’ 
 hourly rate. 
 
 (iv> Your customers’ hourly rate es¬ 
 tablished under CPR 34 and used in 
 connection with the altered manuals. 
 
 (2) Three or more dealers of the same 
 manufacturer using the same altered 
 manual and doing business within the 
 same geographical area may apply as a 
 group for permission to adopt the ap¬ 
 proved flat rate manual issued by that 
 manufacturer and a modification of their 
 customers’ hourly rate. If the geo¬ 
 graphical area extends into two or more 
 OPS Districts the application should be 
 filed with the OPS District Office in the 
 District in which the largest number of 
 applicants are located. 
 
 (i) Such group application shall con¬ 
 tain the following information: 
 
 (a) The name and address of each 
 applicant. 
 
85 Serv 32:534 
 
 <b) A statement from each applicant 
 that he desires a group modification 
 based upon data submitted by a rep¬ 
 resentative number of the group. 
 
 (c) Each applicant’s customers’ hour¬ 
 ly rate established under CPR 34 and 
 used in connection with the altered man¬ 
 uals. 
 
 (d) Each applicant’s repair service 
 sales volume during his last complete 
 annual accounting period. 
 
 (ii) Within ten days after the receipt 
 of the application, OPS will designate, 
 after discussion with representatives of 
 the group, which firms on the list shall 
 be acceptable as representative of the 
 group. 
 
 (iii) The firms to be the representa¬ 
 tive number of the group shall, as a 
 
 minimum, consist of two dealers and 
 shall represent an annual sales volume 
 for mechanical repair service of not less 
 than 25 percent of the total mechanical 
 repair service sales volume of the group. 
 
 (iv) The accepted firms shall then 
 submit the data required in subpara¬ 
 graph (1) (ii) and (iii). 
 
 (3) If, for any reason, such as fire, 
 remodeling operations, traffic diversion 
 etc., either the last previous month of 
 September or May is unrepresentative of 
 your repair service business, you may, 
 with the approval of the District Office 
 substitute the next nearest month which 
 will reflect the normal operation of your 
 repair business. You may not, until 
 your application is approved by OPS use 
 the manuals for which you have re¬ 
 
 quested permission to use, nor charge 
 more than your established customers’ 
 hourly rate for automotive repair 
 services.

 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Supplementary 
 Regulation 4 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 4 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 establishes 
 dollars and cents prices for wholesale dry 
 cleaning, finishing and dyeing services in 
 the following counties of the State of 
 New Jersey: Essex, Hudson, Passaic, 
 Bergen, Union and Morris. The services 
 Supplied by the wholesalers of dry clean¬ 
 ing, finishing and dyeing services in these 
 counties of New Jersey have been pro¬ 
 vided at substantially uniform prices for 
 many years antedating the issuance of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. A wage in¬ 
 crease in 1950 and 1951 and sharply in¬ 
 creased costs in the latter part of 1950 
 have brought the average earnings of the 
 industry in this area close to the break¬ 
 even point. On June 6, 1951 a wage in¬ 
 crease of ten percent was granted by the 
 industry. This increase was made retro¬ 
 active to April 15, 1951 and will probably 
 result in the reduction of the industry’s 
 average earnings to a loss position and 
 thus jeopardize the continued supply of 
 the service. 
 
 The existence of uniform prices, stand¬ 
 ardized service and similar earnings ex¬ 
 perience facilitate the establishment of 
 dollars and cents prices. In the judg¬ 
 ment of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion the prices established in this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation are at the minimum 
 levels which will permit the continued 
 supply of the service. The industry, in¬ 
 cluding representatives of trade associa¬ 
 tions, has been consulted in the prepara¬ 
 tion of this supplementary regulation, 
 and consideration has been given to its 
 recommendations. In the judgment of 
 the Director of Price Stabilization the 
 
 prices established by this supplementary 
 regulation are generally fair and equita¬ 
 ble and are necessary to effectuate the 
 purposes of Title IV of the Defense Pro¬ 
 duction Act of 1950, as amended.

 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 2 
 (16 F. R. 738), this Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 5 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 5 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 establishes 
 the maximum rates of warehouses li¬ 
 censed under the United States Ware¬ 
 house Act, as amended, which act is 
 under the exclusive administration of 
 the Secretary of Agriculture. 
 
 The United States Warehouse Act, 
 as amended, and the regulations issued 
 thereunder, require warehousemen seek¬ 
 ing or holding licenses under the Act to 
 file copies of tariffs or schedules of 
 charges for services covered by the Act, 
 and any changes in such tariffs or sched¬ 
 ules, with the United States Department 
 of Agriculture, and imposes upon that 
 Department the responsibility of deter¬ 
 mining that the charges for services 
 covered by that Act are not unreasonable 
 or exorbitant. Before any charge or 
 change therein may be established, it 
 must be held by the United States De¬ 
 partment of Agriculture to be not unrea¬ 
 sonable or exorbitant. Under these cir¬ 
 cumstances, it is the opinion of the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization that his re¬ 
 sponsibilities under the Defense Produc¬ 
 tion Act, as amended, may be appro¬ 
 priately carried out by permitting the 
 
 rates determined pursuant to the United 
 States Warehouse Act to be used as ceil¬ 
 ing rates, subject to the review and the 
 right of the Director to disapprove such 
 rates where he finds that they are not 
 consistent with the purposes of the De¬ 
 fense Production Act, as amended. 
 
 Accordingly, this Supplementary 
 Regulation 5 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 establishes, subject to Office of Price 
 Stabilization disapproval, as the ceiling 
 prices for the services of warehouses 
 which are performed pursuant to the 
 United States Warehouse Act, as amend¬ 
 ed, those rates and charges which the 
 United States Department of Agriculture 
 has determined or will in the future de¬ 
 termine to be not unreasonable or exor¬ 
 bitant. 
 
 Special circumstances have rendered 
 impracticable consultation with formal 
 industry advisory committees. However, 
 informal consultations were had with 
 representatives of cotton, grain and bean 
 warehouses, together with representa¬ 
 tives of the United States Department of 
 Agriculture, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10181 (15 F. R. 8105), and Economic Sta¬ 
 bilization Agency Oeneral Order No. 2 
 (16 F. R. 738), this Supplementary Reg¬ 
 ulation 6 to Celling Price Regulation 34 
 Is hereby Issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OP CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 6 to 
 Celling Price Regulation 34, as amended, 
 permits operators of frozen foods lockers 
 In the State of Colorado to Increase their 
 ceiling prices, for processing wild deer, 
 elk and antelope killed during the Colo¬ 
 rado 1951 hunting season, by seventy 
 cents per head over their present ceil¬ 
 ing prices per head for the same service. 
 This regulation Is made necessary in 
 part by the fact that the Colorado State 
 Department of Agriculture has Issued a 
 regulation, effective September 1, 1951, 
 which prohibits the use of ordinary 
 butcher paper and sulphite wrapping 
 paper which are relatively Inexpensive 
 and requires for use in their stead more 
 expensive materials, such as aluminum 
 foil or anchor-coated cellophane. This 
 substitution of material will result in an 
 increased eost of operation of approxi¬ 
 mately forty-five cents per head of proc¬ 
 essed wild game. Other rises In the 
 cost of labor and materials since the 
 1950 hunting season amount to an ad¬ 
 ditional Increase of about twenty-five 
 cents per head. Because of these in¬ 
 creased costs many frozen foods locker 
 operators now face the prospect of sus¬ 
 taining financial losses which will In¬ 
 crease with the number of animals proc¬ 
 essed. Furthermore, locker plant opera¬ 
 tors In the City and County of Denver, 
 
 Colorado, have entered Into a voluntary 
 agreement with the Denver Department 
 of Health under which Inspected and 
 uninspected meat cannot be placed in 
 the same coolers or processed at the 
 same time. This will prevent conven¬ 
 tional butcher shop facilities from proc¬ 
 essing wild game and will make it neces¬ 
 sary for the locker operators to process 
 the entire hunting season kill. This In¬ 
 crease In the volume of animals to be 
 processed along with the Increases In 
 costs has presented a situation in which 
 many locker operators are faced with a 
 choice of operating at a continued loss 
 or discontinuing this service entirely. 
 
 The Immediate need to provide for the 
 hardship In which operators of frozen 
 foods lockers In Colorado have found 
 themselves inhibited consultation for¬ 
 mally with Industry representatives. 
 However, various representatives from 
 the affected service field were informally 
 consulted and consideration was given to 
 their recommendations. In the Judg¬ 
 ment of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion the increase permitted by this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation is at the mini¬ 
 mum level which will permit the contin¬ 
 ued supply of service and the provisions 
 of this regulation are generally fair and 
 equitable and are necessary to effectu¬ 
 ate the purposes of Title IV of the De¬ 
 fense Production Act of 1950. as 
 amended.

 head. This permitted Increased price 
 covers the price of the services of proc¬ 
 essing such wild deer, elk and antelope 
 and the cost of all commodities fur¬ 
 nished with or incidental to the supply¬ 
 ing of those services. You may not, if 
 you Increase your price under this reg¬

 Pursuant to the Defense Production

 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 1 to Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 6 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment to Supplementary 
 Regulation 6 extends the period for 
 which operators of frozen food lockers in 
 the State of Colorado are permitted to 
 increase their ceiling prices originally 
 established by Ceiling Price Regulation 
 
 34, as amended, for processing wild 
 deer, elk and antelope to include the 
 processing of wild deer, elk and antelope 
 killed during the Colorado 1952 hunting 
 season. This amendment also clarifies 
 the word “charges’* as used in Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 6 to indicate that 
 the term refers to ceiling prices estab 
 lished under Ceiling Price Regula tion 34, 
 as amended. 
 
 The Statement of Consideration which 
 accompanied Supplementary Regulation 
 6 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 is equally 
 applicable to this amendment and is in¬ 
 corporated herein by this reference. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 special circumstances have, rendered 
 consultation with industry represent¬ 
 atives, including trade associated repre¬ 
 sentatives, impracticable. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization, this amendment is 
 generally fair and equitable and com¬ 
 plies with all applicable provisions of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 1. Section 1 of Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 6 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 is amended to read as follows: 
 
 Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of 
 this regulation is to permit operators of 
 frozen food lockers in the State of Colo¬ 
 rado to increase their ceiling prices for 
 processing wild deer, elk and antelope

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 P. R. 738), this Supplementary 
 Regulation 7 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 7 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 provides for 
 dollar and cents price ceilings for speci¬ 
 fied warranty services in the automo¬ 
 bile, truck, bus and tractor industry. 
 
 Manufacturers of automotive prod¬ 
 ucts contract with repair shops for the 
 correction of product defects at a rela¬ 
 tively low rate, amounting to approxi¬ 
 mately the cost of labor or about 50 per¬ 
 cent of the rate usually charged to retail 
 customers. This warranty service nor¬ 
 mally constitutes a small percentage 
 (not over 1 or 2 percent) of the repair 
 shops’ service volume. When, as a re¬ 
 sult of product design or the use of un¬ 
 suitable material or other causes, it be¬ 
 comes necessary to make a substitution 
 of parts in such a large number, of vehi¬ 
 cles that the volume of service substan¬ 
 tially affects repair shop facilities for 
 supplying service to wholesale and retail 
 customers, it has been the practice of 
 some automotive product manufacturers 
 to compensate repair shops at a higher 
 rate for warranty services. This is to 
 compensate the repair shop for forego¬ 
 ing its more lucrative retail business, and 
 thereby assures the continued supply of 
 the warranty service. In such cases, the 
 amount paid by the manufacturer for 
 warranty service has not uncommonly 
 approximated the prevailing rates for 
 
 supplying the same service to retail cus¬ 
 tomers. 
 
 As a result of an attempt to conserve 
 scarce materials in furtherance of the 
 defense effort, a product defect has oc¬ 
 curred which will require extensive re¬ 
 placement of upper steel tanks on auto¬ 
 motive radiator core assemblies with 
 brass tanks. This is a service for which 
 manufacturers normally have paid a very 
 low rate in proportion to the cost of 
 supplying the service. Because of the 
 large number of vehicles involved, the 
 principal manufacturer who will be pur¬ 
 chasing this warranty service has peti¬ 
 tioned the Office of Price Stabilization 
 for permission to pay approximately re¬ 
 tail prices for this service, rather than 
 the customary lower warranty service 
 charge. It has been asserted that under 
 present conditions, the manufacturers 
 involved will be unable to obtain this 
 service at their customary rate, particu¬ 
 larly because the costs of supplying this 
 specific service have increased very ma¬ 
 terially during the past year. For these 
 reasons, this regulation establishes dol¬ 
 lars and cents ceiling prices to automo¬ 
 tive manufacturers for radiator upper 
 steel tank replacement services which 
 are approximately the same as the 
 charges made by repair shops to indi¬ 
 vidual retail customers. 
 
 Industry representatives have been 
 consulted in the preparation of this reg¬ 
 ulation and their recommendations have 
 been fully considered. In the judgment 
 of the Director, the prices established by 
 this Supplementary Regulation 7 are 
 generally fair and equitable and are nec¬ 
 essary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 
 1950, as amended.

 ILLINOIS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive 
 Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Eco¬ 
 nomic Stabilization Agency General 
 Order No. 2 (16 F, R. 738) this Revision 
 1 to Supplementary Regulation 8 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATION^ 
 
 This revision of Supplement- ry Regu¬ 
 lation 8 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 permits power laundries in Cook County, 
 Illinois, to increase by ten percent the 
 ceiling prices of their power laundry 
 services. This revised supplementary 
 regulation does not permit the increase 
 to be applied to diaper supply, linen sup¬ 
 ply and dry cleaning services of such 
 laundries. 
 
 Because of a decrease in earnings due 
 to sharply increased costs resulting from 
 authorized wage increases. Supplemen¬ 
 tary Regulation 8 to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 34 which was issued November 
 21, 1951, authorized power laundries in 
 Cook County, Illinois, to increase their 
 ceiling prices by five percent. The ad¬ 
 justment was based on financial data for 
 fiscal periods beginning in 1949 and end¬ 
 ing June 1951. However, since the origi¬ 
 nal issuance of Supplementary Regula¬ 
 tion 8, despite some volume increases, 
 further increases in costs arising out of 
 additional wage increases are causing 
 the power laundries in Cook County, Illi¬ 
 nois, to show a loss for 1952 as against 
 a profit for 1949. 
 
 Under the provisions of this revision 
 the power laundries in Cook County, Illi¬ 
 nois, are permitted to increase the ceil¬ 
 ing prices which they established prior 
 to the five percent increase, or sections 
 20 (a), 20 <b) or 20 <c) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34, by 10 percent. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the price increases 
 permitted by this revised supplementary 
 regulation are the minimum needed to 
 permit the continued supply of this serv¬ 
 ice. 
 
 In the formulation of this revision, the 
 Director has consulted insofar as prac¬ 
 ticable with representative suppliers of 
 these services, including representatives 
 of trade associations, and consideration 
 has been given to their recommenda¬ 
 tions. In the judgment of the Director 
 of Price Stabilization the increases per¬ 
 mitted by this revision are generally fair 
 and equitable and are necessary to effec¬ 
 tuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 main in effect. 
 
 Sec. 3. Adjustment of ceiling prices. 
 You may, to the extent you supply power 
 laundry services in Cook County, Illinois, 
 increase your ceiling prices by ten per¬ 
 cent for power laundry services, except 
 diaper supply, linen supply and dry 
 cleaning services thus supplied, by either 
 of the following methods: 
 
 (a) You may apply such an adjust¬ 
 ment to the total amount of each invoice 
 rendered to the customer, provided you 
 shall clearly write or stamp beside the 
 adjustment on each such invoice the 
 words "OPS permitted price increase.” 
 If you use this method of applying your 
 price increase you need not make the 
 supplementary filing required by section 
 18 <c) of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 (b) You may, in lieu of the method 
 provided in paragraph (a) of this sec¬ 
 tion, increase by ten percent the flat 
 prices of each power laundry services 
 article, except a diaper supply, linen 
 supply and dry cleaning service article. 
 Within ten days after your prices are 
 established under this paragraph, you 
 must prepare and file with your district 
 office of the Office of Price Stabilization 
 a supplemental statement as required 
 under section 18 of Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 34. You may not price under 
 paragraph (a) of this section once you 
 have elected to price under this para¬ 
 graph. 
 
 (c) If the increase computed in para¬ 
 graphs (a) or <b) of this section results 
 in a fraction of a cent, the ceiling price 
 must be decreased to the next lower 
 cent if the fractional cent is less than 
 one-half cent, or may be increased to 
 the next higher cent if the fraction is 
 one-half cent or more. 
 
 Sec. 4. Application of section 20 of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. No seller of 
 power laundry services subject to this 
 revised supplementary regulation may, 
 after the effective date of this regula¬ 
 tion, obtain an increase in his ceiling 
 prices for such power laundry services, 
 except diaper supply, linen supply and 
 dry cleaning services, under either sec¬ 
 tion 20 (a), <b) or (c) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. All orders establishing 
 ceiling prices for any power laundry sub¬ 
 ject to this revised supplementary regu¬ 
 lation issued under either section 20 (a), 
 (b) or (c> of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 are hereby revoked, upon the effective 
 date of this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 5. Definitions, (a) “Power laun¬ 
 dry” or "power laundries” as used in this 
 regulation are laundries which in the 
 laundry trade are customarily known 
 and designated as such, and do not in¬ 
 clude hand laundries, launderettes or 
 laundries using home-type laundry 
 equipment to supply laundry service. 
 
 Effective date. This revised supple¬ 
 mentary regulation shall become effec¬ 
 tive November 7, 1952. 
 
 Note: The reporting requirements of this 
 regulation have been approved by the Bu¬ 
 reau of the Budget in accordance with the 
 Federal Reports Act of 1942.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 (15 F R. 6105). and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order 
 No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Supplementary 
 Regulation 9 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 9 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as amended, 
 provides for necessary increases ranging 
 from 15«* to 25<* per hundredweight in 
 ceiling prices for the service of redrying 
 certain kinds of 1951 crop tobacco. 
 
 By statute, the Commodity Credit 
 Corporation under the Department of 
 Agriculture (CCC) is the government 
 agency responsible for making support 
 loans available to tobacco growers. In 
 1950, price support was made available 
 on the entire domestic and Puerto Rican 
 production of tobacco This was also 
 the case in 1951, with the exception of 
 U. S. Type 32, Maryland tobacco, and 
 U. S. Type 41, Pennsylvania Seedleaf 
 tobacco. In the usual administration 
 of the price support program, loans are 
 made to tobacco growers and services 
 are supplied (incident to receiving, re¬ 
 drying and storing loan tobacco > by co¬ 
 operative marketing associations. Loans 
 are generally made and services are per¬ 
 formed by warehouse, dealer and storage 
 organizations of various kinds through 
 contractual arrangements entered into 
 between the cooperative marketing as¬ 
 sociation and the CCC The organiza¬ 
 tions performing these services are nor¬ 
 mally paid by the cooperatives which, 
 in turn, are reimbursed by the CCC 
 Loans are usually made by CCC taking 
 into account the grade and type of to¬ 
 bacco and the grower’s compliance with 
 an approved production program. Such 
 loans require that the charges for re¬ 
 drying and other services shall not ex¬ 
 ceed certain limits approved by CCC. 
 The tobacco on which the loans are 
 made is the only collateral taken by the 
 CCC. 
 
 In an effort to establish a firm cost 
 basis for redrying flue-cured and Burley 
 tobacco, CCC representatives encouraged 
 the cooperatives handling flue-cured and 
 Burley tobacco, to make an extensive cost 
 study of redrying operations to ascer¬ 
 tain so far as practicable the increases 
 
 in the cost of redrying flue-cured to¬ 
 bacco for the 1951 crop. This study 
 showed the increase for 1951 was 21.4c 
 per hundredweight over the cost for the 
 1950 crop. The United States Depart¬ 
 ment of Agriculture reports that .the 
 cost increases affecting the 1951 flue- 
 cured operations apply substantially to 
 the same extent to Burley and certain 
 other types of tobacco similarly handled. 
 Generally, flue-cured and Burley redry¬ 
 ers will be able to absorb the increases 
 in cost above the 15c ceiling price in¬ 
 crease permitted by this supplementary 
 regulation. In the case of Virginia flre- 
 cured and Virginia sun-cured tobacco, 
 a •'greater increase in price is necessary 
 because of the more meticulous handling 
 required and because of the lower yield 
 of packed tobacco. These special fac¬ 
 tors necessitate more labor per unit of 
 tobacco. As a consequence, it is only 
 fair that redryers of these kinds of to¬ 
 bacco be permitted an increase which 
 recognizes their normally higher cost 
 factors (which has resulted in a trend 
 of diminished production volume each 
 year) and their apparent inability to 
 absorb part of the cost increase appli¬ 
 cable to their 1951 crop. Accordingly, 
 an increase of 25C per hundredweight 
 over the ceiling price for the 1950 crop 
 is granted in this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion in respect to the redrying of Vir¬ 
 ginia fire-cured and Virginia sun-cured 
 tobacco. 
 
 It is appropriate and consistent with 
 normal trade practices to apply these 
 redrying services ceiling price increases 
 equally to loan tobacco (under CCC pro¬ 
 grams) and other tobacco (commercial 
 tobacco). 
 
 Representatives of the CCC and others 
 in the Department of AgriculU' have 
 been consulted extensively in the prepa¬ 
 ration of this regulation and their rec¬ 
 ommendations have been fully consid¬ 
 ered. Due to the imminence of the to¬ 
 bacco redrying season formal consulta¬ 
 tion with industry representatives' has‘ 
 not been held. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the increases per¬ 
 mitted by this regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 <c) The ceiling prices for tl?e service 
 of redrying the 1951 crop tobacco of the 
 types enumerated and desciibed in this 
 supplementary regulation apply to the 
 service of redrying such tobacco, as de¬ 
 fined by section 4 (a) (1) of this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation, and the custom¬ 
 ary services incidental to such redrying 
 and the preparation of-such tobacco for 
 storage or market. 
 
 Sec. 4 Definitions, (a) As used In 
 this supplementary regulation to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34: 
 
 < 1) The term "redrying'’ means the 
 process by which tobacco is prepared for 
 storage through the application of arti¬ 
 ficial heat and steam in such manner as 
 to achieve the proper moisture content 
 for safekeeping in storage. The term 
 ‘ redrying” includes (i) the receiving of 
 the tobacco. <ii) picking, sorting or 
 blending the tobacco so as to achieve a 
 uniform pack, (iii) packing the tobacco 
 into hogsheads, (iv) providing hogs- 
 
85 Serv 32:1102 
 
 heads, (v) weighing and stenciling each 
 hogshead, <vi) delivery to local storage 
 or loading out for shipment to storage, 
 and (vii) the maintenance of appropri¬ 
 ate records and making of reports. As 
 used herein, “the receiving of tobacco” 
 means accepting delivery of tobacco by 
 the company for the purpose of handling 
 and packing. In the case of tobacco re¬ 
 ceived from auction warehouses located 
 in the town or market center where the 
 packing plant is located, “receiving” in¬ 
 cludes picking up the tobacco at the auc¬ 
 tion warehouses and drayage to the 
 plant. In the case of tobacco received 
 from auction warehouses located in 
 towns or market centers other than the 
 town or market center where the pack¬ 
 ing plant is located, “receiving” does not 
 include the cost of transportation of the 
 tobacco to the plant. In the case of 
 flue-cured and Type 21 fire-cured to¬ 
 bacco, “receiving” does not include 
 “sheeting and shipping” tobacco from 
 towns or market centers other than the

 Is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 10 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 establishes 
 dollars and cents prices per pound for 
 wholesale laundering services to hotels 
 for hotel house items in Dade County, 
 Florida. 
 
 For the past two years the earnings 
 of Dade County suppliers of these serv¬ 
 ices have been decreasing, despite stable 
 volume of sales. Sharply increased costs 
 of materials and labor have brought the 
 average earnings in this area down sub¬ 
 stantially so that for 1951, earnings 
 appear to be a small fraction of what 
 they were in 1949 or 1950. 
 
 The increased ceiling prices estab¬ 
 lished by this supplementary regulation 
 are applicable only to certain wholesale 
 laundry services supplied to hotels. 
 This ceiling price increase represents an 
 average 20 percent increase over pre¬ 
 
 vious ceiling prices on flat work supplied 
 to hotels. However, based on the 1951 
 volume of business, the ceiling price in¬ 
 crease will permit the laundry industry 
 in this area to increase its earnings by 
 1.4 percent in order to offset the sub¬ 
 stantial decrease which has occurred 
 since 1949. The increased revenue which 
 may result to the laundry industry in 
 this area from the increased ceiling 
 prices established by this supplementary 
 regulation should remove the necessity 
 for increasing retail ceiling prices to con¬ 
 sumers at the present time. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, the Director has con¬ 
 sulted insofar as practicable with 
 representative suppliers of these serv¬ 
 ices, including representatives of trade 
 associations, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization the increases permitted by this 
 supplementary regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive 
 Order 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment to Supplementary Regulation 10 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 statement of considerations 
 
 This Amendment 1 to Supplementary 
 Regulation 10 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 clarifies and adds to the list of 
 definitions contained in section 4 of this 
 supplementary regulation. In addition, 
 it clearly sets forth the applicability of 
 the supplementary regulation to the 
 services performed by independent 
 routemen and stores who are known in 
 the laundry and dry cleaning industry 
 as “bobtailers.” These bobtailers deal 
 directly with hotels in picking up hotel 
 flat work items which are then processed 
 by sellers of wholesale laundering serv¬ 
 ices. The processed flat work is paid for 
 by the bobtailer at a discount from the 
 laundry's normal wholesale price. This 
 customary discount is the differential 
 established under section 16 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 as amended. The 
 bobtailer's selling price to the hotels is 
 traditionally the same as the laundry’s 
 
 normal wholesale selling price for simi¬ 
 lar service to hotels. Some question has 
 arisen as to whether sales to the hotels 
 by these so-called bobtailers is within 
 the coverage of Supplementary Regula¬ 
 tion 10. To clarify this point a new sen¬ 
 tence is added to section 1 specifically 
 designating bobtailers as sellers of 
 wholesale laundry service to hotels. 
 This amendment will maintain tradi¬ 
 tional laundry and dry cleaning industry 
 price relationships and is consistent with 
 industry practice. 
 
 In addit’on, doubt has been expressed 
 as to the meaning of the term “each 
 pickup” contained in paragraph (a) of 
 section 3 and subparagraph (a) (2) of 
 section 4, some sellers contending that 
 there was no limit placed on the number 
 of pickups which could be made daily. 
 In order to indicate that the additional 
 charge for the first 50 pounds of each 
 pickup of hotel fiat work permitted by 
 section 3 should be made on the basis 
 of one pickup per day, an express limita¬ 
 tion to that effect is included in that 
 section. Corresponding changes have 
 been made in the list of definitions con¬ 
 tained in section 4. 
 
 Wholesale laundry service sellers re¬ 
 main subject to the provisions of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34. including sec¬ 
 tion 16 thereof, and their increased 
 ceiling prices under this supplementary 
 regulation must reflect their customary 
 price differentials, including discounts 
 to bobtail sellers. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 10 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 is amended in 
 the following respects: 
 
 1. Section 1 is amended by adding at 
 the end thereof a new sentence to read 
 as follows: “For the purpose of this regu¬ 
 lation bobtail sellers are considered to be 
 sellers of wholesale laundering service.” 
 
 2. Paragraph <a> of section 3 is 
 amended by adding at the end thereof 
 a new sentence to read as follows: “How¬ 
 ever. the 8c per initial 50 pounds charge 
 is limited to the first 50 pounds of flat 
 work picked up on any one day.” 
 
 3. A new subparagraph (3) is added 
 to paragraph (a) of section 4 to read as 
 follows: 
 
 (3) “Bobtail sellers” means a separate 
 class of purchaser and reseller of whole¬ 
 sale laundering services, consisting of 
 independent routemen and stores, not 
 employed or owned by a laundry furnish¬ 
 ing wholesale services to hotels, which 
 purchases such wholesale laundering 
 services from a wholesale laundry service 
 seller at a discount and resells these 
 services to its own customers at the same 
 prices that the wholesale laundry itself 
 w'ould have charged the same class of 
 purchaser for the same services. Bob- 
 tail sellers do not ordinarily engage in 
 processing operations.

 PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 P. R. 738), this Supplementary 
 Regulation 11 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 11 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as amended, 
 establishes the dollars and cents ceiling 
 prices which may be charged for admis¬ 
 sion to the baseball parks in which the 
 major league baseball club teams play 
 their home games. It also establishes 
 a method, within the framework of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34, whereby other 
 professional baseball clubs may compute 
 ceiling prices for admission. 
 
 Admission charges for baseball games 
 ordinarily are established at the end of 
 one season for the next following season 
 and tickets are printed accordingly. 
 Admission charges for major league 
 baseball games generally have not been 
 increased since 1948. Increased costs, 
 including player salary increases ap¬ 
 proved by the Salary Stabilization Board, 
 traveling expenses while on the road, and 
 maintenance expense for baseball parks 
 have all contributed to the necessity of 
 permitting certain increased admission 
 prices for baseball games. 
 
 Under Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 charges for certain seasonal services may 
 be increased for the 1951 season by a 
 percentage over the charges made during 
 the same season in which the service was 
 delivered in 1950. The policy underlying: 
 ceiling prices established by this regula¬ 
 tion for seasonal services would normally 
 permit professional baseball clubs to in¬ 
 crease the ceiling price on admission 
 charges by 8 percent over 1950 admission 
 charges which is the maximum permitted 
 under Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 In the case of the major league base¬ 
 ball clubs the dollars and cents ceiling 
 prices established in this supplementary 
 regulation represent an over-all average 
 increase well within the permissible 8 
 percent increase over the 1950 admission 
 charges. However, the greater part of 
 such Increase will benefit those major 
 league baseball clubs which have not in¬ 
 creased their admission charges for 
 many years and have prices below the 
 levels heretofore charged by other clubs. 
 
 In keeping with traditional industry 
 practice this regulation also permits all 
 baseball clubs to charge their customary 
 price differentials for such special events 
 as an All-Star game, a post-season cham¬ 
 pionship series, and the like. 
 
 It has been impracticable to consult 
 formally with industry advisory com¬ 
 mittees. However, representatives of or¬ 
 ganized professional baseball clubs have 
 been consulted and consideration has 
 been given to their recommendations. 
 In the judgment of the Director of Price 
 Stabilization, the prices established by 
 this supplementary regulation are gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and are neces¬ 
 sary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended.

 Section 1. What this regulation does. 
 This regulation establishes the ceiling 
 prices which may be charged at the home 
 parks of professional baseball clubs as 
 set forth in section 3 and Appendix I of 
 this supplementary regulation. 
 
 Sec. 2. Applicability of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. All provisions of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34, as amended, except 
 as changed by the pricing provisions of 
 this supplementary regulation shall re¬ 
 main in effect. However, the filing re¬ 
 quirements of section 18 (c) of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 do not apply to 
 major league baseball clubs. 
 
 Sec. 3. Ceiling prices in general —(a) 
 Major leagues. (1) The ceiling prices 
 for admission to baseball games played 
 on the home fields of major league base¬ 
 ball clubs are set forth in Appendix I of 
 this supplementary regulation. Admis¬ 
 sion prices for all classes of seats or 
 accommodations not specifically listed 
 in Appendix I shall remain the same 
 as prices charged for those classes of 
 seats or accommodations during the 1951 
 season. 
 
 (2) The ceiling prices for admission to 
 pre-season or other exhibition games not 
 at a major league club’s home baseball 
 park shall be the admission price charged 
 in 1950 for similar games, exclusive of 
 Federal, State and local taxes on admis¬ 
 sions, increased by eight (8%) percent 
 and adjusted to the nearest nickel. 
 
 (b) Other professional baseball clubs. 
 (1) The ceiling prices for admission to 
 baseball games played by all other pro¬ 
 
 fessional baseball clubs shall be the ad¬ 
 mission charge made during the 1950 
 baseball season, exclusive of Federal, 
 State and local taxes on admissions, in¬ 
 creased by eight (8%) percent and ad¬ 
 justed to the nearest nickel. 
 
 (2) Instead of Increasing admission 
 charges for all types of seats by the per¬ 
 mitted 8 percent, a non-major league 
 baseball club may determine this increase 
 on the basis of a day’s total admission 
 revenues less admission taxes during the 
 1950 season computed for its capacity 
 attendance and then multiply by 8 per¬ 
 cent. It may then increase the dollars 
 and cents price for one or more class of 
 seats, as it sees fit, provided that the 
 total increase in admission revenues, less 
 admission taxes, based upon capacity at¬ 
 tendance remains within the permissible 
 8 percent authorized increase. 
 
 Sec. 4. Ceiling prices for special events. 
 Ceiling prices for admission to special 
 games (World Series, All-Star Games, 
 and the like) played by all professional 
 baseball clubs, not specifically covered by 
 this supplementary regulation, shall be 
 computed in accordance with ceiling 
 prices established by this supplementary 
 regulation on the basis of the customary 
 differential, if any, charged for these 
 special games in 1951. 
 
 Effective date. This Supplementary 
 Regulation 11 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 shall be effective on January 29, 1952.

 Supplementary Regulation 11 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Supplementary 
 Regulation 11 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34, as amended, permits the Cincin¬ 
 nati Baseball Club to charge $2.00 for 
 
 admission to all reserved seats for all 
 baseball games at which reserved seat 
 admission charges have been made cus¬ 
 tomarily. This slight modification of the 
 Cincinnati Baseball Club’s schedule of 
 admission charges is well within the eight 
 percent limitation set forth in section 8 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 and ap¬ 
 plied to professional baseball by Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 11 thereto. The 
 Statement of Considerations contained 
 in that supplementary regulation is 
 equally applicable to this regulatory ac¬ 
 tion and is incorporated by reference 
 herein. 
 
 In view of the special nature of this 
 amendment, circumstances have ren¬ 
 dered extensive consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade asso¬ 
 ciation representatives, impracticable. 
 In the judgment of the Director of Price 
 Stabilization, the ceiling price estab¬ 
 lished by this supplementary regulation 
 is generally fair and equitable and is 
 necessary to effectuate the purposes of 
 
 Title IV of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Appendix I of Supplementary Regula¬ 
 tion 11 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 as amended, is amended by deleting the 
 sum $1.75 from the schedule of reserved 
 seat admissions for the Cincinnati Base¬ 
 ball Club so that the ceiling price for 
 the reserved seat admissions shall be 
 $2.00 in all cases. The new schedule of 
 admissions shall read as follows: 
 
 Cincinnati:

 SUMMER CAMPS FOR CHILDREN 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 • Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Supplementary 
 Regulation 12 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 12 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as amended, 
 establishes ceiling prices for services 
 rendered in customary camping facili¬ 
 ties by summer camps solely conducted 
 for children except non-profit summer 
 camps whose charges do not exceed $30 
 per week. This latter group of summer 
 camps is being exempted from ceiling 
 price regulation concurrently with the 
 issuance of this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion. This regulation also establishes 
 ceiling prices for accommodations main¬ 
 tained by summer camps for the con¬ 
 venience of parents during the summer 
 camping season. 
 
 Amendment 1 to Supplementary Reg¬ 
 ulation 15 to the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation suspended the application of 
 ceiling price regulations' to summer 
 camps for a period of six months from 
 April 18, 1951. Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34, which is now applicable to summer 
 camps, permits sellers of seasonal serv¬ 
 ices not rendered in the base period of 
 December 19, 1950, to January 25, 1951, 
 to determine their ceiling prices by add¬ 
 ing an adjustment factor to their 1950 
 prices. This supplementary regulation 
 adds an additional method whereby 
 summer camps may determine their ceil¬ 
 ing prices. 
 
 Under this supplementary regulation, 
 the ceiling price for a summer camp 
 service is either (1) the price charged for 
 substantially the same service during the 
 
 1950 summer camp season plus eight 
 percent, or (2) the highest price charged 
 or announced for substantially the same 
 service during the 1951 summer camp 
 season. The eight percent increase over 
 1950 prices is consistent with the per¬ 
 centage increases permitted by section 
 8 (c) of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 for 
 seasonal services. 
 
 The ceiling prices established by this 
 regulation are generally fair and equi¬ 
 table. If any individual camp finds itself 
 in financial difficulty, it may file an ap¬ 
 plication for adjustment under section 20 
 (a) of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 Extensive consultation with members 
 of the affected service field was had dur¬ 
 ing the time that the suspension of sum¬ 
 mer camps from ceiling price regulation 
 for the 1951 season was considered. 
 Since that time further consultation has 
 been had with industry representatives 
 and their suggestions have been consid¬ 
 ered fully. In the judgment of the 
 Director of Price Stabilization the provi¬ 
 sions of this regulation are generally fair 
 and equitable and are necessary to ef¬ 
 fectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 other than non-profit summer camps 
 whose maximum weekly charges do not

 Sec. 3. Ceiling prices. (a) If you 
 operated a summer camp during the pe¬

 inclusive, your ceiling prices for your 
 camping services shall be either: 
 
 (1) The highest price which you 
 charged for substantially the same serv¬ 
 ice to any camper or visiting parent dur¬ 
 ing the 1951 summer camping season. If 
 you announced, in writing, prior to or 
 during the 1951 summer camping season, 
 an increase in price but did not put such 
 price increase into effect although you 
 were legally entitled to do so, you may 
 increase the highest price which you 
 charged for substantially the same serv¬ 
 ice to any camper or visiting parent dur¬ 
 ing the 1951 camping season by the 
 amount of such 1951 proposed increase; 
 or 
 
 (2) The highest price which you 
 charged for substantially the same serv¬ 
 ice to any camper or visiting parent dur¬ 
 ing the 1950 summer camp season in¬ 
 creased by eight percent. 
 
 (b) If you did not operate a summer 
 camp during the period April 18, 1951, 
 to October 17, 1951, inclusive, or if you 
 provide new camping services you deter¬ 
 mine your ceiling prices under either sec¬ 
 tion 6 or section 7 of Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 34, whichever section is applica¬ 
 ble. 
 
 Sec. 4. Filing. Within 30 days after 
 February 11, 1952, you must prepare and 
 file a statement with the District Office 
 of the Office of Price Stabilization, in ac¬ 
 cordance with section 18 (b) of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. In addition, you 
 must conform to the record-keeping re¬ 
 quirements of section 18 (a) of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. 
 
 Effective date. This Supplementary 
 Regulation 12 to Ceiling Price Regula¬

 JANITORIAL SERVICES IN THE NEW YORK 
 AREA 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 13 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 authorizes an 
 increase in ceiling prices for persons who 
 supply window washing and building 
 janitorial services in the City of New 
 York and in the Counties of Westchester, 
 Nassau and Suffolk, State of New York, 
 to reflect the amount of direct labor 
 wage increases occurring after January 
 25, 1951, if the Wage Stabilization Board 
 has approved, or hereafter approves in 
 respect to matters now pending before 
 that Board, such direct labor wage in¬ 
 creases plus 17 percent of such approved 
 wage increases representing increases in 
 fringe labor costs such as social security 
 and unemployment and health insur¬ 
 ance taxes, vacation and holiday pay,- 
 workmen’s compensation and public 
 liability insurance premiums. 
 
 These services are performed by ap¬ 
 proximately 250 establishments, the ma¬ 
 jority of which have annual gross 
 receipts of $30,000 or less. A group of 
 the suppliers of such services presented 
 data during the past few months in sup¬ 
 port of their requests for increases in 
 their ceiling prices to relieve them from 
 rising costs flowing from certain wage 
 increases, heretofore granted, and other 
 wage increases now pending. Their ex¬ 
 perience indicates that their direct labor 
 costs for the rendering of these services 
 range from 60 percent to 80 percent of 
 sales price. It appears that these sup¬ 
 pliers normally operate on a very small 
 earnings margin and data so far avail¬ 
 able indicates that in general they do not 
 have the financial capacity to absorb 
 wage increases and continue the effective 
 operation of their businesses. As a con¬ 
 sequence, the increases in labor costs 
 necessitate ceiling price increases if 
 these suppliers are to be relieved from 
 undue interference with continued oper¬ 
 ation. Since this wage increase situation 
 affects similarly many suppliers of the 
 services, an area-wide adjustment is au¬ 
 thorized rather than the issuance of 
 
 numerous individual orders of adjust¬ 
 ment under section 20 (a) of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. The standards em¬ 
 bodied in section 20 (a) have been taken 
 into account and reasonably adapted to 
 this area-wide group situation. 
 
 This supplementary regulation covers 
 only wage increases already approved by 
 or now pending before the Wage Sta¬ 
 bilization Board. 
 
 This supplementary regulation per¬ 
 mits a seller to adjust his ceiling prices 
 as of December 1, 1951, or the effective 
 date of Wage Stabilization Board ap¬ 
 proval, whichever is later. Discussions 
 with respect to the need for an adjust¬ 
 ment were begun by industry represent¬ 
 atives long before December 1, 1951. 
 Adjustable pricing pending final action 
 was not authorized under section 21 of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 because it 
 was contemplated that final action 
 would be taken by December 1951. Due 
 to circumstances not then foreseen, this 
 was not possible. In this special situa¬ 
 tion, it is considered appropriate to allow 
 adjustments as of December 1, 1951 
 where wage increases announced by the 
 Wage Stabilization Board are effective 
 as of that time. 
 
 The data on the basis of which this 
 action is being taken are not sufficiently 
 up-to-date or complete to be conclusive. 
 Accordingly, a further study will be 
 made by the Office of Price Stabilization 
 on the basis of more recent data, and the 
 adjustment authorized by this action will 
 be modified if necessary as the result of 
 such a study. 
 
 In the formulation of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation there was consulta¬ 
 tion with industry representatives, 
 including trade association representa¬ 
 tives, to the extent practicable, and con¬ 
 sideration was given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. In the judgment of the 
 Director of Price Stabilization the pro¬ 
 visions of this supplementary regulation 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 are gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and are neces¬ 
 sary to effectuate the purposes of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 formed each month on and after Decem¬ 
 ber 1, 1951 or the effective date of Wage 
 Stabilization Board approval, whichever 
 is later, the average dollar and cent 
 amount for such direct labor wage in¬ 
 crease, reasonably allocated to the par¬ 
 ticular service contract, plus an amount 
 equal to 17 percent thereof; and for your 
 direct labor employees who have received 
 such direct labor wage increases, and 
 who are paid on an hourly basis, for 
 work performed on and after December 
 1, 1951 or the effective date of Wage

 Stabilization Board approval, whichever 
 is later, the hourly wage dollar and cent 
 increase plus an amount equal to 17 
 percent thereof multiplied by the num¬ 
 ber of hours worked by those direct labor 
 employees each month and reasonably 
 allocated to the particular services con¬ 
 tract. Computations of averages and 
 allocation of cost increases to particular 
 services contracts shall conform to OPS 
 Public Form No. 131. 
 
 (ii) You must file with the New York 
 OPS District Office under this paragraph

 You may increase the ceiling prices un¬ 
 der your contracts as permitted under 
 section 3 (a) (1) (i) as soon as you file

 with this paragraph. You may supple¬ 
 ment your filing from time to time with¬ 
 in the 180 day period. 
 
 (b) You may charge and your cus¬ 
 tomers may pay less than the ceiling 
 prices permitted under this regulation.

 tion 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OP CONSIDERATION 
 
 Except for certain stevedoring and 
 carloading services which have been 
 specifically exempted from price control, 
 all marine terminal services are subject 
 to price control by the Office of Price 
 Stabilization under the provisions of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, effective 
 May 16, 1951. Marine terminal com¬ 
 panies handle all types and classes of 
 commodities in providing their terminal 
 services and publish tariffs which specify 
 the rates and charges currently assessed 
 for each type of commodity handled or 
 service afforded. Changing conditions 
 in the industry require either a reduc¬ 
 tion or an increase in the rates and 
 charges assessed for the various services 
 provided and usually there are a number 
 of tariff changes made each year. Un¬ 
 der the present provisions of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34, a marine terminal 
 company desiring an Increase in any of 
 its ceiling rates or charges is required 
 to apply to the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion for adjustment thereof and obtain 
 approval therefor before charging the 
 increased rate or charge. Inasmuch as 
 the very nature of the business requires 
 rates and charges to be adjusted as con¬ 
 ditions change, each individual marine 
 terminal company is now required to file 
 a large number of individual applica¬ 
 tions seeking approval of the various ad- 
 justments it desires to make. This re¬ 
 sults in a substantial burden being 
 placed upon the respective marine ter¬ 
 minal companies as well as upon the 
 staff of the Office of Price Stabilization 
 which is required to process each appli¬ 
 cation for adjustment. Unless Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is modified or sup¬ 
 plemented so as to provide for the fixing 
 or adjusting of uniform ceiling rates on 
 
 a group basis, marine terminal com¬ 
 panies operating in the manner dis¬ 
 cussed below which desire to establish 
 ceiling rates covering new services or to 
 increase any one of the many rates and 
 charges assessed by them on a uniform 
 basis would be required to apply indi¬ 
 vidually for the relief they seek. Fur¬ 
 thermore, the uniform rate structure 
 presently maintained by marine ter¬ 
 minal companies in various areas, with 
 the approval of the Federal Maritime 
 Board, will be disrupted. 
 
 The wharfage, dock and other terminal 
 services afforded by marine terminal 
 companies in connection with common 
 carriers by water are subject to certain 
 controls by the Federal Maritime Board. 
 Under the provisions of section 15 of the 
 Shipping Act of 1916, as amended, 
 marine terminal companies may enter 
 into agreements with one another pro¬ 
 viding for the fixing of rates and for ex¬ 
 clusive, preferential or cooperative work¬ 
 ing arrangements, provided such agree¬ 
 ments are filed with and approved by the 
 Federal Maritime Board. Signatories to 
 such agreements are prohibited from 
 participating In any discriminatory prac¬ 
 tices and are required to establish and 
 enforce just and reasonable regulations 
 and practices related to or connected 
 with the receiving, handling, storing, or 
 delivery of property. Under section 15 
 of the Shipping Act, the Federal Mari¬ 
 time Board has the power to disapprove, 
 cancel, or modify any joint agreement 
 entered into by marine terminal com¬ 
 panies which it finds to be unjustly 
 discriminatory or unfair among signa¬ 
 tories thereto or to operate to the detri¬ 
 ment of the commerce of the United 
 States. It also has the power to prevent 
 discrimination between shippers in any 
 respect, including rate discrimination. 
 
 Marine terminal companies in various 
 areas have entered into agreements of 
 the type specified above and have ob¬ 
 tained from the Federal Maritime Board 
 the necessary approval thereof. Under 
 each of these agreements the participat¬ 
 ing marine terminal companies have 
 formed associations which act on behalf 
 of the participating members of such as¬ 
 sociations. These associations, as a mat¬ 
 ter of practice, have either authorized an 
 agent to publish tariffs on behalf of all 
 their respective members, or the various 
 members of the respective associations 
 have concurred in the rates and charges 
 published by one of the terminal com¬ 
 panies which is a member of the partic¬ 
 ular association. Under either of such 
 practices, the necessity for each member 
 of an association to make a separate fil¬ 
 ing with the Federal Maritime Board of 
 its rates and charges is eliminated, the 
 
 filing for all members being accom¬ 
 plished by the publishing agent being 
 authorized to act for all. As a conse¬ 
 quence, uniform rates and charges 
 are collected by all members of the 
 association. 
 
 The authority of the Federal Maritime 
 Board with respect to terminal services 
 is to prevent unreasonable and discrim¬ 
 inatory practices. Thus with respect to 
 marine terminal facilities the Federal 
 Maritime Board does not regulate the 
 rates themselves except Insofar as they 
 may involve unreasonable or discrim¬ 
 inatory practices. 
 
 In view of the Impracticability of es¬ 
 tablishing or adjusting ceiling rates for 
 the signatories to section 15 agreements 
 on an individual basis, it is deemed to be 
 in the best interest of the stabilization 
 program to provide for the establishing 
 or adjusting of uniform celling rates on 
 a group basis, provided the proper safe¬ 
 guards are maintained to insure that the 
 general purposes of the Defense Produc¬ 
 tion Act of 1950, as amended, are prop¬ 
 erly carried out. Accordingly, this 
 supplementary regulation provides that 
 signatories to joint agreements filed with 
 the Federal Maritime Board under the 
 provisions of section 15 of the Shipping 
 Act of 1916, as amended, may file as a 
 group with the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, simultaneously with the filing re¬ 
 quired by the Federal Maritime Board, 
 each proposal involving the establish¬ 
 ment of a ceiling rate for new services 
 or the adjustment of existing ceiling 
 rates. In connection with such filings, 
 this regulation provides that the Direc¬ 
 tor of Price Stabilization shall, within 20 
 days from the date of filing, either ap¬ 
 prove or disapprove the rates proposed. 
 If he falls to act within the 20-day pe¬ 
 riod, the rates proposed shall become the 
 new ceiling rates for the signatories to 
 the joint agreements filed under the pro¬ 
 visions of section 15 of the Shipping Act 
 of 1910, as amended. This supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation further provides that, if 
 the Director of Price Stabilization noti¬ 
 fies the Federal Maritime Board, and 
 the applicants, within the 20-day period 
 specified above, that additional time for 
 the disposition of the applications is re¬ 
 quired, the proposed celling rates may 
 become effective only to the extent that 
 they are finally approved by the Office of 
 Price Stabilisation. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, there has been consulta¬ 
 tion with the Federal Maritime Board 
 and with industry representatives, in¬ 
 cluding trade association representa¬ 
 tives, to the extent practicable, and con¬ 
 sideration has been given to their 
 recommendations. In the judgment of 
 
85 Serv 32:1602 
 
 the Director of Price Stabilization, the 
 provisions of this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion are generally fair and equitable and 
 will effectuate the purposes of the De¬ 
 fense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Section 1. What this regulation does. 
 This regulation provides a means for 
 establishing or adjusting on a group 
 basis, uniform ceiling rates and charges 
 for marine terminal companies operat¬ 
 ing under joint written agreements filed 
 with the Federal Maritime Board pur¬ 
 suant to the provisions of section 15 of 
 the Shipping Act of 1916, as amended. 
 
 Sec. 2. Relationship to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. All provisions of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 applicable to ma¬ 
 rine terminal companies, except as 
 changed by the provisions of this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation, shall remain in

 Sec. 3, Establishment of ceiling rates 
 and charges. Whenever marine termi¬ 
 nal companies subject to this regulation 
 desire to establish uniform celling rates 
 or charges for services for which no cell¬ 
 ing rates have been established, an ap¬ 
 plication setting forth the proposed 
 rates and charges must be filed with the 
 Transportation, Public Utilities and 
 Fuels Division, Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion. Washington 25, D.' C., simulta¬ 
 neously with the filing of such rates and 
 charges required by the Federal Mari¬ 
 time Board pursuant to the provisions of 
 section 15 of the Shipping Act of 1916, as 
 amended. A joint application may be 
 filed by the marine terminal companies, 
 either directly or through an authorized 
 agent Each filing shall be accompanied 
 
 by a description of the service most com¬ 
 parable to the one for which a rate is re¬ 
 quested, the ceiling rates for the most 
 comparable service, the reasbns for se¬ 
 lection of such service, an explanation of 
 the differences, if any, between the rates 
 for the most comparable service and the 
 proposed ceiling rates. Each such filing 
 shall be sent by registered mail, return 
 receipt requested. The date on the re¬ 
 turn receipt will, indicate the effective 
 date of filing. 
 
 Sec. 4. Adjustment of ceiling rates and , 
 charges. Marine terminal companies 
 subject to this regulation may seek uni¬ 
 form adjustments in their rates appear¬ 
 ing in tariffs on file with the Federal 
 Maritime Board by filing the proposed 
 adjusted rates and charges with the

 Act of 1916, as amended. 
 
 (a) General rate increases. If an ad¬ 
 justment in the general level of ceiling 
 rates is sought, the criteria for adjust¬ 
 ment contained in section 20 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 shall govern the dis¬ 
 position of the application. Each appli¬ 
 cant company must file, by registered 
 mail, in duplicate, OPS Public Form Pub. 
 43, Revised, with the Transportation, 
 Public Utilities and Fuels Division, 
 Office of Price Stabilization, Washing¬ 
 ton 25, D. C., and identify the group 
 with which it is associated in an agree¬ 
 ment pursuant to section 15 of the Ship¬ 
 ping Act of 1916, as amended.

 an adjustment in specific rates and 
 charges is sought, a statement specifying 
 the ceiling rates proposed to be changed, 
 the proposed ceiling rates and the justi¬ 
 fication for the proposed change in rates 
 must be filed with the Transportation, 
 Public Utilities and Fuels Division, Office 
 of Price Stabilization, Washington 25, 
 D. C. Insofar as possible, the justifica¬ 
 tion should Indicate the volume of busi¬ 
 ness represented by the service for which 
 the rate adjustment is requested, its 
 relationship to the business as a whole, 
 any peculiarities of the service which 
 
 necessitate an adjustment and any 
 changes in costs associated with the 
 particular service. 
 
 An application under this section may 
 be filed by a marine terminal company 
 on behalf of all signatories to a section 
 15 agreement or by an agent authorized 
 to act for all such signatories. An appli¬ 
 cation for a general rate increase under 
 paragraph (a) shall include a statement 
 that each signatory company has filed 
 OPS Public Form Pub. 43, Revised, in 
 duplicate with the Office of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation, Washington 25, D. C. 
 
 Each application shall be sent by reg¬ 
 istered mail, return receipt requested. 
 The date on the return receipt will indi¬ 
 cate the effective date of filing. Addi¬ 
 tional information may be required by 
 OPS, and such additional information 
 likewise must be sent by registered mail, 
 return receipt requested.

 this Amendment 1 to Supplementary 
 Regulation 14 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 14 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 provides a means 
 for establishing or adjusting on a group 
 basis the rates and charges of marine 
 terminals operating under agreements 
 approved by the Federal Maritime Board 
 under section 15 of the Shipping Act of 
 1916, if such agreements require all of 
 the signatories thereto to maintain uni¬ 
 form rates and charges. 
 
 Since the issuance of SR 14 the rates 
 of publicly owned marine terminals, 
 some of which are parties to such agree¬ 
 ments, have been exempt from price con¬ 
 trol by Amendment 9 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14. In addition, it has 
 come to the attention of the Director 
 that some privately owned terminals 
 which are parties to such agreements are 
 appropriately to be classified as public 
 utilities exempt from price control under 
 section 402 (e) (v) of the Defense Pro¬ 
 duction Act. 
 
 In at least one instance publicly owned 
 terminals, privately owned terminals 
 exempt from price control as public 
 utilities, and privately owned terminals 
 
 covered by SR 14 are all parties to a 
 single agreement approved by the Mari¬ 
 time Board which requires the mainte¬ 
 nance of uniform rates. Such circum¬ 
 stances were not contemplated when OPS 
 issued SR 14, which,is designed to per¬ 
 mit, within the standards of CPR 34, the 
 maintenance of uniformity in rates by 
 parties to such agreements. SR 14 pro¬ 
 vides for a filing for adjustment on be¬ 
 half of all of the signatories to a section 
 15 agreement, not for a filing by only 
 some of them. 
 
 The rates of marine terminals which 
 are public utilities and the rates of pub¬ 
 licly owned marine terminals have been 
 exempt from price control by the Con¬ 
 gress and by OPS because they have been 
 deemed not to be a source of serious in¬ 
 flationary dangers. Since all of the par¬ 
 ties to a section 15 agreement requiring 
 uniform rates compete in the same gen¬ 
 eral area under substantially the same 
 conditions and the agreement itself must 
 be given legal sanction by the Maritime 
 Board, it is the view of the Director that, 
 consistently with the maintenance of 
 effective price control, the ceiling rates 
 of terminals controlled by OPS can be 
 permitted to be adjusted to conform 
 to the rates established by the publicly 
 owned and privately owned but publicly 
 regulated terminals where agreements 
 such as that described above so require. 
 This amendment permits terminals sub¬ 
 ject to CPR 34 and SR 14 to adjust their 
 rates accordingly. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been extensive consultation 
 with industry representatives, including 
 representatives of terminal associations, 
 and consideration has been given to 
 their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 14, is amended in 
 the following respect: Section 4 is 
 amended by adding at the end thereof 
 the following: 
 
 (c) In-line adjustments. (1) If any 
 marine terminal companies subject to 
 
 this regulation have entered into an 
 agreement with publicly owned marine 
 terminals, as defined in paragraph 89 of 
 section 3 (a) of General Overriding Reg¬ 
 ulation 14, or with marine terminals 
 classified as public utilities under sec¬ 
 tion 402 (e) (v) of the Defehse Produc¬ 
 tion Act, as amended, which agreement 
 requires all of the signatories thereto to 
 maintain uniform rates and charges and 
 has been approved by the Federal Mari¬ 
 time Board under section 15 of the Ship¬ 
 ping Act of 1916, as amended, adjust¬ 
 ments may be made in their ceiling rates 
 and charges to conform to their obliga¬ 
 tions under that agreement. 
 
 (2) Adjustments under this para¬ 
 graph may be had by filing with the 
 Transportation, Public Utilities and 
 Fuels Division, OPS, Washington 25, 
 D. C., a statement specifying the termi¬ 
 nal companies whose rates and charges 
 are proposed to be adjusted, the rates 
 and charges to be adjusted, the adjust¬ 
 ments to be made, and that such adjust¬ 
 ments are necessary to conform to an 
 agreement approved by the Maritime 
 Board requiring the maintenance of uni¬ 
 form rates and charges, accompanied by 
 or referring to the applicable agreement. 
 The adjusted rates and charges shall be¬ 
 come lawful ceiling rates and charges 
 upon the receipt by OPS of such filing 
 and shall continue to be such unless 
 modified by an order of OPS. Filings 
 may be made by one of the marine ter¬ 
 minal companies seeking an adjustment 
 under this paragraph on behalf of all 
 the marine terminal companies seeking 
 such adjustments or by any agent au¬ 
 thorized to act for all such marine ter¬ 
 minal companies.

 Regulation 161

 SR 15—POWER LAUNDRIES IN MILWAUKEE 
 COUNTY, WISCONSIN 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stablization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Supplementary 
 Regulation 15 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OP CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 15 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits a 
 uniform increase in ceiling prices of 
 certain services supplied by power laun¬ 
 dries in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. 
 This supplementary regulation does not 
 permit the increase to be applied to the 
 diaper supply, linen supply and dry 
 cleaning services of such laundries. 
 
 There are 22 power laundries provid¬ 
 ing laundry services in Milwaukee 
 County, Wisconsin. It is estimated that 
 in 1951 total revenue received by these 
 power laundries from sales of their serv¬ 
 ices amounted to 6 V 2 million dollars. A 
 study of the operating costs and profit 
 margins of a representative number of 
 these power laundries, accounting for 
 85 percent of total sales in this area, re¬ 
 veals that they are suffering an impair¬ 
 ment of their pre-Korean earnings as a 
 result of greatly increased labor and ma¬ 
 terial costs, which have been incurred. 
 In addition, a general wage increase re¬ 
 cently granted employees of these power 
 laundries has imposed further financial 
 hardship. Failure to make an adjust¬ 
 ment in the ceiling prices of these firms 
 would impair their continued operation 
 and would threaten an interruption in 
 the supply of these essential services. 
 The amount granted herein has been 
 deemed the minimum necessary to re¬ 
 store these laundries to a financial posi¬ 
 tion which would assure the continued 
 supply of these essential services, in ac¬ 
 cordance with the standards for individ¬ 
 ual adjustments under section 20 (a) of 
 CPR 34. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, ceiling prices of 
 such power laundries may be increased 
 by not more than 5 percent, such ad¬ 
 justment to be applied to the total 
 amount of each invoice rendered to the 
 customer and identified as the “OPS per¬ 
 mitted price increase”, or. at the option 
 
 of the individual laundry, the ceiling flat 
 price for each article may be increased 
 by not more than 5 percent. If such in¬ 
 crease results in a ceiling price ending in 
 a fraction of a cent, the ceiling price 
 must be decreased to the next lower cent 
 if the fractional cent is one-half (ViO 
 cent or less, or may be increased to the 
 next higher cent if the fraction is greater 
 than one-half (Vz^) cent. Adjusted flat 
 ceiling prices must within ten days after 
 their determination be filed with the ap¬ 
 propriate Office of Price Stabilization dis¬ 
 trict office. 
 
 In the future, power laundries subject 
 to this supplementary regulation may 
 not obtain an adjustment of their ceiling 
 prices under section 20 of CPR 34. In 
 addition, adjustments previously granted 
 any of them under that section are auto¬ 
 matically revoked by this supplementary 
 regulation. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, the Director has con¬ 
 sulted insofar as practicable with repre¬ 
 sentative suppliers of these services, 
 including representatives of trade asso¬ 
 ciations, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization the increases permitted by this 
 supplementary regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Section 1. Purpose. This supple¬ 
 mentary regulation permits power laun¬ 
 dries in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, to 
 increase the ceiling prices of their power 
 laundry services by 5 percent. This sup¬ 
 plementary regulation shall not apply to 
 the diaper supply, linen supply and dry 
 cleaning services of power laundries. 
 
 Sec. 2. Relationship to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. All provisions of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34, as amended, except 
 as affected by the provisions of this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation shall remain in

 Sec. 3. Adjustment of ceiling prices. 
 You may, to the extent you supply power 
 laundry services in Milwaukee County, 
 
 Wisconsin, increase your ceiling prices by 
 5 percent for power laundry services, 
 except diaper supply, linen supply and 
 dry cleaning services, thus supplied, by 
 either of the following methods: 
 
 (a) You may apply such an adjust¬ 
 ment to the total amount of each Invoice 
 rendered to the customer, provided you 
 shall clearly stamp or evidence on each 
 such invoice the words ‘‘OPS permitted 
 price increase.” 
 
 (b) You may, in lieu of the method 
 provided in paragraph (a) of this sec¬ 
 tion, increase by 5 percent the flat prices 
 of each power laundry services article, 
 except a diaper supply, linen supply and 
 dry cleaning services article. If you 
 determine your ceiling prices under the 
 provisions of this paragraph and the 
 ceiling prices you so determine result in 
 a fraction of a cent, that fraction must 
 be adjusted upward or downward, as 
 the case may be, to the cent next nearest 
 such fraction. Within ten days after 
 your prices are established under this 
 paragraph, you must prepare and file 
 with your district office of the Office of 
 Price Stabilization a supplemental state¬ 
 ment as required under section 18 of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. You may 
 not price under paragraph (a) of this 
 section once you have elected to price 
 under this paragraph. 
 
 Sec. 4. Application of section 20 of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. No seller 
 subject to this supplementary regulation 
 may, after the effective date of this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation, apply for an ad¬ 
 justment of any of his ceiling prices 
 under section 20 of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34, as amended. All orders estab¬ 
 lishing ceiling prices for any power 
 laundry subject to this supplementary 
 regulation issued under either section 20 
 (a), (b) or (c) of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34, as amended, are hereby revoked, 
 upon the effective date of this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 5. Definitions, (a) “Power laun¬ 
 dry” or “power laundries” as used in 
 this regulation are laundries which in 
 the laundry trade are customarily known 
 and designated as such, and do not in¬ 
 clude hand laundries, launderettes or 
 laundries using home-type laundry 
 equipment to supply laundry services. 
 
 Effective date. This Supplementary 
 Regulation 15 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 shall become effective April 28, 1952. 
 
 Not*: The record-keeping and reporting 
 requirements of this regulation have been 
 approved by the Bureau of the Budget in 
 accordance with the Federal Reports Act 
 of 1942.

 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 1 to Supplementary 
 Regulation 15 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 clarifies the computation of ceil¬ 
 ing price increases granted by this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation. Under Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 15 power laundries 
 in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, are 
 granted a 5 percent increase in ceiling 
 
 prices for certain power laundry services. 
 Affected service sellers have the choice 
 of adding the percent increase to each 
 invoice or of increasing the flat price of 
 each article by the permitted 5 percent. 
 In both cases, there will be many in¬ 
 stances when the new ceiling price will 
 conteist of a fraction of a cent. It is nec¬ 
 essary, therefore, to add to the regula¬ 
 tory provisions of the regulation a new 
 paragraph setting forth instructions on 
 how to determine the ceiling price in 
 these cases. 
 
 In addition, there is some ambiguity 
 as to the applicability of the supplemen¬ 
 tary filing requirement of section 18 (c) 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. Section 
 3 (a) of Supplementary Regulation 15 is 
 amended to show clearly that a supple¬ 
 mentary filing is not required of power 
 laundries which add the 5 percent in¬ 
 crease to each invoice. 
 
 In view of the clarifying nature of this 
 amendment, special circumstances have 
 rendered consultation with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, including trade association 
 representatives, impracticable. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 15 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 is amended in 
 the following respects: 
 
 1. The second sentence of the third 
 paragraph of the Statement of Consid¬ 
 eration is deleted. 
 
 2. Paragraph (a) of section 3 is 
 amended by adding at the end thereof 
 a new sentence to read as follows: “If 
 you use this method of applying your 
 price increase you need not make the 
 supplementary filing required by section 
 18 (c) of Ceiling Price Regulation 34.“ 
 
 3. Paragraph (b) of section 3 is 
 amended by deleting the second sentence 
 thereof. . 
 
 4. A new paragraph (c) is added to 
 section 3 to read as follows: 
 
 (c) If the increase computed in para¬ 
 graph (a) or (b) of this section results 
 in a fraction of a cent, the ceiling price 
 must be decreased to the next lower 
 cent if the fractional cent is less than 
 one-half cent, or may be increased to the 
 next higher cent if the fraction is one- 
 half cent or more.

 CPR 34—Services 
 
 SR 16—WHOLESALE LABOR WARRANTY 
 SERVICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 as amended, Executive Order 10161 (15 
 P. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Supplementary Regulation 16 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 16 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as amended, 
 permits a manufacturer who introduces 
 a new commodity or a new model of an 
 existing commodity to apply for a ceiling 
 price for the new wholesale labor war¬ 
 ranty service to be furnished in connec¬ 
 tion with the sale of this commodity. 
 
 Many products, especially in the 
 household appliances field, carry with 
 their sale to the consumer a period of 
 guarantee or warranty. Generally, the 
 retail dealer performs any necessary 
 service in connection therewith. How¬ 
 ever, some manufacturer and distrib¬ 
 utor organizations find it more desirable 
 to appoint firms that primarily perform 
 repair services to handle much or all of 
 such guarantee or warranty work in 
 their appointed areas. These are called 
 central service firms (or stations). The 
 arrangement usually provides that the 
 manufacturer or distributor pay, to the 
 dealer or central service firm responsible 
 for performing the service, a stipulated 
 amount for each product, sold in the 
 area, to which a guarantee or warranty 
 is applicable. 
 
 In order to be eligible to apply under 
 this supplementary regulation, a manu¬ 
 facturer or distributor must have cus¬ 
 tomarily set or proposed uniform prices 
 which were uniformly adopted through¬ 
 out the United States for its wholesale 
 labor warranty arrangements. The 
 manufacturer or distributor qualifying 
 hereunder may apply for a ceiling price 
 for the new wholesale labor warranty 
 service in line with customary prices in 
 the industry and with the level of ceil¬ 
 ing prices established by Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. In determining whether 
 a requested ceiling price is in line with 
 
 ceiling prices established for similar 
 warranty services OPS will give consid¬ 
 eration to relative costs of rendering 
 these services. In the absence of such a 
 provision it would be necessary for each 
 dealer or central service firm to indi¬ 
 vidually apply for a wholesale labor war¬ 
 ranty service ceiling price for each new 
 commodity or new model of a commodity 
 introduced by a manufacturer. This 
 regulation will, therefore, substantially 
 reduce the administrative burden which 
 would otherwise face both the affected 
 industries and the Office of Price Stabil¬ 
 ization. 
 
 In view of the technical nature 
 of the provisions of this regulation, 
 special circumstances have rendered 
 consultation with industry representa¬ 
 tives, including trade association repre¬ 
 sentatives, impracticable. In the judg¬ 
 ment of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion the provisions of this regulation 
 are generally fair and equitable and are 
 necessary to effectuate the purposes of 
 Title IV of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended.

 Section 1. What this supplementary 
 regulation does. This supplementary 
 regulation permits a manufacturer of¬ 
 fering for sale a new commodity or a 
 new model of an existing commodity to 
 apply for a ceiling price for its new 
 wholesale labor warranty service if such 
 manufacturer has customarily set or 
 proposed uniform prices which have 
 been uniformly adopted throughout the 
 United States for its wholesale labor 
 warranty arrangements. 
 
 Sec. 2. Relationship to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. All provisions of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34, except the pro¬ 
 visions of section 18 (c) thereof, shall 
 remain in effect for all sellers of af¬ 
 fected wholesale labor warranty services. 
 All buyers of affected wholesale labor 
 warranty services shall be subject to all 
 applicable provisions of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34, including section 9 
 thereof. 
 
 Sec. 3. Application for ceiling prices. 
 (a) If you are a manufacturer offering 
 
 for sale a new commodity or a new model 
 of an existing commodity and it has been 
 your custom to set or to propose uniform 
 prices which have been adopted uni¬ 
 formly throughout the United States for 
 certain wholesale labor warranty serv¬ 
 ices sold by your authorized dealers or 
 central service firms to you or your dis¬ 
 tributor organization or organizations as 
 an incident of the sale of such new com¬ 
 modity or new model, you may apply to 
 the Office of Price Stabilization, Service 
 Trades Branch, Washington 25, D. C., for 
 a ceiling price for each new wholesale 
 labor warranty service in line with the 
 level of ceiling prices established by this 
 regulation. 
 
 (1) Your application must contain a 
 description of the wholesale labor war¬ 
 ranty service, anticipated direct labor 
 costs and anticipated direct material 
 costs, the basis used for making the de¬ 
 termination of cost (such as the actual 
 annual or other representative period 
 average cost for a similar service upon 
 a similar commodity) and the proposed 
 ceiling price. In addition, you must 
 submit a description of the most com¬ 
 parable wholesale labor warranty service 
 furnished by retail dealers or central 
 service firms to you or to your whole¬ 
 sale distributor or distributors showing 
 the present annual or other representa¬ 
 tive period average direct labor costs and 
 direct material costs for such wholesale 
 labor warranty service and the present 
 ceiling price therefor. Where there is 
 no comparable wholesale labor warranty 
 service to you or your distribution organ¬ 
 ization or where the above cost data can¬ 
 not be obtained to substantiate the pro¬ 
 posed price, you must furnish a descrip¬ 
 tion and ceiling price for any comparable 
 wholesale labor warranty service fur¬ 
 nished by retail dealers or central serv¬ 
 ice firms on competing products of two 
 or more other manufacturers. 
 
 (2) You may not establish your ceil¬ 
 ing price for the wholesale labor war¬ 
 ranty service for your dealers or central 
 service firms under this subsection un¬ 
 til that price is approved by Special Or¬ 
 der of OPS and is published in the Fed¬ 
 eral Register. 
 
 Effective date. This'Supplementary 
 Regulation 16 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34, as amended, is effective April 28, 
 1952.

 Order No. 2 (16 P. R. 738). this Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 17 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 17 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as amended, 
 permits fur dressers in the counties of 
 Bronx, Kings. New York and Queens in 
 the State of New York and in the 
 counties of Hudson and Somerset in the 
 State of New Jersey (hereinafter re¬ 
 ferred to as the New York City area) to 
 increase their present ceiling prices for 
 fur dressing services by eight percent. 
 The services supplied by fur dressers in 
 the New York City area have been pro¬ 
 vided at uniform prices for similar serv¬ 
 ices performed on similar furs for many 
 years antedating the issuance of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34- There are 18 firms 
 providing fur dressing services in the 
 New York City area. A study of the 
 operating costs and profit margins of a 
 representative number of these fur 
 dressing firms, accounting for approxi¬ 
 mately 80 percent of total fur dressing 
 sales in this area, reveals that they are 
 suffering an impairment of their pre- 
 Korean earnings as a result of recent 
 increased labor costs which have been 
 incurred. The uniform adjustment 
 authorized for these sellers has been 
 computed in accordance with the stand¬ 
 ards for individual adjustments in sec¬ 
 tion 20 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 The existence of uniform prices, stand¬ 
 ardized service and generally comparable 
 earnings experience facilitate the area 
 order pricing technique. In the formu¬ 
 lation of this regulation there has been 
 consultation with industry representa¬ 
 tives, including trade association repre¬ 
 sentatives, and consideration has been 
 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of the Office of 
 Price Stabilization the increases permit¬ 
 ted by this supplementary regulation are 
 generally fair and equitable and are nec¬ 
 essary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended.

 ing methods: (a) You may apply such an 
 increase to the total amount of each 
 invoice rendered to the customer com¬

 to section 18 (c) of Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 34, or (b) you may increase by 
 eight percent the ceiling price of each 
 fur dressing service which you supply 
 and you must file your new ceiling prices 
 
 pursuant to section 18 (c) of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34.

 crease results in a fraction of a cent, the 
 price must be decreased to the next lower 
 cent if the fractional cent is less than 
 one-half cent, or may be increased to 
 the next higher cent if the fraction is 
 one-half cent or more.

 SR 18 BOWLING ALLEYS IN BALTIMORE, 
 MARYLAND 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive 
 Order 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), and Eco¬ 
 nomic Stabilization Agency General Or¬ 
 der No. 2 (16 P. R. 738), this Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 18 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 18 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 establishes 
 dollars and cents ceiling prices for open 
 and league bowling services supplied by 
 bowling alleys situated in the City of 
 Baltimore, Maryland. Bowling services 
 have been rendered in Baltimore at sub¬ 
 stantially uniform prices for many years 
 antedating the issuance of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. The piece rates paid pin 
 boys by all establishments are identical; 
 and wage rates paid other employees, 
 and unit costs of bowling supplies are 
 substantially the same. The existence of 
 uniform prices and standardized services 
 facilitate the establishment of dollars 
 and cents ceiling prices. 
 
 A study of the operating costs and 
 profit margins of a representative num¬ 
 ber of bowling alleys situated in the City 
 of Baltimore, accounting for 90 percent 
 of total sales, discloses that despite a 
 stable volume of sales they are suffering 
 an impairment of their normal pre- 
 Korean earnings as a result of steadily 
 increasing operating costs, particularly 
 in the piece rate of pin boys and the cost 
 of bowling pins. In addition, a wage in¬ 
 crease recently granted to pin boys, 
 which has been approved by the Wage 
 Stabilization Board, has imposed further 
 financial hardship. Failure to make an 
 adjustment in the ceiling prices of these 
 
 establishments would threaten an inter¬ 
 ruption in the supply of their services. 
 The dollars and cents ceiling prices es¬ 
 tablished by this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion are deemed the minimum necessary 
 to restore these businesses to a flanancial 
 position which will assure the continued 
 supply of these services. The adjusted 
 ceiling prices have been determined in 
 accordance with the adjustment stand¬ 
 ard of Section 20 of CPR 34. 
 
 This supplementary regulation does 
 not apply to any seller of bowling serv¬ 
 ices who has established under Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 higher prices for 
 such services than the dollars and cents 
 ceiling prices established by this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation. In the future, 
 bowling establishments subject to this 
 supplementary regulation may not ob¬ 
 tain an adjustment of their ceiling prices 
 for services under section 20 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. 
 
 In the formulation of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, the Director has 
 consulted insofar as practicable with 
 representative suppliers of these serv¬ 
 ices, including the Monumental City 
 Bowling Proprietors’ Association of Bal¬ 
 timore, Maryland, and consideration has 
 been given to their recommendations. 
 In the judgment of the Director of Price 
 Stabilization the increases permitted by 
 this supplementary regulation are nec¬ 
 essary to effectuate the purposes of 
 Title IV of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 19 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 19 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in ceiling prices for wholesale 
 laundry services to retail hand laundries 
 supplied by power laundries situated in 
 the Counties of Bronx, New York, Kings, 
 Queens, Richmond, Westchester, Nassau, 
 and Suffolk, in New York State. 
 
 A study of the operating costs and 
 profit margins of a representative num¬ 
 ber of the power laundries supplying 
 wholesale laundry services to retail hand 
 laundries, which it is estimated amount¬ 
 ed to five and one-half million dollars in 
 1951, reveals that increased labor and 
 material costs have impaired the pre- 
 Korean earnings of such power laundries. 
 In addition in May, 1952, new wage con¬ 
 tracts were negotiated granting substan¬ 
 tial wage increases to all classes of 
 workers. The wage increases are all 
 within the formula of Wage Stabilization 
 Board regulations or have received Wage 
 Stabilization Board approval with the 
 result that the earnings of these power 
 laundries will be further impaired. The 
 amount granted herein has been deter¬ 
 mined to be the minimum necessary to 
 maintain the financial stability of these 
 power laundries in order to assure a con¬ 
 tinued supply of these essential wholesale 
 laundry services. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation the charges of these 
 power laundries for their wholesale laun¬ 
 dry services to retail hand laundries may 
 be increased by 5 percent. This uniform 
 increase was determined in accordance 
 with the standards for individual adjust¬ 
 ment under section 20 of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. Such an adjustment may 
 be applied to the total amount of each 
 invoice rendered to the customer, and 
 identified as the “OPS permitted price 
 increase." If this method is used to 
 apply the amount of the increase, the 
 seller need not make the supplementary 
 
 filing required by section 18 (c) of CPR 
 34. At the option of the individual power 
 laundry, however, the ceiling price for 
 each item may be increased by not more 
 than 5 percent. Adjusted flat prices 
 must within ten days after their de¬ 
 termination be filed with the appropriate 
 Office of Price Stabilization district 
 office. 
 
 In the future, power laundries subject 
 to this supplementary regulation may 
 not obtain an adjustment of their ceiling 
 prices for their wholesale laundry serv¬ 
 ices under section 20 of CPR 34. 
 
 In addition, the ceiling prices estab¬ 
 lished by this supplementary regulation 
 apply to all such power laundries’ whole¬ 
 sale laundry services to their retail hand 
 laundries, irrespective of any adjustment 
 of ceiling prices heretofore granted un¬ 
 der the provisions of CPR 34. Conse¬ 
 quently, any adjustments granted under 
 that regulation are automatically re¬ 
 voked as of the effective date of this 
 supplementary regulation. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation the Director has con¬ 
 sulted insofar as practicable with 
 representative suppliers of these services, 
 including representatives of trade asso¬ 
 ciations, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Stabi¬ 
 lization the increases permitted by this 
 supplementary regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes to Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive 
 Order 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in ceiling prices for certain serv¬ 
 ices supplied by power laundries situ¬ 
 ated in the City of St. Louis, Missouri. 
 This supplementary regulation does not 
 permit the increase to be applied to the 
 diaper supply, linen supply and dry 
 cleaning services of such laundries. 
 
 A study of the operating costs and 
 profit margins of a representative num¬ 
 ber of the power laundries in the City of 
 St. Louis, which provide 90 percent of 
 the total sales of services furnished by 
 these laundries amounting to an esti¬ 
 mated seven and one-half million dol¬ 
 lars in 1951, reveals that increased labor 
 and material costs have impaired the 
 pre-Korean earnings of such laundries. 
 In addition, in December 1951, new two- 
 year wage contracts were entered into 
 with labor unions representing the em¬ 
 ployees of these laundries which resulted 
 in substantial wage increases to all 
 classes of workers. These wage in¬ 
 creases are all within the formula of 
 Wage Stabilization Boa?d regulations or 
 have received Wage Stabilization Board 
 approval, with the result that earnings 
 of these laundries will be further im¬ 
 paired. The price increase granted 
 herein has been determined to be the 
 minimum necessary to maintain the 
 financial stability of these laundries in 
 order to assure a continued supply of 
 these essential services. The uniform 
 increase has been determined in accord¬ 
 ance with the standards for individual 
 adjustments under section 20 of CPR 34. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, ceiling prices of such 
 power laundries may be increased by 7 
 percent, such adjustment to be applied 
 to the total amount of each invoi' e ren¬ 
 dered to the customer and identified as 
 the “OPS permitted, price incrc-se.” If 
 this method is used to apply the amount 
 of the increase, the seller need not make 
 the supplementary filing required by sec¬ 
 tion 18 (c) of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34. At the option of the individual laun¬ 
 dry. however, the flat ceiling price for 
 each article may be increased by 7 per¬ 
 
 cent. Adjusted flat ceiling prices must, 
 within ten days after their determina¬ 
 tion, be filed with the appropriate Office 
 of Price Stabilization district office as 
 required by section 18 (c) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. 
 
 In the future, power laundries subject 
 to this supplementary regulation may 
 not obtain an adjustment of their ceiling 
 prices for power laundry services under 
 section 20 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 Any adjustment of ceiling prices under 
 section 20 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 heretofore granted is automatically re¬ 
 voked as of the effective date of this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, the Director has con¬ 
 sulted insofar as practicable wit!; repre¬ 
 sentative suppliers of these services, 
 including representatives of trade asso¬ 
 ciations, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization the increases permitted by this 
 supplementary regulation are necessary 
 to effectuate the purposes of Title IV of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as

 10161 and Economic Stabilization Agen¬ 
 cy General Order No. 2 this Amendment 
 1 to Supplementary Regulation 20 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 1 to Supplementary 
 Regulation 20 permits an increase in 
 ceiling prices for dry cleaning services 
 supplied by power laundries situated in 
 the City of St. Louis, Missouri. Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 20 effective June 23, 
 1952 permitted power laundries in the 
 City of St. Louis to increase their ceiling 
 charges for power laundry services by 
 7 percent. Excluded from the applica¬ 
 tion of such increase were the diaper 
 supply, linen supply and dry cleaning 
 services of such power laundries. This 
 Amendment 1 removes the limitation of 
 the application of Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 20 only as to dry cleaning services 
 supplied by power laundries. The ceil¬ 
 ing prices of diaper supply and linen 
 supply services of such power laundries 
 are not affected by this amendment. 
 Such services shall continue to be priced 
 under the pricing provisions of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. 
 
 When the power laundries in this area 
 submitted their financial data which was 
 the basis for the limited relief granted 
 by Supplementary Regulation 20, such 
 financial data covered their total opera¬ 
 tions. Their request for ceiling price 
 increases covered both laundry and dry 
 cleaning services. At the time of the 
 issuance of Supplementary Regulation 
 20 it was determined that hardship re¬ 
 sulting from dry cleaning price ceilings 
 could be relieved by individual adjust¬ 
 ment under section 20 (a) of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34, as amended. Upon 
 reexamination of this decision at the 
 request of the power laundries it was 
 decided that a uniform increase would 
 
 relieve the hardship still existing and 
 substantially reduce the administrative 
 burden to OPS which is occasioned in 
 the processing, and issuing of individual 
 adjustment orders. 
 
 The same considerations that gov¬ 
 erned the action taken in Supplemen¬ 
 tary Regulation 20 exist in connection 
 with the granting of relief by way of 
 this amendment. 
 
 This amendment only affects the cov¬ 
 erage of Supplementary Regulation 20 
 and does not make any changes in the 
 amount of permitted increase or the 
 methods by which the increase granted 
 by this amendment is to be effected. 
 The pricing technique of Supplementary 
 Regulation 20 remains the same. How¬ 
 ever, a definition of “dry cleaning serv¬ 
 ices” has been added. 
 
 The uniform increase granted by this 
 amendment has been determined in ac¬ 
 cordance with the standards for indi¬ 
 vidual adjustments under Section 20 of 
 CPR 34 and is the minimum necessary 
 to maintain the financial stability of 
 these laundries and to assure a continued 
 supply of dry cleaning services. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade asso¬ 
 ciation representatives to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 20 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 is amended in 
 the following respects: 
 
 1. Section 1 is amended to read as fol¬ 
 lows: 
 
 Section 1. Purpose. This supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation permits power laundries 
 whose plants are located in the City of 
 St. Louis, Missouri, to increase their ceil¬ 
 ing prices for power laundry services and 
 dry cleaning services by 7 percent. This 
 Supplementary Regulation does not ap¬ 
 ply to diaper supply and linen supply 
 services of power laundries. 
 
 2. The first paragraph of section 3 is 
 amended to read as follows: 
 
 Sec. 3. Adjustment of ceiling prices. 
 If you are a power laundry,' you may in¬ 
 crease by 7 percent your ceiling prices 
 for dry cleaning and power laundry serv¬ 
 ices, except for diaper supply and linen 
 supply services, rendered from plants lo¬ 
 cated in the City of St. Louis, Missouri. 
 You may put such increase into effect by 
 either of the following methods: 
 
 3. The first sentence of paragraph (b) 
 of section 3 is amended to read as fol¬ 
 lows:

 CINCINNATI, OHIO. TRADING AREA 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 P. R. 738), this Supplementary 
 Regulation 21 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 21 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in ceiling prices for power laun¬ 
 dry services supplied by power laundries 
 situated in the Greater Cincinnati, Ohio, 
 Trading Area. This supplementary 
 regulation does not permit the increase 
 to be applied, to the diaper supply, linen 
 supply and dry cleaning services of such 
 laundries. 
 
 Ap OPS study of the operating costs 
 and profit margins of a representative 
 number of the power laundries in the 
 Greater Cincinnati, Ohio, Trading Area 
 accounting for over 88* percent of the 
 total sales of these services which, it is 
 estimated, amounted .to about 5 million 
 dollars in 1951, reveals that increased 
 labor and material costs incurred be¬ 
 tween June 24, 1950 and January 1, 1952 
 have impaired the pre-Korean earnings 
 of such laundries. In addition, in April 
 1952 a one year wage contract was en¬ 
 tered into with labor unions represent¬ 
 ing the employees of these laundries 
 granting substantial wage increases to 
 production workers. These wage in¬ 
 creases all have received WSB approval 
 or are within the formula of Wage Sta¬ 
 bilization Board regulations; with the 
 result that the earnings of the laundries 
 will be further impaired. The increase 
 in ceiling prices granted herein has been 
 determined to be the minimum necessary 
 to maintain the financial stability of 
 these laundries and to assure a continued 
 supply of these essential services. The 
 action taken herein with respect to the 
 group of power laundry operators gives 
 effect to the standards for individual ad¬ 
 justments of section 20 (a) of CPR 34. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, ceiling prices of such 
 power laundries may be increased by not 
 more than 7 percent, such adjustment to 
 be applied to the total amount of each 
 invoice rendered to the customer and 
 identified as the “OPS permitted price 
 increase.” If this method is used to ap¬ 
 ply the amount of the increase, the seller 
 need not make the supplementary filing 
 required by section 18 <c) of CPR 34. 
 
 At the option of the individual laundry, 
 however, the ceiling price for each arti¬ 
 cle may be increased by not more than 7 
 percent. Adjusted ceiling prices must 
 within ten days after their determina¬ 
 tion be filed with the appropriate Office 
 of Price Stabilization district office. 
 
 In the future, power laundries subject 
 to this supplementary regulation may 
 not obtain an adjustment of their ceiling 
 prices for power laundry services under 
 section 20 of CPR 34. In addition, ad¬ 
 justments previously granted any of 
 them under that section are automati¬ 
 cally revoked by this supplementary 
 regulation. 
 
 In the formulation of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, the Director has 
 consulted insofar as practicable with 
 representative suppliers of these serv¬ 
 ices, including representatives of trade 
 associations, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization the increase permitted by this 
 supplementary regulation is generally 
 fair and equitable and necessary to ef¬ 
 fectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 establishing ceiling prices for any power 
 laundry subject to this supplementary

 tion, Economic Stabilization Agency 
 
 (Celling Price Regulation 34, Supplementary 
 Regulation 22] 
 
 CPR 34— Services 
 
 SR 22—SERVICE CHARGES FOR BANKS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Supplementary 
 Regulation 22 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 22 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as amended, 
 adapts ceiling price regulation of bank 
 service charges more nearly to the op¬ 
 erations of the banking industry. 
 
 Generally, this regulation covers two 
 classes of situations. First, it provides, 
 to the extent consistent with fair treat¬ 
 ment of small as well as large depositors, 
 flexibility for changes in certain service 
 charges within individual banks so long 
 as the total revenue to the bank from 
 service charges remains approximately 
 the same as it was during the most re¬ 
 cent fiscal year. More specifically, this 
 regulation contains a provision for sim¬ 
 plifying the method of determining 
 earnings credit on depositors’ checking 
 accounts. It also permits a realignment 
 of service charges and at the same time 
 assures that the services which were 
 available during the base period will re¬ 
 main available to all classes of de¬ 
 positors. Also included in this part of 
 the regulation is' a provision which will 
 permit nonpar banks with an exchange 
 charge system to change to par banks 
 with a schedule of service charges in lieu 
 of the exchange charges. 
 
 Secondly, this regulation provides a 
 means for realigning service charges 
 where such a realignment is necessary 
 to permit the customary uniformity of 
 ceiling prices and sound banking opera¬ 
 tion in certain cases where a bank has 
 branch offices. 
 
 A provision is included in this part of 
 the regulation to permit those banks 
 which had a trial service charge in effect 
 during the base period to price uniformly 
 at all of their branch offices if those 
 banks customarily had a substantially 
 uniform system of pricing at all of their 
 branch offices. Consideration has also 
 been given to the special pricing prob¬ 
 lems of merging and consolidating banks 
 and to new branch offices of old banks. 
 With respect to the merger or consolida¬ 
 tion situation, this supplementary regu¬ 
 lation authorizes the smaller merging 
 
 bank to adopt entirely, but not in part, 
 the schedule of service charges of the 
 larger merging bank where the larger 
 bank is accountable for 66% percent or 
 more of their aggregate total time and 
 demand deposits. If the necessary two- 
 thirds ratio is not present, the merging 
 or consolidating banks either may con¬ 
 tinue their individual lawful ceiling 
 prices for service charges in effect at the 
 time of the merger or may apply under 
 section 4 of this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion for an appropriate changed sched¬ 
 ule of service charges. The provision 
 for branch offices permits new bank 
 branches to adopt the schedule of serv¬ 
 ice ceiling charges in effect at the prin¬ 
 cipal bank if the principal bank had a 
 substantially uniform system of service 
 charges during the base period or did 
 not, prior to the base period, have any 
 branch offices. 
 
 This supplementary regulation also 
 states additional requirements and spe¬ 
 cial factors to be taken into account in 
 respect to banks which seek to qualify 
 for and obtain a ceiling price adjust¬ 
 ment under section 20 (a) of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34, as amended. 
 
 There is nothing in this supplementary 
 regulation which would prohibit any 
 bank from determining its schedule of 
 service charge ceilings pursuant to any 
 of the provisions of Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 34, as amended. The provisions 
 of this supplementary regulation are 
 alternatives which a bank may utilize, if 
 it wishes, in lieu of the otherwise appli¬ 
 cable provisions of Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 34. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation there was consultation 
 with representatives of the banking in¬ 
 dustry as well as members of bankers’ 
 trade associations and consideration was 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation the provisions of this regulation 
 are generally fair and equitable and are 
 necessary to effectuate the purpose of 
 Title IV of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended.

 Section 1. What this regulation does. 
 (a) This supplementary regulation to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 authorizes 
 banks to institute a new v method or to 
 change their present method of comput¬ 
 ing depositors’ earnings credits in con¬ 
 nection with service charge ceilings on 
 hepositors’ checking accounts. It per¬ 
 mits banks to change their schedule of 
 service charge ceilings if certain require¬ 
 ments are met. It also authorizes banks 
 desiring to change from a nonpar check 
 clearance system to a par check clearance 
 system to institute service charges in 
 lieu of exchange charges. It further 
 provides a method by which banks may 
 establish uniform service charge ceilings 
 where two or more banks merge or con¬ 
 solidate and in certain other instances 
 where banks operate branch offices, 
 
 (b) This supplementary regulation 
 also states additional requirements and 
 special factors to be taken into account 
 in respect to banks which seek to qualify 
 for and obtain a ceiling price adjustment 
 under section 20 (a) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34, as amended. 
 
 Sec. 2. Relationship to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. The provisions of this 
 supplementary regulation give banks the 
 option to determine certain ceiling prices 
 for service charges differently than per¬ 
 mitted by the provisions of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34, as amended. Except for 
 such option, all provisions of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 remain in effect for 
 service suppliers affected by this regula¬ 
 tion. 
 
 Sec. 3. Alternative methods of com¬ 
 puting earnings credit on depositors’ 
 checking accounts. This section applies 
 to you if you are a bank and wish to 
 modify your service charge ceilings by 
 changing your present method of com¬ 
 puting earnings credit on depositors’ 
 checking accounts. In this event you 
 may apply to the Director of Price 
 Stabilization, Attention: Chief, Service 
 Trades Branch, Washington 25, D. C., 
 for permission to change your method 
 of computing the earnings credit on de¬ 
 positors’ checking accounts from one of 
 the following methods to another of the 
 following methods: (a) An average daily 
 balance for the month, with customary 
 deductions for float and reserve; or (b) 
 the depositors’ minimum balance for 
 the month, without deduction for float 
 and reserve; or (c) by adding the high¬ 
 est balance appearing during a month 
 and the lowest balance appearing during 
 the same month, dividing the total by 
 two, and making customary deductions 
 for float and reserve. Your application 
 under this section must contain an ex- 
 
85 Serv 32:2402 
 
 planation of your present method (in¬ 
 cluded in the foregoing list of alterna¬ 
 tives) of computing earnings credit on 
 depositors’ checking accounts and a 
 statement of which of the alternative 
 methods provided for herein you propose 
 to use in lieu of your present method. 
 You may not change your method of 
 computing your earnings credit on de¬ 
 positors’ checking accounts under this 
 section until you are advised in writing 
 of OPS approval. Nothing in this sec¬ 
 tion shall be construed to authorize any 
 bank to lower the raje it allows to its 
 depositors with respect to credit on de¬ 
 positors’ checking accounts. 
 
 Sec. 4. Changing schedule of service 
 charges on depositors’ checking accounts. 
 
 (a) Banks which now have a schedule of 
 service charges on depositors’ checking 
 accounts may apply to the Director of 
 Price Stabilization, Attention: Chief, 
 Service Trades Branch, Washington 25, 
 D. C., for permission to substitute an¬ 
 other schedule therefor, provided: 
 
 (1 ) The aggregate proceeds that would 
 have been received from the proposed 
 schedule of service charges on depositors’ 
 checking accounts had that schedule 
 been in effect during the last preceding 
 fiscal year do not exceed the aggregate 
 proceeds actually received from the serv¬ 
 ice charges on depositors’ checking ac¬ 
 counts in effect during that period; 
 
 (2) The proposed schedule of service 
 charges on depositors’ checking accounts 
 will not result in the discontinuance of 
 any service rendered during the base 
 period to any class of depositor; and 
 
 (3) The requested plan is fair and 
 equitable to all classes of depositors and 
 particularly that smaller depositors will 
 not be subjected to an unreasonable in¬ 
 crease in charges under the requested 
 plan. 
 
 (b) If you are ?. bank applying for per¬ 
 mission to change your schedule of serv¬ 
 ice charges on depositors’ checking ac¬ 
 counts under this section, your applica¬ 
 tion must contain the following infor¬ 
 mation : 
 
 (1) An explanation of your present 
 service charge plan, including rates on 
 depositors’ checking accounts of various 
 categories. 
 
 (2) An explanation of the requested 
 plan and rates of service charges on your 
 depositors’ checking accounts of various 
 categories. 
 
 (3) A statement of (i) the total in¬ 
 come actually received from the service 
 charges on your depositors’ checking 
 accounts during the last preceding fiscal 
 year, (ii) the total income actually re¬ 
 ceived from service charges on your 
 depositors’ checking accounts in each of 
 every third month of the last preceding 
 fiscal year and (iii) the total income 
 that you would have received from serv¬ 
 ice charges on your depositors’ checking 
 accounts in each of the same months as 
 in subdivision (ii) if the requested sched¬ 
 ule of service charges described in sub- 
 paragraph (2) of this paragraph had 
 been in effect. The statement of income 
 required by this subparagraph must in¬ 
 clude an analysis of all established cate¬ 
 gories of depositors’ checking accounts 
 that would have been affected under the 
 proposed schedule but must exclude in¬ 
 
 come received from other service charges 
 not included in the present or proposed 
 service charge schedule. 
 
 (4) If you have ever been authorized 
 to adjust your service charges by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, you must 
 adequately identify the order by which 
 you were authorized to make such ad¬ 
 justment. 
 
 (5) If you have changed from a non¬ 
 par bank to a par bank under section 5 
 of this regulation, you must adequately 
 identify your application therefor, and 
 any order issued with respect thereto. 
 
 (c) You may not change the schedule 
 of service charges on depositors’ check¬ 
 ing accounts under this section until you 
 are advised in writing of OPS approval, 
 which will be given only where granting 
 such approval is consistent with the pur¬ 
 poses of the Defense Production Act of 
 1950, as amended. 
 
 Sec. 5. Nonpar banks changing to par 
 banks. (Substitution of a check clear¬ 
 ance service charge to the maker in 
 place of an exchange charge to the 
 payee or endorser.) 
 
 (a) If you are a bank which now im¬ 
 poses an exchange charge for check 
 clearance on the payee or endorser of a 
 check (nonpar system) and you now 
 wish to impose a service charge on the 
 maker of the check (par system), you 
 may, under this section, apply to OPS 
 for permission to change from the non¬ 
 par system to a system of service charges 
 applicable to depositors’ checking ac¬ 
 counts. However, you must make a 
 showing that the total calculated in¬ 
 come from the application of proposed 
 service charges to depositors’ checking 
 account, had they been in effect during 
 the last preceding fiscal year, would not 
 have exceeded the total income actually 
 received from the service charges on de¬ 
 positors’ checking accounts and ex¬ 
 change charges in effect during that 
 fiscal year. 
 
 (b) Your application under this sec¬ 
 tion must be submitted to the Director 
 of Price Stabilization, Attention: Chief, 
 Service Trades Branch, Washington 25, 
 D. C., and must contain the following 
 information: 
 
 (1) An explanation of your present 
 schedule of exchange charges and serv¬ 
 ice charges on depositors’ checking ac¬ 
 counts, if any. 
 
 (2) An explanation of the service 
 charge plan and schedules applicable to 
 depositors’ checking accounts which you 
 propose to institute in lieu of the ex¬ 
 change charges. 
 
 (3) A statement of (i) the total in¬ 
 come actually received from exchange 
 charges and service charges on deposi¬ 
 tors’ checking accounts, if any, during 
 the last preceding fiscal year, (ii) the 
 total income actually received from ex¬ 
 change charges and service charges on 
 depositors’ checking accounts, if any, in 
 each of every third month of the last 
 preceding fiscal year, and (iii) the total 
 income that you would have received 
 from service charges applicable to de¬ 
 positors’ checking accounts in each of 
 the same months as in subparagraph 
 (ii) if the requested plan described in 
 subparagraph (2) of this paragraph had 
 been in effect, with an explanation, in¬ 
 
 cluding wherever feasible, item counts 
 of how you arrived at such totals. 
 
 (4) If you have ever been authorized 
 to change your schedule of service 
 charges on depositors’ checking accounts 
 under any section of Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 34, as amended, or this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, you must ade¬ 
 quately identify your application and 
 any order issued with respect thereto. 
 
 (c) If your application, under this 
 section is approved by OPS as herein¬ 
 after provided you must discontinue 
 your exchange charges before institut¬ 
 ing your approved schedule of service 
 charges. You may not change from a 
 nonpar system to a system of service 
 charges applicable to depositors’ check¬ 
 ing accounts under this section however, 
 until you are advised in writing of OPS 
 approval, which will be given only where 
 granting such approval is consistent 
 with the purposes of the Defense Pro¬ 
 duction Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 Sec. 6. Base period trial service 
 charges, (a) If you have one or more 
 branch offices and during the base period 
 the prices for your service charges were 
 centrally determined and had substan¬ 
 tially uniform application in your prin¬ 
 cipal bank and your branch offices, but 
 during the base period you were supply¬ 
 ing a service at a new charge (trial serv¬ 
 ice charge) at your principal office or at 
 a branch office to determine the feasi¬ 
 bility of installing that charge in your 
 other offices, you may apply to the Direc¬ 
 tor of Price Stabilization, Attention: 
 Chief, Service Trades Branch, Washing¬ 
 ton 25, D. C., for permission to supply 
 such service at the trial service charge 
 price established for its supply in all of 
 your offices, provided you submit a state¬ 
 ment indicating (1) that you price cen¬ 
 trally out of your principal office, (2) 
 during the base period the ceiling prices 
 or pricing methods for all of your serv¬ 
 ices were substantially uniform in all 
 of your offices, (3) that the service was 
 being supplied at the trial service charge 
 price during the base period at an office 
 which you shall identify by name and ad¬ 
 dress, (4) a description of the service for 
 which you are requesting permission to 
 change your ceiling price and a state¬ 
 ment of the present ceiling price and the 
 base period trial charge therefor, and 
 
 (5) that you desire to apply this trial 
 service charge in all of your offices. 
 
 (b) You may not institute the charge 
 under this section until you are advised 
 in writing of OPS approval, which will 
 be given only where granting such ap¬ 
 proval is consistent with the purposes of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 Sec. 7. Mergers and consolidations. 
 (a) Two or more banks which have 
 merged or consolidated since January 
 25, 1951, may determine the ceiling 
 prices for their services pursuant to this 
 section if, during the base period, one 
 of the banks involved in the merger or 
 consolidation had a uniform schedule of 
 service charges in all of its offices and on 
 the next preceding June 30 or December 
 31, whichever date is closer to the date 
 of the merger or consolidation, was alone 
 or with its branches, as the case may be, 
 accountable for 66% percent or more 
 
85 Serv 32:2403 
 
 of the total time and demand deposits of 
 the merging or consolidating banks. In 
 such event, the bank resulting from the 
 merger or consolidation may apply to the 
 Director of Price Stabilization, Atten¬ 
 tion: Chief, Service Trades Branch, 
 Washington 25, D. C., for permission to 
 establish as the ceiling prices for its 
 services, the ceiling prices which the 
 bank accountable for 66% percent or 
 more of the total time and demand de¬ 
 posits had in effect on the date of the 
 merger or consolidation. 
 
 (b) If you are a bank applying for 
 permission to establish the ceiling prices 
 for your services provided for in para¬ 
 graph (a) of this section, your applica¬ 
 tion must contain a statement showing 
 how you are eligible to establish your 
 ceiling prices as provided therein to¬ 
 gether with schedules of the service 
 charges in effect at each of the merged 
 or consolidated banks on the date of 
 your application. You may not estab¬ 
 lish your ceiling prices under this sec¬ 
 tion until you are advised in writing of 
 OPS approval, which will be given only 
 where granting such approval is con¬ 
 sistent with the purposes of the Defense 
 Production Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 Sec. 8. New branch offices, (a) If 
 during the base period, December 19, 
 1950 to January 25, 1951, inclusive, you 
 had a branch office or offices with a sub¬ 
 stantially uniform schedule of service 
 charges and subsequent to January 25, 
 1951, you open or plan to open a new 
 branch office, you may apply to the 
 Director of Price Stabilization, Atten¬ 
 tion: Chief, Service Trades Branch, 
 Washington 25, D. C., for permission to 
 establish at the new branch office the 
 uniform schedule of service charges in 
 effect at your other branch office or 
 offices during the base period. 
 
 (b) Banks without branch offices dur¬ 
 
 ing the base period: If you are a bank 
 which did not have any branch offices 
 during the base period, December 19, 
 1950 to January 25, 1951, inclusive, and 
 subsequent thereto you open or plan to 
 open a new branch office, you may apply 
 to the Director of Price Stabilization, 
 Attention: Chief, Service Trades 
 
 Branch, Washington 25, D. C., for per¬ 
 mission to charge in the new branch 
 office the ceiling prices for services 
 which the principal office charges for 
 the same services supplied therein. 
 
 (c) If you are applying for permission 
 to establish ceiling prices for your serv¬ 
 ices under paragraph (a) or (b) of this 
 section your application must contain a 
 list of the addresses of the principal 
 bank and all branch offices together 
 
 with a schedule of the ceiling prices for 
 services in effect at the principal office 
 on the date of your application and if 
 you have ever been authorized to adjust 
 your service charges by the Office of 
 Price Stabilization, you must adequately 
 identify the order under which you were 
 authorized to make such adjustment. 
 You may not supply the services for 
 which you are requesting a ceiling price 
 under this section until you are advised 
 in writing of OPS approval, which will 
 be given only where granting such ap¬ 
 proval is consistent with the purpose of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 Sec. 9. Application for adjustment 
 under section 20 (a) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. If you are eligible for an 
 adjustment under section 20 (a) of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34, as amended, 
 your application must contain in addi¬ 
 tion to the information required by OPS 
 Public Form 43, Revised, a statement 
 of the total demand and time deposits 
 of the bank on the next preceding June 
 30 or December 31, whichever is closer 
 to the date of application. OPS in 
 granting relief under section 20 (a) will 
 take into account in addition to the mat¬ 
 ters referred to in that adjustment pro¬ 
 vision: (a) The United States ratio of 
 average percentage of service charge rev¬ 
 enue to total income for banks of various 
 sizes as measured by demand and time 
 deposits: (b) whether your ratio of aver¬ 
 age percentage of service charge revenue 
 to total income is more or less than the 
 United States ratio on insured banks, as 
 computed on the basis of the 1949 report 
 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor¬ 
 poration; and (c.) the reasonable dollar 
 amount of allowable increased revenue 
 from service charges to offset, in whole 
 or in part, impairment of your normal 
 pre-Korean earnings to meet the needs 
 of smaller banks and to cover costs of 
 installing or modifying your service 
 charge schedule.

 CORRECTION 
 
 Due to a clerical error the word “sub¬ 
 stantially” was omitted from the first 
 
 sentence of paragraph (a) of section 7 
 of Supplementary Regulation 22 to fil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34, effective July 11, 
 1952. Accordingly, the first sentence of 
 paragraph (a) of section 7 of Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 22 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is corrected to read as 
 follows: 
 
 (a) Two or more banks which nave 
 merged or consolidated since January 25, 
 1951, may determine the ceiling prices 
 for their services pursuant to this sec¬ 
 tion if, during the base period, one of 
 the banks involved in the merger con¬ 
 
 solidation had a substantially uniform 
 schedule of service charges in all of its 
 offices and on the next preceding June 30 
 or December 31, whichever date is closer 
 to the date of the merger or consolida¬ 
 tion, was alone or with its branches, as 
 the case may be, accountable for 66% 
 percent or more of the total time and 
 demand deposits of the merging or con¬ 
 solidating banks.

 FILING OF APPLICATIONS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161 and Economic Stabilization Agency 
 General Order No. 2, this Amendment 
 to Supplementary Regulation 22 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Supplementary 
 Regulation 22 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34, as amended, provides for filing 
 applications thereunder with the OPS 
 District Office for the district in which 
 the bank is located, rather than the Na¬ 
 tional Office. 
 
 It is the policy of this office to delegate 
 to its field offices the authority to proc¬ 
 ess applications of local sellers whenever 
 it is feasible to do so. The OPS District 
 Office in the proximate area of the seller 
 is usually better aware of the local situ¬ 
 ation and problems than the National 
 Office. In addition, the burden on the 
 applicant is often substantially lessened 
 by dealing with the local office in that it 
 is more convenient than dealing with the 
 National Office in Washington, D. C. 
 Most banks operate within a limited geo¬ 
 graphical area and their problems in 
 most cases can best be handled by local 
 OPS offices. 
 
 It is therefore the opinion of the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization that appli¬ 
 cations for change in banking practices 
 or for the establishment of ceiling prices 
 by banks on their depositors’ checking 
 accounts should be handled by the OPS 
 district offices. 
 
 The technical nature of this amend¬ 
 ment has made formal consultation with 
 industry representatives impracticable. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 22 of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34, as amended, is 
 amended by deleting the phrase “Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization, Attention: 
 Chief, Service Trades Branch, Washing¬ 
 ton 25, D. C.,” wherever it appears in 
 sections 3, 4 (a), 5 (b), 6 (a), 7 (a), 8 
 (a), and 8 (b) of Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 22 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 and inserting in lieu thereof, the phrase 
 “appropriate OPS District Office.” 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50 U. S. C.

 Effective date. This amendment is 
 effective November 18, 1952. 
 
 Note: The record-keeping requirements of 
 this amendment have been approved by the 
 Bureau of the Budget In accordance with the 
 Federal Reports Act of 1942.

 MODIFICATIONS OF APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Amendment 2 to 
 Supplementary Regulation 22 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Supplementary 
 Regulation 22 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 permits certain changes in bank¬ 
 ing practices to be instituted prior to 
 written approval from OPS in those 
 cases where the applicant is not required 
 to submit special financial data to OPS. 
 
 Previously, section 3 to Supplementary 
 Regulation 22 of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34, required OPS to approve, in 
 writing, all applications thereunder, for 
 permission to change from one method 
 of computing earnings credit on deposi¬ 
 tors’ checking accounts to another 
 method. Information available to the 
 OPS indicates that there is no signifi¬ 
 cant difference in the amount of earn¬ 
 ings credit under any of the methods 
 described in section 3. Therefore, there 
 is no requirement under that section 
 that applications contain special finan¬ 
 cial data. Accordingly, since there is 
 no financial data to be analyzed by OPS 
 there is no need to continue the re¬ 
 quirement that written authority must 
 be given by OPS before the bank can 
 change its method of computing earn¬ 
 ings credit on depositors checking- 
 accounts. 
 
 Similarly, under section 8 (b) of Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 22 to Ceiling 
 
 Price Regulation 34, any bank that did 
 not have a branch office during the base 
 period is authorized to institute in new 
 branch offices, the schedule of ceiling 
 prices at the principal bank for the same 
 service to the same class of purchaser. 
 This section is available to any bank that 
 did not have branch offices during the 
 base period and the application is in 
 effect merely a reporting of ceiling prices. 
 Accordingly, section 8 (c) is amended to 
 permit new branch banks to institute the 
 schedule of service charges of their prin¬ 
 cipal bank ten days after filing an ap¬ 
 plication therefor without written 
 approval from OPS. 
 
 Provision is not made for such auto¬ 
 matic approval of section 8(a) since that 
 section is made available only to banks 
 that had branch offices with uniform 
 prices during the base period. It is 
 therefore necessary for this office to con¬ 
 sider the application with respect to de¬ 
 termining if all the branch banks did, in 
 fact, have uniform prices during the base 
 period. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 22 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34, as amended, is 
 amended in the following respects: 
 
 1. Section 3 is amended by striking out 
 the last two sentences and inserting in 
 lieu thereof the following: “You may not 
 change your method of computing earn¬ 
 ings credit on depositors’ checking ac¬ 
 counts under this section until your ap¬ 
 plication therefor has been approved by 
 OPS, but your application shall be con¬ 
 sidered approved 10 days after mailing 
 the application or in the event any ad¬ 
 ditional information is requested by OPS, 
 ten days after mailing such additional 
 information, unless within that time OPS 
 notifies you that your application has 
 been disapproved. Nothing in this sec¬ 
 
 tion shall be construed to authorize any 
 bank to lower the rate it allows to its 
 depositors with respect to credit on de¬ 
 positors’ checking account, and in your 
 application you must certify that your 
 bank will not lower its rate of credit on 
 depositor’s checking accounts.” 
 
 2. Section 8 <c) is amended to read as 
 follows: 
 
 (c) If you are applying for permission

 Pursuant to the Defense Production

 Agency General Order No. 2, this amend¬ 
 ment to Supplementary Regulation 22 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to Supplementary 
 Regulation 22 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 permits banks to institute “no mini¬ 
 mum balance’’ checking accounts of a 
 type which they do not presently offer. 
 
 A “no minimum balance” checking ac¬ 
 count is defined for the purposes of this 
 regulation as a checking account where, 
 regardless of the balance in the de¬ 
 positor's checking account, the only 
 service charge to the depositor is a flat 
 charge for each check drawn and each 
 deposit made, or a flat charge for each 
 check drawn with no charge for deposits. 
 If a bank institutes a new type of account 
 pusuant to this amendment, it must con¬ 
 tinue to supply each type of account 
 which it offered during the base period or 
 
 since that time. Thus, this amendment 
 makes it possible for a bank to offer to 
 its depositors a selection of the type of 
 account most economical or convenient 
 to them. 
 
 The technical nature of this amend¬ 
 ment has made formal consultation with 
 industry representatives, including trade 
 association representatives, imprac¬ 
 ticable. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 22 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34, as amended, is 
 further amended in the following 
 respects: 
 
 1. Section 10 is renumbered section 11. 
 
 2. A new section 10 is added after sec¬ 
 tion 9 to read as follows: 
 
 Sec. 10. No minimum balance check¬ 
 ing accounts, (a) If you wish to supply 
 any type of no minimum balance check¬ 
 ing account which you do not presently 
 supply, you may apply to the appropriate 
 OPS District Office for the establish¬ 
 ment of a ceiling price therefor. Your 
 application must be filed by registered 
 mail, return receipt requested, must be 
 signed by you, and must contain a state¬ 
 ment of your name and address; a de¬ 
 scription of the no minimum balance 
 checking account service you wish to 
 supply; and your proposed ceiling price 
 for the service, which may not be higher 
 than the ceiling price of the bank closest 
 to you serving a comparable market and 
 supplying the identical no minimum 
 balance checking account service. Your 
 
 application must also state the name and 
 address of that bank. You may not sell 
 the service for which a ceiling price is 
 requested under this section until that 
 price has been approved by OPS, but 
 your proposed price shall be considered 
 approved 20 days after receipt of your 
 application by OPS, as shown by the re¬ 
 turn postal receipt, unless, within that 
 time, OPS notifies you otherwise. If you 
 institute a new type of account under 
 this section, you must continue to supply 
 each type of account which you supplied 
 during the base period or since. 
 
 <b) For the purposes of this section, 
 a no minimum balance checking account 
 is a type of checking account where, re¬ 
 gardless of the balance in the depositor’s 
 account, the only service charge to the 
 depositor is a flat charge for each check 
 drawn and each deposit made, or a flat 
 charge for each check drawn with no 
 charge for deposits, or a charge paid in 
 advance for a specified number of 
 checks. There may also be a mainte¬ 
 nance charge on such accounts.

 Effective date. This amendment is 
 effective December 10, 1952. 
 
 Note: The record-keeping and reporting

 SR 23—HANDLING AND STORAGE OF GRAIN 
 UNDER THE UNIFORM GRAIN STORAGE 
 AGREEMENT OF' THE UNITED STATES 
 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This supplementary regulation to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 establishes dol¬ 
 lars and cents ceiling prices for the han¬ 
 dling and storage of grain for the Com¬ 
 modity Credit Corporation under the- 
 provisions of the Uniform Grain Storage 
 Agreement. These ceiling rates are the 
 same as the rates currently set forth in 
 the uniform schedule of rates in con¬ 
 tracts for the handling and storage of 
 Commodity Credit Corporation grain. 
 
 All of the contracts for the storage and 
 handling of Commodity Credit Corpora¬ 
 tion grain include a uniform schedule 
 of rates covering such services. This 
 schedule was amended early in 1952 to 
 cover the contract year of 1952-53. The 
 renewal dates are June 1 for some prin¬ 
 cipal grain areas, and July 1 for other 
 grain areas. The Commodity Credit 
 Corporation has recommended that OPS 
 permit sellers to use this new schedule 
 of rates as their ceiling prices. 
 
 Prom the point of view of price con¬ 
 trol, the principal change that has been 
 made by the new schedule of rates issued 
 under the Uniform Grain Storage 
 Agreement is the elimination of free 
 storage time that had been allowed in 
 previous agreements. The rates for 
 handling charges, however, are the same 
 as were in effect when the General Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation was issued, and in 
 some cases storage rates have been re¬ 
 duced. Therefore, although the elimi¬ 
 nation of free time may in an individual 
 case result in a higher rate being paid 
 
 for storage, it is the opinion of officials 
 of the Department of Agriculture and of 
 other experts in this field that the an¬ 
 nual cost of storing grain will remain 
 substantially the same as it has been for 
 the past three years. These parties 
 unanimously express the belief that the 
 change made in the schedule of rates is 
 not in fact an increase since the amounts 
 finally payable are dependent on the 
 period of time that the grain remains 
 in storage. It is estimated that this 
 period will average between 5 Vi and 9 
 months. 
 
 This regulation also permits elevators 
 and warehouses to charge private and 
 commercial users the same rates for 
 storage as those applicable to the Com¬ 
 modity Credit Corporation, if prior to the 
 issuance of the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation the operator had followed a 
 pattern of charging private and com¬ 
 mercial users the same rates established 
 under previous Uniform Grain Storage 
 Agreements. At the time the grain is 
 stored it is not known in many instances 
 whether the charges will be paid by the 
 Commodity Credit Corporation or by the 
 storer of the grain. This is true because 
 weeks or months may elapse before the 
 storer decides whether to redeem the 
 grain or to let title pass to the Com¬ 
 modity Credit Corporation. 
 
 Finally, this supplementary regulation 
 is made effective as of June 1, 1952, 
 since that is the earlier renewal date for 
 the services covered by the agreement. 
 
 In the formulation of this regulation 
 there have been consultations with rep¬ 
 resentatives of the Commodity Credit 
 
 Corporation and industry representa¬ 
 tives. and consideration has been given 
 to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Stabi¬ 
 lization the ceiling prices established by 
 this supplementary regulation are gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and are neces¬ 
 sary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Supplementary 
 Regulation 24 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 24 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 (CPR 34) 
 applies to sellers of linen supply services 
 located in the New York City metropoli¬ 
 tan area. It establishes dollars and 
 cents ceiling prices for sales to small 
 commer»"i F^rohaspro t>h» linen sup¬ 
 ply services as specified in Appendix a. 
 Previously, ceiling prices for sales of 
 these services had been established by 
 CPR 34, as amended. 
 
 While CPR 34 remains the regulation 
 applicable to most service industries and 
 to certain sales by sellers subject to this 
 supplementary regulation, this action is 
 taken in line with OPS policy of provid¬ 
 ing price controls better adapted to the 
 specific nature and needs of particular 
 service industries and to requirements 
 for more effective administration and 
 enforcement. 
 
 Generally, CPR 34 fixes a seller’s ceil¬ 
 ing price for sale of a service to a pur¬ 
 chaser at the highest price at which he 
 delivered the service or offered it for de¬ 
 livery to a purchaser of the same class 
 during the base period (December 19, 
 1950, to January 25, 1951, inclusive). A 
 purchaser of the same class is defined 
 in the regulation as a purchaser belong¬ 
 ing to a price class, i. e. group of pur¬ 
 chasers to whom it was the seller’s estab¬ 
 lished practice in the base period to sup¬ 
 ply the service at a particular price 
 different from that customarily charged 
 other groups of purchasers. This defi¬ 
 nition further provides that a single pur¬ 
 chaser constitutes a price class if that 
 purchaser was customarily treated dif¬ 
 ferently price-wise by the seller from all 
 other purchasers. Section 12 (c) gen¬ 
 erally provides that a seller who cus¬ 
 tomarily charged different purchasers 
 different prices without regard to stand¬ 
 ards but on an individually negotiated 
 basis must treat each purchaser as a 
 separate class of purchaser. Such a 
 
 seller was required to establish almost as 
 many ceiling prices as he had customers 
 in the base period. Section 12 (d) gen¬ 
 erally required this type of seller to com¬ 
 pute the ceiling price for sale of a service 
 to a new purchaser at the arithmetic 
 average of his ceiling prices to purchas¬ 
 ers in the same category as derived from 
 his base period experience. It also im¬ 
 posed upon this seller the requirement 
 that if he discontinued supplying a serv¬ 
 ice to an old purchaser within one month 
 before or after beginning to supply that 
 service to a new purchaser, he was re¬ 
 quired to sell to the new'purchaser at 
 a price no higher than the ceiling price 
 to the old purchaser he discontinued if 
 the purchaser had been supplied the 
 service during the base period at a price 
 below the seller’s average price to pur¬ 
 chasers in the same category. Sections 
 12 (c) and (d) were designed to meet 
 exceptional cases and as applied to the 
 service trades generally have not consti¬ 
 tuted a burden upon sellers in computing 
 ceiling prices. 
 
 Two central facts make departure 
 from the freeze technique of CPR 34 ap¬ 
 propriate and desirable in the case of 
 sales by linen suppliers located in the 
 New York cMtv metronnlitan area to 
 small commercial purchasers of linen 
 supply services. In the first place, the 
 dollars and cents pricing technique is 
 appropriate and desirable where a serv¬ 
 ice industry furnishes ji service which is 
 generally uniform in nature from seller 
 to seller. This technique is desirable 
 also from the standpoint of simplicity 
 and certainty of administration both for 
 sellers subject to the regulation and for 
 the OPS. The services covered by this 
 supplementary regulation are generally 
 uniform in their nature irrespective of 
 which linen supplier furnishes it. In 
 the second place, the peculiar nature of 
 the linen supply industry in the New 
 York City metropolitan area makes the 
 application of CPR 34 to their pricing 
 problems a difficult and burdensome 
 task. 
 
 There are approximately 80 linen sup¬ 
 ply firms in the New York City metro¬ 
 politan area. It has been estimated that 
 they furnish linen supply services to 
 approximately one hundred seventy-five 
 thousand purchasers with a dollar sales 
 volume of nearly $500,000 per week. 
 Most of the contracts for sale of these 
 services to smaller accounts have cus¬ 
 tomarily been negotiated in this indus¬ 
 try on an individual basis without regard 
 to objective standards such as quantity 
 of purchases or nature of the business or 
 location of the purchaser. The basic 
 reason for this type of sales pattern is 
 the highly competitive nature of the in¬ 
 dustry. A consequence of this industry 
 characteristic is the frequent movement 
 from seller to seller of individual small 
 
 purchasers. Another characteristic of 
 this industry is the frequent purchase by 
 one linen supplier from his competitor 
 of existing customer routes. The result 
 of this practice is to cause a movement 
 from seller to seller of whole groups of 
 purchasers. Generally the linen supply 
 trade considers as a small account the 
 restaurant which currently buys less 
 than $75 a week of linen supply services 
 or other buyers that currently buy less 
 than $20 per week of the linen supply 
 services. These smaller accounts include 
 roughly 150,000 buyers whose purchases 
 in dollars represent 50 percent of total 
 dollar volume of the New York City linen 
 suppliers. There are roughly 25,000 of 
 larger accounts which represent the 
 other 50 percent of dollar volume. 
 
 CPR 34, although well adapted for the 
 bulk of the services industries, does not 
 solve adequately the ceiling price prob¬ 
 lems of the linen supply industry in the 
 New York City metropolitan area. Each 
 seller in this industry must compute al¬ 
 most as many ceiling prices as the seller 
 had customers in the base period, which 
 often runs into the thousands. In ad¬ 
 dition, each seller is faced with the prob¬ 
 lem of determining ceiling prices for new 
 purchasprs acquired either through com¬ 
 petitively lower prices offered them or 
 through purchase of existing routes of 
 competitors. To compute these ceiling 
 prices the seller who customarily nego¬ 
 tiates individual prices must find the 
 arithmetic average of his ceiling prices 
 derived from his base period sales ex¬ 
 perience. If, at the time of beginning 
 to sell a new purchaser, the seller has 
 within one month discontinued selling 
 an old purchaser, he must make an in¬ 
 dividual analysis of his prices to the 
 discontinued purchaser in the base pe¬ 
 riod and may be required to use the 
 latter’s ceiling price instead of the arith¬ 
 metic average of all ceiling prices de¬ 
 rived from base period sales experience 
 as the ceiling price to the new purchaser. 
 Due to the multiplicity of customers 
 which each seller has the amount of 
 computations required becomes not only 
 a difficult operation but a time-consum¬ 
 ing one as well. 
 
 The dollars and cents technique 
 adopted by this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion will not only simplify greatly the 
 determination of ceiling prices by sellers 
 subject to this regulation but will elimi¬ 
 nate many of the difficulties of enforce¬ 
 ment previously encountered in the ad¬ 
 ministration of CPR 34. 
 
 This supplementary regulation applies 
 only to sales of linen supply services to 
 small commercial purchasers. Section 4 
 sets forth the technique for determining 
 which commercial purchasers are large 
 accounts and provides that all others 
 are small accounts. Generally, a com¬ 
 mercial purchaser is a large account if it 
 
85 Serv 32:2602 
 
 purchased for use in other than restau¬ 
 rant facilities a volume of twenty or more 
 dollars in the base calendar week or if 
 it purchased for use in restaurant facili¬ 
 ties a volume of seventy-five or more 
 dollars in that week. This line of de¬ 
 marcation is supported generally by the 
 practices of the New York City linen 
 supply trade. On the basis of ceiling 
 price adjustments previously granted 
 under section 20 (a) of CPR 34 to sellers 
 subject to this supplementary regulation 
 it appears that the ceiling prices estab¬ 
 lished by this regulation represent the 
 present ceiling prices under CPR 34 for 
 approximately half of the sales to small 
 commercial purchasers. Sales of these 
 services to large commercial purchasers 
 remain subject to CPR 34 due to the rela¬ 
 tively smaller number of purchasers in¬ 
 volved and to differences in treatment 
 of larger purchasers as recognized gen¬ 
 erally by the New York City linen supply 
 industry. The establishment of uniform 
 dollars and cents ceiling prices for large 
 commercial purchasers of linen supply 
 services from suppliers located in New 
 York City is not feasible at this time 
 because of very wide variations in the 
 prices charged them. 
 
 In determining the level of ceiling 
 prices established in this supplementary 
 regulation, as well as the need for this 
 regulation, the Director has considered 
 the availability of price relief to indi¬ 
 vidual members of this industry under 
 the provisions of section 20 (a) of CPR 
 34. This section permits a seller of serv¬ 
 ices to apply for an upward adjustment 
 of his ceiling prices for sales of his serv¬ 
 ices when his present ceiling prices im¬ 
 pair his normal earnings, for a repre¬ 
 sentative pre-Korean period, to such an 
 extent that the effective operation of his 
 service business is threatened. Among 
 the factors which the Director considers 
 in acting on an application under this 
 section are the seller’s post-Korean in¬ 
 creases and decreases in cost, the earn¬ 
 ings of the seller’s services’ business as 
 well as the earnings of his entire busi¬ 
 ness operation, change in sales volume, 
 and the nature and size of the seller’s 
 business. Based upon data submitted by 
 nine linen supply houses in the New York 
 City metropolitan area, the Director 
 found that each company was entitled 
 to upward adjustment of their ceiling 
 prices. The amount of the adjustment 
 of ceiling prices granted varied from 
 three to six percent. Study of other data 
 indicates that many of the other sellers 
 in this area would be entitled to price 
 relief under the provisions of section 20 
 
 (a) of CPR 34. The issuance of this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation on an area basis 
 should substantially ease the adminis¬ 
 trative burden and avoid the otherwise 
 necessary time lag involved in processing 
 many individual applications under this 
 section by sellers subject to this regula¬ 
 tion and will generally give these sellers 
 the price relief which, on the average, 
 they would be entitled under section 20 
 
 (a) of CPR 34. Accordingly, section 2 
 
 (b) of this supplementary regulation 
 provides that no seller subject to this 
 regulation can obtain an adjustment of 
 ceiling prices under section 20 (a) after 
 its effective date; and it also revokes any 
 
 adjustment orders previously issued by 
 OPS under this section with respect to 
 sales covered by this supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation. 
 
 The dollars and cents ceiling prices set 
 forth for linen supply'services listed in 
 Appendix A have been determined bas¬ 
 ically upon the customary past prices 
 for different sellers in the New York City 
 metropolitan area for the same services 
 rendered. In preference to weighted 
 average prices of the different sellers, 
 the modal price has been used as the 
 basis for determination of the ceiling 
 prices established by this supplementary 
 regulation. The modal price is that 
 price charged by these sellers to the 
 greatest number of purchasers for each 
 particular service item supplied. Al¬ 
 though this supplementary regulation is 
 not issued as an adjustment action, the 
 dollars and cents ceiling prices estab¬ 
 lished by it are on the average slightly 
 above the modal prices so as to take into 
 account fairly recent wage and other 
 cost increases of the New York City linen 
 supply industry and the impairment of 
 normal pre-Korean earnings resulting 
 from such cost increases. The ceiling 
 prices established will result in some 
 rollbacks of some service items for some 
 suppliers. At any uniform ceiling price 
 level established certain rollbacks are 
 necessary unless the criterion of the 
 highest price for a service item of a single 
 supplier were followed which, of course, 
 is not feasible for purposes of sound 
 price control by a dollars and cents tech¬ 
 nique. Excluded from the scope of this 
 linen supply services regulation are cer¬ 
 tain related services supplied to profes¬ 
 sional purchasers, linen supply services 
 furnished to seasonal purchasers, related 
 services purchased for home use, office 
 towel services and commercial flat work 
 services. These exclusions are designed 
 to limit the scope of linen supply services 
 covered by this regulation to a well de¬ 
 fined segment of linen supply services 
 in accordance with the industry pattern 
 of the linep supply trade in New York 
 City. 
 
 FINDINGS OF THE DIRECTOR OF PRICE 
 STABILIZATION 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the ceiling prices es¬ 
 tablished by this regulation are gener 
 ly fair and equitable and are necest 
 to effectuate the purpose of Title IV oi 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 As far as practical, in the formulation 
 of this regulation, the Director of Price 
 Stabilization has given due consideration 
 to the national effort to achieve maxi¬ 
 mum production in 1 \:. fV >erance of the 
 objectives of the Defense 1 oduction Act 
 of 1950, as amended, + -o the prices pre¬ 
 vailing during the peilod January 25 
 through February 24, 1951, as well as to 
 the level of prices prevailing just before 
 the issuance of this regulation; and to all 
 relevant factors of general applicability. 
 
 In formulating this regulation, there 
 has been consultation with industry 
 representatives, including trade associa¬ 
 tion representatives, and consideration 
 has been given to their recommenda¬ 
 tions. 
 
 Every effort has been made to conform 
 this regulation to business practices ex¬ 
 isting with respect to the linen supply 
 services covered in the regulation. In¬ 
 sofar as any provisions of this regula¬ 
 tion may operate to compel changes in 
 those business practices, such provisions 
 are found by the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization to be necessary to prevent cir¬ 
 cumvention or evasion of this regulation.

 Section 1. What this supplementary 
 regulation does. This supplementary 
 regulation applies to you if you are a 
 seller of linen supply services located in 
 the New York City area. It establishes 
 dollars and cents ceiling prices for your 
 sales of linen supply services listed in 
 Appendix A to all commercial purchas¬ 
 ers which are small accounts. Ceiling 
 prices for these sales were previously 
 established by Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 (CPR 34). The terms “linen supply 
 serviooc”, “New Yorir city and 
 
 “commercial purchasers’’ are defined in 
 section 8 of this regulation. Section 4 
 of this regulation tells you how to deter¬ 
 mine whether a commercial purchaser 
 is a small or a large account. This regu¬ 
 lation does not apply to sales of linen 
 supply services to commercial purchas¬ 
 ers which are large accounts, to profes¬ 
 sional or seasonal purchasers, or to pur¬ 
 chasers for home use, as the foregoing 
 terms are defined in section 8 of this 
 regulation. This regulation also does 
 not apply to sales of office towel or 
 commercial flatwork services as these 
 terms are defined in section 8 of this 
 regulation. 
 
 Sec. 2. Relationship of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34. (a) Except to the extent they 
 
 are modified by or are inconsistent with 
 the provisions of this supplementary 
 regulation, all provisions of CPR 34, as 
 amended, shall continue to apply to you. 
 
 (b) You may not, after the effective 
 date of this supplementary regulation, 
 obtain an adjustment of ceiling prices 
 under paragraphs (a) (1) and (2), (b), 
 or (c) of section 20 of CPR 34 for your 
 sales of linen supply services listed in 
 Appendix A to commercial purchasers 
 which are small accounts. Any order 
 previously issued by the Office of Price 
 Stabilization under these paragraphs and 
 applicable to you is hereby revoked, upon 
 the effective date of this regulation, as 
 to your sales of linen supply services 
 listed in Appendix A to commercial pur¬ 
 chasers which are small accounts. 
 
 (c) The requirement contained in sec¬ 
 tion 18 (c) of CPR 34, as amended, with 
 
85 Serv 32:2603 
 
 respect to filing of supplemental state¬ 
 ments of ceiling prices does not apply, 
 as of the effective date of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, to your sales of linen 
 supply services listed in Appendix A to 
 commercial purchasers which are small 
 accounts. 
 
 Sec. 3. Ceiling prices. If you sell a 
 linen supply service listed in Appendix A 
 from an establishment located in the 
 New York City Area, your ceiling price 
 for a sale of that service to any commer¬ 
 cial purchaser which is a small account 
 as determined under section 4 of this 
 regulation, shall be the price specified 
 for that service in Appendix A. If you 
 sell that service to a commercial pur¬ 
 chaser which is a large account, your 
 ceiling price for a sale of that service 
 is the one previously established under 
 the provisions of CPR 34, as amended. 
 
 Sec. 4. How to determine whether a 
 commercial purchaser is a small or a 
 large account, (a) (1) A commercial 
 purchaser of linen supply services listed 
 in Appendix A is a large account if it 
 purchased for use in other than restau¬ 
 rant facilities a volume of twenty or 
 more dollars of these services during the 
 period specified in paragraph (b) of this 
 section, or if it purchased for use in res¬ 
 taurant facilities, as defined in section 8 
 of this regulation, a volume of seventy- 
 five or more dollars of these services 
 during the period specified in paragraph 
 (b) of this section, or if it is redesignated 
 as a large account by order of the Direc¬ 
 tor of the New York Regional Office of 
 the Office of Price Stabilization in ac¬ 
 cordance with the provisions of section 5 
 of this regulation. All other commercial 
 purchasers of these services are deemed 
 to be small accounts. 
 
 (2) If a commercial purchaser pur¬ 
 chased linen supply services for use in 
 both restaurant facilities and other fa¬ 
 cilities during the period specified in 
 paragraph (b) of this section, that buyer 
 is a large account for all of those pur¬ 
 chases if it would constitute a large ac¬ 
 count based upon its purchases for either 
 type of facilities as described in subpara¬ 
 graph (1) of this paragraph. 
 
 (3) If a commercial purchaser oper¬ 
 ates more than one establishment, all of 
 these establishments for which linen 
 supply services listed in Appendix A were 
 purchased during the period specified in 
 paragraph (b) of this section shall, for 
 the purposes of this supplementary regu¬ 
 lation, be considered a single purchaser 
 for the purpose of determining whether 
 the commercial purchaser is a large ac¬ 
 count. 
 
 (b) For the purpose of making the 
 status determination required in para¬ 
 graph (a) of this section, you must se¬ 
 lect whichever of the following periods is 
 applicable to you: the base week from 
 Monday, July 28, 1952, to Sunday, Au¬ 
 gust 3, 1952, inclusive, or of any seven 
 consecutive days the first of which falls 
 
 within that week if you customarily 
 maintain your weekly records on the 
 latter basis. If, however, a commer¬ 
 cial purchaser did not purchase linen 
 supply services listed in Appendix A from 
 any seller during the base week appli¬ 
 cable to you, the determination of 
 whether that purchaser is a large ac¬ 
 count must be based upon its volume of 
 these purchases during the first com¬ 
 parable full week, following the base 
 week, in which you did supply these 
 services to that purchaser. Until you 
 have so determined the status of such a 
 purchaser but in no event for more than 
 14 days after you first furnish linen sup¬ 
 ply services to such purchaser, your ceil¬ 
 ing prices to such purchaser shall be 
 those established by this supplementary 
 regulation. After such time, your ceil¬ 
 ing prices to that purchaser must be de¬ 
 termined under either this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation or CPR 34, whichever is 
 applicable. 
 
 (c) If a commercial purchaser did not 
 purchase linen supply services listed in 
 Appendix A from you during the base 
 week specified under paragraph (b) of 
 this section but did purchase these serv¬ 
 ices during that period from another 
 seller subject to this supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation, you must determine from these 
 purchases whether that purchaser is a 
 large account. You may rely upon the 
 statements of the purchaser concerning 
 the dollar volume of his purchases of 
 linen supply services from others during 
 the base week. 
 
 Sec. 5. Application for redesignation 
 of nature of account, (a) A seller sub¬ 
 ject to this supplementary regulation 
 must, or a purchaser of linen supply 
 services listed in Appendix A from that 
 seller may apply in writing to the Direc¬ 
 tor of the New York Regional Office of 
 the Office of Price Stabilization for an 
 order redesignating that purchaser as a 
 large account or as a small account, 
 whichever is applicable, if the applicant 
 knows and can demonstrate that the 
 purchaser has changed, as described in 
 paragraph (b) of this section, the volume 
 of his purchases of the linen supply serv¬ 
 ices listed in Appendix A. The appli¬ 
 cant must give in his application the in¬ 
 formation specified in paragraph (c) of 
 this section. If the Director finds that 
 the facts warrant a redesignation of the 
 purchaser, either as a large account or as 
 a small account, whichever is applicable, 
 he will issue an order in writing estab¬ 
 lishing the new designation for the pur¬ 
 chaser. Until the Director notifies an 
 applicant in writing of the redesignation 
 of a purchaser as a large account or as a 
 small account, whichever is applicable, 
 a seller subject to this regulation may not 
 charge that purchaser prices higher than 
 the ceiling prices previously applicable 
 for sales of the linen supply services 
 listed in Appendix A to that purchaser. 
 
 (b) Either of the persons referred to 
 in paragraph (a) of this section should 
 
 apply for an order redesignating the 
 status of a purchaser from a seller sub¬ 
 ject to this regulation under the follow¬ 
 ing circumstances: 
 
 (1) When that purchaser is presently 
 classified as a small account under sec¬ 
 tion 4 of this regulation and his pur¬ 
 chases of linen supply services listed in 
 Appendix A during any four consecutive 
 weeks would for each of these weeks con¬ 
 stitute that purchaser a large account 
 according to the standards set forth in 
 section 4 of this regulation; or 
 
 (2) When that purchaser is presently 
 classified as a large account under sec¬ 
 tion 4 of this regulation and his pur¬ 
 chases of linen supply services listed in 
 Appendix A during any four consecutive 
 weeks would not for each of those weeks 
 constitute that purchaser a large ac¬ 
 count according to the standards set 
 forth in section 4 of this regulation. 
 
 (c) An application under this section 
 must include the following information: 
 
 (1) Name and address of the seller 
 and the purchaser; 
 
 (2) The period which constitutes the 
 seller’s base week, the dollar amount of 
 the purchaser’s purchases of linen sup¬ 
 ply services during that week, and the 
 type of facilities for which the purchases 
 were made, together with the present 
 status of that purchaser (i. e. whether 
 it is a large or a small account) if the 
 status has changed since the base week; 
 
 (3) The four consecutive weeks upon 
 which the applicant relies as the basis 
 for seeking a redetermination of status 
 of that purchaser; 
 
 (4) The dollar volume of purchases of 
 linen supply services listed in Appendix 
 A by that purchaser from the seller for 
 each week referred to in subparagraph 
 3 of this paragraph. 
 
 Sec. 6. Invoices. In complying with 
 the provisions of section 17 of CPR 34, 
 as amended, you must supply sales slips, 
 receipts, or invoices to purchasers which 
 describe linen supply services furnished 
 to such purchasers in the terms as used 
 to describe those services in Appendix A 
 of this supplementary regulation. 
 
 Sec. 7. Interpretations. If you want 
 an official interpretation of this regula¬ 
 tion, you should write to the Regional 
 Counsel of the New York Regional Office 
 of the Office of Price Stabilization. Any 
 action taken by you in reliance upon and 
 in conformity with a written official in¬ 
 terpretation will constitute action in 
 good faith pursuant to this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation. Further information on 
 obtaining official interpretations is con¬ 
 tained in Price Procedural Regulation 1, 
 revised.

 CLARIFICATION 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950. as amended, Executive Order 
 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic Sta¬ 
 bilization Agency General Order No. 2 
 (16 F. R. 738), this Amendment 1 to 
 Supplementary Regulation 24 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 1 to Supplementary 
 Regulation 24 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 clarifies the coverage of this 
 supplementary regulation to indicate 
 clearly that it applies only when both 
 the buyer and the seller of linen supply 
 services are located in the New York City 
 Area (the counties of New York, Kings, 
 Queens, Bronx, Richmond, Nassau, Suf¬ 
 folk and Westchester in New York 
 State). If either the buyer or seller is 
 located outside of the New York City 
 Area, the transaction continues to fall 
 within the provisions of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. 
 
 If a buyer or seller has several places 
 of business, some of which are within the 
 New York City Area, the ceiling prices 
 established by this supplementary regu¬ 
 lation apply to sales or purchases made 
 to and by those places of business only. 
 Thus, there are two criteria for the ap¬ 
 plicability of this Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 24: the location of buyer and sell¬ 
 er, and the volume of linen supply serv¬ 
 ices purchased by the buyer. 
 
 In view of the clarifying nature of this 
 amendment, special circumstances have 
 rendered consultation with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, including trade association 
 representatives, impracticable. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 24 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 is amended in 
 the following respects: 
 
 1. The second sentence of section 1 is 
 amended by inserting after the word 
 “purchasers” the phrase “located in the 
 New York City Area” so that the new 
 sentence reads as follows: “It establishes 
 dollars and cents ceiling prices for your 
 sales of linen supply services listed in 
 Appendix A to all commercial purchasers 
 located in the New York City Area which 
 are small accounts.” 
 
 2. Subparagraph (a) (3) of section 4 
 is amended by inserting after the word 
 “establishments” the phrase “located in 
 the New York City Area” so that the new 
 subparagraph reads as follows: 
 
 (3) If a commercial purchaser oper¬ 
 ates more than one establishment, all of 
 these establishments located in the New 
 York City Area for which linen supply 
 services listed in Appendix A were pur¬ 
 
 chases during the period specified in 
 paragraph (b) of this section shall, for 
 the purposes of this supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation, be considered a single purchaser 
 for the purpose of determining whether 
 the commercial purchaser is a large 
 account. 
 
 3. Paragraph (c) of section 5 is 
 amended by adding at the beginning 
 thereof the following new subparagraph: 
 
 (5) This paragraph sets forth the in¬ 
 formation that your application must 
 contain. If the purchaser operates more 
 than one establishment, all of such es¬ 
 tablishments located in the New York 
 City Area shall be considered a single 
 purchaser. Data which relates to any 
 establishments outside of the New York 
 City Area operated by the purchaser can¬ 
 not be used as a basis for redesignation 
 and therefore the information submitted 
 under this section must be limited to 
 establishments located in the New York 
 City Area. 
 
 4. Paragraph (b) of section 8 is 
 amended by adding at the end thereof 
 the following new sentence: “For the 
 purposes of this regulation the term 
 ‘commercial purchaser’ refers only to

 statement of considerations 
 
 This Amendment 2 to Supplementary 
 Regulation 24 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 
 34 extends the coverage of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation so as to include linen 
 service suppliers located in the Counties 
 of Bergen, Passaic, Hudson, Essex, Union, 
 Middlesex and Mercer in the State of 
 New Jersey. The inclusion of these linen 
 suppliers in the same regulation with 
 New York linen supply service sellers has 
 ample precedent in action taken by OP A. 
 Furthermore, these counties comprise 
 the Newark, New Jersey area and his¬ 
 torically have been considered as a part 
 of the Metropolitan New York area. 
 
 The statement of considerations con¬ 
 tained in the formulation of Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 24 is equally appli¬ 
 cable to the sellers affected by this 
 amendment and i$ incorporated herein 
 by reference. 
 
 In view of the clarifying nature of this 
 amendment, special circumstances have 
 rendered consultation with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, including trade association 
 representatives, impracticable.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive 
 Order 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), and Eco¬ 
 nomic Stabilization Agency General 
 Order No. 2 < 16 F. R. 738), this Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 25 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 25 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in ceiling prices for certain 
 power laundry services and dry clean¬ 
 ing services supplied by power laundries 
 located in the City of Philadelphia, 
 Pennsylvania. An increase in ceiling 
 prices is also given to independent route- 
 men and stores, known in the laundry 
 and dry cleaning industry as “bob- 
 tailers”, in order that customary dif¬ 
 ferentials between classes of power 
 laundry service purchasers may be main¬ 
 tained. This supplementary regulation 
 does not permit the increase to be ap¬ 
 plied to the diaper supply and linen sup¬ 
 ply services of such laundries. 
 
 A study of the operating costs and 
 profit margins of a representative num¬ 
 ber of the power laundries in the City of 
 Philadelphia, which provide 90 percent 
 of the total sales of services furnished by 
 these laundries amounting to an esti¬ 
 mated $16,300,000 in 1951, reveals that 
 increased labor and material costs have 
 impaired the pre-Korean earnings of 
 such laundries. In addition, new wage 
 contracts entered into with labor unions 
 representing the employees of these 
 laundries resulted in substantial wage 
 increases to all classes of workers. These 
 wage increases are all within the formula 
 of Wage Stabilization Board regula¬ 
 tions or have received Wage Stabiliza¬ 
 tion Board approval, with the result that 
 earnings of these laundries will be 
 further impaired. The price increase 
 granted herein has been determined to 
 be the minimum necessary to maintain 
 the financial stability of these laundries 
 in order to assure a continued supply of 
 these essential services. The uniform 
 increase' has been determined in accord¬ 
 ance with the standards for individual 
 adjustments under section 20 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. 
 
 Under- the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, ceiling prices of 
 such power laundries and bobtail sellers 
 may be increased by 9 percent, such ad¬ 
 
 justment to be applied to the total 
 amount of each invoice rendered to the 
 customer and identified as the “OPS 
 permitted price increase." If this 
 method is used to apply the amount of 
 the increase, the seller need not make 
 the supplementary filing required by sec¬ 
 tion 18 (c) of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34. At the option of the individual 
 laundry and bobtailer, however, the flat 
 ceiling price for each article may be 
 increased by 9 percent. Adjusted flat 
 ceiling prices must, within ten days after 
 their determination, be filed with the ap¬ 
 propriate Office of Price Stabilization 
 district office as required by section 18 
 as amended of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34. 
 
 In the future, power laundries and 
 bobtailers subject to this supplementary 
 regulation may not obtain an adjust¬ 
 ment of their ceiling prices for power 
 laundry and dry cleaning services under 
 section 20 of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34. Any adjustment of ceiling prices 
 under section 20 of Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 34 heretofore granted is auto¬ 
 matically revoked as of the effective date 
 of this supplementary regulation. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, the Director has con¬ 
 sulted insofar as practicable with rep¬ 
 resentative suppliers of these services, 
 including representatives of trade asso¬ 
 ciations, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization the increases permitted by this 
 supplementary regulation are necessary 
 to effectuate the purposes of Title IV of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to increase 
 their ceiling prices for power laundry

 ices by 9 percent. This supplementary

 Price Regulation 34, as amended, except 
 as affected by the provisions of this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation, shall remain in

 Sec. 3. Adjustment of ceiling prices. 
 If you are subject to this supplementary 
 regulation, you may, to the extent you 
 sell power laundry and dry cleaning 
 services supplied by power laundries 
 located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 
 increase your ceiling prices by 9 percent 
 for power laundry and dry cleaning 
 services, except diaper supply and linen 
 supply services, thus supplied by either 
 of the following methods: 
 
 (a) You may apply such an adjust¬ 
 ment to the total amount of each invoice 
 rendered to the customer, provided you 
 shall clearly write or stamp on each such 
 invoice the words “OPS permitted price 
 increase." If you use this method of ap¬ 
 plying your price increase, you need not 
 make the supplementary filing required 
 by section 18 (c) of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34. 
 
 (b) You may, in lieu of the method 
 provided in paragraph (a) of this sec¬ 
 tion, increase by 9 percent the ceiling 
 prices of each power laundry and dry 
 cleaning service article, except a diaper 
 supply and linen supply service article. 
 Within ten days after your prices are 
 established under this paragraph you 
 must prepare and file with your district 
 office of the Office of Price Stabilization 
 a supplemental statement as required 
 under section 18 as amended of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. You may not es¬ 
 tablish prices under paragraph (a) of 
 this section once you have elected to es¬ 
 tablish prices under this paragraph. 
 
 (c) If the price increase computed in 
 paragraphs (a) or <b) of this section re¬ 
 sults in a fraction of a cent, the price 
 increase must be decreased to the next 
 lower cent if the fractional cent is less 
 than one-half cent, or may be increased 
 to the next higher cent if the fraction is 
 one-half cent or more. 
 
 Sec. 4. Application of section 20 of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. No seller 
 subject to this supplementary regulation 
 may, after the effective date of this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation, apply for an ad¬ 
 justment of any of his ceiling prices for 
 power laundry and dry cleaning services 
 except diaper supply and linen supply 
 services under section 20 of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34, as amended. All orders 
 establishing ceiling prices tor any power 
 laundry subject to this supplementary 
 regulation issued under either section 20 
 (a), (b), or <c> of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 are hereby revoked, upon the 
 effective date of this regulation. 
 
85 Serv 32:2702 
 
 Sec. 5. Definitions, (a) <1) “Power 
 laundry” or "power laundries" as used 
 In this regulation are laundries which 
 in the laundry trade are customarily 
 known and designated as such, and do 
 not include hand laundries, launderettes 
 or laundries using home-type laundry 
 equipment to supply laundry services. 
 
 (2) “Bobtail sellers” as used in this 
 regulation means a separate class of 
 purchaser of power laundry and dry 
 
 cleaning services, consisting of inde¬ 
 pendent route men and stores, not em¬ 
 ployed or owned by a power laundry, 
 which purchases such power laundry 
 and dry cleaning services from a power 
 laundry at a discount and resells these 
 services to its own customers at the same 
 prices that the power laundry itself 
 would have charged the same class of 
 purchaser for the same services. Bob- 
 tail sellers do not ordinarily engage in 
 processing operations.

 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 25 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34, issued Novem¬ 
 ber 10, 1952 permitted an increase in 
 ceiling prices for certain power laundry 
 services and dry cleaning services sup¬ 
 plied by power laundries located in 
 the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 
 An increase in ceiling prices was 
 also given to independent routemen and 
 stores, known in the laundry and dry 
 cleaning industry as “bobtailers”, in 
 order that customary differentials be¬ 
 tween classes of power laundry service 
 purchasers might be maintained. That 
 supplementary regulation did not permit 
 the increase to be applied to the diaper 
 supply and linen supply services of such 
 
 laundries. This amendment permits the 
 same increase in ceiling prices for ad¬ 
 ditional power laundries located in cer¬ 
 tain other areas close to Philadelphia 
 namely, Camden, Gloucester, and Bur¬ 
 lington Counties, New Jersey and the 
 City of Hammonton in Atlantic County, 
 New Jersey. 
 
 A study of the operating costs and 
 profit margins of a representative num¬ 
 ber of the power laundries in Camden, 
 Gloucester, and Burlington Counties, 
 New Jersey and the City of Hammonton 
 in Atlantic County, New Jersey which 
 provide 90 percent of the total sales of 
 services furnished by these laundries 
 amounting to an estimated $2,350,000 
 in 1951, reveals that increased labor and 
 material costs have impaired the pre- 
 Korean earnings of such laundries. In 
 addition, new wage contracts entered 
 into with labor unions representing the 
 employees of these laundries resulted in 
 substantial wage increases. These wage 
 increases are all within the formula of 
 Wage Stabilization Board regulations or 
 have received Wage Stabilization Board 
 approval, with the result that earnings 
 of these laundries will be further im¬ 
 paired. The price increase granted 
 herein has been determined to be the 
 minimum necessary to maintain the fi¬ 
 nancial stability of these laundries in 
 order to assure a continued supply of 
 these essential services. The uniform in¬ 
 crease has been determined in accord¬ 
 ance with the standards for individual 
 adjustments under Section 20 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. 
 
 All other considerations which were 
 set forth in the Statement of Consid¬ 
 
 erations to Supplementary Regulation 
 25 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 are 
 equally applicable to the power laun¬ 
 dries located in the areas included in 
 this amendment. 
 
 In the formulation of this amend¬ 
 ment, the Director has consulted inso¬ 
 far as practicable with representative 
 suppliers of these services, including rep¬ 
 resentatives of trade associations, and 
 consideration has been given to their 
 recommendations. In the judgment of 
 the Director of Price Stabilization the 
 increases permitted by this amendment 
 are necessary to effectuate the purposes 
 of Title IV of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 25 to Ceil¬

 the following respects:

 STATEMENT OE CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 25 to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34. issued Novem¬ 
 ber 10. 1952 permitted an increase in 
 ceiling prices for certain power laundry- 
 services and dry cleaning services sup¬ 
 plied by power laundries located in the 
 City it Philadelphia. Pennsylvania. An 
 increase in ceiling prices was also given 
 to independent routemen and stores, 
 known in the laundry and dry cleaning 
 industry as "bobtailers". in oraer that 
 customary differentials between classes 
 of power laundry service purchasers 
 might "ce maintained. That supple¬ 
 mentary regulation did net permit the 
 increase to ue applied to the diaper sup¬ 
 ply and linen supply services of such 
 
 laundries. Amendment 1 to Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 25. effective De¬ 
 cember 18. 1952. extended the coverage 
 of that supplementary regulation to in¬ 
 clude power laundries located in cer¬ 
 tain other areas close to Philadelphia 
 namely, Camden. Gloucester, and Bur¬ 
 lington Counties. New Jersey and the 
 City of Hammonton in Atlantic County. 
 New Jersey. This amendment permits 
 the same 9 percent increase in ceiling 
 prices for additional power laundries 
 located in Delaware County. Pennsyl¬ 
 vania (except the City of Ardmore'. 
 These power laundries are in a competi¬ 
 tive position with others previously cov¬ 
 ered by Supplementary Regulation 25. 
 
 A study of tne operating costs and 
 profit margins of these power laundries 
 which provide 83 percent of the total 
 sales of services furnished by these laun¬ 
 dries amounting to an estimated SI,150.- 
 000 reveals that increased labor and ma¬ 
 terial costs have impaired the pre-Ko¬ 
 rean earnings of such laundries. In ad¬ 
 dition, substantia! wage increases with¬ 
 in the formula of Wage Stabilization 
 Board regulations have resulted in fur¬ 
 ther impairment of earnings. The price 
 increase granted herein has been deter¬ 
 mined to be tne minimum necessary to 
 maintain tne financial staoility of these 
 laundries in oraer to assuie a continued 
 supply of these essential services. The 
 uniform increase has been determined 
 in accoraance with the standards for in¬ 
 dividual adjustments uncer Section 20 of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 Ah other considerations which were 
 set forth in the Statement of Considera¬ 
 
 tions to Supplementary Regulation 25 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 are equally 
 applicable to the power laundries located 
 in the areas included in this amend¬ 
 ment. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment, 
 the Director has consulted insofar as 
 practicable with representative suppliers 
 of these services, including representa¬ 
 tives of trade associations, and consid¬ 
 eration has been given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. In the judgment of the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization th® increases 
 permitted by this amendment are nec¬ 
 essary to effectuate the purposes of 
 Title IV of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950. as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Supplementary Regulation 25 to Ceil¬

 follows: 
 
 1. Insert after the w.ord "Philadel¬

 REPAIR SERVICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 adapts ceil¬ 
 ing price regulation of automotive and 
 farm equipment repair services more 
 closely to the operation of the automo¬ 
 tive and farm equipment industry. 
 
 Mapy sellers of automotive and farm 
 equipment repair services also sell the 
 type of commodities they service. There 
 is no uniformity within the industry, 
 however, in allocating overhead costs be¬ 
 tween the services portion and the com¬ 
 modity portion of such businesses. 
 Some manufacturers of these commodi¬ 
 ties recommend to thfeir dealers a 
 method of allocating most overhead 
 costs, but these recommended methods 
 differ from one manufacturer to an¬ 
 other, and the dealers of any particular 
 manufacturer may differ among them¬ 
 selves in their application of the recom¬ 
 mended method. These differences in 
 methods of allocation cause differences 
 in reported earnings, which would be 
 nearly the same if the same method of 
 allocation had been used. The Direc¬ 
 tor’s experience in processing applica¬ 
 tions under section 20 (a) of CPR 34 is 
 that where the seller is chiefly a seller 
 of automotive and farm equipment, 
 rather than primarily a seller of repair 
 services on such commodities, the dif¬ 
 ferences in methods of allocation cause 
 distortions in the adjustments granted, 
 and that a modification of section 20 (a), 
 as applied to such sellers, is therefore 
 required. This supplementary regula¬ 
 tion provides such a modification. 
 
 Since there is no basis uniformly used 
 throughout the automotive and farm 
 equipment industry for determining the 
 earnings of dealers from the services por¬ 
 tion of their businesses, this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation employs, as a method 
 of determining hardship in respect of 
 their sales of automotive and farm equip¬ 
 ment repair services, a ratio of labor 
 sales to labor costs. This method utilizes 
 the same category of labor costs and in¬ 
 come from labor sales for all such dealers 
 
 for all periods without reference to the 
 commodity aspects of their businesses. 
 In general this supplementary regulation 
 employs this ratio of labor sales and 
 labor costs as a basis on which it will 
 grant adjustment of these service prices 
 when the. dollar difference between the 
 labor sales and labor cost, for the same 
 volume, has declined but in determining 
 the amount of adjustment, if any, that 
 will be granted, OPS will consider all of 
 the factors mentioned in section 20 (a) 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 which re¬ 
 mains applicable to these service sellers 
 except insofar as it is inconsistent with 
 this supplementary regulation. The ad¬ 
 justed ceiling prices of sellers whose rep¬ 
 resentative period ends later than June 
 30, 1951, may not exceed the prevailing 
 level of prices. 
 
 Those sellers who were not in business 
 before January 26,1951 and have no rep¬ 
 resentative experience that could serve 
 as a basis of adjusting their ceiling prices, 
 but who have been in business at least 
 three months are given the prevailing 
 level of prices. Generally such sellers 
 will be new sellers who have already been 
 given approximately this level of prices 
 as their ceiling prices for their services, 
 and it is not anticipated that this pro¬ 
 vision of this supplementary regulation 
 will have wide application. 
 
 This supplementary regulation also 
 authorizes the service sellers to whom it 
 applies to redetermine their ceiling prices 
 for factory warranty services, on the 
 automotive or farm equipment they sell, 
 to enable them to recover their approxi¬ 
 mate direct labor costs in supplying these 
 services. Traditionally these services 
 have been furnished on the basis of the 
 direct labor costs involved in supplying 
 them and it is, therefore, considered 
 equitable to provide that these sellers 
 shall be authorized to charge a ceiling 
 price that will enable them to continue 
 to recover these costs. 
 
 This supplementary regulation pro¬ 
 vides a new form of application for ad¬ 
 justment and provides that such appli¬ 
 cations must, in all cases, be filed in the 
 OPS district offices. 
 
 In the formulation of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, there has been con¬ 
 sultation with industry representatives 
 including trade association representa¬ 
 tives, to the extent practicable, and con¬ 
 sideration has been given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. In the judgment of the 
 Director of Price Stabilization the pro¬ 
 visions of this supplementary regulation 
 are generally fair and equitable and are 
 necessary to effectuate the purposes of 
 Title IV of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended.

 Section 1. What this supplementary 
 regulation does. This supplementary 
 regulation modifies the method of ad¬ 
 justing the ceiling prices of certain sell¬ 
 ers for automotive and farm equipment 
 repair services under section 20 (a) of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. It specifies 
 a new form to be used in applying fdr 
 such adjustments and now in all cases 
 requires that such applications must be 
 filed in the OPS district offices. It also 
 provides a means whereby the sellers to 
 whom it applies may redetermine their 
 ceiling prices for factory warranty 
 services. 
 
 Sec. 2. Relationship to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. Except for the changes 
 made by this supplementary regulation, 
 all provisions of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34, as amended, including section 20 (a) 
 remain in effect with respect to sellers 
 subject to this supplementary regulation. 
 
 Sec. 3. Applicability. This supple¬ 
 mentary regulation applies to sellers of 
 automotive and farm equipment repair 
 services who also sell automotive or farm 
 equipment, and whose dollar volume of 
 customers labor sales (see section 7) was 
 less than 50 percent of the total dollar 
 volume of sales of their entire business 
 during a representative period (see sec¬ 
 tion 7), or if they were not in business 
 before January 26, 1951, and have no 
 representative period but have been in 
 business more than three months, dur¬ 
 ing the entire time they have been in 
 business. 
 
 Sec. 4. Ceiling price adjustments, (a) 
 If this supplementary regulation applies 
 to you, OPS will adjust your ceiling 
 prices for automotive and farm equip¬ 
 ment repair services upon a showing that 
 they impair, to such an extent as to 
 threaten the effective operation of your 
 service business, your gross profit on 
 customers labor sales (see section 7) in 
 a representative period. In general, the 
 amount of adjustment granted will be 
 the amount necessary to give you the 
 same dollar gross profit on customers 
 labor sales as you had on the same vol¬ 
 ume of such sales in your representative 
 period. In determining, however, the 
 extent of the adjustment, if any, that 
 will be granted to you, OPS will consider 
 the factors specified in section 20 (a) of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as amended, 
 insofar as they are applicable to your 
 service business. If your representative 
 
85 Sery 32:2802 
 
 period ends later than June 30, 1951, 
 your adjusted ceiling prices may not ex¬ 
 ceed the prevailing level of ceiling prices 
 for the same services sold by the most 
 similar class of sellers. 
 
 (1) If you were not in business before 
 January 26,1951, and have no represent¬ 
 ative period (see section 7), but have 
 been in business more than three months, 
 OPS will adjust your ceiling prices for 
 automotive and farm equipment repair 
 services to the prevailing level of ceiling 
 prices for the same services sold by the 
 most similar class of sellers. 
 
 (b) You must file your application for 
 adjustment on OPS Public Form No. 154 
 in the OPS District Office for the OPS 
 district in which your place of business 
 is located. If you render services at 
 more than one place of business, each 
 place of business is a separate seller un¬ 
 der this supplementary regulation and 
 a separate application must be filed for 
 each location at which you want your 
 ceiling prices adjusted. In addition to 
 the information required of you by OPS 
 Public Form No. 154, OPS may request 
 such additional information as may be 
 found necessary in considering your ap¬ 
 plication. If paragraph (a) (1) applies 
 to you, you must file your application as 
 requested in this paragraph. 
 
 (c) If prior to November 12, 1952, you 
 have filed an application for adjustment 
 of your ceiling prices for automotive or 
 farm equipment repair services on OPS 
 Public Form No. 43, revised, and an ad¬ 
 justment order has not been issued to 
 you prior to December 2, 1952, you must 
 reapply under this supplementary regu¬ 
 lation on OPS Public Form No. 154. 
 
 Sec. 5. Redetermination of your ceil¬ 
 ing prices for factory warranty services. 
 If you compute your ceiling prices for 
 factory warranty services rendered on 
 automotive or farm equipment, under 
 CPR 34, as amended, by multiplying the 
 actual time required to perform the 
 work, or a time allowance specified in a 
 flat rate manual, by a rate which is be¬ 
 low the wage rate you pay your regular 
 productive mechanics, you may use the 
 current wage rate to redetermine your 
 ceiling prices for such services. If you 
 redetermine your ceiling prices for fac¬ 
 tory warranty services under this section 
 of this supplementary regulation, you 
 must file a statement to that effect, in¬ 
 cluding the wage rate you use in mak¬ 
 ing the computation, with your OPS 
 
 District Office before using your in¬ 
 creased prices. 
 
 Sec. 6. Interpretations. If you want 
 an official Interpretation of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation or of OPS Public 
 Form No. 154, you should write to the 
 District Counsel of your OPS District 
 Office. Any action taken by you in re¬ 
 liance upon and in conformity with a 
 written official interpretation will con¬ 
 stitute action in good faith pursuant to 
 this supplementary regulation. Further 
 information on obtaining official inter¬ 
 pretations is contained in Price Pro¬ 
 cedural Regulation 1, as revised.

 COUNTY, WISCONSIN 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161. and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in ceiling prices for dry clean¬ 
 ing services furnished at wholesale and 
 retail by sellers located in Milwaukee 
 County, Wisconsin. A previous ceiling 
 price increase granted to power laun¬ 
 dries in Milwaukee County did not in¬ 
 clude dry cleaning services. 
 
 An OPS study of the operating costs 
 and profit margins of 25 firms doing ap¬ 
 proximately 90 percent of both the 
 wholesale and retail dry cleaning busi¬ 
 ness in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, 
 which amounted to $6,000,000 in 1951, 
 reveals that increased labor and mate¬ 
 rial costs incurred since the Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 base period (December 19, 
 1950, to January 25, 1951, inclusive) have 
 impaired the pre-Korean earnings of 
 such dry cleaning service sellers. 
 
 The action taken herein gives effect to 
 the standards for individual price ad¬ 
 justment contained in section 20 (a) of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 and permits 
 the minimum increase necessary to 
 maintain the financial stability of these 
 dry cleaning service sellers and assure 
 continued supply of these essential 
 services. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 34 ceiling prices of sellers of dry 
 cleaning services may be increased by a 
 stated amount. Since OPS has the pre¬ 
 vious price filings of these sellers in its 
 possession, the supplementary filing re¬ 
 quired by section 18 (c) of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is not considered to be 
 necessary and is therefore excused, 
 thereby easing the administrative burden 
 
 of these service sellers and of the OPS. 
 
 In the future, sellers subject to this 
 supplementary regulation may not ob¬ 
 tain an adjustment of their ceiling prices 
 for dry cleaning services at wholesale 
 and retail under section 20 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. Any adjustment of 
 ceiling prices under section 20 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 heretofore granted is 
 automatically revoked as of the effective 
 date of this supplementary regulation. 
 
 In the formulation of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, the Director has 
 consulted insofar as practicable with 
 representative suppliers of these serv¬ 
 ices, including representatives of trade 
 associations, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization the increases permitted by 
 this supplementary regulation are neces¬ 
 sary to effectuate the purposes of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended.

 tional or governmental users. 
 
 (3) “Retail” refers to the sale of dry 
 cleaning services directly to the ultimate 
 consumer except commercial, industrial, 
 institutional and governmental users.

 ILLINOIS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive 
 Order 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 28 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 28 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in ceiling prices for dry clean¬ 
 ing services furnished at wholesale and 
 retail by sellers located in Cook County, 
 Illinois. A previous ceiling price in¬ 
 crease granted to power laundries in 
 Cook County did not include dry clean¬ 
 ing services. 
 
 An OPS study of the operating costs 
 and profit margins of a representative 
 number of dry cleaning service sellers in 
 Cook County, Illinois, accounting for ap¬ 
 proximately 75 percent of the total 
 volume of sales of these services, which 
 amounted to $20,000,000 in 1951, reveals 
 that increased labor and material costs 
 incurred since the Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 34 base period (December 19, 1950 
 to January 25, 1951, inclusive) have im¬ 
 paired the pre-Korean earnings of such 
 dry cleaning service sellers. 
 
 The action taken herein gives effect 
 to the standards for individual price 
 adjustment contained in section 20 (a) 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 and per¬ 
 mits the minimum increase necessary to 
 maintain the financial stability of these 
 dry cleaning service sellers and assure 
 continued supply of these essential 
 services. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 34 ceiling prices of sellers of dry 
 cleaning services may be increased by 
 a stated amount. Since OPS has the 
 previous price filings of these sellers in 
 its possession, the supplementary filing 
 required by section 18 (c) of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is not considered to 
 be necessary and is therefore excused, 
 
 thereby easing the administrative bur¬ 
 den of these service sellers and of the 
 OPS. 
 
 In the future, sellers subject to this 
 supplementary regulation may not ob¬ 
 tain an adjustment of their ceiling prices 
 for dry cleaning services at wholesale 
 and retail under section 20 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. Any adjustment of 
 ceiling prices under section 20 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 heretofore granted 
 is automatically revoked as of the effec¬ 
 tive date of this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion. 
 
 In the formulation of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, the Director has 
 consulted insofar as practicable with 
 representative suppliers of these services, 
 including representatives of trade asso¬ 
 ciations, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation the increases permitted by this 
 supplementary regulation are necessary 
 to effectuate the purpose of Title IV of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 SR 29—POWER LAUNDRIES IN THE CITY OF 
 SPOKANE, WASHINGTON 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Supplementary 
 Regulation to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in ceiling prices of power laun¬ 
 dry services supplied by power laundries 
 in the City of Spokane, Washington. 
 This supplementary regulation does not 
 permit the increase to be applied to the 
 diaper supply, linen supply and dry 
 cleaning services of such laundries. 
 
 For the past two years the earnings of 
 Spokane suppliers of power laundry serv¬ 
 ices have been decreasing, despite an in¬ 
 crease in the volume of sales. Wage in¬ 
 creases and sharply increased costs in 
 the latter part of 1950 and in 1951 have 
 brought the average earnings in this area 
 not only below normal earnings, but even 
 below the break-even point. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, ceiling prices of 
 such power laundries may be increased 
 by 5 percent, such adjustment to be ap¬ 
 plied to the total amount of each in¬ 
 voice rendered to the customer and iden¬ 
 tified as the “OPS permitted price in¬ 
 crease”, or, at the option of the indi¬ 
 vidual laundry, the established flat price 
 for each article may be increased 5 per¬ 
 cent. The adjusted flat price must with¬ 
 in ten days after their determination be 
 filed with the appropriate Office of Price 
 Stabilization district office. 
 
 Provision is made to retain such serv¬ 
 ices under Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 provided, however, that power laundries 
 subject to this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion may not, after the effective date of 
 this supplementary regulation, obtain an 
 adjustment of their ceiling prices un¬ 
 der sections 20 (a), (b) or (c) of that 
 regulation. In addition, adjustments 
 previously granted under those sections 
 are automatically revoked as of the ef¬ 
 fective date of this supplementary regu¬ 
 lation. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the price increases 
 
 permitted by this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion are the minimum needed to permit 
 the continued supply of this service. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, the Director has con¬ 
 sulted insofar as practicable with repre¬ 
 sentative suppliers of these services, in¬ 
 cluding representatives of trade associa¬ 
 tions, and consideration has been given 
 to their recommendations. In the judg¬ 
 ment of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion the increases permitted by this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation are generally fair 
 and equitable and are necessary to effec¬ 
 tuate the purposes of Title IV of the De¬ 
 fense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Section 1. Purpose. This supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation permits power laundries 
 in the City of Spokane, Washington to 
 increase the ceiling prices of their power 
 laundry services by 5 percent. This sup¬ 
 plementary regulation shall not apply to 
 the diaper supply, linen supply and dry 
 cleaning services of power laundries. 
 
 Sec. 2. Relationship to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. All provisions of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34, as amended, unless 
 changed by the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation as provided in sec¬ 
 tions 3 and 4 of this regulation, remain 
 in effect. 
 
 Sec. 3. Adjustment of ceiling prices. 
 You may, to the extent you supply power 
 laundry services in the City of Spokane, 
 Washington increase your ceiling prices 
 by 5 percent for power laundry services, 
 except diaper supply, linen supply and 
 dry cleaning services, thus supplied, by 
 either of the following methods: 
 
 (a) You may apply such an adjust¬ 
 ment to the total amount of each in¬ 
 voice rendered to the customer, pro¬ 
 vided you shall clearly write or stamp 
 beside the adjustment on each such in¬ 
 voice the words "OPS permitted price in¬ 
 crease.” If you use this method of ap¬ 
 plying your price increase you need not 
 make the supplementary filing required 
 by section 18 (c) of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34. 
 
 (b) You may, in lieu of the method 
 provided in paragraph (a) of this sec¬ 
 tion, increase by 5 percent the flat prices 
 of each power laundry services article, 
 except a diaper supply, linen supply and 
 dry cleaning services article. Within ten 
 days after your prices are established 
 under this paragraph, you must prepare 
 and file with your district office of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization a supple¬ 
 mental statement as required under sec¬ 
 tion 18 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 You may not establish prices under para¬ 
 graph (a) of this section once you have 
 elected to establish prices under this 
 paragraph. 
 
 (c) If the increase computed in para¬ 
 graphs (a) or (b) of this section results 
 in a fraction of a cent, the ceiling price 
 must be decreased to the next lower cent 
 if the fractional cent is less than one- 
 half cent, or may be increased to the 
 next higher cent if the fraction is one- 
 half cent or more. 
 
 Sec. 4. Application of section 20 of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. (a) A seller 
 subject to this supplementary regulation 
 may not, after the effective date of this 
 supplementary regulation, apply for an 
 adjustment of any of his ceiling prices 
 for power laundry services except diaper 
 supply, linen supply and dry cleaning 
 services under section 20 of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34, as amended. 
 
 (b) The adjustment of ceiling prices 
 granted by section 3 of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation shall be the maximum 
 adjustment permitted any such supplier 
 of power laundry services in lieu of, and 
 irrespective of, any adjustment hereto¬ 
 fore granted any such supplier under the 
 provisions of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 as amended. Any order adjusting the 
 ceiling prices of any such supplier’s 
 power laundry services under section 20 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as 
 amended, is hereby revoked as of the 
 effective date of this supplementary 
 regulation. 
 
 Sec. 5. Definitions, (a) “Power laun¬ 
 dry” or “power laundries” as used in this 
 regulation are laundries which in the 
 laundry trade are customarily known and 
 designated as such, and do not include 
 hand laundries, launderettes or laundries 
 using home-type laundry equipment to 
 supply laundry services. 
 
 Effective date. This order shall be¬ 
 come effective November 22, 1952. 
 
 Note: The record-keeping and reporting 
 requirements of this regulation have been 
 approved by the Bureau of the Budget in 
 accordance with the Federal Reports Act of 
 1942.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Supplementary 
 Regulation 30 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34, is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This action is an emergency action de¬ 
 signed to relieve severe financial hard¬ 
 ship now being suffered by various serv¬ 
 ice establishments in providing car 
 washing services in Texas communities 
 which arise from the serious drought 
 conditions existing in that state. 
 
 Information received in this office 
 indicates that due to shortages of water 
 resulting from the drought, municipali¬ 
 ties have adopted, or are considering the 
 adoption, of emergency ordinances which 
 prohibit automobile washing establish¬ 
 ments and service stations from using 
 water obtained from municipal water 
 distribution systems to wash automobiles 
 and other vehicles. As a result such 
 service establishments have been forced 
 to dig wells, haul water in, install equip¬ 
 ment to reclaim water, to buy water from 
 peddlers, and install pressure equipment. 
 
 The action permits suppliers of car 
 washing services to increase the ceiling 
 prices established under Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 by 25 cents per car. 
 
 The amount of this increase is approx¬ 
 imately the adjustment which would be 
 granted upon individual applications for 
 adjustment under the provisions of sec¬ 
 tion 20 (a) of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34. However, the data available is too 
 incomplete to permit adjustments on an 
 individual or area basis except for a 
 temporary period. In any event, the 
 conditions which would justify such ad¬ 
 justments at this time are of a temporary 
 
 nature, which it is anticipated may be 
 alleviated within three months. 
 
 The increased charges may be made 
 for a period of 90 days from the effective 
 date of the regulation, unless that time is 
 extended or shortened by further action 
 by the Director of Price Stabilization. 
 
 In view of the emergency nature of 
 this supplementary regulation circum¬ 
 stances have rendered consultation with 
 industry representatives, including trade 
 association representatives, impracti¬ 
 cable.

 Section 1. What this regulation does. 
 This regulation authorizes a temporary 
 emergency increase in ceiling prices for 
 sellers of the service of washing auto¬ 
 mobiles and other vehicles in certain 
 drought-stricken areas in Texas. 
 
 Sec. 2. Where this supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation applies. This supplementary 
 regulation applies only in locations in 
 the State of Texas which have adopted" 
 emergency municipal ordinances which 
 prohibit the use of water for the purpose 
 of washing automobiles and other vehi¬ 
 cles with water obtained from a water 
 distribution system regularly supplying 
 water to such municipalities. 
 
 Sec. 3. Eligibility to use the increase 
 permitted by this Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation. You may increase your ceiling 
 price for washing automobiles and other 
 vehicles, if you meet all of the following 
 conditions: 
 
 (a) You must have normally since 
 January 25, 1951, taken water which you 
 use to wash automobiles and other vehi¬ 
 cles from a water distribution system 
 which regularly supplies water to a mu¬ 
 nicipality in the State of Texas whose 
 
 governing body has recently adopted an 
 emergency ordinance prohibiting the use 
 of water for such purpose. 
 
 (b> In order to be able to continue 
 washing automobiles and other vehicles, 
 you must have incurred substantial ad¬ 
 ditional expense, which you would not 
 have incurred if you had not been pro¬ 
 hibited by the action of the municipal 
 authorities from using water for that 
 purpose, such as drilling a well, hauling 
 water, or providing additional equip¬ 
 ment such as pumps, water storage 
 tanks, etc. 
 
 (c) You must have filed your ceiling 
 price for washing automobiles and other 
 vehicles with your local OPS Office in 
 accordance with section 18 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. 
 
 Sec. 4. Amount of emergency increase. 
 If you meet the eligibility requirements 
 of section 3 of this supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation, you may increase your legally 
 established OPS ceiling price for wash¬ 
 ing automobiles and other vehicles by 
 25 cents per vehicle. 
 
 Sec. 5. Termination. This supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation is effective immediately. 
 However, the increase in your ceiling 
 prices permitted by section 4 of this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation may be charged 
 until February 16, 1953, unless this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation is revoked prior 
 to that date, or the time is further ex¬ 
 tended by the action of the Director. 
 Upon the expiration of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, or prior termination or 
 upon the expiration of any extension 
 thereof, you must revert to your ceiling 
 prices established under Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34, as amended, for the serv¬ 
 ice of washing automobiles and other 
 vehicles. If you elect to use this regu¬ 
 lation, all provisions of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34, as amended, except to 
 the extent they ere inconsistent with 
 the provisions of this supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation remain applicable to you. 
 
 Effective date. This supplementary 
 regulation to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 is effective November 17, 1952.

 SR 3 1-LINEN SUPPLY SERVICES IN THE CITY 
 
 OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161 and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 31 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 31 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in the ceiling prices of linen 
 supply services furnished by linen sup¬ 
 pliers in the City of Philadelphia, Penn¬ 
 sylvania. 
 
 Increased costs of operation resulting 
 from wage increases, replacement of 
 worn out, obsolete equipment, and 
 higher costs of materials used in proc¬ 
 essing have decreased the earnings of 
 these suppliers and caused a substantial 
 financial hardship to them. Certain of 
 these linen suppliers also employ the 
 services of power laundries in processing 
 their fabrics. The ceiling prices of 
 power laundries in the City of Phila¬ 
 delphia, Pennsylvania, have been in¬ 
 creased by 9 percent under Supplemen¬ 
 tary Regulation 25 to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 34, increasing the costs incurred 
 by those linen suppliers utilizing the 
 services of such power laundries. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, ceiling prices of 
 linen suppliers in the City of Phila¬ 
 delphia, Pennsylvania, may be increased 
 by 7 percent, such adjustment to be ap¬ 
 plied to the total amount of each invoice 
 rendered to the customer and identified 
 as the "OPS permitted price increase”, 
 or, at the option of the individual linen 
 supplier, the established flat price for 
 each article may be increased 7 percent. 
 The adjusted flat price must, within ten 
 days after determination, be filed with 
 the appropriate Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion District Office as required by section 
 18 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as 
 amended. 
 
 The uniform increase has been deter¬ 
 mined in accordance with the standards 
 for individual adjustments under section 
 20 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as 
 amended. 
 
 Linen suppliers subject to this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation may not, after the 
 effective date of this supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation, obtain an adjustment of their 
 ceiling prices under section 20 of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34, as amended. 
 In addition, adjustments previously 
 granted under that section are auto¬ 
 matically revoked upon the effective date 
 of this supplementary regulation. 
 
 In the formulation of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, the Director has 
 consulted insofar as practicable with 
 representative suppliers of these services, 
 including representatives of trade asso¬ 
 ciations, and consideration has been giv¬ 
 en to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Stabi¬ 
 lization the increases permitted by this 
 supplementary regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161 and Economic Stabilization Agency 
 General Order No. 2, this Supplemen¬ 
 tary Regulation 32 to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 32 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in the ceiling prices of the 
 diaper supply services furnished by re¬ 
 tail diaper suppliers in Philadelphia and 
 Delaware Counties, Pennsylvania and 
 Camden County, New Jersey- 
 
 Sharply increased costs of materials 
 and supplies together with wage in¬ 
 creases recently granted with Wage Sta¬ 
 bilization Board approval have made 
 repair and replacement of worn out and 
 obsolete equipment virtually impossible. 
 These factors have resulted in substan¬ 
 tial financial hardship to these diaper 
 service suppliers. Also, certain of these 
 diaper service suppliers employ the serv¬ 
 ices of power laundries in processing 
 their fabrics. The ceiling prices of 
 power laundries in Philadelphia, Penn¬ 
 sylvania have been increased by 9 per¬ 
 cent, increasing the costs incurred by 
 those diaper service suppliers using the 
 services of power laundries. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, ceiling prices of 
 diaper service suppliers in Philadelphia 
 and Delaware Counties, Pennsylvania 
 and Camden County, New Jersey may 
 be increased by 5 percent, such adjust¬ 
 ment to be applied to the total amount 
 of each invoice rendered to the customer 
 and identified as the “OPS permitted 
 price increase,” or, at the option of the 
 individual diaper service supplier, the 
 established flat price for each article 
 may be increased 5 percent. The ad¬ 
 justed flat price must, within ten days 
 after determination, be filed with the 
 appropriate Office of Price Stabilization 
 District Office. 
 
 Provision is made to retain such serv¬ 
 ices under Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 provided however, that diaper service 
 
 suppliers subject to this supplementary 
 regulation may not, after the effective 
 date of this supplementary regulation, 
 obtain an adjustment of their ceiling 
 prices under section 20 of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34, as amended. In addition, 
 adjustments previously granted under 
 that section are automatically revoked 
 as of the effective date of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, the Director has con¬ 
 sulted insofar as practicable with rep¬ 
 resentative suppliers of these services 
 including representatives of trade associ¬ 
 ations, and consideration has been given 
 to their recommendations. In the judg¬ 
 ment of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion the increases permitted by this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation are generally fair 
 and equitable and are necessary to effec¬ 
 tuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 (c) If the increase calculated in para¬ 
 graphs (a) and (b) of this section results 
 in a fraction of a cent, the ceiling price 
 must be decreased to the next lower cent 
 if the fractional cent is less than one- 
 half cent, or may be increased to the 
 next higher cent if the fraction is one- 
 half cent or more. 
 
 Sec. 4. Application of section 20 of

 seller of diaper supply services at retail 
 subject to this supplementary regulation 
 may, after the effective date of this regu¬ 
 lation, obtain an increase in his ceiling 
 prices for such diaper supply services 
 under section 20 of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34, as amended. All orders estab¬ 
 lishing ceiling prices of any seller of 
 diaper supply services subject to this 
 supplementary regulation issued under 
 either section 20 (a), (b> or (c) of Ceil¬

 the supplying to retail customers on a 
 rental basis, of clean laundered diapers

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of I960, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161 and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 this Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 33 to Celling Price 
 Regulation 34 Is hereby Issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OP CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 33 to 
 Celling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 Increase In retail celling prices for dry 
 cleaning services to all sellers of such 
 service located In the Greater Portland 
 Oregon Trading Area. This “Area”, as 
 it Is at times referred to In the regula¬ 
 tion, consists of the county of Multno¬ 
 mah and certain cities In the counties of 
 Clackamas In the State of Oregon and 
 Clark In the State of Washington. In 
 addition It permits all power laundries 
 located In the “Area" to Increase their 
 retail celling prices for power laundry 
 services. In order that customary pric¬ 
 ing practices established in the trade 
 may be maintained “bobtallers” (Inde¬ 
 pendent routemen) are also permitted 
 an Increase In their retail ceiling prices 
 on the resale at retail of power laundry 
 services that they purchase from power 
 laundries located In the “Area”. This 
 supplementary regulation does not per¬ 
 mit the increase to be applied to the 
 diaper supply and linen supply services 
 of power laundries and "bobtails". His¬ 
 torically it has been industry practice to 
 bargain collectively with the various 
 unions on proposed wage Increases. As a 
 result the Impact and efTect of any In¬ 
 crease has been uniform throughout each 
 industry. An analysis of the operating 
 costs and profit margins of a representa¬ 
 tive number of the sellers In the area 
 reveals that they are suffering an Im¬ 
 pairment of their pre-Korean earnings 
 as a result of Increased labor and ma¬ 
 terial costs, which have been incurred. 
 In may of 1952 new wage contracts were 
 negotiated under which laundry and dry 
 cleaning workers were granted a 5 cent 
 per hour Increase together with 6 paid 
 holidays: In August 1952 the Wage Sta¬ 
 bilization Board approved certain “fringe 
 benefits” for workers represented by the 
 Teamsters’ Union. Failure to make an 
 adjustment In the retail celling prices of 
 
 these sellers would impair their con¬ 
 tinued operations and would threaten an 
 interruption In the supply of these 
 essential services. This uniform increase 
 was determined In accordance with the 
 standards for individual adjustments 
 under section 20 of Celling Price Regula- 
 lation 34. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, retail celling prices 
 of such power laundries, dry cleaning 
 service sellers and bobtail sellers may be 
 increased by 5 percent such adjustment 
 to be applied to the total amount of each 
 invoice rendered to the customer and 
 identified as the “OPS permitted price 
 Increase." If this method Is used to 
 apply the amount of the Increase, the 
 seller need not make the supplementary 
 filing required by section 18 (c) of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34. At the option 
 of the Individual power laundry, dry 
 cleaning service seller and bobtailer, 
 however, the flat retail ceiling price for 
 each article may be Increased by 5 per¬ 
 cent. Adjusted flat celling prices must, 
 within ten days after their determina¬ 
 tion, be filed with the appropriate Office 
 of Price Stabilization district office as 
 required by section 18, as amended, of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. Express 
 authority Is granted to make necessary 
 changes In OPS posters. 
 
 In the future, power laundries, dry 
 cleaning service sellers and bobtallers 
 subject to this supplementary regulation 
 may not obtain an adjustment of their 
 retail celling prices for those services 
 covered by this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion, under section 20 of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34, as amended. Any ad¬ 
 justment of retail ceiling prices which 
 are the subject of this supplementary 
 regulation under section 20 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34, as amended, hereto¬ 
 fore granted Is automatically revoked as 
 of the effective date of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation. 
 
 In the Judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the price Increases 
 permitted by this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion are the minimum needed to permit 
 the continued supply of this service. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, the Director has infor¬ 
 mally consulted Insofar as practicable 
 with representative suppliers of these 
 services including representatives of 
 trade association, arid consideration has 
 been given to their recommendations. 
 In the Judgment of the Director of Price 
 Stabilization the increases permitted by 
 this supplementary regulation are gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and are neces¬ 
 sary to effectuate the purpose of Title 
 IV of the Defense Production Act of 1950,

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, arid Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 34 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in ceiling prices for hand laun¬ 
 dries situated in the Counties of Bronx, 
 New York, Kings, Queens, Richmond, 
 Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk, in 
 New York State. 
 
 Hand laundries in this area do an esti¬ 
 mated annual volume of business 
 amounting to $16,000,000. A study of 
 operating costs and profit margins of a 
 representative number of these hand 
 laundries reveals that increased labor 
 and material costs have impaired pre- 
 Korean earnings of such hand laundries. 
 In addition in May 1952, new wage con¬ 
 tracts were negotiated granting substan¬ 
 tial wage increases to all classes of 
 workers. The wage increases are all 
 within the formula of Wage Stabiliza¬ 
 tion Board regulations or have received 
 Wage Stabilization Board approval. In 
 June 1952 the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion issued Supplementary Regulation 
 19 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 grant¬ 
 ing wholesale power laundries in the 
 New York City Area permission to in¬ 
 crease their ceiling prices by 5 percent. 
 These cost increases have resulted in fur¬ 
 ther impairment of the earnings of such 
 hand laundries. The amount granted 
 herein has been determined to be the 
 minimum necessary to maintain the 
 financial stability of these hand laun¬ 
 dries in order to assure a continued 
 supply of these essential hand laundry 
 services. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation the charges of these 
 hand laundries for their services may be 
 increased by 6 percent. This uniform 
 increase was determined in accordance 
 with the standards for individual adjust¬ 
 ment under section 20 of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. Such an adjustment may 
 be applied to the total amount of each 
 invoice rendered to the customer, and 
 identified as the “OPS permitted price 
 increase”. If this method is used to ap¬ 
 ply the amount of the increase, the seller 
 need not make the supplementary filing 
 required by section 18 (c) of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. At the option of 
 the individual hand laundry, however, 
 the ceiling price for each item may be 
 
 increased by not more than 6 percent. 
 Adjusted flat prices must within ten days 
 after their determination be filed with 
 the appropriate OPS District Office. 
 
 In the future, hand laundries subject 
 to this supplementary regulation may 
 not obtain an adjustment of their ceiling 
 prices for their hand laundry services 
 under section 20 of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34. 
 
 In addition, the ceiling prices estab¬ 
 lished by this supplementary regulation 
 apply to all such hand laundry services, 
 irrespective of any adjustment of ceiling 
 prices heretofore granted under the pro¬ 
 visions of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 Consequently, any adjustments granted 
 under that regulation are automatically 
 revoked as of the effective date of this 
 supplementary regulation. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation the Director has con¬ 
 sulted insofar as practicable with repre¬ 
 sentative suppliers of these services, in¬ 
 cluding representatives of trade associa¬ 
 tions, and consideration has been given 
 to their recommendations. In the judg¬ 
 ment of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion the increase permitted by this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation are generally fair 
 and equitable and are necessary to ef¬ 
 fectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 35 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This supplementary regulation to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 establishes dol¬ 
 lars and cents ceiling prices for ware¬ 
 house handling and storage of peanuts 
 for the Commodity Credit Corporation. 
 
 The rates paid by the Commodity 
 Credit Corporation for the storage and 
 handling of peanuts have been constant 
 since 1944. Between 1944 and the pres¬ 
 ent time, the costs of operation of the 
 warehouses providing these services have 
 increased substantially. In addition, 
 the 1952 contracts require that the ware¬ 
 housemen guarantee the maintenance 
 of the grade and quality of the peanuts 
 delivered to them by the Commodity 
 Credit Corporation. This is a function, 
 demanding increased responsibility and 
 involving additional costs, which has 
 never before been assumed by the ware¬ 
 housemen, and, if effective during the 
 1951 season, would have cost the ware¬ 
 housemen an additional $4.00 per ton 
 according to Department of Agriculture 
 statistics. Officials of the Commodity 
 Credit Corporation have spent many 
 months negotiating these contracts and 
 are of the opinion that these services 
 Cannot be obtained at rates less than 
 those set forth herein. These officials 
 have advised the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization that, unless the increased rates 
 are made effective, the warehousemen 
 will not be able to furnish the services 
 required under the Commodity Credit 
 Corporation warehouse contracts. 
 
 The Commodity Credit Corporation 
 plans to use two separate contracts for 
 the handling and storage of peanuts. 
 These contracts are known as CCC Con¬ 
 tract No. 28 and CCC Contract No. 29. 
 CCC Contract 29 establishes two sep¬ 
 arate storage rates: a rate for com¬ 
 mingled peanuts, and a rate for peanuts 
 stored with identity preserved. The 
 terms of CCC Contract 29 require fire in¬ 
 surance coverage where peanuts are 
 stored on a commingled basis, thus ac¬ 
 counting for the twenty (20) cents per 
 ton per month differential between these 
 rates and the other rates established 
 under CCC Contract 29. For the same 
 reason the identical rate differential 
 exists between the storage rates for com¬ 
 mingled peanuts under CCC Contract 29 
 and the rates established under CCC 
 Contract 28. This regulation prescribes 
 ceiling rates for the warehouse handling 
 and storage of peanuts under each of 
 these contracts. 
 
 In the formulation of this regulation 
 there have been no consultations with 
 representatives of industry. Such con¬ 
 sultations have been deemed unneces¬ 
 sary since the matter has been fully dis¬ 
 cussed with representatives of the Com¬ 
 modity Credit Corporation. In the judg¬ 
 ment of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, the ceiling prices established by this 
 regulation are generally fair and equita¬ 
 ble and are necessary to effectuate the 
 purposes of Title IV of the Defense Pro¬ 
 duction Act of 1950, as amended.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive 
 Order 10161 and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 36 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 36 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in the ceiling prices of linen 
 supply services furnished by linen sup¬ 
 pliers in the counties of Allegheny, West¬ 
 moreland, Fayette, and Cambria, Penn¬ 
 sylvania, hereafter called the Pittsburgh, 
 Pennsylvania Area. 
 
 An analysis of the operating costs 
 and profit margins of a representative 
 number of sellers who provide 95 percent 
 of the linen supply services in the area 
 reveals that they are suffering an im¬ 
 pairment of their pre-Korean earnings 
 as a result of increased costs of opera¬ 
 tion resulting from wage increases, re¬ 
 placement of worn out, obsolete equip¬ 
 ment, and higher costs of materials. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, ceiling prices of 
 linen suppliers in the Pittsburgh, Penn¬ 
 sylvania Area may be increased by 6 per¬ 
 cent, such adjustment to be applied to 
 the total amount of each invoice ren¬ 
 dered to the customer and identified as 
 the “OPS permitted price increase”, or, 
 at the option of the individual linen sup¬ 
 plier, the established flat price for each 
 article may be increased 6 percent. The 
 adjusted flat price must, within ten days 
 after determination, be filed with the 
 appropriate Office of Price Stabilization 
 District Office as required by section 18 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as 
 amended. 
 
 The uniform increase has been deter¬ 
 mined in accordance with the standards 
 for individual adjustments under sec¬ 
 tion 20 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as 
 amended. 
 
 Linen suppliers subject to this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation may not, after the 
 effective date of this supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation, obtain an adjustment of their 
 ceiling prices under section 20 of Ceiling 
 
 Price Regulation 34, as amended. In 
 addition, adjustments previously granted 
 under that section are automatically 
 revoked upon the effective date of this 
 supplementary regulation. 
 
 In the formulation of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, the Director has 
 consulted insofar as practicable with 
 representative suppliers of these services, 
 including representatives of trade asso¬ 
 ciations, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization the increases permitted by this 
 supplementary regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as

 Sec. 3. Adjustment of ceiling prices. 
 You may, to the extent you furnish linen 
 supply services from locations in the 
 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Area, increase 
 your ceiling prices by 6 percent for linen 
 supply services thus supplied by either of 
 the following methods: 
 
 (a) You may apply such adjustment 
 to the total amount of each invoice 
 rendered to the customer, provided you 
 shall clearly write or stamp beside the 
 adjustment on each invoice the words 
 “OPS permitted price increase”. If you 
 use this method of applying your price 
 increase you need not make the supple¬ 
 mentary filing required by section 18 (c) 
 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as 
 amended. 
 
 (b) You may in lieu of the method 
 provided in paragraph (a) of this sec¬ 
 tion, increase by 6 percent the flat price 
 of each linen supply service article. 
 Within ten days after your prices are 
 established under this paragraph, you 
 must prepare and file with your district 
 office of the Office of Price Stabilization 
 a supplemental statement as required by 
 section 18 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 You may not establish prices under 
 paragraph (a) of this section once you 
 have elected to establish prices under 
 this paragraph. 
 
 (c) If the increase calculated in para¬ 
 graphs (a) and (b) of this section re¬ 
 sults in a fraction of a cent, the ceiling 
 price must be decreased to the next lower 
 cent if the fractional cent is less than 
 one-half cent, or may be increased to 
 the next higher cent if the fraction is 
 one-half cent or more. 
 
 Sec. 4. Application of section 20 of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. (a) No 
 
 seller of linen supply services subject to 
 this supplementary regulation, may, 
 after the effective date of this regulation, 
 apply for an adjustment of any of his 
 ceiling prices for linen supply services 
 under section 20 of Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34, as amended. All orders estab¬ 
 lishing ceiling prices of any seller of 
 linen supply services subject to this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation issued under 
 either section 20 (a), (b) or (c) of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34, as amended, are 
 hereby revoked, upon the effective date 
 of this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 5. Definitions, (a) As used in 
 this supplementary regulation the term: 
 
 (1) “Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Area” 
 means the area comprising the Counties 
 of Allegheny, Westmoreland, Fayette 
 and Cambria, Pennsylvania. 
 
 (2) “Linen supply services” means the 
 supplying to others, on a rental basis, 
 of clean laundered linen or garments by 
 the owner of these items. The term 
 “linen”, as used in this definition, is not 
 confined to articles made of linen textiles, 
 but includes articles consisting of any 
 fabric which are commonly laundered as 
 distinguished from being dry cleaned.

 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Amendment 1 to 
 Supplementary Regulation 36 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 1 to Supplementary 
 Regulation 36 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 modifies the computation of ceil¬ 
 
 ing price increases granted by this sup¬ 
 plementary regulation. Supplementary 
 Regulation 36 permits linen supply serv¬ 
 ice sellers in the Pittsburgh, Pennsyl¬ 
 vania, Area to increase their ceiling 
 prices by 6 percent. In cases where the 
 new ceiling price consists of a fraction 
 of a cent, the regulation permits the 
 price to be rounded to the nearer full 
 cent. However, it has been customary 
 in the linen supply business in this area 
 to compute prices on the basis of the 
 nearer one-half cent rather than the full 
 cent. Accordingly, in order to conform 
 the provisions of Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 36 to established linen supply pric¬ 
 ing practices in the affected area, section 
 3 (c) of Supplementary Regulation 36 
 is amended to set forth new instructions 
 on how to determine the ceiling price 
 in those cases where the rounding of 
 fractions of a cent is required. 
 
 In view of the clarifying nature of this 
 amendment, special circumstances have 
 rendered consultation with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, including trade association 
 representatives, impracticable. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Subparagraph (c) of section 3 of Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 36 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is amended to read 
 as follows: 
 
 (c) If the increase calculated in para¬ 
 graphs (a) and (b) of this section re¬ 
 sults in a fraction of a cent, the ceiling 
 price must be decreased to the next lower 
 one-half cent if the fractional cent is 
 less than one-quarter cent, or may be 
 increased to the next higher one-half 
 cent if the fraction is one-quarter cent 
 or more.

 SR 37-PARKING IN DOWNTOWN DAYTON, 
 
 OHIO 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic Sta¬ 
 bilization Agency General Order No. 2 
 (16 F. R. 738) , this Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 37 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This supplementary regulation to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34 establishes ceil¬ 
 ing prices for automobile parking serv¬ 
 ices rendered in parking lots and garages 
 in the downtown area of Dayton, Ohio. 
 
 Since 1940, the population of the 
 metropolitan area of Dayton. Ohio has 
 increased 50 percent, with the result that 
 there is a critical shortage of short time 
 parking facilities in the downtown com¬ 
 mercial and business area of the city. 
 Studies conducted for the city by the 
 Dayton Plan Board show that many of 
 the parking establishments located in 
 the downtown area have established only 
 daily parking rates under the provisions 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, and that 
 .these lots are filled at an early hour of 
 the day. This results in a lack of avail¬ 
 able space for “transient”, “errand” or 
 “customer” parkers. In addition the 
 study indicates that the non-availability 
 of short time parking spaces has resulted 
 in an increase in street parking viola¬ 
 tions which has necessitated increased 
 enforcement action by police officials, 
 thereby diverting police activities from 
 other important work. 
 
 The resultant traffic congestion is 
 causing widespread hardship to business 
 located in the downtown area, which 
 local authorities believe can be partially 
 alleviated by the encouragement of a 
 quick turn-over of automobiles in park¬ 
 ing lots located in the critical area. 
 
 This supplementary regulation estab¬ 
 lishes hourly rates for parking operators 
 located within the critical parking area 
 and these rates are believed to be the 
 minimum charges which will bring about 
 the benefits to the community that 
 should result from an increase in the 
 turn-over of available space for parking 
 purposes. In addition, provision is made 
 to permit operators having parking rates 
 established under Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 which are higher than the rates 
 established in this supplementary regu¬ 
 
 lation to elect to continue to charge their 
 present ceiling prices for the services 
 provided. In such event, however, those 
 sellers may not use the rates established 
 by this supplementary regulation for any 
 other parking services. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director, the 
 ceiling prices established by this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation will permit parking 
 lot operators and garages located in the 
 “critical area” of downtown Dayton, 
 Ohio, to provide the services necessary to 
 the community inasmuch as representa¬ 
 tives of that community have advised 
 him that adequate all day parking facili¬ 
 ties for employees and other all day 
 parkers can be provided by parking lots 
 and garages outside the “critical area”. 
 
 Special circumstances made it imprac¬ 
 ticable to consult formally with repre¬ 
 sentatives of the industry, including 
 trade association representatives, in the 
 formulation of this supplementary 
 regulation. Consideration, however, has 
 been given to the recommendations of 
 affected persons who were informally 
 consulted. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director the 
 ceiling prices established by this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation are generally fair 
 and equitable and will effectuate the 
 provisions of Title IV of the Defense 
 Production Act of 1950, as amended.

 FOOD LOCKER PLANTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950. as amended. Executive Order 
 10161 (15 F. R. 6105). and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738). this Supplementary 
 Regulation 38 to Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 38 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 authorizes 
 operators of frozen food locker plants to 
 Increase complete processing service 
 charges to ultimate consumers for the 
 processing of meats. It permits these 
 sellers to increase their ceiling prices, 
 otherwise determined pursuant to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34. by one cent per 
 pound for the service of completely proc¬ 
 essing customer-owned carcasses and 
 wholesale cuts of beef, veal, pork and 
 lamb. 
 
 Hie action taken herein is necessary 
 because of a substantial decline since 
 the base period (December 19, 1950, to 
 January 25,1951, inclusive) in the prices 
 received by locker plant operators from 
 the sale of inedible meat by-products. 
 The charges for processing meats owned 
 by the customer have always been aug¬ 
 mented by revenue derived from the sales 
 of suet, fat, bones and other by-products 
 left over from the cutting and trimming 
 of meats. This additional revenue is 
 considered by the industry as a part pay¬ 
 ment for the rendering of processing 
 services. 
 
 Information available to the Office of 
 Price Stabilization indicates that the 
 present market prices received by locker 
 plant operators for the sale of inedible 
 meat by-products are in the average 
 below the base period market prices re¬ 
 sulting in a substantial decrease in in¬ 
 come to the frozen food locker plant 
 industry for processing services. The 
 increase of one cent a pound permitted 
 by this supplementary regulation, which 
 is uniformly applicable to all locker plant 
 processors, is determined to be the mini¬ 
 mum increase necessary to assure the 
 continued supply of essential processing 
 services at prices which are fair and 
 equitable to both the industry and the 
 consumer. 
 
 The authorized price increase may be 
 utilized by locker plant operators only 
 where carcasses, including sides, quar¬ 
 ters and wholesale cuts of meat'are com¬ 
 pletely processed. The complete proc¬ 
 essing service must consist of such com¬ 
 ponent services as chilling, cutting, 
 wrapping, labelling and freezing. No 
 Increase in present ceiling prices may be 
 obtained under this supplementary reg- 
 
 WASHINGTON 
 
 ulation for these services singly. Fur¬ 
 ther, no increases in prices are per¬ 
 mitted for the processing of retail or 
 fabricated cuts of meat, specialty prod¬ 
 ucts, lard rendering, curing or smoking, 
 or the processing in any form of game, 
 poultry, fish, fruits and vegetables. 
 
 This supplementary regulation does 
 not permit frozen food locker plant op¬ 
 erators to increase present wholesale 
 and retail ceiling prices of meats estab¬ 
 lished under other OPS regulations, nor 
 does it apply to processing services ren¬ 
 dered by commercial storage plants, 
 meat packers, stockyards and slaugh¬ 
 terers. 
 
 Since this supplementary regulation is 
 designed to compensate locker plant op¬ 
 erators for reduced overall processing 
 service charges caused by a decline in 
 the selling prices of meat by-products 
 rather than the impairment of normal 
 pre-Korean earnings, the affected sellers 
 are not precluded from making use of 
 the individual adjustment provisions of 
 section 20 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 In the formulation of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, the Director has 
 consulted extensively insofar as prac¬ 
 ticable with representative suppliers of 
 these services, including representatives 
 of trade associations and the Depart¬ 
 ment of Agriculture, and consideration 
 has been given to their recommenda¬ 
 tions. In the judgment of .the Director 
 of Price Stabilization the increase per¬ 
 mitted by this supplementary regulation 
 is necessary to effectuate the purpose of 
 Title IV of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended.

 Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of 
 this regulation is to permit frozen food 
 locker plants (see definition in section 
 5 (3)) to increase service charges by 
 one cent per pound for the complete 
 processing of meats. 
 
 Sec. 2. Relationship to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. All provisions of CPR 34, 
 as amended, except as affected by the 
 provisions of this supplementary regu¬ 
 lation, shall remain in full force and ef¬ 
 fect. 
 
 Sec. 3. Ceiling prices, (a) If you op¬ 
 erate a frozen food locker plant you may 
 increase your ceiling prices established 
 under sections 5, 6 or 7 of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34, as amended, by one cent 
 per pound for the service of completely 
 processing customer owned carcasses, 
 including sides, quarters, and whole¬ 
 sale cuts of beef veal, pork and lamb. 
 
 (b) This increase in ceiling prices of 
 one cent per pound is in lieu of, and not 
 in addition to, any other Increase over 
 the dollar and cent element of the ceil¬ 
 ing price formula for your complete 
 processing services to which you might 
 otherwise be entitled under Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 by reason of the de¬ 
 crease since the base period in the price 
 you receive for any meat by-products as 
 part of your compensation for the serv¬ 
 ices you render. For example, if during 
 the base period, your locker plant ren¬ 
 dered a complete processing service at a 
 price of 4 cents a pound to your cus¬ 
 tomers plus all non-edible meat by-prod¬ 
 ucts with a base period resale value of 
 2 cents a pound, for a total of 6 cents, 
 and currently you can realize an average 
 resale value of by-products of only 1 
 cent a pound, you may under this reg¬ 
 ulation increase the price to your cus¬ 
 tomers from 4 cents to 5 cents a pound 
 plus the non-edible meat by-products 
 for a similar total of 6 cents a pound. 
 You may not. however, increase the price 
 charged your customers for complete 
 processing services by more than one 
 cent a pound even though your realiza¬ 
 tion for any meat by-products has de¬ 
 clined since the base period. 
 
 Sec. 4. Filing. Within 10 days after 
 establishing your ceiling prices under 
 this regulation, you must prepare and 
 file a statement with the appropriate 
 district office of the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization, in accordance with section 18 
 (c) of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 Sec. 5. Definitions. As used in this 
 supplementary regulation to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34: 
 
 (a) “Complete processing” is your 
 complete custom processing service ap¬ 
 plied to beef, veal, pork, and lamb, and 
 which includes such operations as chill¬ 
 ing, cutting, wrapping, labelling, freez¬ 
 ing, and in addition, any other operation 
 as you customarily performed (ageing, 
 grinding, boning, etc.). 
 
 (b) “Carcasses”, “sides”, “quarters”, 
 and “wholesale cuts” are defined and de¬ 
 scribed in the following OPS commodity 
 regulation: For beef see Appendix 2 of 
 CPR 24, Collation 2; Appendix 3 of CPR

 clude any establishments which pri¬ 
 marily offer frozen food storage service in 
 individual lockers, and provide complete 
 custom processing services on meat

 Effective date. This supplementary 
 regulation shall become effective Feb¬ 
 ruary 7, 1953.

 SR 39-HAND LAUNDRIES IN PHILADELPHIA, 
 
 PENNSYLVANIA 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive 
 Order 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 39 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 39 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in ceiling prices for hand laun¬ 
 dries located in Philadelphia, Pennsyl¬ 
 vania. 
 
 Hand laundries in Philadelphia do an 
 estimated annual volume of business 
 amounting to approximately $750,000 
 annually. A study of operating costs and 
 profit margins of a representative num¬ 
 ber of these hand laundries reveals that 
 increased labor and material costs have 
 impaired pre-Korean earnings of such 
 hand laundries. In November 1952, new 
 wage contracts were negotiated granting 
 substantial wage increases. The wage 
 increases are all within the formula of 
 WSB regulations or have received WSB 
 approval. In addition, OPS issued Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 25 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 in November 1952 
 granting power laundries in Philadelphia 
 permission to increase their ceiling prices 
 by 9 percent, thus increasing processing 
 costs of the hand laundries. These cost 
 increases have resulted in further im¬ 
 pairment of the earnings of such hand 
 laundries. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, the charges of these 
 hand laundries for their services may 
 be increased by 10 percent. This uni¬ 
 form increase was determined in accord¬ 
 ance with the standards for individual 
 adjustment under section 20 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. Such an adjust¬ 
 ment may be applied to the total amount 
 of each invoice rendered to the customer, 
 and identified as the “OPS permitted 
 price increase.” If this method is used 
 to apply the amount of the increase, the 
 seller need not make the supplementary 
 filing required by section 18 (c) of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34. At the option 
 of the individual hand laundry, however, 
 the ceiling price for each item may be 
 increased by not more than 10 percent. 
 Adjusted flat prices must within ten days 
 after their determination, be filed 1 with 
 the appropriate OPS District Office. 
 
 In the future, hand laundries subject 
 to this supplementary regulation may 
 not obtain an adjustment of their ceil¬ 
 ing prices for their hand laundry serv¬ 
 ices under section 20 of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. 
 
 In addition, the ceiling prices estab¬ 
 lished by this supplementary regulation 
 apply to all such hand laundry services, 
 irrespective of any adjustment of ceiling 
 prices heretofore granted under the pro¬ 
 visions of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 Consequently, any adjustments granted 
 under that regulation are automatically 
 revoked as of the effective date of this 
 supplementary regulation. 
 
 In the formulation of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation the Director has 
 consulted insofar as practicable with 
 representative suppliers of these services, 
 including representatives of trade asso¬ 
 ciations, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization the increases permitted by this 
 supplementary regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Sec. 3. Adjustment of ceiling prices. 
 You may, if you are a hand laundry lo¬ 
 cated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in¬ 
 crease your ceiling prices for hand 
 laundry services established under sec¬ 
 tion 5 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, by 
 10 percent by either of the following 
 methods: 
 
 (a) You may apply such increase to 
 the total amount of each invoice ren¬ 
 dered to the customer, provided you shall 
 clearly write or stamp on each such 
 invoice beside the adjustment the words 
 “OPS permitted price increase” If you 
 use this method of applying your price 
 
 increase you need not make the supple¬ 
 mentary filing required by section 18 (c) 
 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 
 (b) You may in lieu of the method 
 provided in paragraph (a) of this sec¬ 
 tion, increase by 10 percent the ceiling 
 prices of each hand laundry service item 
 you supply. Within ten days after your 
 prices are established under this para¬ 
 graph, you must prepare and file with 
 your district office of the Office of Price 
 Stabilization a supplementary statement 
 as required under section 18 (c) of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34. You must also 
 change or prepare and post on an official 
 OPS poster the adjusted ceiling prices 
 determined under this section. You may 
 not use paragraph (a) of this section 
 once you have elected to adjust ceiling 
 prices under this paragraph. 
 
 (c) If the increase computed in para¬ 
 graph (a) or (b) of this section results 
 in a fraction of a cent, the price must be 
 decreased to the next lower cent if the 
 fractional cent is less than one-half cent 
 or may be increased to the next higher 
 cent if the fraction is one-half cent or 
 more. 
 
 Sec. 4. Application of section 20 of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. (a) A hand 
 laundry subject to this supplementary 
 regulation may not, after the effective 
 date of this supplementary regulation, 
 apply for an adjustment of any of its 
 ceiling prices for hand laundry services 
 under section 20 of Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation 34, as amended. 
 
 (b) The adjustment of ceiling prices 
 granted by section 3 of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation shall be the maximum 
 adjustment permitted any hand laundry 
 in lieu of, and irrespective of, any ad¬ 
 justment heretofore granted any such 
 hand laundry under the provisions of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as amended. 
 Any order adjusting the ceiling prices 
 of any such hand laundry services under 
 section 20 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 as amended, is hereby revoked as of the 
 effective date of this supplementary 
 regulation. 
 
 Sec. 5. Definitions, (a) “Hand laun¬ 
 dries” as used in this regulation are laun¬ 
 dry establishments receiving and distrib¬ 
 uting laundry, generally finishing some 
 wearing apparel by hand ironing done 
 on the premises, giving only limited, if 
 any, delivery services. 
 
 Effective date. This Supplementary 
 Regulation 39 to Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34 shall become effective February 9, 
 1953. 
 
 Note: The record-keeping and reporting 
 requirement of the regulation have been 
 approved by the Bureau of the Budget in

 plementary Regulation 40 to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 40 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in the ceiling prices of the diaper 
 supply services furnished by retail diaper 
 suppliers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 
 
 Sharply increased costs of materials 
 and supplies together with wage in¬ 
 creases recently granted with Wage Sta¬ 
 bilization Board approval have made re¬ 
 pair and replacement of worn out and 
 obsolete equipment virtually impossible. 
 These factors have resulted in substan¬ 
 tial financial hardship to these diaper 
 service suppliers. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, ceiling prices of 
 diaper service suppliers in Pittsburgh, 
 Pennsylvania, may be increased by 8 per¬ 
 cent. such adjustment to be applied to 
 the total amount of each invoice ren¬ 
 dered to the customer and identified as 
 the "OPS permitted price increase,” or, 
 at the option of the individual diaper 
 service supplier, the established flat price 
 for each article may be increased 8 per¬ 
 cent. The adjusted flat price must, 
 within ten days after determination, be 
 filed with the appropriate Office of Price 
 Stabilization District Office. 
 
 Provision is made to retain such serv¬ 
 ices under Ceiling Price Regulation 34: 
 Provided, however. That diaper service 
 suppliers subject to this supplementary 
 regulation may not, after the effective 
 date of this supplementary regulation, 
 obtain an adjustment of their ceiling 
 prices under section 20 of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34, as amended In addition, 
 adjustments previously granted under 
 that section are automatically revoked 
 as of the effective date of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, the Director has con¬ 
 sulted insofar as practicable with repre¬ 
 sentative suppliers of these services in¬ 
 cluding representatives of trade associa¬ 
 tions, and consideration has been given 
 to their recommendations. In the judg¬ 
 ment of the Director of Price Stabi¬ 
 lization the increases permitted by this 
 supplementary regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive 
 Order 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 41 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 41 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits a 
 uniform increase in ceiling prices for 
 window washing services supplied within 
 the limits of the City of Chicago, Illinois, 
 by sellers located there. 
 
 A study of the operating costs and 
 profit margins of a representative num¬ 
 ber of such sellers reveals that increased 
 labor and material costs have impaired 
 their pre-Korean earnings. Effective 
 November 1,1952, these suppliers granted 
 their employees a six cent per hour wage 
 increase, and six paid holidays whereas 
 there were no paid holidays before, with 
 the result that the earnings of these sup¬ 
 pliers will be further impaired. It has 
 been well established that direct labor 
 costs in this industry generally amount 
 to from 60 to 80'/ of selling price. Very 
 small wage increases, therefore, result in 
 almost immediate financial hardship for 
 these service businesses. 
 
 The amount granted herein has been 
 determined to be the minimum necessary 
 to maintain the financial stability of 
 these suppliers of window washing serv¬ 
 ices in order to assure a continued supply 
 of these essential services. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, the charges of these 
 
 suppliers of window washing services 
 may be increased by 8 percent, This uni¬ 
 form increase was determined in accord¬ 
 ance with the standards for individual 
 adjustment under section 20 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. 
 
 In the future, suppliers of window 
 washing services subject to this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation may not obtain an 
 adjustment of their ceiling prices for 
 their window washing services under 
 section 20 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 In addition adjustments granted under 
 that section are automatically revoked 
 as of the effective date of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation. 
 
 In the formulation of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, the Director has 
 consulted insofar as practicable with 
 representative suppliers of these services, 
 including representatives of trade asso¬ 
 ciations, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Stab¬ 
 ilization, the increases permitted by this 
 supplementary regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161 and Economic Stabilization Agen¬ 
 cy General Order No. 2, this Supplemen¬ 
 tary Regulation 42 to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 42 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in the ceiling prices of linen and 
 diaper supply services furnished by linen 
 and diaper suppliers in Wheeling, West 
 Virginia. 
 
 An analysis of the operating costs and 
 profit margins of sellers who provide all 
 of the linen and diaper supply services 
 in the area reveals that they are suffer¬ 
 ing an impairment of their pre-Korean 
 earnings as a result of increased costs of 
 operation resulting from wage increases, 
 replacement of worn out, and obsolete 
 equipment, and higher costs of materials. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, ceiling prices of 
 linen and diaper suppliers in Wheeling, 
 West Virginia, may be increased by 8 
 percent, such adjustment to be applied 
 to the total amount of each invoice ren¬ 
 dered to the customer and identified as 
 the “OPS permitted price increase”, or, 
 at the option of the individual linen and 
 diaper supplier, the established flat 
 price for each article may be increased 
 8 percent. The adjusted flat price must, 
 within ten days after determination, be 
 filed with the appropriate Office of Price 
 Stabilization District Office as required 
 by section 18 of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34, as amended. 
 
 The uniform increase has been deter¬ 
 mined in accordance with the stand¬ 
 ards for individual adjustments under 
 section 20 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, 
 as amended. 
 
 Linen and diaper suppliers subject to 
 this supplementary regulation may not, 
 after the effective date of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, obtain an adjust¬ 
 ment of their ceiling prices under sec¬ 
 tion 20 of Ceiling Price Regulation 34, as 
 amended. In addition, adjustments pre¬ 
 
 viously granted under that section are 
 automatically revoked upon the effec¬ 
 tive date of this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, the Director has con¬ 
 sulted insofar as practicable with repre¬ 
 sentative suppliers of these services, in¬ 
 cluding representatives of trade associa¬ 
 tions, and consideration has been given 
 to their recommendations. In the judg¬ 
 ment of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬

 quired by section 18 of Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 34. You may not establish prices

 once you have elected to establish prices 
 under this paragraph. 
 
 (c) If the increase calculated in para¬ 
 graphs (a) and (b) of this section re¬ 
 sults in a fraction of a cent, the ceiling 
 price must be decreased to the next 
 lower cent if the fractional cent is less 
 than one-half cent, or may be increased 
 to the next higher cent if the fraction 
 is one-half cent or more.

 seller of linen and diaper supply services 
 subject to this supplementary regulation,

 of his ceiling prices for linen and diaper

 All orders establishing ceiling prices of 
 any seller of linen and diaper supply 
 services subject to this supplementary

 this supplementary regulation the term: 
 
 (1) “Linen supply services” means the 
 supplying to others, on a rental basis, of

 the supplying to retail customers on a 
 rental basis, of clean laundered diapers 
 by the owner of these items.

 Pursuant to the Defense production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 this Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 43 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 43 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 conditionally 
 authorizes sellers of window washing and 
 building janitorial services in the Coun¬ 
 ties of New York, Kings, Queens, Bronx, 
 Richmond, Westchester, Nassau and 
 Suffolk, in the State of N£w York, here¬ 
 inafter called the "New York Area”, to 
 charge their customers for such services 
 rendered after certain dates, tentative 
 increased ceiling prices based upon in¬ 
 creased direct labor costs and fringe 
 benefits actually incurred since March 
 12, 1952, and those which they probably 
 will incur retroactively as a result of 
 wage negotiations pending on December 
 1, 1952. Such increased tentative ceil¬ 
 ing prices may be charged only on con¬ 
 dition that the seller agree with the cus¬ 
 tomers to whom he charges such in¬ 
 creased tentative prices that he will re¬ 
 pay to them the amount, if any, by 
 which the tentative prices charged ex¬ 
 ceed the sellers lawful ceiling prices as 
 finally computed by the seller, pursu¬ 
 ant to this Supplementary Regulation, 
 after the conclusion of the said negotia¬ 
 tions, for the period during which the 
 services were rendered, on the basis of 
 the direct labor wage increases and di¬ 
 rect labor fringe benefits he has granted 
 retroactively. 
 
 The Director takes notice of and rec¬ 
 ognizes the practice in this industry of 
 charging customers, after wage negotia¬ 
 tions have been entered into, tentative 
 prices which include a factor for prob¬ 
 able retroactive wage increases, leaving 
 the final prices to be determined on the 
 basis of the wage increases which are 
 actually granted retroactive to the time 
 the services were performed. It appears 
 that the direct labor costs of rendering 
 these services range from 60 to 80 per¬ 
 cent of sales price; that these suppliers 
 normally operate on a very small earn¬ 
 ings margin; that in general they do not 
 have the financial capacity to absorb 
 wage increases; and that increased labor 
 
 costs necessitate concurrent increases in 
 their sales prices if undue interference 
 with the effective operation of these 
 service businesses is to be avoided. 
 
 In the formulation of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation there was con¬ 
 sultation with industry representatives, 
 including trade association representa¬ 
 tives, to the extent practicable, and con¬ 
 sideration was given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. In the judgment of the 
 Director of Price Stabilization the provi¬ 
 sions of this Supplementary Regulation 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 34 are gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and are neces¬ 
 sary to effectuate the purposes of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 SPOKANE. WASHINGTON 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Supple¬ 
 mentary Regulation 44 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 44 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 permits an 
 increase in ceiling prices for dry cleaning 
 services furnished at wholesale and retail 
 by sellers located in the City of Spokane, 
 Washington. A previous ceiling price 
 increase granted to power laundries in 
 the City of Spokane did not include dry 
 cleaning services. 
 
 An OPS study of operating costs and 
 profit margins of a representative num¬ 
 ber of dry cleaning service sellers in the 
 City of Spokane, Washington accounting 
 for approximately 80% of the total vol¬ 
 ume of sales of these services, which 
 amounted to $1,500,000 in 1951, reveals 
 that they are suffering an impairment of 
 their pre-Korean earnings as a result of 
 increased labor and material costs. 
 
 The action taken herein gives effect to 
 the standards for individual price ad¬ 
 justment contained in section 20 (a) of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34 and permits 
 the minimum increase necessary to 
 maintain the financial stability of these 
 dry cleaning service sellers and assure 
 continued supply of these essential 
 services. 
 
 Under the provisions of this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, ceiling prices of 
 sellers of dry cleaning services may be 
 increased by 5 percent, such adjustment 
 to be applied to the total amount of each 
 invoice rendered to the customer and 
 identified as the “OPS permitted price 
 increase”. If this method is used to ap¬ 
 ply the amount of the increase, the seller 
 need not make the supplementary filing 
 required by section 18 (c> of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34. At the option of 
 the dry cleaning service seller, however, 
 the flat ceiling price for each article may 
 be increased by 5 percent. Adjusted flat 
 ceiling prices must, within 10 days after 
 their determination, be filed with the 
 appropriate OPS district office as re¬ 
 
 quired by section 18, as amended, of Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 34. Express au¬ 
 thority is granted to make necessary 
 changes in OPS posters. 
 
 In the future, sellers subject to this 
 supplementary regulation may not ob¬ 
 tain an adjustment of their ceiling prices 
 for dry cleaning services at wholesale and 
 retail under section 20 of Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. Any adjustment of ceil¬ 
 ing prices under section 20 of Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34 heretofore granted is 
 automatically revoked as of the effec¬ 
 tive date of this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion. 
 
 In the formulation of this supplemen¬ 
 tary regulation, the Director has con¬ 
 sulted insofar as practicable with repre¬ 
 sentative suppliers of these services, 
 including representatives of trade asso¬ 
 ciations, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. In the 
 judgment of the Director of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization the increases permitted by this 
 supplementary regulation are necessary 
 to effectuate the purpose of Title IV of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended.

 Regulation 34 and must change your 
 OPS poster prices or prepare and display 
 a new poster to reflect the price increase 
 permitted by this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion. You may not establish prices un¬ 
 der paragraph <a> of this section once 
 you have elected to establish prices un¬ 
 der this paragraph. 
 
 <c) If the price increase computed in 
 paragraph ta> or <b' of this section re¬ 
 sults in a fraction of a cent, the price 
 increase must be decreased to the next

 than one-half cent, or may be increased 
 to the next higher cent if the fraction is 
 one-half cent or more. 
 
 Sec. 4. Application of section 20 of 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 34. No seller 
 of dry cleaning services at wholesale or 
 retail subject to this supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation may, after the effective date of 
 this regulation, obtain an increase in 
 his ceiling prices for such dry cleaning 
 services under either section 20 (a>, (b» 
 or <c' of Ceiling Price Regulation 34. 
 All orders establishing ceiling prices of 
 any seller of dry cleaning services sub¬ 
 ject to this supplementary regulation 
 issued under either section 20 (a), ib> 
 or <c> of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 are hereby revoked upon the effective 
 date of this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 5. Definitions, (a) "Dry clean¬ 
 ing services” as used in this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation means services ren¬ 
 dered in the cleaning of garments and 
 other items primarily with fluids other 
 than water and includes pressing.

 FIELD PRICE INSTRUCTION NUMBER 13 
 
 May 23, 1931 
 
 Processing of Price Lists Filed Under Section 18 , 
 CPR-34, the Services Regulation 
 
 1. Nature and Scope 
 
 In order to insure the maintenance of adequate records and to have the 
 prices of all sellers of services available to the Office of Price Stabilization, 
 careful record keeping and filing with the District Office is required by Section 
 18. The filing of prices with the District Office within thirty days after the 
 effective date of the regulation is necessary for the purpose of providing in¬ 
 formation on individual sellers prices for enforcement purposes, for price veri¬ 
 fication of new services and sellers, and as a valuable source of trade informa¬ 
 tion. NOTE: Some District Offices will not have sufficient personnel to process 
 these filings immediately. If this is the situation in your office, the filings 
 should be kept in a safe and convenient place until they can be processed. It 
 is important that these filings be handled properly. Accordingly, make certain 
 that persons assigned to the task are fully acquainted with the instructions. 
 
 In addition to the requirement that all sellers file lists of services 
 sold. Section 6 provides that new establishments file their proposed prices prior 
 to offering services for sale. It also requires that the prices of all new serv¬ 
 ices be filed after the competitor's price has been selected. 
 
 A separate set of instructions will be issued in the near future for pro¬ 
 cessing filings of new sellers and new services. 
 
 2. Data to be Submitted 
 
 No standard form is provided. Sellers are permitted to file price lists on 
 their own stationary or plain paper. These statements must contain the following: 
 
 (a) A complete description and identification of the services supplied 
 during the base period of December 19, 1950 - January 25, 1951. 
 
 (b) The highest prices charged or the rate or pricing method used for 
 these services during the base period. (The price must be stated in 
 exact terms and no description such as "$1.00 and up" is acceptable.) 
 
 If a manual, manufacturer's list price or parts catalog is used, it 
 should be clearly identified by name, edition, date, and the instances 
 in which it was not followed during the base period. 
 
 (c) All customary allowances, discounts, and other price differentials, 
 which were customarily allowed or offered duriVig the base period with a 
 description of the classes of customers and the prices charged to each 
 class. 
 
 (d) The name and address of the firm, date prepared, and the signature of 
 the owner or other responsible person. 
 
 3. Initial Processing 
 
 As soon as a price list is received, the following actions should be taken: 
 (a) Stamp the date of receipt on the upper left margin. 
 
85 Serv 32:9202 
 
 (b) Check the list to see that all of the required data (Section 2 above) 
 are clearly stated. 
 
 (c) If the list is complete it is ready for filing. 
 
 (d) If the list is incomplete, the additional information necessary 
 should be requested by letter. (See attached sample letter.) 
 
 (e) The list and copies of any correspondence relative to it are then 
 ready for filing. 
 
 4. Filing 
 
 Price list files should be maintained for each county covered by a District 
 Office. Within each county, price lists together with appropriate correspondence 
 should be filed alphabetically by the name of the establishment. 
 
 5. Maintenance of Filings 
 
 It shall be the responsibility of the District Office to maintain an up-to- 
 date file of all sellers of services in the District who are covered by the Regu¬ 
 lation. Since new establishments and sellers of new services are required by 
 the Regulation to file price lists, the District Office can keep their lists up- 
 to-date in respect to new sellers and services. The maximum value can be obtained 
 from these records by filing them on a county-wide basis. 
 
 6. Utilization of Filings 
 
 The principal uses for sellers lists are: 
 
 (a) To provide information for enforcement and compliance purposes. 
 
 (b) To provide a mailing list for distribution of regulations, orders, 
 trade bulletins, etc. 
 
 (c) To provide information for price determination. 
 
 (d) To provide information for sampling techniques, surveys, and compila¬ 
 tions of price patterns, and of the number of sellers, by type of 
 service, area, etc. 
 
 (e) To provide a means for checking competitors' price lists in order to 
 determine prices for new sellers and new services.

 ARTICLE I—SCOPE OF REGULATION 
 
 Section 1. What this regulation does. 
 This regulation provides a formula for 
 computing ceiling prices for commodi¬ 
 ties which are exported or sold for ex¬ 
 port from the continental United States. 
 
 [Section 1 amended by Arndt. 2] 
 
 Sec. 2. Applicability and prohibi¬ 
 tions —(a) Applicability. This regula¬ 
 tion is applicable to the exportation of 
 commodities from the continental United 
 States. Exports from a territory or 
 possession of the United States are not 
 covered by this regulation, as amended. 
 Such exports from a territory or pos¬ 
 session are subject to the General Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation unless they are now, 
 or until they are hereafter, covered by a 
 numbered ceiling price regulation. 
 
 This regulation applies to all export 
 sales and sales for export except those 
 sales specifically exempt from price con¬ 
 trol under any regulation issued by the 
 Director of Price Stabilization. How¬ 
 ever, the provisions of the following 
 enumerated regulations and of all subse¬ 
 quent regulations will continue in effect 
 insofar as they expressly may apply to 
 export sales or sales for export: 
 
 Section 14 of the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation; Supplementary Regulation 
 8 to the General Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion, dealing with coal exporters; Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 9 to the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation, dealing with 
 export commitments entered into before 
 February 2, 1951; Supplementary Regu¬ 
 lation 34 to the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation, dealing with beef sausage; 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 5 on iron and 
 steel scrap; Ceiling Price Regulation 8 
 on upland cotton; Ceiling Price Regula¬ 
 tion 19 on tungsten concentrates; Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 24 on wholesale

 cotton, linen and underwear cuttings; 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 29 on scrap ma¬ 
 terials containing nickel; Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 33 on tungsten products;

 on copper and copper alloy scrap; Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 47 on brass mill 
 scrap; Ceiling Price Regulation 49 on 
 wood pulp; Ceiling Price Regulation 53 
 on lead scrap; Ceiling Price Regulation 
 54 on aluminum scrap; Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 59 on scrap rubber; and 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 74 on pork sold 
 at wholesale. 
 
 (b) Prohibitions. On and after the 
 effective date of this regulation, (l).you 
 shall not export or sell for export any 
 commodities covered by this regulation 
 
 at prices higher than the ceiling prices 
 fixed by this regulation; (2) you shall 
 not buy dr receive for export in the 
 course of trade or business any com¬ 
 modity covered by this regulation at 
 prices higher than the ceiling prices fixed 
 by this regulation; and (3) you shall not 
 agree, offer, solicit or attempt to do any¬ 
 thing prohibited in this regulation. 
 Nothing in this regulation shall prohibit 
 your use of any customary and reason¬ 
 able invoicing practice: Provided, That 
 (i) you do not retain for your own ac¬ 
 count, directly or indirectly, any amount 
 in excess of the ceiling price allowed 
 under this regulation and (ii) you first 
 obtain written approval from the OPS 
 National Office for the invoicing to your 
 foreign buyer’s customer or anyone else 
 of a price which exceeds your ceiling 
 price under this regulation. 
 
 (c) Sales between companies under 
 common control. Except in respect to 
 companies integrated or related solely 
 for the purposes of the Webb-Pomerene 
 Act (Act of April 10, 1918, c. 50, 40 Stat. 
 516; 15 U. S. C. sec. 61-65) this regula¬ 
 tion permits integrated or related com¬ 
 panies, which are domiciled in the conti¬ 
 nental United States, when the com¬ 
 panies are either directly or indirectly 
 under common control, or when their 
 relationship is that of parent and sub¬ 
 sidiary to: (1) Notify the OPS National 
 Office in writing that they choose to con¬ 
 sider all of such integrated or related 
 companies as a unit so that inter-com¬ 
 pany transactions will not be subject to 
 the provisions of this regulation; or (2) 
 continue such inter-company transac¬ 
 tions on the same basis as though each 
 company in the group were independent 
 and in all respects subject to the provi¬ 
 sions of this regulation. If integrated or 
 related companies choose option (1) un¬ 
 der this section then this regulation ap¬ 
 plies to the sale or shipment by such 
 integrated or related companies to the 
 first subsidiary, related or independent 
 company or buyer, domiciled outside the 
 continental United States.

 ARTICLE II—PRICING METHOD 
 
 Sec. 3. Formula for export sales —(a) 
 Merchant Exporters. If you are a mer¬ 
 chant exporter, your ceiling price on the 
 export sale of any commodity covered by 
 this regulation to any class of buyer shall 
 be either (1) the domestic ceiling price 
 of your supplier applicable to you at 
 point of delivery, plus a percentage 
 markup used in the base period, January 
 1, 1949-June 30, 1950, calculated in ac- 
 
 *For Statements of Consideration see Source File, pages 85 Serv 33 : 1 , 7, 9, 15 and 17. 
 
85 Serv 33:C2 
 
 cordance with section 5 of this regula¬ 
 tion, or (2), your domestic ceiling price 
 to a buyer of the same class. You may 
 add to either of these prices, the costs of 
 exportation incurred by you in connec¬ 
 tion with such sale. 
 
 If you made no base period sales of the 
 commodity or product line you are pric¬ 
 ing to buyers of the class for which you 
 are pricing, your base period percentage 
 markup, when allowed under this sec¬ 
 tion, shall be calculated in accordance 
 with, and otherwise be subject to, sec¬ 
 tion 6 of this regulation. 
 
 [Paragraph (a) amended by Arndt. 2] 
 
 (b) Producer exporters. (1) If you 
 are a producer exporter, your ceiling 
 price for the export sale of any com¬ 
 modity covered by this regulation to any 
 class of foreign buyer, shall be either 
 your domestic ceiling price, at point of 
 delivery, applicable to a sale of the com¬ 
 modity for domestic consumption to a 
 buyer of the same class as the buyer for 
 which you are pricing, or your domestic 
 ceiling price, at point of delivery, to your 
 largest buying class of domestic pur¬ 
 chaser. To the domestic ceiling price 
 chosen by you, add a percentage markup 
 used in the base period January 1, 1949, 
 to June 30, 1950, inclusive, calculated in 
 accordance with section 5 of this regula¬ 
 tion, plus costs of exportation actually 
 incurred by you in connection with such 
 sale. If you made no base period sales 
 of the commodity or product line you are 
 pricing to foreign buyers of the class for 
 which you are pricing, your markup 
 shall be calculated in accordance with 
 section 5 of this regulation but shall be 
 based on other base period sales as pro¬ 
 vided for in section 6 of this regulation. 
 
 [Subparagraph (1) amended by Arndt. 1] 
 
 (2) If you are a producer exporter who 
 sells the commodity you are pricing ex¬ 
 clusively in the export trade, and you 
 have no domestic ceiling price for it, you 
 shall determine your export ceiling price 
 in one of the following ways: 
 
 (i) You may use your export ceiling 
 price under the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation as part of your export ceiling 
 price under Ceiling Price Regulation 61; 
 or 
 
 (ii) You may use a substitute price in 
 lieu of a domestic ceiling price for the 
 purpose of calculating your export ceil¬ 
 ing price under CPR 61. This substitute 
 domestic price shall be determined in ac¬ 
 cordance with the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation, or any other price regula¬ 
 tion applicable to producers of the com¬ 
 modity you are selling, even though you 
 are not pricing, and do not intend pric¬ 
 ing any commodity for domestic sales 
 under that regulation. To this substi¬ 
 tute domestic price you may add a mark¬ 
 up established in accordance with sec¬ 
 tion 6, as well as the costs of exportation 
 incurred by you in connection with such 
 a sale. 
 
 Before you sell at the export ceiling 
 price determined above under this sec¬ 
 tion, you must apply in writing to the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, Export-Im¬ 
 port Branch, Washington 25, D. C., set¬ 
 ting forth fully the price (including 
 GCPR or substitute domestic) and the 
 method and regulation used to establish 
 it. Unless your proposed export ceiling 
 
 price is rejected by the Office of Price 
 Stabilization within ten days of the post¬ 
 marked date of your letter, you may 
 proceed with sales until advised to the 
 contrary. If you have, on January 16, 
 1952, an export ceiling price approved 
 under this regulation for a commodity 
 sold by you exclusively in the export 
 trade, you may continue to use that ceil¬ 
 ing price until you establish another 
 price under this section. 
 
 [Subparagraph (2) amended by Arndt. 2] 
 
 Sec. 4. Formula for sales for export — 
 (a) Merchant exporters. If you are a 
 merchant exporter (seller) your ceiling 
 price on the sale for export of any com¬ 
 modity covered by this regulation and 
 sold by you also in the domestic market 
 shall be your domestic ceiling price at 
 point of delivery to a buyer of the same 
 class as the merchant exporter (buyer) 
 for which you are pricing. If the com¬ 
 modity is sold by you exclusively in the 
 export trade, your ceiling price may in¬ 
 clude either (1) your cost of acquisition 
 plus a markup computed under section 
 5, or (2) your domestic ceiling price at 
 point of delivery if you were to make a 
 domestic sale to a buyer of the same class 
 as the merchant exporter for which you 
 are pricing. You may add to any of the 
 above prices, the costs of exportation in¬ 
 curred by you in connection with such 
 sale. This paragraph is strictly limited 
 by the provisions of section 7 ( Restric¬ 
 tions on multiple handling ) which you 
 should read together with this para¬ 
 graph. 
 
 (b) Producer exporters. (1) If you 
 are a producer exporter, your ceiling 
 price for the sale for export of any com¬ 
 modity covered by this regulation may 
 include your domestic ceiling price at 
 point of delivery to a buyer of the same 
 class as the merchant exporter for which 
 you are pricing, plus a percentage mark¬ 
 up used in the base period and calculated 
 under section 5. You may add to this 
 price the costs of exportation incurred 
 by you in connection with such sale. 
 
 (2) If you are a producer exporter 
 who sells the commodity you are pricing 
 exclusively in the export trade, and you 
 have no domestic ceiling price for it, 
 you shall determine your ceiling price on 
 a sale for export in one of the following 
 ways : 
 
 (i) You may use your ceiling price on 
 sales for export under the General Ceiling 
 Price Regulation as part of your ceiling 
 price on sales for export under Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 61; or 
 
 (ii) You may use a substitute price in 
 lieu of a domestic ceiling price for the 
 purpose of calculating your ceiling price 
 on sales for export of the commodity. 
 This substitute domestic ceiling price 
 shall be determined under the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation or any other 
 price regulation applicable to producers 
 of the commodity you are selling, even 
 though you are not pricing, and do not 
 intend pricing any commodity for do¬ 
 mestic sales under that regulation. To 
 this substitute price you may add a 
 markup established in accordance with 
 section 6, as well as the costs of exporta¬ 
 tion incurred by you in connection with 
 such sale. 
 
 Before you sell at the export price de¬ 
 termined above under this section, you 
 
 must apply in writing to the Office of 
 Price Stabilization, Export - Import 
 Branch, Washington 25, D. C., setting 
 forth fully the price (including GCPR 
 or substitute domestic) and the method 
 and regulation used to establish it. Un¬ 
 less your proposed price on a sale for 
 export is rejected by the Office of Price 
 Stabilization within ten days of the post¬ 
 marked date of your letter, you may pro¬ 
 ceed with sales until advised to the con¬ 
 trary. If you have, on January 16, 1952, 
 a ceiling price on your sales for export 
 approved under this regulation for a 
 commodity sold by you exclusively in the 
 export trade, you may continue to use 
 that price until you establish another 
 ceiling price under this section. 
 
 [Section 4 amended by Amdt. 2) 
 
 Sec. 5. Calculation of base period per¬ 
 centage export markup, (a) If-you are 
 a merchant exporter or a producer ex¬ 
 porter and are entitled to a base period 
 percentage markup under the provisions 
 of section 3 or 4 of this regulation for 
 the sale of a commodity covered by this 
 regulation, such markup shall be cal¬ 
 culated as set forth below. The markup 
 derived for any product line shall be 
 applied to each commodity falling with¬ 
 in such product line (as defined in section 
 15 (b) (14)). 
 
 (1) You shall choose from the base 
 period any representative calendar quar¬ 
 ter you wish for each of the groups of 
 commodities set forth in Schedule B of 
 the Department of Commerce,—A Statis¬ 
 tical Classification of Domestic and For¬ 
 eign Commodities exported from the 
 United States,—dated January 1, 1949, 
 as supplemented. These groups are: 
 Group 00—Animals and Animal Prod¬ 
 ucts, edible; Group 0—Animals and Ani¬ 
 mal Products, inedible; Group 1—Vege¬ 
 table Food Products and Beverages; 
 Group 2 —Vegetable Products, inedible 
 except Fibers and Wood; Group 3—Tex¬ 
 tile Fibers and Manufactures; Group 4— 
 Wood and Paper; Group 5 —Non-metallic 
 Minerals; Group 6—Metals and Manu¬ 
 factures, except Machinery and Vehicles; 
 Group 7 — Machinery and Vehicles; 
 Group 8—Chemicals and Related Prod¬ 
 ucts; and Group 9 — Miscellaneous. 
 However, you may use the same repre¬ 
 sentative quarter for all, or any number 
 of these groups. If you had no sales of 
 the commodity or product line being 
 priced during the representative quarter 
 chosen by you for the group to which the 
 commodity belongs, you shall take your 
 sales for that commodity or product line 
 in a quarter of the base period nearest 
 in time to that representative quarter. 
 
 If you have, on January 16, 1952, a 
 markup calculated in accordance with 
 section 5 of this regulation, you may con¬ 
 tinue to use that markup. You may, 
 however, re-calculate your markup, 
 using the different quarters as author¬ 
 ized under this section. 
 
 If you recalculate or determine for 
 the first time your markup under this 
 section, your report to the Office of Price 
 Stabilization under this regulation must 
 identify the grouping as enumerated and 
 described in this section. 
 
 [ Subparagraph (1) amended by Amdt. 2 ] 
 
 (2) You determine from your records 
 for a representative calendar quarter of 
 
85 Serv 33:C3 
 
 the base period all of your sales of the 
 type upon which your base period 
 markup is to be calculated, i. e., either 
 sales of the commodity or product line 
 you are pricing to the class of buyer for 
 which you are pricing, or sales of a kind 
 you are permitted to use under the pro¬ 
 visions of section 6 of this regulation. 
 
 (3) You then determine the total dol¬ 
 lar sales value of all such sales for each 
 commodity or product line. 
 
 (4) You then select, from such sales, 
 any sale or sales which accounted for at 
 least 25 percent of your total dollar sales 
 value of all such sales, and calculate the 
 weighted average percentage markup 
 reflected in such sales over your base 
 
 (ii) You may select sales # 1 and # 3 
 in order to determine the markup. You 
 may not select either sale # 1 or sale # 3 
 alone, since neither sale alone accounts 
 for twenty-five percent of the total dol¬ 
 lar sales value of base period sales. Tak¬ 
 ing a weighted average of the percent¬ 
 age markups yielded by the two sales 
 (sale # 1 yielding 12% or $24.00 and sale 
 # 3 yielding 10% or $95.00), you obtain 
 a base period percentage markup of 
 10.34% ($24.00+$95.00-^$1,150.00). 
 
 (b) In every case where you, whether 
 merchant exporter or producer exporter, 
 calculate for the first time the percent¬ 
 age markup you are going to use or do 
 use in the export sale or sale for export 
 of a commodity or product line covered 
 by this regulation, you shall furnish the 
 Office of Price Stabilization District Of¬ 
 fice in your area by registered letter with 
 the following information in duplicate: 
 
 (1) The commodity or product line, 
 including a list of the commodities in the 
 product line; 
 
 (2) Whether you are a merchant ex¬ 
 porter, or a producer exporter, or both, 
 in respect to each commodity or product 
 line listed; 
 
 (3) The class of buyer; 
 
 (4) Whether an export sale or sale for 
 export; 
 
 (5) Your representative calendar 
 quarter; and 
 
 (6) The percentage markup you are 
 permitted to use under this regulation. 
 
 (7) If you are not permitted to take 
 a markup, or it is not your present sales 
 policy to take a permissible markup on 
 your export sales or sales for export, you 
 are nevertheless required to report this 
 fact. 
 
 This information shall be reported with¬ 
 in fifteen days after your first sale of the 
 commodity or product line under this 
 regulation, and may be provided on OPS 
 Public Form No. 72 available at any office 
 of the Office of Price Stabilization. Once 
 you have furnished such information for 
 
 period cost of acquisition if you are a 
 merchant exporter, or over your base 
 period domestic selling price if you are 
 a producer exporter, as illustrated in the 
 example below. The result is your per¬ 
 centage markup for sales of the com¬ 
 modity or product line you are pricing 
 to the class of buyer involved. (If you 
 selected a single sale, which accounts 
 for 25 percent or more of your total dol¬ 
 lar sales value of such sales, you may 
 use the percentage markup yielded by 
 that single sale.) 
 
 (i) Example: Suppose the base period 
 sales upon which you are calculating 
 your markup under the provisions of this 
 section were as follows: 
 
 the sale of a particular commodity or 
 product line to a particular class of buyer, 
 you need not again advise the Office of 
 Price Stabilization with respect to your 
 pricing of that type of sale. 
 
 [Paragraphs (b) and (c) deleted by Amdt. 
 2; Paragraph (d) redesignated (b) by Amdt. 
 2, amended by Amdt. 3] 
 
 Sec. 6. Formula where no sales of the 
 type being priced were made during the 
 base period, (a) If you, either merchant 
 exporter or producer exporter, did not 
 sell during the base period the commod¬ 
 ity or product line you are pricing to the 
 class of buyer for which you are pricing, 
 and if you are entitled under the provi¬ 
 sions of section 3 or 4 of this regulation 
 to a markup on such sale, such markup 
 shall be calculated in accordance with 
 section 5 of this regulation but shall be 
 based on base period sales of the type set 
 forth below in the following order of 
 preference: 
 
 (1) Base period sales of the commod¬ 
 ity or product line you are pricing to 
 buyers of the class most closely related to 
 the class for which you are pricing. 
 
 (2) Base period sales of a “compari¬ 
 son commodity” or comparison product 
 line to buyers of the class for which you 
 are pricing. 
 
 (3) Base period sales of a comparison 
 commodity or comparison product line 
 to buyers of the class most closely related 
 to the class for which you are pricing. 
 
 If you calculate your base period per¬ 
 centage markup by reference to one of 
 the types of base period sales set forth 
 above, you shall, before making sales of 
 the commodity or product line you are 
 pricing, advise the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization, Export-Import Branch, Wash¬ 
 ington 25, D. C., by registered letter, and 
 in duplicate, of the markup you propose 
 to use, showing in detail how it was com¬ 
 puted and naming the comparison com¬ 
 modity or comparison product line and/ 
 or class of buyer with respect to which 
 your markup was calculated. The infor¬ 
 
 mation may be provided on a form 
 available at Office of Price Stabilization 
 offices. Unless this proposed markup is 
 rejected by the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion within ten days of the postmarked 
 date of your letter, you may proceed with 
 sales until advised to the contrary. 
 
 (b) If you are unable to compute a 
 markup for the commodity or product 
 line you are pricing, under paragraph 
 (a) of this section, or under any provi¬ 
 sions of this regulation, you may apply 
 in writing to the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, Export-Import Branch, Washing¬ 
 ton 25, D. C., for the establishment of a 
 markup which is in line with the markup 
 currently prevailing in the trade. Your 
 application shall contain (1) an explana¬ 
 tion of why you are unable to compute 
 a markup under this regulation; (2) a 
 complete description of the commodity 
 or product line; (3) the type of sale 
 being priced (i. e., export sale or sale for 
 export) including the class of buyer in¬ 
 volved; (4) the nature of your business; 
 
 (5) the markup, if any, currently pre¬ 
 vailing in the trade for the commodity or 
 product line and how you determined 
 this markup to be the one prevailing; 
 and (6) your proposed markup for the 
 commodity or product line, together with 
 an explanation of the method by which 
 it was computed. The information may 
 be provided on a form available at 
 Office of Price Stabilization offices. Un¬ 
 less this proposed markup is rejected by 
 the Office of Price Stabilization within 
 ten days of the postmarked date of your 
 letter, you may proceed with sales until 
 advised to the contrary. 
 
 ARTICLE HI—GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 
 Sec. 7. Restrictions on multiple han¬ 
 dling. If you are a merchant exporter 
 making a sale for export of a commodity 
 purchased by you from another mer¬ 
 chant exporter, you may not sell at a 
 markup over your domestic ceiling price 
 or your cost of acquisition, whichever is 
 higher, except upon approval of your 
 application for such a markup by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, Export- 
 Import Branch, Washington 25, D. C. 
 This application shall set out your pro¬ 
 posed new ceiling price (including a sep¬ 
 arate statement of your cost of acquisi¬ 
 tion, your domestic ceiling price and 
 your proposed markup) and a full justi¬ 
 fication for your proposed new ceiling 
 price. The Office of Price Stabilization 
 will not allow such markups in the ab¬ 
 sence of a very clear showing of neces¬ 
 sity which is also supported by the cus¬ 
 tomary and reasonable past practice of 
 the applicant. 
 
 [Section 7 amended by Amdt. 2] 
 
 Sec. 8. Transfer of business or stock 
 in trade. If the business, assets, or stock 
 in trade of any business are sold or 
 otherwise transferred after June 30, 
 1950, and the transferee carries on the 
 business in whole or in part, or continues 
 to deal in the same type of commodities, 
 the markups of the transferee shall be 
 the same as those to which the transferor 
 would have been entitled if no such 
 transfer had taken place, and his obliga¬ 
 tion to keep records sufficient to verify 
 such prices shall be the same. The 
 transferor shall either preserve and make 
 available, or turn over to the transferee

 provisions of this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 9. Refunds of duties and taxes. 
 If you are a producer exporter or a 
 merchant exporter, and are computing 
 a ceiling price under section 3 or 4 of 
 this regulation for export sales or sales 
 for export of any commodity covered by 
 this regulation, to the extent provided 
 herein you shall in the case of the pro¬ 
 ducer exporter, subtract from your ap¬ 
 plicable domestic ceiling price f. o. b. 
 your plant, and in the case of the mer¬ 
 chant exporter subtract from the domes¬ 
 tic ceiling price of your supplier or from 
 your domestic ceiling price: 
 
 (a) The amount of any estimated 
 drawback or refund of import duties or 
 excise taxes less the cost incurred in 
 obtaining such amount; 
 
 (b) The amount of any excise tax not 
 paid upon a commodity to be exported or 
 sold for export but included in your ap¬ 
 plicable domestic ceiling price, if you 
 are a producer exporter, or in your do¬ 
 mestic ceiling price, or in the domestic 
 ceiling price of your supplier if you are 
 a merchant exporter; 
 
 (c) Provided, however, That if it was 
 your established and uniform practice 
 during the base period to receive any of 
 the above refunds or taxes for your own 
 account without reducing your export 
 prices accordingly, you may continue to 
 receive them in accordance with such 
 established and uniform practice. 
 
 [Section 9 amended by Amdt. 2] 
 
 Sec. 10. Records, (a) You shall pre¬ 
 serve and keep available for examination 
 by the Office of Price Stabilization for So 
 long as the Defense Production Act is 
 in effect and for two years thereafter 
 those records showing how you deter¬ 
 mined the export markup you charged 
 during the base period, and those records 
 in your possession showing customary 
 price differentials, and the conditions of 
 sale, which you had in effect during the 
 base period. 
 
 (b) You shall prepare and keep avail¬ 
 able for examination by the Office of 
 Price Stabilization for a period of two 
 years records showing for each sale or 
 contract the commodity, the date, the 
 names of the parties thereto, and the 
 prices charged, together with any other 
 records you customarily keep. If you 
 are a merchant exporter, you must also 
 maintain records showing the cost of 
 the commodity or product line to you 
 and the costs of exportation. 
 
 Sec. 11. Exemptions and suspensions. 
 (a) This regulation does not apply: 
 
 (1) To sales of commodities for which 
 export ceiling prices will hereafter be 
 specifically established under other reg¬ 
 ulations or supplements; or 
 
 (2) To sales of commodities which are 
 suspended or exempted from price con¬ 
 trol by regulation of the Office of Price 
 Stabilization irrespective of whether such 
 regulation is by its terms applicable or 
 inapplicable to export transactions. 
 Such suspension or exemption shall be 
 applicable to the same extent to similar 
 sales covered by CPR 61 as though the 
 suspension or exemption in such other 
 
 regulation were specifically applicable to 
 export sales and sales for export. For 
 example, if price controls are suspended 
 under another regulation for domestic 
 sales of a commodity by manufacturers, 
 then export sales and sales for export 
 of such commodity by manufacturers or 
 producer-exporters are suspended from 
 price control under CPR 61; if such sus¬ 
 pension is applicable to domestic sales 
 by wholesalers, then export sales and 
 sales for export by wholesalers or mer¬ 
 chant exporters are suspended from price 
 control under CPR 61. In exclusion of 
 a seller or commodity from the coverage 
 of a regulation because that seller or 
 commodity is covered by another regu¬ 
 lation does not constitute a suspension 
 or exemption from price control within 
 the meaning of this section. 
 
 [Paragraph (a) amended by Amdt. 4] 
 
 (b) Nothing in this regulation shall 
 operate to prevent the performance of 
 a written contract for the export sale 
 of a commodity entered into prior to 
 July 30, 1951, and executed in compli¬ 
 ance with the provisions of any validly 
 existing regulation or order of the Of¬ 
 fice of Price Stabilization, provided that 
 delivery is made on or before December 
 31, 1951. 
 
 (c) This regulation does not apply to 
 export sales of any commodity by the 
 United States Government or any agency 
 thereof. 
 
 (d) This regulation does not apply to 
 export sales of commodities which have 
 been transported into the United States 
 for transshipment abroad and which do 
 not enter into the domestic commerce 
 of the United States and which are 
 either: 
 
 (1) Entered at Customs in transit on 
 a “Transportation and Exportation (TE) 
 entry” or on an "Exportation (Exp.) 
 entry”, or 
 
 (2) Stored in transit in a Customs 
 bonded warehouse or stored in a foreign 
 trade zone. 
 
 (e) This regulation does not apply 
 to export sales of a commodity which 
 has been processed or manufactured in 
 bond under Customs supervision exclu¬ 
 sively from imported materials, which 
 is not withdrawn from bond for do¬ 
 mestic consumption in the United 
 States, and which is subsequently ex¬ 
 ported. 
 
 (f) This regulation does not apply to 
 export sales of a commodity manufac¬ 
 tured or produced from imported textiles 
 or imported metals: Provided, (1) That 
 the constituent imported components 
 thereof make up not less than 90 percent 
 by weight or unit of the exported com¬ 
 modity, and (2) that the Customs Draw¬ 
 back Regulations (Part 22, Customs 
 Regulations of 1943) are complied with 
 in all respects. 
 
 (g) The provisions of this section re¬ 
 ferring to export sales also apply to sales 
 for export. 
 
 [Paragraph (g) added by Amdt. 2] 
 
 Sec. 12. Evasion. Any practice which 
 results in obtaining indirectly a higher 
 price than is permitted by this regulation 
 is a violation of this regulation Such 
 practices include, but are not limited to, 
 devices making use of commission, serv¬ 
 ices. cross sales, transportation arrange¬ 
 
 ments, premiums, discounts, special 
 privileges, tie-in agreements or combi¬ 
 nation sales, and trade understandings. 
 
 Sec. 13. Enforcement. If you violate 
 any provision of this Ceiling Price Regu¬ 
 lation you are subject to the criminal 
 penalties, civil enforcement actions, and 
 suits for treble damages provided for 
 by the Defense Production Act of 1950. 
 
 Sec. 14. Petitions for amendment. If 
 you wish to have this regulation 
 amended, you may file a petition for 
 amendment in accordance with the pro¬ 
 visions of Price Procedural Regulation 1, 
 Revised (16 P. R. 4974).

 construed in the following manner: 
 
 (a) Sellers and buyers —(1) “Producer 
 exporter.” This term means a person 
 who manufacturers, or produces the 
 commodity he exports or sells for export. 
 A person shall, moreover, be considered 
 a producer exporter if the commodity he 
 sells is manufactured either: (i) By an¬ 
 other for his account and to his specifi¬ 
 cation, or (ii) by a parent company, by 
 a controlled producer subsidiary, or by 
 any producer company, controlled di¬ 
 rectly or indirectly by a common parent.

 means a person who is not a producer 
 exporter but who in the normal course of 
 business exports commodities purchased 
 by him for his own account. 
 
 (3) “Exporter.” This term means any 
 person selling a commodity, either di¬ 
 rectly or through an agent, for delivery 
 or shipment to any place outside the 
 continental United States. 
 
 (4) "Class of buyer.” This term means 
 that group of persons to which you sell 
 commodities’covered by this regulation 
 and which you distinguish from other 
 groups of buyers with respect to quantity 
 purchased or trade function. In the 
 case of an export sale, the only permissi¬ 
 ble groupings according to trade func¬ 
 tion shall be: the United States Gov¬ 
 ernment or its agencies; foreign govern¬ 
 ments or their agents, including foreign 
 government purchasing missions; indus¬ 
 trial end users; distributors; wholesalers; 
 retailers; individual consumers; and 
 American firms purchasing for use in 
 foreign field operations. In the case of 
 a sale for export, the only permissible 
 grouping according to function in the 
 trade shall be merchant exporters. 
 [Paragraph (a) amended by Amdt. 2| 
 
 (b) Pricing —(1) “Domestic ceiling 
 
 price of your supplier at point of de¬ 
 livery.” This phrase means the highest 
 price at the point of delivery which a 
 merchant exporter may, under appli¬ 
 cable ceiling price regulations governing 
 domestic sales, pay his supplier for a 
 commodity which the merchant exporter 
 subsequently exports or sells for export. 
 
 (2) "Base period percentage mark¬ 
 up.” This term means a percentage 
 markup calculated in accordance with 
 section 5 of this regulation based on 
 sales during the base period, and rep¬ 
 resenting, in the case of a producer ex¬ 
 porter, the differential between base 
 period domestic and export selling prices 
 exclusive of costs of exportation for a 
 commodity or product line, and in the 
 
85 Serv 33:C5 
 
 case of a merchant exporter, the base 
 period margin between his costs of ac¬ 
 quiring a commodity or product line for 
 exportation purposes and his export sell¬ 
 ing price therefor exclusive of costs of 
 exportation. 
 
 (3) " Commodity." This term means 
 materials, articles, products, supplies, 
 and their components. 
 
 (4) “Product line.” This term means 
 all goods of the same general character 
 and use which are normally classed to¬ 
 gether in your business for purposes of 
 accounting or sales. You may, for ex¬ 
 ample, have your product line, under this 
 regulation, include a line of goods such 
 as one of the following: Cups selling at 
 $0.10-$0.50, all cups, all cups and saucers, 
 all chinaware. You shall list, in your 
 report to the Office of Price Stabilization, 
 all the commodities included in the prod¬ 
 uct line. 
 
 [Subparagraph (4) amended by Arndt. 2] 
 
 (5> “Comparison commodity.” This 
 term means a commodity exported or 
 sold for export by you during the base 
 period, which has general characteristics 
 and use similar to those of the commod¬

 tics and use, choose the commodity hav¬ 
 ing a current unit direct cost closest to 
 that of the commodity you are pricing. 
 
 (6) “Base period domestic selling 
 price.” This term means your (producer 
 exporter’s) domestic selling price during 
 the base period (to the same class of 
 buyer of the commodity). This domes¬ 
 tic selling price must be the one you were 
 using at the time of each export sale or 
 sale for export on the basis of which you 
 calculate your markup under section 5 
 of this regulation. 
 
 [Subparagraph (6) amended by Arndt. 2] 
 
 (7) “Base period cost of acquisition.” 
 This term means the actual cost to you, 
 a merchant exporter, during the base 
 period, of the commodity for which you 
 are calculating your markup under sec¬ 
 tion 5 of this regulation. 
 
 (8) “Costs of exportation.” This term 
 includes costs other than sales commis¬ 
 sions actually incurred in or in connec¬ 
 tion with the export sale or sale for ex¬ 
 port- of a commodity, over and above 
 those incurred and included in the ap¬ 
 plicable domestic ceiling price if the 
 commodity were sold for domestic con¬ 
 sumption, including but not limited to 
 
 the following: (i) Export packaging, (il) 
 local drayage, including waiting time at 
 the dock, loading and unloading, toll- 
 age, switching, dumping, and trimming, 
 lighterage and wharfage, (iii) inland 
 freight in the continental United States 
 and in the country of delivery (at the 
 export rate where applicable), (iv) ocean

 OVERCEILING INVOICES 
 Scope of OPS permissive order 
 
 An order issued under Section 2(b) of Ceiling Price Regulation 61 permitted an 
 exporter to over-invoice a shipment of air conditioner parts to a customer of his 
 distributor in Teheran, Iran. Some of the parts for which such permission was ob¬ 
 tained were not available for shipment and were therefore not included when the 
 actual shipment of parts was made. These parts are now available and the exporter 
 inquired whether permission in the order is sufficient to enable him to over-invoice 
 the supplementary shipment. 
 
 The order was intended to grant permission with respect to all the parts re¬ 
 ferred to in the application for which he had received specific purchase orders, 
 limited to the type and quantity of parts covered by such order and intended to con¬ 
 stitute a single shipment. 
 
 The unavailability of some parts for inclusion in a single shipment would not 
 operate to limit the permission of the order only to those parts actually included in 
 the first shipment. A supplementary shipment of such parts, when available, would 
 still be deemed to constitute a part of that shipment for which the order was issued. 
 
 This does not extend the order nor increase its applicability beyond the spe¬ 
 cific types and quantities of parts referred to in the application. It is understood, 
 of course, that further shipments of similar parts to fill additional purchase orders 
 would not be covered by this order.

 EXPORTS BY RETAILERS 
 
 Applicability of domestic ceiling prices 
 
 An interpretation has been requested of the applicability of Ceiling Price Regulation 
 61 to the following types of retail operations: 
 
 (1) Sales where a resident of a foreign country visits the store, 
 makes a purchase, and then has the store deliver it either 
 in its own truck, or by mail or public carrier; 
 
 (2) Sales in response to mail orders received from residents of 
 foreign countries, whether by regular charge account customer 
 or consumer in response to an ad; 
 
 ( 3 ) Sales made to residents of the United States for delivery to ~ 
 relatives in the foreign country. 
 
 It is stated that it has been the practices of retail stores to consider these sales 
 as normal retail transactions. 
 
 The types of sales referred to in (l) and (2) above are governed by CPR 61. However, 
 Section 3(a) of CPR 61 permits the retailer to continue to treat the above operations 
 as normal domestic retail sales. These sales may be made at prices not exceeding the 
 domestic ceiling price established by the applicable retail regulation, other than 
 CPR 61. To this may be added cost of exportations. The retailer should, however, re¬ 
 port to this Agency under Section 5 of CPR 61 the fact that he is selling to persons 
 outside the United States at prices not in excess of his domestic ceiling prices. 
 
 The sales referred to in operation (3) above are not governed by CPR 61. They are 
 domestic sales and are to be priced and reported under the applicable domestic retail 
 regulation.

 VIOLATION 
 
 Increase in base period or section 6 markup 
 
 There is no provision in CPR 61 that permits an exporter who has a base period 
 markup to change this markup. Nor is there any provision that permits an exporter 
 who has applied for and proposed a markup under Section 6 of CPR 61 to change this ma 
 markup after this markup becomes effective. 
 
 It is, therefore, improper for an exporter to increase his export markups.. 
 
 Sales made on the basis of an increased markup may be considered a violation 
 of the provisions of Ceiling Price Regulation 61.

 SR 1—CEILING PRICES FOR EXPORTERS TO 
 TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization General Order No. 2 (16 
 F. R. 738), this supplementary regulation 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 61 is hereby 
 Issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This supplementary regulation to Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation 61 is designed to 
 permit persons making sales or ship¬ 
 ments from the continental United 
 States to purchasers in a territory or 
 possession of the United States to re¬ 
 ceive the percentage markup which they 
 received during the base period, January 
 1, 1949 to June 30, 1950, on their sales 
 of each commodity or product line to 
 each such territory or possession. 
 
 Technically and in the dictionary 
 sense shipments to territories and pos¬ 
 sessions may not be “exports.” Some 
 exporters, however, ship both to foreign 
 markets and to the territories and pos¬ 
 sessions. Many of them handle both 
 types of shipments in their “export de¬ 
 partments”. For convenience only, ship¬ 
 ments to territories and possessions are 
 being designated “exports” although 
 territories and possessions are more 
 widely regarded as part of the domestic 
 market than otherwise. 
 
 Producer and merchant exporters 
 shipping to territorial purchasers or re¬ 
 ceivers are permitted to calculate their 
 markups pursuant to the provisions of 
 section 5 of CPR 61, except that the 
 markup is to be calculated separately for 
 each territory and possession. A mark¬ 
 up may be received on sales of a com¬ 
 modity or product line to a particular 
 territory or possession only if such a 
 markup was received by the producer or 
 merchant exporter during the base pe¬ 
 riod. If he had no markup in the base 
 period, the producer or merchant ex¬ 
 porter may apply to the Office of Price 
 Stabilization for a markup but he may 
 not take it unless he first obtains the 
 approval of OPS. 
 
 Those who ship a commodity custom¬ 
 arily to a territory or possession without 
 
 special markup must continue to do so. 
 Such shippers, however, have the choice 
 of determining their applicable ceiling 
 prices and related obligations either ex¬ 
 clusively under this supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation or exclusively under the appli¬ 
 cable domestic ceiling price regulation, 
 if any. 
 
 Formal consultation with representa¬ 
 tives of industry has not been practica¬ 
 ble but many individual views expressed 
 informally to this Office requested action 
 in the nature of this supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation.

 Section 1. What this supplementary 
 regulation does. This supplementary 
 regulation provides a method for deter¬ 
 mining ceiling prices on sales or ship¬ 
 ments made by a seller or shipper of a 
 commodity shipped or to be shipped from 
 the continental United States to a pur¬ 
 chaser or receiver in a territory or pos¬ 
 session of the United States when the 
 commodity sold is not physically located 
 in a territory or possession at the time 
 of sale. 
 
 Sec. 2. Sales to territorial purchasers. 
 If you sell or ship a commodity, shipped 
 or to be shipped from the continental 
 United States and not physically located 
 in the territory or possession at the tflne 
 of such sale or shipment, to a buyer or 
 receiver in a territory or possession of 
 the United States, you may take on that 
 sale or shipment a markup not in ex¬ 
 cess of the percentage markup taken by 
 you during the base period on sales of 
 that commodity or product line to that 
 particular territory or possession. The 
 markup is to be calculated under section 
 5 of Ceiling Price Regulation 61 as modi¬ 
 fied by this supplementary regulation. 
 The markup on sales of a commodity or 
 product line shall be calculated sepa¬ 
 rately for each territory or possession. 
 You may include in your export ceiling 
 price on such sales the costs of exporta¬ 
 tion incurred by you in connection with 
 the sales. 
 
 Sec. 3. Shippers who apply under sec¬ 
 tion 6 of CPR 61. A shipper to a terri¬ 
 tory or possession who made no ship¬ 
 ments of a particular commodity or prod¬ 
 uct line during the base period may ap¬ 
 ply for a markup under section 6 of 
 CPR 61. The applicant shall also state 
 the commodities or product lines pre¬ 
 viously shipped to' the territories and 
 possessions and the customary markups 
 if any on such commodities or product 
 lines shipped to each territory and pos¬ 
 session. Until the application has been 
 specifically approved by order of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, no markup 
 may be taken by the applicant. 
 
 Sec. 4. Shippers to territories and pos¬ 
 sessions whose prices are customarily the 
 same as their domestic prices. If you 
 customarily shipped a commodity to a 
 particular territory or possession without 
 markup above your domestic price you 
 must continue to do so. If under those 
 circumstances you wish to determine 
 your ceiling prices for a commodity, 
 shipped to a territory or possession, and 
 related obligations under an applicable 
 domestic ceiling price regulation you 
 may do so without regard to this supple¬ 
 ment or CPR 61. 
 
 Sec. 5. Definitions. The terms used in 
 this Supplementary Regulation to CPR 
 61 shall be construed in the following 
 manner: 
 
 (a) “Territory or possession” or “ter¬ 
 ritory or possession of the United States” 
 means Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto 
 Rico, Samoa, and the Virgin Islands. 
 
 (b) “Time of sale” means the time at 
 which the parties make a legally binding 
 agreement to buy and sell or to ship and 
 receive. 
 
 (c) “Applicable domestic ceiling 
 price” means ceiling price established 
 by the Office of Price Stabilization for 
 shipment to the territories and posses¬ 
 sions. 
 
 Sec. 6. Miscellaneous. Except as 
 herein modified, all the provisions of 
 CPR 61 remain in effect with reference 
 to sales made under this supplementary 
 regulation. 
 
 Effective date. This supplementary 
 regulation to CPR 61 shall become effec- 
 time on January 16, 1952. 
 
 Note: The record-keeping and reporting 
 requirements of this supplementary regula¬ 
 tion have been approved by the Bureau of 
 the Budget in accordance with the Federal 
 Reports Act of 1942.

 Export Sales of 
 GR-S Type 
 Synthetic Rubber

 CPR 61—Exports 
 
 SR 2—EXPORT SALES OF GR-S TYPE 
 SYNTHETIC RUBBER 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 as amended, Executive Order 
 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), and Economic Sta¬ 
 bilization General Order No. 2 (16 P. R. 
 738), this Supplementary Regulation 2 
 to Ceiling Price Regulation 61 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Supplementary Regulation 2 to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 61 establishes 
 ceiling prices on export sales of GR^-S 
 type synthetic rubber (butadiene-styrene 
 copolymer). 
 
 The sole source of this rubber today 
 in the United States is the Reconstruc¬ 
 tion Finance Corporation. The RPC in¬ 
 tends to allocate a substantial tonnage 
 quarterly of GR^-S type synthetic rubber 
 for export from the United States. 
 Hitherto, GRr-S was exported from the 
 United States in very insignificant quan¬ 
 tities. Consequently, exporters have lit¬ 
 tle base period experience from which 
 they can compute a base period markup. 
 It is necessary, therefore, that OPS es¬ 
 tablish such markup. 
 
 The world price of natural rubber is 
 quoted currently at about $0.38. The 
 GRr-S rubber to be allocated by the RPC 
 for export is a satisfactory substitute for 
 natural rubber. However, the cost price 
 at which the RPC will sell the GR-S rub¬ 
 ber to the exporters is much lower than 
 the world market price for natural 
 rubber. 
 
 In view of the high world price of rub¬ 
 ber, relatively little selling effort and 
 
 financial risk are required on the part 
 of the American exporter who is selling 
 GR-S rubber. This supplementary reg¬ 
 ulation limits, therefore, the markup 
 that can be taken by these exporters to 
 3 percent over their cost of acquisition 
 on sales by the exporters in quantities 
 equivalent to carload lots and 3 Vi per¬ 
 cent on sales in quantities less than car¬ 
 load lots. These markups are consid¬ 
 ered to be equitable and customary in 
 the export trade for export sales of a 
 commodity when the world demand for 
 the commodity renders relatively insig¬ 
 nificant the selling effort and risk re¬ 
 quired to accomplish the sales. 
 
 To the export ceiling price established 
 by this supplementary regulation may 
 be added the actual costs of exportation. 
 These costs are defined in section 3 so 
 that the exporter may only take actual 
 packaging, freight, lighterage and in¬ 
 surance costs experienced by him. 
 
 In the formulation of this regulation 
 there has been consultation with repre¬ 
 sentatives of industry, including trade 
 association representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations.

 (butadiene-styrene copolymer). 
 
 Sec. 2. Ceiling prices on export sales 
 of GR-S type of synthetic rubber. The 
 
 ceiling price on an export sale of a GRr-S 
 type of synthetic rubber shall be your 
 cost of acquisition, plus a markup over 
 your cost of acquisition, of 3 percent for 
 shipments by you in quantities equiva¬ 
 lent to carload lots and 3 Vi percent for 
 shipments in quantities less than carload 
 lots. The cost of acquisition used in this 
 computation must not exceed the ceiling 
 price for sales of the GR-S type of syn¬ 
 thetic rubber by the Office of Rubber 
 Reserve. Reconstruction Finance Corpo¬

 2 of this supplementary regulation, you 
 may add the following actual costs: (a) 
 Actual special packaging charges which 
 may be made by the Reconstruction Fi¬ 
 nance Corporation, (b) actual inland 
 freight charges made by the Reconstruc¬ 
 tion Finance Corporation, but not more 
 than $1.00 per cwt. for carload lots, and

 SR 3-CEILING PRICES FOR SULFUR MINED BY 
 
 NON-FRASCH METHODS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Sup¬ 
 plementary Regulation 3 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 61 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This supplementary regulation to 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 61 provides for 
 the establishment or adjustment of ceil¬ 
 ing prices for export sales and sales for 
 export of sulfur, produced and mined 
 from sulfur deposits, by methods other 
 than the Frasch method, to reflect the 
 greater costs involved in the production 
 of sulfur • by non-Frasch methods and 
 the greater costs resulting from the more 
 impure deposits which are involved. 
 The production of sulfur by the Frasch 
 process is at capacity level. Increased 
 domestic production is necessitated by 
 the greatly increased demand in both 
 domestic and foreign markets. The 
 United States is the prime supplier of 
 sulfur in world markets and sulfur at 
 present is in critical short supply for 
 defense and civilian requirements. 
 These requirements have resulted in the 
 domestic allocation of sulfur to produc¬ 
 tion and use on the basis of 90 percent 
 of the 1950 consumption. The inade¬ 
 quacy of the total current supply of sul¬ 
 fur is recognized by the National Pro¬ 
 duction Authority which is encouraging 
 the production of sulfur from all avail¬ 
 able sources. 
 
 Sulfur is produced today by the Frasch 
 process or is recovered from sour gases 
 or crude oil in the petroleum industry. 
 There is at present only limited produc¬ 
 tion of mined sulfur by non-Frasch 
 methods, primarily because of the sub¬ 
 stantially greater costs involved in this 
 method of production which necessitates 
 much higher selling prices than existing 
 ceiling prices. These deposits are con¬ 
 siderably less pure than the deposits 
 which lend themselves to the Frasch 
 method of extraction and thus involve 
 greater extraction costs. 
 
 Expansion of the present sources of 
 supply of sulfur cannot be achieved with¬ 
 out this incremental production at sig¬ 
 nificantly greater unit costs. 
 
 There are existing sulfur deposits in 
 several areas of the United States. These 
 deposits contain a relatively low percent¬ 
 
 age of sulfur and the ore must be, when 
 mined, beneflciated to increase the sulfur 
 content to an economic level in order to 
 be sold in existing markets. The cost of 
 production, therefore, is generally much 
 higher than existing ceiling prices for 
 sales of elemental sulfur produced by the 
 Frasch process or recovered from sour 
 natural gas or waste refinery gases in 
 the petroleum industry. It can be ex¬ 
 pected that all of the incremental mined 
 sulfur produced by non-Frasch methods 
 will be sold in the export markets where 
 world prices for sulfur are substantially 
 higher than the prevailing ceiling prices 
 for sulfur in the United States. This 
 supplementary regulation will, therefore, 
 permit increased production of elemental 
 sulfur for the export trade with a mini¬ 
 mum effect on the prevailing price level 
 in the United States. 
 
 This supplementary regulation pro¬ 
 vides, upon application, for the establish¬ 
 ment or adjustment of ceiling prices for 
 export sales and sales for export of sulfur 
 so produced. 
 
 Since the estimated increases in unit 
 costs will be based on anticipated ex¬ 
 penditures, the producer receiving an 
 authorized ceiling price or an adjustment 
 of his ceiling jrice will be required, in 
 all cases, to file a detailed report of the 
 actual cost experience for the sixth full 
 month of production and a report of the 
 average production costs for the first six 
 full months of production. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the provisions of this 
 supplementary regulation are generally 
 fair and equitable and are necessary to 
 effectuate the purposes of the Defense 
 Production Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 In view of the remedial nature of this 
 supplementary regulation, special cir¬ 
 cumstances have rendered consultations 
 with industry representatives, including 
 trade -association representatives, im¬ 
 practical.

 Section 1. What this supplementary 
 regulation does. This supplementary 
 regulation applies to producers of ele¬ 
 mental sulfur mined in the United States 
 by other than the Frasch method and 
 provides for the establishment of ceiling 
 prices or the adjustment of ceiling prices 
 
 for all their export sales and sales for 
 export of such sulfur. The General Ceil¬ 
 ing Price Regulation continues to be 
 applicable to all other sales of such 
 sulfur. 
 
 Sec. 2. How to apply tor establishment 
 or adjustment of ceiling price. If you 
 are a producer of sulfur mined from de¬ 
 posits in the United States by other than 
 the Frasch method, and do not have a 
 ceiling price established for export sales 
 or sales for export of that sulfur, you 
 may apply for the establishment of a 
 ceiling price under this supplementary 
 regulation instead of establishing a ceil¬ 
 ing price under Ceiling Price Regulation 
 61. If you already have a ceiling price 
 established for export sales or sales for 
 export of such sulfur, you may apply 
 for an adjustment of that ceiling price 
 under this supplementary regulation. 
 Your signed application should be filed 
 with the Office of Price Stabilization, 
 Rubber, Chemicals and Drugs Division, 
 Washington 25, D. C. 
 
 Sec. 3. Contents of application. Your 
 application shall set forth the following: 
 
 (a) Name and address of applicant 
 and location of the sulfur deposit; the 
 nature of applicant’s interest therein, 
 e. g„ fee simple, leasehold, rental agree¬ 
 ment, etc., accompanied by a copy of the 
 instrument by which the interest was 
 acquired; and a statement of the acqui¬ 
 sition cost of the property or rental terms 
 if under lease, with dates of acquisition 
 and, in the case of a lease, of its expira¬ 
 tion.

 (3) The physical description and grade 
 of the ore, including the percentage of 
 contained sulfur in the ore. 
 
 (d) A breakdown of the actual capital 
 investment in plant and equipment re¬ 
 quired to achieve the sulfur production 
 stated in paragraph (c) above. This 
 investment should be valued at acquisi¬ 
 tion cost. Where the equipment has 
 been used, deduct from the acquisition 
 cost the normal depreciation resulting 
 from the use of the equipment. Where 
 the plant and equipment have not yet 
 been purchased, submit a breakdown of 
 
85 Serv 33:502 
 
 estimated acquisition cost erected at 
 plant site. 
 
 (e) The estimated book value of the

 Sec. 4. Action by the Director, (a) If 
 the Director finds that you cannot rea¬ 
 sonably be expected to produce or to 
 continue to produce sulfur from your 
 deposit for expqrt sales or sales for ex¬ 
 port at ceiling prices which would have 
 been provided by regulations otherwise 
 applicable and that the sulfur which you 
 produce is required by the world mar¬ 
 ket, he may establish a ceiling price or 
 adjust your ceiling prices for your export 
 sales or sales for export of such sulfur, 
 taking into consideration the cost of pro¬ 
 ducing and selling the sulfur. The Di¬ 
 rector’s order may also establish ceiling 
 prices for export sales of your sulfur by 
 merchant exporters. Your ceiling prices 
 for sales of such sulfur in the United 
 States are established by the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation and will not be 
 changed by the Director’s order. 
 
 (b) The Director may request such 
 further information as he may deem 
 necessary to a proper determination of 
 your application.

 sulfur established or adjusted under this 
 
 supplementary regulation, and who 
 makes a sale or sales of such sulfur to a 
 merchant exporter shall furnish the mer¬ 
 chant exporter an invoice or a .i accom¬ 
 panying statement, for each sale, show¬ 
 ing his ceiling prices which have been 
 established or adjusted for export sales 
 and sales for export under this supple¬ 
 mentary regulation, and a statement 
 that his ceiling prices were established 
 or adjusted under this supplementary 
 regulation.

 INSTRUCTIONS AND DEFINITIONS 
 
 This Reporting Form is to be used by those exporters only who had a base period markup on their base period sales 
 of the commodity or product line whose markup is being reported herein. 
 
 This Reporting Form may be used to report the markup for different commodities and product lines if the other Items 
 on the Form have identical answers. 
 
 If your class of buyer is a merchant exporter, you may use this Form in applying under Section 7 of CPR 61 for 
 approval of your markup. You may not take this markup until you receive this approval. 
 
 This Report is to be filed within 15 days after first sale of commodity. To be filed in duplicate and mailed by 
 registered letter to the Office of Price Stabilization, Export-Import Branch, Washington 25, D. C. 
 
 Base period percentage markup. This term means a percentage markup, calculated in accordance with Section 5 of 
 this regulation. This markup is based on sales during the base period. It represents, in the case of a producer 
 exporter, the differential between base period domestic and export selling prices for a commodity or product line, 
 exclusive of costs of exportation. In the case of a merchant exporter, it represents the base period margin between 
 his costs of acquiring a commodity or product line for expc'tation purposes and his export selling price therefor, 
 exclusive of costs of exportation. 
 
 Your base period percentage markup must be a weighted average percentage markup. In computing this markup 
 employ the following procedure: Determine 25% of total sales for the commodity during the representative base 
 period quarter. Total the dollars and cents markups of these sales so selected and divide this total by your total 
 costs of acquisition or by the total of your applicable domestic selling prices for the commodities in this 25% sales 
 group. The resulting figure will constitute your weighted average percentage markup. 
 
 Class of Buyer. This term refers to the following: foreign governments or their agents; industrial end users; 
 distributors; wholesalers; retailers; individual consumers; and American firms purchasing for use in foreign field 
 operations. 
 
 Commodity. This term means materials, articles, products, supplies and their components. Any group of these 
 items may be considered to be a commodity if the items were customarily referred to and treated during the base 
 period as a single commodity and were sold under one markup. 
 
 Export Sale. This term means the sale of a commodity to a person located outside the continental United States 
 or a territory or possession of the United States, and which is shipped to the purchaser outside the continental 
 United States or a territory or possession of the United States, regardless of where the invoicing is done. 
 
 Merchant Exporter. This term means a person who is not a producer exporter but who exports commodities pur¬ 
 chased by him for his own account. 
 
 Producer Exporter. This term means a person who manufactures or produces the commodities he exports. 
 
 Product line. This term means all goods of the same general character and use which are normally classed to¬ 
 gether in your business for purposes of accounting or sales, and to which the same markup was applied in de¬ 
 termining selling prices during the base period. You may, for example, have your product line under this regu¬ 
 lation include a line of goods such as one of the following: Cups selling at $.10-$.50, all cups, all cups and 
 saucers, all chinaware. The product line should be adequately described to indicate to the ordinary purchaser that 
 a particular product line as reported to the Office of Price Stabilization includes a definite commodity being sold 
 by you. 
 
 Sale for Export. This term means a sale to a buyer located in the continental United States or a territory or 
 possession of the United States of a commodity destined for export and subsequent shipment, without resale, to 
 any place outside the continental United States or a territory or possession of the United States.

 INSTRUCTIONS AND DEFINITIONS 
 
 This revised application Form 73 is to be used by an 
 exporter only who had no base period sales to the class of 
 buyer he is selling of the commodity or product line 
 described in Item 9 of the application, and who is entitled 
 to apply for a markup under Section 6 of CPR 61. Copies 
 of this form are available at all Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion field offices. 
 
 This application is to be sent in duplicate, by 
 registered letter to the National Office of the Office of 
 Price Stabilization, Foreign Trade Branch, Washington 
 25, D. C. With the exception of applications for markups 
 to the territories and possessions of the United States, 
 unless your proposed markup is rejected by this Office 
 within ten days of the postmarked date of your letter, you 
 may proceed with sales until advised to the contrary. 
 Sales to the territories and possessions of the United

 Export Sale. This term means the sale of a commodity 
 for direct shipment to a buyer located 
 outside the continental United States 
 without resale in the continental United 
 States. Sales to a foreign government 
 purchasing mission, or to an American 
 firm purchasing for use in its foreign 
 field operations shall be considered to be 
 export sales.

 the source of your information on the currently prevailing 
 markup. 
 
 ITEM 12. In reply to this question take into consideration 
 your answers to all previous questions. This proposed 
 percentage markup should be a fixed percentage, and not 
 approximations or minimum-maximum ranges. You may 
 take a different markup on account of unit or dollar vol¬ 
 ume sold, or on account of the function performed in the 
 trade by your buyer, or both. 
 
 ITEM 12A. Producer Exporters may apply the proposed 
 markup, when effective, to their domestic ceiling price 
 under the conditions prescribed in Section 3(b)(1) and 
 1(b)(1)* as amended. 
 
 Producer Exporter s pricing a commodity being sold ex 
 clusively in the export trade, for which they have no do¬ 
 mestic ceiling price, shall determine their export ceiling

 by letter, in duplicate, to the National Office of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization, Foreign Trade Branch, Washington 
 25, D. C. This form should not be used for that purpose. 
 
 Merchant Exporters may price export sates and sales 
 for export as follows: In the event that the commodity 
 is sold in the domestic market the domestic ceiling 
 price must be used as the export ceiling price on sales 
 for export (made to Merchant Exporters). The use of 
 such domestic ceiling prices as export ceiling prices 
 must be reported as provided in Section 3. Merchant 
 Exporters may apply their proposed markup, when ef¬ 
 fective, to their ^ales, only as follows: (1) On export 
 sales, to the domestic ceiling price of their supplier to 
 them; (2) On sales for export of a commodity sold ex¬ 
 clusively in the export trade, to their cost of acquisition.

 (Celling Price Regulation 64( 
 
 CPR 64—Tire Mileage 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Public Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 as amended, Executive Order 10161 (15 
 P. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Ceiling Price Regulation 64 is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Many bus and taxicab operators rent 
 the tires and tubes used by them from 
 suppliers who usually manufacture the 
 tires and tubes as well as service them for 
 the users. This relationship is referred 
 to as the tire mileage business. This is 
 strictly a service business as title to the 
 tires and tubes never leaves the manu¬ 
 facturer. In most cases all phases of 
 service are involved, such as inspection, 
 mounting, repairing, etc. 
 
 The usual industry practice for pricing 
 this service is to negotiate a contract 
 between the manufacturer and the mile¬ 
 age operator for relatively long periods 
 of time, never less than a year, and often 
 running two to five years. Various base 
 rates are established taking into con¬ 
 sideration the individual operating con¬ 
 ditions, the size of the tire to be used, the 
 type of equipment which the operator 
 has in service, and the type of roads 
 travelled. In addition to these base 
 rates, an adjustment clause generally 
 applies to each contract permitting in¬ 
 creases or decreases of the base rate for 
 changes in these two primary factors: 
 
 (1) The cost of rubber. 
 
 (2) The cost of rayon and/or cotton. 
 Furthermore, should the average mileage 
 delivered exceed the pre-determined ex¬ 
 pectations, there are usually provisions 
 which allow bonuses to the operator; and 
 there is usually a provision relating to 
 disposal of the tires at termination of 
 the contract. 
 
 A tire mileage contract therefore does 
 not permit any adjustment for labor 
 increases, general overhead and admin¬ 
 istrative increases, advertising, trans¬ 
 portation or any other cost increases 
 except increases in the cost of the major 
 raw materials, rubber, rayon and cotton. 
 
 This regulation freezes the particular 
 supplier’s base rates at the general level 
 of the base period. December 19, 1950, to 
 January 25, 1951, the same base period 
 used under the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation and Ceiling Price Regulation 
 34, but allows for adjustments to reflect 
 changes in the cost of the raw materials, 
 rubber, rayon and cotton, from their 
 
 cost at the time of the execution of the 
 contract to their cost during subsequent 
 accounting periods stated in the con¬ 
 tract. It provides for new suppliers and 
 new accounts by keeping the new con¬ 
 tracts in line with the rest of the indus¬ 
 try. Each operator is considered a 
 separate class of purchaser because of 
 the many differences in rating elements 
 and their costs involved in each contract. 
 In so doing, normal and established 
 pricing methods for this service industry 
 are maintained. 
 
 As a result of this regulation, there 
 will be no immediate change in the cost 
 of this service since the base rates of 
 existing contracts are frozen and costs 
 of the major raw materials, which are 
 the bases for adjustments of the base 
 rates for the immediate future, have not 
 changed significantly since the freeze 
 date. Cost changes are expected in 
 these raw materials, however, and these 
 will be passed on to the operator ac¬ 
 cordingly. 
 
 When the rates in the tire mileage 
 industry were frozen by the General 
 Ceiling Price Regulation and Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 34, there was no pro¬ 
 vision for changes in the costs of the 
 two major raw materials which repre¬ 
 sent more than half the cost of the tire. 
 Therefore, if the costs of these raw ma¬ 
 terials increased, suppliers would have 
 their profit margins cut substantially or 
 eliminated entirely since this industry 
 operates on a comparatively small profit 
 margin. This would be undesirable since 
 most large bus and taxicab operators 
 use this service and the automotive 
 transportation industry would be seri¬ 
 ously disrupted. Under these contracts 
 operators pay for their tires as they use 
 them, in a more or less direct ratio, with 
 no large capital outlay, such as would 
 be required if they were compelled to 
 buy their tires outright. 
 
 On the other hand, if the costs of these 
 raw materials decreased, this decrease 
 would not be passed on to the operator. 
 This would be undesirable since most bus 
 and taxicab rates are set by some public 
 official or body and most petitions by 
 operators for an increase or decrease in 
 rate are based upon a rise or fall in the 
 cost of operation. Thus a decrease in 
 the cost of tire mileage might be reflected 
 in a reduction in operators’ charges or 
 would offset other cost increases of the 
 operator. 
 
 The Director of Price Stabilization 
 considers both existing alternatives un¬ 
 desirable. Accordingly, in order to pass 
 on certain decreases in costs to the op¬ 
 erator and permit the supplier to con¬ 
 tinue this service by compensating him 
 for increases in the costs of the major 
 raw materials only, this regulation per¬ 
 mits increases and requires decreases in 
 costs to be passed on to the operator and 
 
 all other cost increases or decreases to 
 be absorbed by the supplier by the in¬ 
 clusion of an escalator clause in all tire 
 mileage contracts, which is the normal 
 industry practice. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization, this regulation is 
 generally fair and equitable and will ef¬ 
 fectuate the purposes of the Defense 
 Production Act of 1950. 
 
 In formulating this regulation, the Di¬ 
 rector has consulted with representatives 
 of industry to the extent practicable un¬ 
 der the circumstances and has given 
 consideration to their recommendations.

 Section 1. Coverage. This regulation 
 applies to transactions between you, if 
 you supply tire mileage, and the person 
 who buys such tire mileage from you, 
 hereinafter referred to as the “operator”. 
 “Tire mileage” as used in this regulation 
 means the supplying and servicing of 
 tires for an operator at a rate per mile. 
 “Tires” as used in this regulation refers 
 to pneumatic rubber tires and tubes and 
 any flaps that are used therewith. Each 
 individual operator is to be considered a 
 separate class of purchaser. This regu¬ 
 lation does not apply to the renting of 
 vehicles where a charge for the tires or 
 tubes is included in the rental charge for 
 the vehicle. This regulation applies in 
 the 48 States and the District of Colum¬ 
 bia, but not in the territories and pos¬ 
 sessions of the United States. 
 
 Sec. 2. How to determine your ceiling 
 rate. The ceiling rate for tire mileage as 
 defined in section I above is determined 
 as follows: 
 
 (a) If at any time during the base pe¬ 
 riod, which is December 19, 1950, to Jan¬ 
 uary 25, 1951, you had in effect a tire 
 mileage contract with an operator, your 
 ceiling rate for tire mileage to that oper¬ 
 ator is the rate computed pursuant to the 
 provisions of such contract so long as 
 you supply tire mileage to that operator. 
 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions 
 of section 2 (a) above, on and after 
 September 1, 1951, no payments shall 
 be made on any tire mileage contract 
 unless it includes adjustments pursuant 
 
85 Serv 34:2 
 
 to a clause which passes on to the oper¬ 
 ator increases or decreases in the cost 
 of rubber, rayon and cotton and was 
 either in effect during the base period 
 or approved by the Director of Price 
 Stabilization. 
 
 If you had no such clause in a tire 
 mileage contract in effect during the 
 base period you may apply in writing to 
 the Rubber Branch, Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization, Washington 25, D. C., propos¬ 
 ing such a clause for inclusion in your 
 ceiling rate computations for such con¬ 
 tract. This application shall contain a 
 proposed adjustment clause and an ex¬ 
 planation of your methods of computa¬ 
 tion contained therein. You should 
 submit comparative data if available, 
 on your other such adjustment clauses, 
 if any, and competitive supplier’s ad¬ 
 justment clauses in effect during the 
 base period to similar operators. 
 
 You may not use the proposed clause 
 until 15 days after mailing your appli¬ 
 cation; thereafter, unless and until 
 notified by the Director of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation that your proposed clause has 
 been disapproved or that more informa¬ 
 tion is required your proposed clause 
 shall be deemed approved. In the event 
 that more information is required you 
 may not use the proposed clause until 15 
 days after mailing the additional 
 information. 
 
 Sec. 3. Ceiling rates for new suppliers 
 and new operator accounts, (a) If you 
 cannot calculate your ceiling rate under 
 section 2 of this regulation: 
 
 (1) Because you are a new supplier; 
 determine your base rates as well as your 
 total ceiling rate for your service on an 
 inline basis with the rest of the suppliers 
 in the industry, taking into account the 
 same factors, escalation clauses, bonus 
 provisions, etc. as was used by suppliers 
 of similar service to similar operators 
 during the base period. 
 
 (2) Because you have a new operator 
 account; determine your base rates as 
 well as your total ceiling rate for your 
 service on an inline basis with your other 
 accounts if similar, which were being 
 serviced during the base period, consid¬ 
 ering the same factors, where applicable, 
 and using the same terms and condi¬ 
 tions. Where you had no accounts simi¬ 
 lar to a new one, during the base period, 
 compute your base and ceiling rates as 
 well as terms and conditions in a man¬ 
 ner and at costs in line with those used 
 by other suppliers of the tire mileage 
 industry. "New Operator Account.” as 
 
 used in this regulation, is an account 
 which entered into a tire mileage con¬ 
 tract with a supplier subsequent to the 
 base period. 
 
 (b) Within 10 days after execution of 
 a contract, or 10 days after the effeotive 
 date of this regulation whichever is 
 later, a copy of any such contract in¬ 
 volving a new supplier or a new operator 
 account shall be filed by the supplier 
 with the Rubber Branch, Office of Price 
 Stabilization, Washington 25, D. C., to¬ 
 gether with a letter justifying the base 
 rates contained therein by showing com¬ 
 pliance in detail with paragraph (a) of 
 this section. Your ceiling rates for sup¬ 
 plying tire mileage to that operator will 
 be determined pursuant to your pro¬ 
 posed contract, unless and until the Di¬ 
 rector of Price Stabilization, disapproves 
 or modifies the rates stated in the con¬ 
 tract. 
 
 Sec. 4. Records, (a) You must pre¬ 
 pare and preserve for examination by 
 the Office of Price Stabilization all rec¬ 
 ords regarding your rates and rating 
 methods for tire mileage contracts in 
 effect during the base period, so long as 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950 re¬ 
 mains in effect and for two (2) years 
 thereafter. 
 
 Cb) You must prepare and preserve 
 for examination by the Office of Price 
 Stabilization all records regarding the 
 rates and rating methods for tire mileage 
 contracts executed after the base period 
 for the life of the contract or two years, 
 whichever is longer. 
 
 Sec. 5. Adjustments, (a) You may 
 apply for an upward adjustment of your 
 ceiling rates established by this regula¬ 
 tion if as a result of these ceiling rates 
 you would operate at rates which are 
 lower than those utilized by the tire 
 mileage industry generally for a similar 
 set of rating factors. 
 
 (b) If you believe one or more of your 
 ceiling rates are not in line with those 
 of the industry, you may apply by letter 
 to the Director of Price Stabilization for 
 permission to raise such rates. Your 
 letter should contain detailed justifica¬ 
 tion for the new rates by showing them 
 to be in line with the rates charged by 
 other tire mileage suppliers for a similar 
 set of rating factors. Unless and until 
 the Director of Price Stabilization ap¬ 
 proves in writing your proposed higher 
 ceiling rates, you will continue using 
 your ceiling rate established under sec¬ 
 tion 2 or 3 of this regulation. 
 
 Sec. 6. Adjustable rating. Nothing in 
 this regulation shall be construed to 
 prohibit your making a tire mileage 
 service contract at the ceiling rate in 
 effect at the start of the contract or the 
 lower of a fixed rate or a ceiling rate in 
 effect at the start of the contract. You 
 may not, however, unless specifically au¬ 
 thorized by the Office of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, deliver or agree to deliver the tire 
 mileage service at a rate to be adjusted 
 upward in accordance with any increase 
 in the ceiling rate after the start of the 
 contract. 
 
 Sec. 7. Prohibitions, (a) On or after 
 the effective date of this regulation, re¬ 
 gardless of any contract or other obliga¬ 
 tion, you may not sell tire mileage and 
 no person shall buy tire mileage at a rate 
 higher than the ceiling rate. Of course, 
 you may charge and the operator may 
 pay lower rates than your ceiling rates 
 at any time. 
 
 (b) Once you have reported your base 
 ceiling rate or proposed base ceiling rate 
 as required by this regulation, you may 
 not thereafter redetermine it. A purely 
 arithmetical error may, however, be cor¬ 
 rected, but the correction must be re¬ 
 ported to the Rubber Branch, Office of 
 Price Stabilization, Washington 25, D. C. 
 
 Sec. 8. Evasion. Any practice which 
 results in obtaining indirectly a higher 
 rate than is permitted by this regula¬ 
 tion is a violation of this regulation. 
 Such practices include, but are not lim¬ 
 ited to changes in the usual industry 
 practices and charges regarding abused 
 tire penalties and termination rates. 
 
 Sec. 9. Petitions for amendment. If 
 you wish to have this regulation 
 amended, you may file a petition for 
 amendment in accordance with the pro¬ 
 visions of Price Procedural Regulation 1. 
 
 Sec. 10. Penalties. Persons violating 
 any provisions of this regulation are 
 subject to the criminal penalties, civil 
 enforcement actions, and suits for treble 
 damages provided by the Defense Pro¬ 
 duction Act of 1950. 
 
 Effective date. The effective date of 
 this regulation is August 6, 1951. 
 
 Note: The record keeping and reporting 
 requirements of this regulation have been 
 approved by the Bureau of the Budget in 
 accordance with the Federal Reports Act 
 3f 1942 .

 CORRECTION OF TERMINOLOGY 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended (Public Law 
 774, 81st Congress, Public Law 96, 82d 
 Congress), Executive Order 10161 (15 
 P. R. 6105) and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 P. R. 
 738), this Amendment 1 to Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 93 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment corrects the termi¬ 
 nology used in section 1 (b) by deleting 
 
 the words “a person” on lines 4 and 5 
 and again on lines 7 and 8 and substitut¬ 
 ing therefor the words “an individual 
 man or woman.” This substitution will 
 restrict and distinguish the class ex¬ 
 empted from the broader category in¬ 
 cluded by the definition of “person” in 
 section 1 (a). An additional change is 
 made by the insertion of the words "or 
 uses the construction services of” after 
 the word "employs” on lines 5, 6 and 9, 
 section 1 (b). This amplification ex¬ 
 cludes from the exemption granted by 
 the section, partnerships and other co¬ 
 operative relationships not definitely in¬ 
 cluded by the word “employ.” 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Ceiling Price Regulation 93, section 1 
 (b) is amended to reati ns follows: 
 
 (b) Exemption. Neither this regula¬ 
 tion nor any other regulation heretofore 
 or hereafter issued by OPS shall apply to 
 
 the sale of construction services by an 
 individual man or woman who neither 
 employs or uses the construction serv¬ 
 ices of one or more persons nor employs 
 or uses the construction services of one 
 or more subcontractors. If at any time, 
 however, an individual man or woman 
 who is exempted by this provision em¬ 
 ploys or uses the construction services of 
 one or more persons or one or more sub¬ 
 contractors he or she is subject to this 
 regulation and must comply with all of 
 its provisions including the record-keep¬ 
 ing and reporting requirements.

 INSTRUCTIONS 
 
 This report must be filed with the appropriate OPS District office if you charged for construction services on the basis of 
 hourly rates for labor, plus additional separate charges for materials and equipment service during the base period (July 1, 
 1949 to June 24, 1950). 
 
 Type of Service: Indicate the kind of service you offer, for example: 
 
 a. Plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration f. Roofing and insulation 
 
 b. Painting and paper hanging g. Sheet metal work 
 
 c. Electrical work h. Concrete work 
 
 d. Masonry, tile setting, and/or plastering i. Water well drilling 
 
 e. Carpentry and wood flooring j. Miscellaneous special trade contractors (specify) 
 
 1 - CEILING CHARGE FOR LABOR - SEC. 21(a) 
 
 Col. (a) Classification of Labor Used: List under this heading the labor classifications which you used during the base 
 period (July 1, 1949 to June 24, 1950). “Classification of labor” means an hourly rated job identified by the kind of work per¬ 
 formed and according to the customary skill required. (For Example: journeyman plumber, carpenter, steamfitter, apprentice, 
 senior apprentice, helper, laborer). 
 
 Col. (b) Wage Rate Paid (per hour): In this column list for each classification of labor the highest straight time hourly 
 wage rate you paid during the base period July 1, 1949 through June 24, 1950. 
 
 Col. (c) Wage Rate Paid (per hour)—Current: In this column list the straight time hourly wage rate which you pay each 
 classification of labor &6 of the date of this report. 
 
 Col. (d) and Col. (e) Payroll Costs (per hour): Payroll costs include payroll taxes; cost of pension and insurance plans; 
 premiums for compensation, liability and other required insurance which is based upon your payroll (but do not include trade 
 association and union dues). 
 
 Col. (f) Total Labor Cost—Ease Feriod: Base period hourly cost to you of each classification of labor established for a 
 payroll period which was concurrent with your hourly charge shown in (h). This amount for the base period is (b) plus (d). 
 
 (Instructions continued on d age 4) 
 
 OPS PUBLIC FORM NO. 101 (PAGE 3) 
 
85 Serv 34:9904 
 
 Col. (g) Total Labor Cost—Curent: Current hourly cost to you of each classification of labor, including applicable pay¬ 
 roll costs, as defined under (d) and (e) above. This amount equals (c) plus (e). 
 
 Col. (h) Ceiling Charge to Buyer-Base Period: Determine the highest charge per hour which you made to a purchaser of 
 the same class for each classification of labor during the base period. 
 
 Col. (j) Ceiling Charge to Buyer—Current: This column equals the amount shown in (h) plus the difference between (f) 
 and (g). This is your hourly charge for labor. 
 
 2 - CEILING CHARGE FOR MATERIALS • SEC. 21(b) 
 
 Col. (a) Type of Materials: If during the base period, it was your practice to apply markups which varied in accordance 
 with the general type or category of material used, you must list each such type or category having a different percentage 
 markup. If, during the base period, you used only one percentage markup applied to all materials regardless of type or cate¬ 
 gory, it will be sufficient for you to show “ all materials 9 under column (a), and to carry a single line of percentage figures 
 across columns (b), (c), (d) and (e). If during the base period, your total markup over the cost to you of lumber (of all grades) 
 was 25%, total markup over building hardware (of all kinds) was 39%, and your markup oyer all other materials (regardless of 
 type) was 10%, you list only the three terms, “Lumber” “Building Hardware”, and “All Others” in column (a). 
 
 Col. (b) and Col. (c) Base Period Percentage Markup—Profit - Overhead: Find the highest percentage markup over the 
 cost to you for each general type or category of material listed in column (a) which you had in effect during the base period for 
 a purchaser of the same class. Separate each of these percentage markups into the applicable percentage representing profit, 
 column (b), and the applicable percentage representing overhead, column (c). For example: If the total markup over the cost 
 to you of lumber (of all grades) was 25%, 15% may have represented your profit and 10% would have remained to represent your 
 recovery of overhead expenses. Enter the 15% in column (b) and 10% in column (c). 
 
 Col. (d) CPR 93—Profit Markup: Diminish your profit markup shown in column (b) by 10% and enter this reduced profit 
 markup in column (d). For example: If your profit markup was 20% during the base period your diminished profit markup is 18%. 
 
 Col. (s) CPR 93—Total Markup: Add that portion of your base period markup which represented your recovery of overhead 
 expenses, column (c), to your diminished profit markup, column (d). This is your revised total markup, column (e), and may be 
 applied to the current cost to you of materials in the category which you have shown. 
 
 If you find that separation of your base period markup into an applicable percentage for recovery of overhead expenses 
 and applicable percentage representing profit cannot be made, or imposes undue hardship, you may omit this separation and 
 diminish your total base period percentage markup by 10%. If you choose this method, enter your total base period percentage 
 markup in column (b); do not make any entries in either columns (c) or (d); in column (e) enter 9/10 of the percentage you have 
 shown in column (b) — this will give you your revised total percentage markup. 
 
 3 - CEILING CHARGE FOR USE OF CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT WHICH YOU DO NOT OWN - SEC. 21(d) 
 
 Col. (a) Type of Equipment: List here by type or category the construction equipment not owned by you which you used 
 in the completion of your construction service. For example: Power saws, cranes, ditchers, and bulldozers. 
 
 Col. (b) Cost Base: Specify the elements of cost to which your markup for profit and overhead was applied in accordance 
 with your base period practice. For example: Your markup may have been applied to your rental cost alone, to your operating 
 costs alone, or to your combined rental and operating costs. 
 
 Col. (c) and Col. (d) Base Period Percentage Markup—Profit - Overhead: Find the highest percentage markup over your 
 cost base which you had in effect during the base period for an item of construction equipment of the same kind for a purchaser 
 of the same class. Separate that percentage markup into the applicable percentage representing profit, column (c), and the ap¬ 
 plicable percentage representing your recovery of overhead or other expense, column (d). For example: If the total markup 
 over the cost base used by you was 40%, 15% may have represented your profit and 25% represented your recovery of overhead 
 expenses. Enter 15% in column (c) and 25% in column (d). 
 
 Col. (e) CPR 93—Profit Markup: Diminish the profit markup shown in column (c) by 10% and enter this diminished profit 
 markup in column (e). For example: If your profit markup shown in column (c) is 15% during your base period,' your diminished 
 profit markup is 13.5%. 
 
 Col. (f) CPR 93—Total Markup: Add the diminished profit markup found in column (e) to that portion of your base period 
 markup representing your recovery of overhead expense (or overhead expense plus your estimated operating expense) as found 
 in column (d). This is your revised total markup. 
 
 If you find that separation of your base period markup into an applicable percentage for recovery of overhead expenses 
 and an applicable percentage representing profit cannot be made, or imposes undue hardship, you may omit this separation and 
 diminish your total base period percentage markup by 10%. If you choose this method, enter your total base period percentage 
 markup in column (c); do not make any entries in either columns (d) or (e); in column (f) enter 9/10 of the percentage you have 
 shown in column (c) — this will give you your revised total percentage markup. 
 
 4 - CEILING CHARGE FOR THE USE OF CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT OWNED BY YOU - SEC. 21(c) 
 
 Col. (a) Typo of Equipment: List here by type or category the construction equipment owned by you which you used in 
 the completion of the construction service. For example: Power saws, cranes,'ditchers, and bulldozers. 
 
 Col. (b) Base Period Charge: Find the highest charge (by the hour, day, job, or other unit) which you had in-effect dur¬ 
 ing the base period (July 1, 1949 to June 24, 1950) for an item of construction equipment of the same kind for a purchaser of 
 the same class. 
 
 Col. (c) and Col. (d) Replacement Cost—Base Period—Current: List in column (c) the base period replacement costtoyou 
 of the items of construction equipment. List in column (d) the current cost to you for replacement of these items of construction 
 eqpipment. 
 
 Col. (e) Ratio: Divide the current cost of replacement, column (d), by base period replacement^cost, column fc), and 
 enter this figure in column (e). 
 
 Col. (f) Coiling Charge: Multiply the base period charges, column (b) by the ratio, column (e). This is your ceiling 
 charge. For example: If your base period charge was $5.00 a day for the use of an item of construction, equipment having a 
 base period replacement cost of $1000 and a current replacement cost of $1100, your ceiling charge for the use of that item 
 of construction equipment, under this regulation,would be $5 x or $5.50 per day. (Section 21(c)(6) provides for your re¬ 
 covery of operating costs.)

 INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING OPS PUBLIC FORM NO. 103, 
 CONSTRUCTION AND RELATED SERVICES--BASIC REPORT OF INSTALLED SALES 
 
 OPS Public Form No. 103 must be filed with the appropriate OPS District office if, during the 
 base period, you charged for installed sales on the basis of a single charge which included the cost of 
 the item and a markup over that cost wherein your markup was calculated to recover estimated installa¬ 
 tion cost under average conditions, to recover your overhead and to leave you a margin of profit. This 
 type of installed sale transaction is covered by Section 22(c) of CPR 93- 
 
 Type of Establishment 
 
 This refers to the nature of your business. Indicate whether you operate a plumbing,heating or 
 electrical shop, or other specific type of establishment. 
 
 Col. (a) Item of Material or Equipment Installed 
 
 Insert here the name of the item (including minimum identification) installed. This refers to entire 
 item or assembly, inclusive of all the component parts necessary to complete the installation. For in¬ 
 stance, if you install a kitchen sink, you specify in Column (a) “kitchen sink* and the type and size of 
 that sink; this item would be considered as including all the component parts such as faucets, drains, 
 pipes, and all appurtenances. 
 
 Col. (b) Base Period Cost of Item 
 
 Show here the total cost to you during the base period of the entire item to be installed, including 
 component parts, as defined under (a) above. 
 
 Col. (c) and Col. (d) Base Period Percentage Markup for Profit—Percentage Maijcup for Combined Over¬ 
 head Expenses and Estimated Installation Cost 
 
 These two percentages are derived by separating your highest base period markup over the cost to 
 you of the item to be installed into the applicable percentage representing profit and the applicable per¬ 
 centage representing your recovery of combined overhead expenses and your recovery of estimated in¬ 
 stallation cost. 
 
 "Col. («)CPR 93--Percentage Markup for Profit 
 
 Insert 90% of the base period percentage markup for profit noted in Column (c). 
 
 Col. (f) CPR 93—Total Percentage Markup 
 
 The data here is derived from adding the percentages in Columns (d) and (e). 
 
 Col. (g) Current Cost of Item 
 
 Show here the curreht total cost to you of the entire item to be installed, including component 
 parts, as defined in (a) above. 
 
 Col. (h)CPR 93—Total Dollar Markup 
 
 This dollar amount is derived from multiplying the percentage in Column (f) by the current cost of 
 item. Column (g). 
 
 Col. (j) CPR 93—Ceiling Price 
 
 This figure is derived by totaling the data appearing in Columns (g) and (h). 
 
 If you find that separation of your base period markup into an applicable percentage for recovery 
 of overhead and estimated installation cost expenses and an applicable percentage representing profit 
 cannot be made, or imposes undue hardship, you may omit this separation and diminish your total base 
 period percentage markup by 10%.,) If you choose this method, enter your total base period percentage 
 markup in Column (c); do not make any entries in either Columns (d) or (e); in Column (f) enter 9/10 of 
 the percentage you have shown in Column (c) — this will give you your CPR 93 total percentage markup.

 GOR 14 —Excepted Services 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 as amended, Executive Order 10161 (15 
 F. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this General Overriding Regulation 
 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This General Overriding Regulation 
 is an across-the-board regulation which 
 exempts certain services from price con¬ 
 trol. All services now or hereafter to¬ 
 tally exempted from price control will 
 be listed in this General Overriding 
 Regulation. 
 
 Some of the listed services have al¬ 
 ready been exempted under the provi¬ 
 sions of Supplementary Regulation 15 
 to the General Ceiling Price Regulation. 
 This supplementary regulation is simul¬ 
 taneously being revoked insofar as it 
 deals with total exemptions. After this 
 date,-it will deal only with temporary 
 suspensions and adjustable pricing au¬ 
 thority as to sellers of certain services. 
 The services which are now temporarily 
 suspended are services furnished by 
 hospitals and summer camps and cer¬ 
 tain services related to harvesting and 
 packing of fresh fruits, vegetables, ber¬ 
 ries and nuts. The adjustable pricing 
 authority is now applicable to contract 
 carriers by motor vehicle and lessors of 
 trucks and passenger cars. 
 
 Those services already exempted un¬ 
 der such Supplementary Regulation 15 
 and which are merely incorporated into 
 this General Overriding Regulation for 
 convenience are services rendered by 
 schools, printing and binding services 
 pursuant to contract with the United 
 States Government Printing Office, 
 drilling of oil and gas wells and certain 
 other services related to oil and gas 
 wells, and certain rates regulated by the 
 Department of Agriculture under the 
 Packers and Stockyards Act. The 
 statement of considerations for such 
 Supplementary Regulation 15 discusses 
 the reasons for these exemptions. 
 
 A number of services are exempted 
 from price control for the first time by 
 this General Overriding Regulation. 
 They fall within three groups: (1) serv¬ 
 ices over which the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization has no control by virtue of the 
 provisions of section 402 (e) of the De¬ 
 fense Production Act of 1950; (2) serv¬ 
 ices which have minor significance and 
 slight effect upon the cost of living; and 
 (3) services which cannot practicably be 
 controlled. 
 
 In the first category are a number of 
 exemptions for professional services as 
 well as exemptions relating to publish¬ 
 ing, broadcasting, motion picture and 
 insurance fields. These groups are dealt 
 with by section 402 (e) of the Defense 
 Production Act of 1950. 
 
 In the second category are services 
 such as the repair and maintenance of 
 antiques, shoe shining by shoe shine 
 boys, taxidermy, etc. 
 
 The third group includes stevedoring 
 and watchman and guard services. 
 These services involve such a narrow 
 margin over labor cost and often involve 
 such an individualized pattern of charg¬ 
 ing that the administrative difficulties 
 of control out-weigh the benefits. 
 
 The use of parking space on streets 
 and thoroughfares when regulated by 
 governmentally operated parking meters 
 is exempted from price control. Park¬ 
 ing fees usually partake more of the 
 nature of a tax or the exercise of a 
 municipal police power in the regulation 
 of the use of public streets than a charge 
 for a service. This exemption from park¬ 
 ing does not apply to parking charges in 
 lots operated by governmental agencies 
 or private persons. 
 
 A number of services are exempted by 
 an occupational designation. It is made 
 clear in the regulation that the exemp¬ 
 tion extends to services which fall within 
 the scope of the particular occupation 
 and which are not performed as an in¬ 
 cident to a non-exempt service. 
 
 All services rendered by employees are 
 exempted since the control of wages and 
 salaries is not within the scope of Office 
 of Price Stabilization activities. Services 
 rendered by way of employment are un¬ 
 der Wage Stabilization Board jurisdic¬ 
 tion. 
 
 This additional list was prepared after 
 the Director of Price Stabilization had 
 consulted with numerous representa¬ 
 tives from various service fields and had 
 given consideration to their recom¬ 
 mendations. Subjecting the charges for 
 these services to price control would 
 have no appreciable effect on the pro¬ 
 gram of price stabilization and would 
 impose an unnecessary administrative 
 and enforcement burden. In the judg¬ 
 ment of the Director of Price Stabiliza¬ 
 tion, in view of the nature of the addi¬ 
 tional services exempted, no ceilings are 
 required to be applied to prices for such 
 services.

 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 Each year the Association of Ameri¬ 
 can Railroads issues a Code of Rules 
 governing the condition of, and charges 
 for repairs to, freight and passenger 
 cars used in interchange service when 
 made by one participant in the Code 
 on cars owned by another participant. 
 Under the Code of Rules, cars inter¬ 
 changed by subscribers thereto must be 
 
 inspected at railroad junction points, 
 and repairs necessary to insure safe op¬ 
 eration must be made before the cars 
 may proceed. The charges set forth in 
 the Code are based on the average cur¬ 
 rent labor rates and material costs of 
 all the subscribers to the Code, without 
 profit, and practically all owners of rail¬ 
 road cars used in interchange service 
 subscribe, to the Code. 
 
 While in any particular month some 
 car owners will perform more than their 
 normal quota of repair work, for the 
 most part there will be leveling off over 
 a period of time as to the amount of 
 repair work performed by the respective 
 car owners. By utilizing the repair serv¬ 
 ice provided for in the Code of Rules, the 
 cost to the car owners is either the same 
 as, or less than, the cost would be if they 
 performed their own repair work. Since 
 the repair services referred to are per¬ 
 formed, without profit, exclusively among 
 participants in the Code of Rules, the 
 exemption from price control will in no 
 way defeat or impair the price stabiliza¬ 
 tion program, nor will such exemption 
 have any material effect upon the cost 
 of living or upon the general level of 
 prices. 
 
 amendatory PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14 is 
 amended by adding a new section 4 to 
 read as follows: 
 
 Sec. 4. Railroad car repair services 
 performed by a railroad or other rail¬ 
 road car owner which is a party to the 
 freight and passenger car interchange 
 rules agreement of the Association of 
 American Railroads in effect at the time 
 of performance, when the charges for 
 such services (including the furnishing 
 of repair parts incidental thereto) are 
 prescribed by the Code of Rules of the 
 Association of American Railroads gov¬ 
 erning the condition of, and repairs to, 
 freight and passenger cars for the in¬ 
 terchange of traffic.

 der 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 P. R. 738), this Amendment 2 to 
 General Overriding Regulation 14 is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment exempts from all 
 ceiling price regulations imposed by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization, certain 
 services which have minor significance 
 and slight effect upon the cost of living, 
 or services which cannot be practicably 
 controlled. 
 
 Among such services are custom house 
 brokers and foreign freight forwarders. 
 The diversified nature of these non-re- 
 tail services and the fact that payments 
 therefor are often made outside the 
 United States are such as to make im¬ 
 practicable their control under ceiling 
 price regulations. 
 
 Also exempt are services supplied di¬ 
 rectly by any Federal, State or muni¬ 
 cipal government or any of their agen¬ 
 cies, or political subdivisions, except 
 services supplied in connection with 
 terminals, docks, or warehousing fa¬ 
 cilities. Services performed by these 
 governmental units usually involve an 
 exercise of governmental powers on be¬ 
 half of the public or powers which are 
 essential to or inherent in governmental 
 stability. The exemption, however, is 
 limited to services rendered solely and 
 directly by a government or by its gov¬ 
 ernmental agencies, and does not ex¬ 
 tend to services rendered on behalf 
 thereof by non-governmental agencies, 
 such as subcontractors, lessees, licensees 
 or concessionaires. Nor does the exemp¬ 
 tion apply to sales of commodities or 
 services incidental or related to sales 
 of commodities, even though such serv¬ 
 ices are rendered directly by any such 
 government or governmental agency. 
 
 Advertising agency services and serv¬ 
 ices rendered by managers for actors, ac¬ 
 tresses, and athletes and by labor rela¬ 
 tions counsellors involve the interaction 
 of many factors, such as varying mar¬ 
 keting conditions and demands, time 
 element, individual fee negotiations 
 and with respect to advertising agen¬ 
 cies special talent and subject matter 
 incident thereto, which render such 
 services not practicably amenable to 
 regulation. 
 
 WASHINGTON 
 
 Claims adjusters, regardless of wheth¬ 
 er they do or do not work upon claims re¬ 
 lated to insurance as such, are perform¬ 
 ing services which are quasi-profession¬ 
 al in nature and which have slight ef¬ 
 fect upon the cost of living. For these 
 reasons an exception for services ren¬ 
 dered by claims adjusters is deemed to be 
 appropriate. 
 
 Rates and fees charged by real estate 
 brokers, agents and appraisers, and those 
 charged by mortgage brokers and mort¬ 
 gagees in connection with the negotia¬ 
 tion, placement and securing of mort¬ 
 gages, are being exempt from price sta¬ 
 bilization principally because the serv¬ 
 ices rendered are varied and complex in 
 nature and continuance of control would 
 impose an administrative burden out of 
 proportion to the benefits to be gained. 
 
 Consideration has been given* to the 
 exemption of the royalties and other 
 charges for all patents, trademarks and 
 copyrights because of their individuality 
 and the diversified and complex nature 
 of the agreements to which their use is 
 subject. There is, however, despite the 
 difficulties inherent in subjecting pat¬ 
 ents, trademarks and copyrights to price 
 stabilization, the danger that royalties 
 and other charges which are a part of 
 the charge for the use or sale of a prod¬ 
 uct if left uncontrolled woula cause a rise 
 in prices of such a product. As a conse¬ 
 quence, the exemption from price con¬ 
 trol of royalties and other charges for 
 the use or sale of patents, trademarks 
 and copyrights does not apply to those 
 royalties and other charges which are 
 incidental to the sale or lease of a com¬ 
 modity by the grantor or an affiliate of 
 the grantor of the patent right. 
 
 This amendment also exempts club 
 dues and assessments of clubs, organ¬ 
 ized and operated exclusively for social, 
 recreation and other non-profit pur¬ 
 poses (unless such non-profit purposes 
 are combined with a business or trade 
 purpose), where no part of the earnings 
 inures to the benefit of any private 
 shareholder and where such dues and 
 assessments do not constitute a payment 
 for specific services rendered. However, 
 dues and assessments of clubs organized 
 for business or trade purposes or of 
 clubs which combine such business or 
 trade purposes with non-profit purposes, 
 or for which specific services are ren¬ 
 dered, are and will continue to be sub¬ 
 ject to regulation. 
 
 Maritime pilotage services supplied to 
 ships and vessels and services rendered 
 by justices of the peace, newsboys, no¬ 
 taries public and process servers, to¬ 
 gether with those rendered in connec¬ 
 tion with the detection of flaws in rails 
 by detector cars, fall into the category 
 of services which have minor significance 
 and slight effect upon the cost of living. 
 Into this category also fall ticker and 
 H,ree surgery services. 
 
 This amendment adds wrecking serv¬ 
 ices to the list of services exempt from 
 price control. The services affected are 
 those in which a “wrecker” undertakes 
 to remove a building or other structure 
 on behalf of the owner in return for the 
 possession of the materials or equipment 
 salvaged in the operation and, in some 
 cases, for an additional monetary con¬ 
 sideration. A “wrecker” is engaged in 
 a highly specialized trade distinguished 
 from demolition and razing where the 
 sole object of the services is to clear a 
 site and no consideration is given to any 
 salvable materials. Wrecking services 
 may involve payment to the owner when 
 the value of the salvaged materials and 
 equipment is in excess of the cost of the 
 services rendered. Site clearance pre¬ 
 paratory to and a part of a new con¬ 
 struction project is not exempted by this 
 amendment; nor is the sale of the mate¬ 
 rials or equipment recovered by the 
 wrecker, his agent, or any other person. 
 
 Wrecking falls within the third group 
 of services mentioned in the Statement of 
 Considerations for General Overriding 
 Regulation 14—Excepted Services—as 
 one of those services which cannot prac¬ 
 tically be controlled. The considera¬ 
 tions expressed in General Overriding 
 Regulation 14 with respect to this third 
 group are equally applicable to wreck¬ 
 ing services. 
 
 Due to increased costs of doing busi¬ 
 ness many consignee distributors of pe¬ 
 troleum products have petitioned then- 
 principals for an increase in commissions. 
 Distance of hauling the product seems to 
 be a serious item of complaint on the part 
 of the consignee distributors in that the 
 cost of delivering the product in many 
 cases exceeds the amount of the commis¬ 
 sion. Under the applicable petroleum 
 regulations, prices for sales to consumers 
 are established and are unaffected by 
 changes in commission rates which may 
 be negotiated between suppliers and their 
 consignee distributors. In conferences 
 with representatives of the industry, the 
 Director of Price Stabilization has been 
 advised that any increase in the com¬ 
 mission rates negotiated by consignee 
 distributors of petroleum products and 
 their suppliers will not necessitate any 
 increase in ceiling prices to consumers. 
 
 There is added by this amendment an 
 exemption for services performed by bar¬ 
 bers and beauticians. This has been 
 done in order to conform ceiling price 
 regulations to section 104 (g) of the De¬ 
 fense Production Act Amendments of 
 1951 which adds to subsection (e) of sec¬ 
 tion 402 of the Defense Production Act of 
 1950 a new paragraph “(vii)” which 
 reads in part “Prices charged * * * 
 
 for services performed by barbers and 
 beauticians.” 
 
 This amendment also clarifies section 
 3 (a) (32) by expressly stating that watch 
 
85 Serv 61:6 
 
 and clock repair services are not exempt 
 from price control. 
 
 Ttys amendment to the original list of 
 exemptions provided in General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 was prepared after 
 the Director of Price Stabilization had

 sentatives in various fields, including 
 trade association representatives, and 
 had given consideration to their recom¬

 (a) of section 3 is amended by adding at 
 the end thereof the following: “This ex¬ 
 emption does not extend to the repair 
 of watches and clocks.” 
 
 3. Paragraph (a) of section 3 is 
 amended by adding subparagraphs (69)

 of which inures to the benefit of any pri¬ 
 vate shareholder, except when such dues 
 and assessments are in whole or in part 
 charged for the rendering of a specific 
 service or services. Dues and assess¬ 
 ments of clubs and associations having a

 ple, automobile clubs) even though they

 grant if that grant is incident to or an 
 integral part of a sale or lease by the 
 grantor or an affiliate of the grantor of 
 any material subject to ceiling price reg¬

 exemption does not extend to the rates, 
 fees or charges, for services which are 
 incidental or related to or connected with 
 
 the sale of any commodity by any such

 tractors, lessees, licensees, concession¬ 
 aires or other persons supplying such

 a person who is known in the trade as a 
 “wrecker”, who may receive in addition 
 to the salvage a cash payment for his 
 services or who may pay the owner of 
 the building or other structure for the 
 excess of the value of the salvage over 
 the value of his services; and wherein 
 the estimated value of the salvable 
 material or equipment forms a sub¬ 
 stantial portion of the consideration 
 for which the services are rendered. The 
 exemption of wrecking, as herein de¬ 
 fined, does not extend to site clearance 
 performed as part of a construction 
 project, nor does the exemption extend 
 to the resale of the salvaged materials 
 by the wrecker, his agent, or any other 
 person.

 ADDITIONAL EXCEPTED SERVICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. I jaw 774, 81st Cong.), 
 as amended, Executive Order 10161 (15 
 P. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Amendment 3 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 3 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 extends the list of 
 exemptions contained in that regulation 
 to include certain others which are 
 deemed to have slight effect upon the 
 cost of living or which cannot be prac¬ 
 ticably controlled. 
 
 Palling into the first named category 
 are cemetery rates, fees and charges of 
 religious or charitable organizations or 
 of cemetery companies exempt from 
 Federal income taxes under section 101 
 (5) and (6) of the Internal Revenue 
 Code. Interment and cremation serv¬ 
 ices in such cemeteries are performed at 
 cost and in many instances at an actual 
 loss. The average number of employees 
 of non-profit cemeteries is small and 
 they are hard to replace. Recognizing a 
 lag in cemetery wage rates, the Wage 
 Stabilization Board has by its general 
 Regulation No. 7 exempted these organi¬ 
 zations and companies from wage con¬ 
 trols under certain circumstances. It is 
 now deemed advisable to exempt their 
 cemetery activities from price stabiliza¬ 
 tion. 
 
 Section 3 (a) (72) of General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14, as established by 
 amendment 2 thereto, provides for the 
 exemption of dues and assessments of 
 non-profit clubs and associations which 
 do not have a business or trade purpose. 
 When these clubs and associations com¬ 
 bine non-profit purposes with general or 
 trade purposes, their dues and assess¬ 
 ments for these purposes are too general 
 in their application and consequently 
 difficult to control. When, however, such 
 organizations have a specific as well as 
 a general business or trade purpose and 
 their dues and assessments are used for 
 such a specific as well as a general busi¬ 
 ness or trade purpose, then such dues 
 and assessments are and will continue to 
 remain subject to price stabilization. 
 However, automobile clubs and associa¬ 
 tions, while they do have a specific busi¬ 
 ness purpose, are because of their minor 
 effect upon the cost of living by this 
 amendment specifically excepted from 
 the bar of that subparagraph. 
 
 Street lighting systems dependent on 
 gas are not only few in number but are 
 
 gradually giving way to the competition 
 provided by other lighting systems. The 
 servicing of a gas lighting system has, 
 therefore, become a specialty performed 
 almost exclusively by municipalities and 
 public utilities or by a limited number of 
 private companies. Because of these 
 factors such services are exempted by 
 this regulation. 
 
 Section 3 (a) (89) of General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14, as established by 
 amendment 2 thereto, provides for the 
 exemption of services supplied directly 
 by the States and their political subdi¬ 
 visions and municipalities, among others, 
 but does not extend to the rates, fees or 
 charges of persons supplying such serv¬ 
 ices in a private capacity for any such 
 government or governmental agency. A 
 new section is added to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14, as amended, which 
 provides that where the seller of an ar¬ 
 ticle must by law collect taxes for a State 
 or municipality and the lav/ permits such 
 seller to retain a portion of such tax 
 money for his own use, the amount of 
 tax money retained by the seller is ex¬ 
 empt from ceiling price regulation. 
 
 Section 3 (a) (21) of this General 
 Overriding Regulation exempts educa¬ 
 tional services rendered in the educa¬ 
 tional facilities of schools and educa¬ 
 tional institutions which provide a sys¬ 
 tematic and supervised course of instruc¬ 
 tion in a branch of knowledge, art, craft 
 or skill. This exemption was not intend¬ 
 ed to extend to the rates, fees or charges 
 for other than educational services ren¬ 
 dered in schools and educational institu¬ 
 tions. Thus, their sports and entertain¬ 
 ment activities, such as school fairs, or 
 field and athletic events were not exempt. 
 These sports and entertainment activi¬ 
 ties are, however, in general a necessary 
 adjunct to the educational services sup¬ 
 plied by such schools and institutions. 
 Section 3 (a) (21) is, therefore, hereby 
 amended to provide for an exemption for 
 these activities. 
 
 Subparagraph (84) of paragraph (a) 
 of section 3 to this General Overriding 
 Regulation is amended to clarify its ap¬ 
 plication. This provision is intended to 
 exempt real estate appraisers and the 
 sales and rentals of real property by real 
 property brokers and agents. These 
 services are not only varied and complex 
 but in addition the prices or rentals of 
 real property enjoy statutory exemp¬ 
 tion from price stabilization. Transac¬ 
 tions otherwise affecting real estate, 
 however, are not so exempt. Likewise, it 
 is intended that services other than the 
 selling or rental of real property by real 
 property brokers and agents^ are and 
 continue to be subject to ceiling price 
 regulation. In particular, real estate 
 management services by whomsoever 
 rendered fall without the exemption 
 provided by this regulation. 
 
 This amendment to the amended list 
 of exemptions provided in General Over¬ 
 
 riding Regulation 14 was prepared after 
 the Director of Price Stabilization had 
 further consulted with industry repre¬ 
 sentatives in various fields including 
 trade association representatives, and 
 had given consideration to their recom¬ 
 mendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respects: 
 
 1. Subparagraph (21) of paragraph 
 (a) of section 3 is amended to read as 
 follows: 
 
 (21) Educational, sports and entertain¬ 
 ment services rendered by, and in the fa¬ 
 cilities of, schools and educational Institu¬ 
 tions which provide a systematic and su¬ 
 pervised course of Instruction In a branch 
 of knowledge, art, craft or skill. 
 
 2. Subparagraph (72) of paragraph 
 (a) of section 3 is amended to read as 
 follows: 
 
 (72) Dues and assessments of clubs and 
 associations, organized and operated exclu¬ 
 sively for social, recreation and other non¬ 
 profit purposes (unless such purposes are 
 combined with a specific business or trade 
 purpose) no part of the earnings of which 
 inures to the benefit of any private share¬ 
 holder, except when such dues and assess¬ 
 ments are in whole or in part charged for 
 the rendering of a specific service or serv¬ 
 ices. Dues and assessments of clubs and 
 associations having a specific business or 
 trade purpose, except automobile clubs, even 
 though they could otherwise qualify for an 
 exemption under this paragraph are not in¬ 
 cluded within this exemption. 
 
 3. Subparagraph (84) of paragraph 
 (a) of section 3 is amended to read as 
 follows: 
 
 (84) Real property appraisers: and the 
 rates, fees and charges for the sale or rental 
 of real property by real property brokers and 
 agents, other than management agents for 
 real property. 
 
 4. Paragraph (a) of section 3 is 
 amended by adding at the end thereof 
 the following: 
 
 (91) Cemeteries which are operated by re¬ 
 ligious or charitable organizations or by 
 cemetery companies, exempt from Federal 
 income taxes under section 101 (5) and (6) 
 of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 
 (92) Services rendered in connection with 
 the repair, rental and maintenance of public 
 street gas lighting equipment. 
 
 (93) State or municipal tax monies col¬ 
 lected from purchasers to the extent such 
 monies are retained pursuant to law by seU- 
 ers of commodities and services.

 THEATER TICKET BROKERS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 as amended, Executive Order 10161 (15 
 P. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 P. R. 
 738), this Amendment 4 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment exempts from ceiling 
 price regulation the charges made by 
 governmentally licensed theater ticket 
 brokers for theater ticket services to the 
 extent that the maximum charges for 
 
 such services are established under stat¬ 
 ute or ordinance. The primary service 
 performed by these ticket brokers is the 
 sale of tickets for admission to theatrical 
 performances. The charges for such ad¬ 
 mission by theater enterprises, them¬ 
 selves, are exempt from ceiling price reg¬ 
 ulation under the provisions of section 
 402 (e) (iii) of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. This limited 
 exemption to theater ticket brokers is, 
 therefore, consistent with the statutory 
 exemption for theater enterprises. In 
 addition, since the exemption applies 
 only to the extent the maximum fees are 
 controlled under state or local law, this 
 exemption is appropriate for reasons 
 stated in the Statement of Considera¬ 
 tions which accompanied the original is¬ 
 suance of General Overriding Regula¬ 
 tion 14. 
 
 This amendment to General Overrid¬ 
 ing Regulation 14, as amended, was pre¬ 
 pared after consultation with industry 
 
 representatives, and due consideration 
 was given to their recommendations.

 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respect: 
 
 Paragraph (a) of section 3 is amended 
 by adding at the end thereof the 
 following:

 censed by governmental authority to the 
 extent that the maximum, charges for 
 such services are established under a 
 statute or a municipal ordinance.

 INACTIVE ACCOUNTS OR DEPOSITS IN 
 MARYLAND 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 as amended, Executive Order 10161 (15 
 F. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Amendment 5 to General 
 Overriding Regulation 14 is hereby is¬ 
 sued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 5 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 exempts from ceil¬ 
 ing price regulation the charges made 
 against inactive deposits and inactive 
 accounts by banks, trust companies and 
 savings institutions in the State of Mary¬ 
 land to the extent permitted, and under 
 the conditions prescribed, by Chapter 417 
 of the Laws of Maryland of 1951. 
 
 Before a charge may be made against 
 these inactive deposits and accounts, 
 they must have been abandoned for a 
 period of ten years. Thereafter, these 
 
 charges continue until the deposit or 
 account is completely absorbed or until 
 such time (20 years from the time the 
 account or deposit becomes inactive) as 
 the balance of the account or deposit is 
 paid over to the State of Maryland. In 
 addition, the Maryland statute provides 
 for the repayment of such charges by the 
 bank, trust company or savings institu¬ 
 tion to the depositor or his legal repre¬ 
 sentative upon proper proof of identity 
 until such time °s the balance of the de¬ 
 posit or account, if any, is turned over to 
 the Treasurer of the State of Maryland. 
 Thus, these charges by the banks, trust 
 companies or savings institutions are not 
 final but may be set aside at any time 
 before the 20-year period of inactivity 
 elapses. It does not appear, therefore, 
 that such charges result in an absolute 
 diminution of the deposit or account or 
 that there is a present impairment of 
 savings which would have an adverse 
 effect upon the cost of living and the 
 financial well-being of the country. 
 Furthermore, since this narrow exemp¬ 
 tion applies only to the extent permitted 
 under Maryland law, this exemption is 
 appropriate for reasons stated in the 
 Statement of Considerations which ac¬ 
 companies the original issuance of Gen¬ 
 eral Overriding Regulation 14. 
 
 This amendment to General Overrid¬ 
 ing Regulation 14, as amended, was pre¬ 
 pared after consultation with industry 
 
 representatives and due consideration 
 was given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respect: 
 
 Paragraph (a) of section 3 is amended 
 by adding to the end thereof the fol¬ 
 lowing : 
 
 (95) Charges made against inactive 
 deposits and inactive accounts by banks, 
 trust companies and savings institutions 
 in the State of Maryland to the extent 
 permitted, and under the conditions pre¬ 
 scribed, by Chapter 417 of the Laws of 
 Maryland of 1951; provided that the 
 amount of the charges remains reim¬ 
 bursable to the depositor upon demand 
 until such time as the account or deposit 
 is required by the Maryland law to be 
 paid over to the Treasurer of the State, 
 or, if the account or deposit shall be ex¬ 
 hausted by such charges, then until such 
 time as it would have been paid over had 
 any balance then remained.

 R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Amendment 6 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 6 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 exempts the serv¬ 
 ices of an optometrist in the examina¬ 
 tion of human eyes, refraction of vision 
 and making of appropriate ophthalmic 
 
 prescriptions, since these are generally 
 the rendering of professional services. 
 Rates or fees charged for professional 
 services, as such, are exempt from price 
 control by express provision of the De¬ 
 fense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. Insofar as an optometrist is 
 engaged in furnishing ophthalmic sup¬ 
 plies he is selling a commodity, but where 
 that sale is an integral part of a single 
 transaction including the examination, 
 refraction and prescription it is admin¬ 
 istratively impracticable to subject the 
 transaction to price control regulation. 
 Accordingly, this regulation exempts the 
 rendering of services by an optometrist 
 and the furnishing of supplies by an op¬ 
 tometrist in filling his own prescriptions. 
 If he renders any other services or if he 
 furnishes any supplies in either refilling 
 his own prescriptions or in filling pre¬ 
 scriptions of others, the transaction re¬ 
 mains under price control. . 
 
 This amendment to the original list of 
 exemptions provided in General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14, as amended, was 
 
 prepared after the Director of Price 
 Stabilization had consulted with indus¬ 
 try representatives, and had given con¬ 
 sideration to their recommendations.

 CERTAIN ADVERTISING CHARGES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production

 as amended. Executive Order 10161 (15

 Overriding Regulation 14 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 7 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 exempts from ceil¬ 
 ing price regulation the advertising 
 charges made for car cards, station 
 posters and advertising displays used in 
 
 transportation facilities. This exemp¬ 
 tion of this limited portion of the gen¬ 
 eral advertising field is consistent with 
 previous action taken by the Congress 
 and the Office of Price Stabilization in 
 exempting from ceiling price regulation 
 certain services. Section 402 (e) (iii) 
 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended, exempted from ceiling price

 vertising rates, charged by any person 
 in the business of operating or publish¬ 
 ing a newspaper, periodical, or magazine, 
 or operating a radio broadcasting or 
 television station, a motion picture or

 vertising facilities. In addition, section 
 3 (a) (69) of General Overriding Regu¬ 
 lation 14 exempts from ceiling price 
 regulation the charges for services per¬ 
 formed by advertising agencies. This 
 exemption is therefore appropriate for

 General Overriding Regulation 14 and 
 Amendment 2 thereto.

 CERTAIN NON-PROFIT SUMMER CAMPS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive 
 Order 10161 (15 F. R. 6105), and Eco¬ 
 nomic Stabilization Agency General 
 Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Amend¬ 
 ment 8 to General Overriding Regulation 
 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment exempts from ceiling 
 price regulation the charges for services 
 and commodities incidental thereto, 
 made by non-profit summer camps 
 whose total charges do not exceed $30 
 per week per camper. 
 
 Non-profit summer camps for chil¬ 
 dren are generally partially dependent 
 
 upon endowment or contributed funds. 
 Payments made by or on behalf of the 
 campers normally represent cost or less 
 than the cost of maintaining the camper. 
 Unless these non-profit summer camps 
 are permitted to reflect cost increases in 
 their charges to some extent, many of 
 them will have to either limit the num¬ 
 ber of campers or discontinue their 
 camping services. This might deprive 
 needy and underprivileged children of 
 the benefits obtained through summer 
 camping. In addition most of the 
 camps in the exempted group have here¬ 
 tofore charged from $15 to $25 per week 
 per camper and, as in the case of the 
 Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts, carry on 
 their summer camp activities as an im¬ 
 portant part of their year round activi¬ 
 ties. It is believed that this limited 
 exemption will permit the continuance 
 of efficient service and that it is also 
 consistent with standards set forth in 
 other exemptions. 
 
 This amendment to General Overrid¬ 
 ing Regulation 14, as amended, was pre¬ 
 pared after consultation with industry 
 
 representatives and due consideration 
 was given to their recommendations

 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Amendment 9 to General 
 Overriding Regulation 14 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment exempts from ceiling 
 price regulation the charges for services 
 supplied directly by Federal, State or 
 local Government, or any agency of such 
 government, in operation of terminal, 
 dock, or warehousing facilities. 
 
 Amendment 2 to GOR 14, effective 
 September 19, 1951, included a new pro¬ 
 
 vision, stated in section 3 (a) (89), which 
 had the effect of exempting “govern¬ 
 mental” services generally, but terminal, 
 dock and warehousing services were spe¬ 
 cifically excluded from that exemption, 
 and hence remained subject to ceiling 
 price control. 
 
 On further consideration the Director 
 is of the opinion that the rationale sup¬ 
 porting the exemption of “governmen¬ 
 tal” services generally should be applied 
 to terminal, dock and warehousing serv¬ 
 ices supplied directly by government 
 authorities or agencies thereof. The 
 services here involved have as their basic 
 purpose the stimulation of commerce to 
 or through the particular area or locality 
 in question for the benefit of the gen¬ 
 eral public. Hence, the charging of un¬ 
 reasonable or oppressive rates would 
 defeat the very purposes for which the 
 operations are instituted. For these 
 reasons, the Director is of the opinion 
 that the governmental bodies which op¬ 
 erate such facilities will guard against 
 any abuse in the matter of charges made 
 for the services, and therefore such 
 terminal, dock and warehouse operations 
 should be included in the general ex¬ 
 emption of “governmental” services as 
 
 covered in section 3 (a) (89) referred to 
 above. 
 
 Prior to the issuance of this amend¬ 
 ment the Director has consulted with 
 representatives of governments and 
 government agencies affected by this ac¬ 
 tion. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respects: 
 
 Subparagraph (89) of paragraph (a)

 docks or warehousing facilities by any 
 such government or governmental 
 agency.”

 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 4 * . * 
 
 This Amendment 10 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 suspends from ceil¬ 
 ing price regulation charges made for 
 trailer accommodations on which maxi¬ 
 mum rents have been established by the 
 Office of Rent Stabilization pursuant to 
 the Housing and Rent Act of 1947, as 
 amended. Under that statute the Office 
 of Rent Stabilization regulates, under 
 certain conditions, charges made for an; 
 housing accomodation in a motor court. 
 
 any trailer, or ground rented as trailer 
 space in defense rental areas. At the 
 same time. Ceiling Price Regulation 34 
 regulates ceiling prices which may be 
 charged for the use of space by trailers. 
 It is necessary, therefore, in order to 
 avoid dual control by these two govern¬ 
 ment agencies in this limited field that 
 the regulation of trailer space by the Of¬ 
 fice of Price Stabilization be limited to 
 situations where there is no control ex¬ 
 ercised by the Office of Rent Stabiliza¬ 
 tion. Thus, so long as maximum rents 
 have been established for these facilities 
 by the Office of Rent Stabilization, a 
 suspension from OPS ceiling price regu¬ 
 lation is provided. 
 
 In view of the corrective nature of this 
 amendment, special circumstances have 
 rendered consultation with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, including trade association 
 representatives, impracticable.

 RAILROAD PER DIEM, MILEAGE ALLOWANCE 
 AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency general Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 11 to General Overriding Regula¬ 
 tion 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 statement or considerations 
 
 This amendment exempts from ceiling 
 price regulation certain rates and 
 charges made for the use of railroad cars 
 and certain services incident thereto. 
 The specific rates and charges are per 
 diem payments, mileage allowances and 
 charges for protective services incident 
 to the use of certain special types of 
 railroad cars. 
 
 In the case of per diem payments, such 
 payments have been developed through 
 many years of trial and represent com¬ 
 pensation to the car owner for the use of 
 its equipment. A most important fea¬ 
 ture of the per diem system is that it 
 provides an incentive to accelerate car 
 
 movements with a resultant maximum 
 use of such equipment. In a similar 
 manner, mileage allowance represents 
 compensation to the car owner for the 
 expenses of car ownership, including 
 among other items, interest on the 
 necessary investment, depreciations, in¬ 
 surances, taxes, and repairs. Finally, 
 the charges for protective services repre¬ 
 sent an amount for preparing special 
 types of railroad cars for use. Such 
 services include, but are not limited to, 
 refrigeration, icing, heating and ventila¬ 
 tion and are usually rendered by the 
 owners of the cars in order to utilize 
 their special facilities and trained per¬ 
 sonnel. 
 
 In view of the nature of these services, 
 the exemption of the rates and charges 
 therefor will not have any significant ef¬ 
 fect upon business costs, cost of living or 
 the general level of prices, nor is this 
 exemption likely to result in any diver¬ 
 sion of scarce materials or manpower 
 from more essential operations. The 
 nature of the services mitigate against 
 the likelihood of price abuses. Under 
 the circumstances, continuation of con¬ 
 trols of these services would involve ad¬ 
 ministrative burdens out of proportion 
 to the benefits to be gained thereby. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment, 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives, and consider¬ 
 ation has been given to their recommen¬ 
 dations. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director, the 
 exemptions provided for by this amend¬ 
 ment will not defeat or impair the price 
 stabilization program or the objectives 
 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended.

 TRANSPORTATION AND SPREADING OF AGRI¬ 
 CULTURAL LUZING MATERIAL 
 
 Pusuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161 (15 P. R. 6105), and Economic 
 Stabilization Agency General Order No. 
 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Amendment 12 to 
 General Overriding Regulation 14 is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 exempts from price 
 control the rates and charges for the 
 transportation and spreading of agricul¬ 
 tural liming materials. Agricultural 
 liming materials, are, generally speak¬ 
 ing, any materials that contain calcium 
 alone or calcium and magnesium, in 
 form and quantity sufficient to neutral¬ 
 ize soil acidity, and which are sold for 
 agricultural purposes. The term agri¬ 
 cultural liming materials is well known 
 among the users of these products and a 
 more complete definition of the term is 
 set forth in the Statement of Consider¬ 
 
 ations which accompanies Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 77. 
 
 Agricultural liming materials are gen¬ 
 erally sold on a delivered-to-farm or de- 
 livered-and-spread basis. In some cases, 
 the producer of liming materials makes 
 delivery in his own trucks, while in other 
 cases for-hire carriers are engaged. The 
 producer usually establishes trucking 
 and spreading rates on a geographical 
 basis with a flat rate for hauling into a 
 specified area, such as a county or town¬ 
 ship. The rate for such a_ specified area 
 is the same for all truckers who desire to 
 provide the service. 
 
 Trucking and spreading of agricultural 
 liming materials is a local, seasonal op¬ 
 eration performed mainly by small 
 owner-operators. In very few cases does 
 a carrier operate more than one truck. 
 It is estimated that there are approxi¬ 
 mately 8,000 of this type of trucker in 
 the United States. Since many of these 
 operators offer both a trucking and a 
 spreading service any accurate allocation 
 of costs is difficult, if not impossible, to 
 obtain. 
 
 During 1950, 29,000,000 tons of agricul¬ 
 tural liming materials were produced in 
 the United States. Of this total, 23,000,- 
 000 tons, or 80 percent, were purchased 
 either directly or indirectly by the United 
 States Department of Agriculture. The 
 extent of the activity of the Department 
 of Agriculture in the agricultural liming 
 materials market will prevent any great 
 
 fluctuations or undue increases in prices 
 which might otherwise result from de¬ 
 controlling the rates charged by these 
 truckers and spreaders. 
 
 This exemption applies only to the 
 trucking and spreading services and does 
 not apply to sales of the agricultural lim¬ 
 ing materials themselves, on a delivered- 
 to-farm or a delivered-and-spread basis. 
 Such sales of the materials are subject 
 to CPR 77. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14 is 
 amended in the following respect:

 RESALE BOOK MATCH ADVERTISING CHARGES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.), 
 as amended, Executive Order 10161 (15 
 F. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Amendment 13 to General 
 Overriding Regulation 14 is hereby is¬ 
 sued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 13 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14, as amended, ex¬ 
 empts from ceiling price regulation the 
 sale of advertising on resale book match 
 covers by match book manufacturers or 
 distributors. Resale book matches are 
 sold and distributed by match manufac- 
 • urers through wholesalers or jobbers, 
 "md ultimately to the consumer who usu¬ 
 ally receives them without charge in con¬ 
 nection with the sale of tobacco or to¬ 
 bacco products. These resale book 
 matches differ from special reproduction 
 book matches which are specially de¬ 
 signed as an advertising medium and are 
 specially printed, manufactured and dis¬ 
 tributed to serve the advertising purposes 
 of the purchaser. 
 
 Amendment 3 to General Overriding 
 Regulation 8 exempted charges for ad¬ 
 vertising space on special reproduction 
 book matches from ceiling price regula¬ 
 tion. Advertising charges for space on 
 resale book matches were not included 
 in that exemption because of the sale 
 of the matches as a separate item apart 
 from the sale of advertising space. This 
 amendment to General Overriding Regu¬ 
 lation 14, as amended, exempts only the 
 rates and charges made by match book 
 manufacturers or distributors for adver¬ 
 tising space-on resale book match covers 
 but does not affect the matches them¬ 
 selves, which remain subject to Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 22 or General Ceiling 
 Price Regulation. 
 
 This exemption covers a very limited 
 portion of the general advertising field 
 and is entirely consistent with previous 
 action taken by the Congress and the 
 Office of Price Stabilization in exempting 
 advertising services from ceiling price 
 regulation. Manufacturers of resale 
 book matches who sell advertising space 
 directly and distributors of these 
 matches who purchase match books and 
 then sell advertising space thereon, 
 render services analogous to those per¬ 
 formed in the publications and car card 
 advertising fields. Section 402 (e) (iii) 
 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended, exempted from ceiling price 
 regulation the rates, including the ad¬ 
 vertising rates charged by any person in 
 the business of operating or publishing a 
 newspaper, periodical or magazine, or 
 operating a radio broadcasting or televi¬ 
 sion station, a motion picture or other 
 theater enterprise, or outdoor advertis¬ 
 ing facilities. In addition, section 3 (a) 
 
 (69) of General Overriding Regulation 
 14, as amended, exempted the charges for 
 services performed by advertising agen¬ 
 cies, and section 3 (a) (97) of General 
 Overriding Regulation 14, as amended, 
 exempted advertising charges made for 
 car cards, station posters and advertis¬ 
 ing displays used in transportation facili¬ 
 ties. This exemption is therefore appro¬ 
 priate for reasons stated in the State¬ 
 ments of Considerations which accom¬ 
 panied both General Overriding Regula¬

 REFILLING OF THEIR OWN PRESCRIPTIONS BY 
 OPTOMETRISTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.) 
 as amended, Executive Order 10161 (15 
 P. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Amendment 14 to General 
 Overriding Regulation 14 is hereby is¬ 
 sued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 14 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 exempts from ceil¬ 
 ing price regulation the charges made by 
 
 optometrists for refilling their own pre¬ 
 scriptions. 
 
 Amendment 6 to General Overriding 
 Regulation 14, effective January 17, 1952, 
 contained a provision, section 3 <a) (96), 
 which exempted charges for services and 
 supplies furnished by optometrists in 
 making and filling their own prescrip¬ 
 tions. This exemption was granted be¬ 
 cause the filling of his own prescriptions 
 by an optometrist is inseparably connect¬ 
 ed with his examination of human eyes, 
 refraction of vision, and the making of 
 appropriate ophthalmic prescriptions 
 which are professional services exempted 
 by the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended. The refilling of his own 
 prescriptions by an optometrist was not 
 included within that exemption. Upon 
 further consideration, however, the Di¬ 
 rector has determined that an optome¬ 
 trist’s professional duties are also in¬ 
 volved in refilling his own prescriptions 
 and that his charges therefor should also 
 be exempt. 
 
 This amendment to the 6riginal list of 
 exemptions provided in General Overrid¬ 
 
 ing Regulation 14, as amended, was pre¬ 
 pared after the Director of Price Stabili¬ 
 zation had consulted with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, and had given considera¬ 
 tion to their recommendations.

 MAKING AND SUPPLYING ABSTRACTS OF 
 TITLE TO REAL PROPERTY 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.) 
 as amended. Executive Order 10161 (15 
 P. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 P. R. 
 738), this Amendment 15 to General 
 Overriding Regulation 14 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment removes from price 
 control fees and charges for making and 
 supplying abstracts of title to real 
 property. 
 
 By a prior amendment to General 
 Overriding Regulation 14. other services 
 in connection with real property trans¬ 
 fers rendered by real estate brokers, 
 agents, appraisers and mortgage brokers 
 have been exempted from price control. 
 The nature of the service of making and 
 supplying abstracts of title to real prop¬ 
 erty is closely allied to those services 
 already exempted. 
 
 It is estimated that the average per¬ 
 son requires a title abstract once during 
 his lifetime. Furthermore, the Director 
 has been advised that on the average 
 there are one to five persons in each 
 county engaged in the business of sup¬ 
 plying abstracts of title to real property. 
 Further, their charges, in many in¬ 
 stances, are subject to state control. In 
 view of the non-recurrent need for this 
 service by purchasers and the compar¬ 
 atively small number of sellers, it is 
 expected that this exemption will have 
 little, if any, effect upon the cost of 
 living. The administrative burden of 
 retaining control over such fees and 
 charges is out of proportion to the ben¬ 
 efits gained. 
 
 This amendment was prepared after 
 the Director of Price Stabilization had 
 consulted with industry representatives, 
 trade associations and individual title 
 abstract companies and consideration 
 has been given to their recommenda¬ 
 tions.

 CERTAIN TEXTILE SERVICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 16 to General Overriding Regula¬ 
 tion 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment adds to the list of 
 services suspended from price control 
 those services which are performed in 
 the course of the manufacture or process¬ 
 ing of any fiber, yarn or fabric as to 
 which the applicable ceiling price regu¬ 
 lation has been suspended, or which has 
 been excepted from price control. 
 
 Price controls over certain fibers, yarns 
 and fabrics have been suspended because 
 those commodities generally are selling 
 at prices materially below ceilings and 
 are not expected to reach ceilings in the 
 foreseeable future. In general, a low lev¬ 
 el of selling prices of commodities has 
 a depressing effect on the charges for 
 services connected with the manufacture 
 or processing of these commodities. As 
 long as the prices of these commodities 
 do not rise to any significant degree, re¬ 
 sistance against increased charges for 
 the services will continue. And since it 
 is not anticipated that the prices of the 
 commodities will reach ceilings in the 
 foreseeable future, it appears that mar¬ 
 ket forces will operate to prevent appre¬ 
 
 ciable increases in the service charges as 
 well. 
 
 This amendment also suspends from 
 price control services performed in the 
 manufacture and processing of Amer- 
 ican-Egyptian Cotton. American Egyp¬ 
 tian Cotton is not subject to price con¬ 
 trol, having been excepted by section 
 14 (s) (5) of the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation. Inasmuch as controls are 
 being suspended by this amendment as 
 to services such as ginning, baling and 
 wrapping on American Upland cotton, 
 it is considered advisable to suspend 
 price control on those services when 
 they are performed upon American- 
 Egyption cotton. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director, con¬ 
 trols over the services suspended by this 
 amendment are not required at this time 
 in order to carry out the purposes of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. The Director may at any time 
 terminate or modify this suspension if he 
 determines that such action is neces¬ 
 sary in the interest of the stabilization 
 program. In any event, this suspension 
 will be terminated as to a service when 
 controls are re-activated as to the fiber, 
 yarn or fabric on which the service is 
 performed. 
 
 All records which were required to be 
 prepared and preserved under appli¬ 
 cable ceiling price regulations in effect 
 prior to this suspension must continue 
 to be preserved. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respect: 
 
 1. Section 4 is amended by adding 
 paragraph (b), to read as follows: 
 
 (b) The application of any ceiling 
 price regulation, now or hereafter issued, 
 to the services listed below, is suspended 
 until further notice by the Director of 
 Price Stabilization; provided, however, 
 That persons who were required by any 
 regulation heretofore issued to keep, 
 prepare, or preserve any record concern¬ 
 ing these services, shall continue to pre¬ 
 serve and make available for examina¬ 
 tion by the Office of Price Stabi’ization, 
 in the manner and for the period set 
 forth in said regulation, all such rec¬ 
 ords which they were required to have 
 on June 21, 1952, or, in the case of serv¬ 
 ices added to this section by subsequent 
 amendment, which they were required to 
 have on the effective date of any such 
 amendment. 
 
 (1) All services performed in the man¬ 
 ufacture or processing of any fiber, yarn, 
 or fabric as to which the applicable ceil¬ 
 ing price regulation has been suspended 
 or which have been excepted from price 
 control. Such services include ginning, 
 baling, wrapping, throwing, commission 
 weaving, commission warping and slash¬ 
 ing, wool scouring, top making, spinning, 
 burling and mending, garnetting, carbo¬ 
 nizing, winding, dyeing, finishing, 
 bleaching, scouring, napping, printing, 
 mercerizing, singeing, shrinking, felting, 
 shearing, water-proofing, gas-proofing, 
 saponifying, embossing, moireing.

 ARMORED CAR SERVICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilisation 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 amendment to General Overriding Reg¬ 
 ulation 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to General Overrid¬ 
 ing Regulation 14 adds to the list of 
 services exempted from ceiling price 
 regulation the rates and charges of 
 armored car companies for the trans¬ 
 portation and guarding of money, secu¬ 
 rities and other valuables. 
 
 As stated in the statement of consid¬ 
 erations accompanying General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14. the services ex¬ 
 empted by it are those which the 
 
 Congress has exempted or those which 
 have little or no significance upon the 
 cost of living, or which cannot practi¬ 
 cally be controlled. Armored car service 
 is important to'banks and others han¬ 
 dling large sums of money, securities 
 and other easily disposable valuables. 
 However, in terms of cost it is a rela¬ 
 tively insignificant item to them and it 
 has virtually no effect upon the general 
 level of prices or upon the cost of living. 
 Furthermore, the principal value of the 
 armored car service is found not in the 
 transportation as such, but in the pro¬ 
 tective custody afforded during trans¬ 
 portation. As a practical matter the 
 purchaser of armored car service pays 
 for the personal service of guards, the 
 furnishing of which has already been 
 exempted from price control by subpar¬ 
 agraph (67) of section 3 (a) of GOR 14. 
 Finally, this guard service and transpor¬ 
 tation is so highly individualized that 
 there are no readily definable classes of 
 purchasers or patterns of rates or 
 charges upon which to establish or ad¬ 
 just ceiling prices. The administrative 
 burden of attempting to maintain fair 
 and equitable price control without such 
 a pattern far outweighs the benefit to be 
 derived from the maintenance of con¬ 
 trol. Accordingly these services are 
 
 added to the list of exempted services in 
 GOR 14. 
 
 Prior to the formulation of this 
 amendment, consultation was had with 
 industry representatives, including trade 
 association representatives, and consid¬ 
 eration has been given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. 
 
 It is the judgment of the Director 
 that the exemption herein will not de¬ 
 feat or impair the stabilization program 
 or the objectives of the Defense Produc¬ 
 tion Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended by adding 
 at the end of paragraph (a) of section 3 
 a new subparagraph (103), as follows: 
 
 (103) Transportation by armored motor 
 vehicles of money, securities and valuable 
 articles and guarding services Incident 
 thereto.

 MISCELLANEOUS AMENDMENTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 18 to General Overriding Regula¬ 
 tion 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT- OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 In the Defense Production Act Amend¬ 
 ments of 1952 extending the Defense 
 Production Act of 1950, Congress specifi¬ 
 cally exempted sales of certain services 
 from price control. Some of these serv¬ 
 ices had previously been exempted from 
 price control by this regulation, but its 
 provisions require modification in some 
 respects to comply with the Congres¬ 
 sional action. Other services had not 
 previously been exempted and are now 
 added to the exemptions under this 
 regulation. 
 
 Congress exempted sales of commodi¬ 
 ties and services by State and local gov¬ 
 ernments and their agencies, and this 
 exemption is now contained in General 
 Overriding Regulation 11, Revision 2. 
 Accordingly, subparagraphs (46) and 
 (65) of section 3 (a) have been deleted 
 because they are now incorporated in 
 GOR 11, Revision 2, and subparagraph 
 (89). has been amended to refer to the 
 exemption now available under that 
 regulation. 
 
 The Congress made certain changes in 
 section 402 (e) (v) of the Defense Pro¬ 
 duction Act, which originally exempted 
 from price control only the rates of com¬ 
 mon carriers and other public utilities. 
 The Congress has now added to the ex¬ 
 emption rates charged by all persons 
 subject to the Shipping Act of 1916. 
 The Shipping Act, as amended princi¬ 
 pally by the Transportation Act of 1940, 
 gives the Federal Maritime Board broad 
 rate regulatory authority over common 
 carriers by water in foreign commerce, 
 in commerce between the United States 
 and its territories and possessions, and 
 in commerce within the territories. It 
 also gives the Board authority to prevent 
 those persons rendering terminal services 
 in connection with such common car¬ 
 riers by water or in connection with 
 common carriers by water in interstate 
 commerce from employing unreasonable 
 or discriminatory business practices. 
 Common carriers by water subject to the 
 Shipping Act have been exempt from 
 
 price control -by virtue of the original 
 exemption of common carriers contained 
 in section 402 (e) (v) of the Defense 
 Production Act. Therefore they are not 
 included in this amendment. The Con¬ 
 gress has now exempted the rates of 
 those persons subject to the Shipping 
 Act rendering terminal services in con¬ 
 nection with such carriers. This ex¬ 
 emption is now added to GOR 14. The 
 exemption defines the persons it covers 
 in terms substantially the same as the 
 terms used in section 1 of the Shipping 
 Act itself. These terms are as precise 
 as feasible for language designed to em¬ 
 brace a broad group of businesses. 
 Furthermore, there are several decisions 
 of the United States Maritime Commis¬ 
 sion, now the Federal Maritime Board, 
 and the Supreme Court of the United 
 States which interpret these terms and 
 thus provide a reasonable touchstone for 
 making decisions as to the applicability 
 of the exemption to a particular seller. 
 
 The Congress also amended section 
 402 (e) (v) of the Defense Production 
 Act to exempt certain charges made or 
 paid by common carriers for services 
 which are not themselves common car¬ 
 riage, but which are interwoven with and 
 incidental to common carriage. The 
 charges made by common carriers which 
 are exempt are those for the use of 
 transportation equipment, for the use 
 of washroom and toilet facilities in ter¬ 
 minals and stations, for the use of park¬ 
 ing facilities operated in connection 
 with common carrier operations, and 
 for the repair of transportation equip¬ 
 ment. The charges paid by common car¬ 
 riers which are exempt are those for the 
 performance of part of their transporta¬ 
 tion service rendered to the public, in¬ 
 cluding pick-up and delivery and local 
 transfer services and the use of equip¬ 
 ment owned by others than common car¬ 
 riers, and charges for protective service 
 against heat or cold to property trans¬ 
 ported. These new statutory exemp¬ 
 tions are added. 
 
 This action also adds to GOR 14 the 
 new statutory exemption relative to 
 prices charged by bowling alleys for a 
 game of bowling. 
 
 In view of the nature of this action, 
 special circumstances have made con¬ 
 sultation with industry representatives, 
 including trade association representa¬ 
 tives, impracticable. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol-, 
 lowing respects:

 ADDITIONAL EXCEPTED SERVICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive 
 Order 10161 (15.F. R. 6105), and Eco¬ 
 nomic Stabilization Agency General 
 Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 738), this Amend¬ 
 ment 19 to General Overriding Regu¬ 
 lation 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 19 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 extends the list of 
 exemptions contained in that regulation 
 to include fees of corporate directors 
 and charges for admission to exhibits 
 and various entertainment activities 
 presented by certain non-profit organ¬ 
 izations. 
 
 After consultation with other govern¬ 
 ment agencies it has been determined 
 that the fees charged by corporate direc¬ 
 tors for their services as representatives 
 of the corporation, including attendance 
 at meetings and participation in board 
 of directors’ meetings, may possibly be 
 subject to the jurisdiction of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization. However, in line 
 with the policy of OPS to exempt serv¬ 
 ices which have minor significance and 
 slight effect upon the cost of living and 
 services which cannot practicably be 
 controlled, it is -considered advisable to 
 exempt fees charged by corporate direc¬ 
 tors acting in their capacity as directors 
 of the corporation. 
 
 Also exempted are rates, fees and 
 charges for admission to various cul¬ 
 tural, educational, agricultural and in¬ 
 
 dustrial exhibits such as museums, his¬ 
 torical restorations, etc., when operated 
 solely and exclusively by a non-profit 
 organization. The exemption also in¬ 
 cludes admission charges for special 
 events of relatively short duration con¬ 
 ducted exclusively by such non-profit 
 organizations. Such special events in¬ 
 clude bazaars, carnivals, sports and en¬ 
 tertainment activities when the special 
 events conducted by the non-profit or¬ 
 ganization do not occur more than 30 
 days in> any one calendar year. Gen¬ 
 erally, these special events are one or 
 two day affairs and rarely do they con¬ 
 tinue more than two weeks. 
 
 The exemption, however, is limited to 
 services rendered directly by non-profit 
 organizations where no part of the re¬ 
 ceipts inures to the benefit of any private 
 shareholder, and does not extend to serv¬ 
 ices rendered on behalf of these non¬ 
 profit organizations by persons supplying 
 such services in a private capacity, such 
 as subcontractors, lessors, lessees, li¬ 
 censors, licensees, concessionaires or pro¬ 
 moters. 
 
 The exemption does not apply to sales 
 of services incidental to or related to 
 sales of commodities subject to OPS 
 regulation, even though such services are 
 rendered directly by a non-profit organ¬ 
 ization. 
 
 The limited applicability of these 
 amendments and the varied and wide¬ 
 spread nature of the services rendered 
 has made formal consultation with in¬ 
 dustry representatives impracticable. 
 However, informal conferences have 
 been held with representatives of organ¬ 
 izations affected by this regulation, and 
 consideration has been given to their 
 proposals and recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respects: 
 
 Paragraph (a) of section 3 is amended 
 by adding at the end thereof the follow¬ 
 ing: 
 
 (108) Compensations paid to corpo¬ 
 rate directors acting in their capacity 
 solely as directors of the corporation 
 when such compensation is not subject 
 to regulation by the Salary Stabilization 
 Board. This exemption, therefore, does 
 not extend to such matters as compensa¬ 
 tion paid corporate directors acting as 
 employees of a corporation or in any 
 capacity other than as director of a 
 corporation. 
 
 (109) Admission charges to cultural, 
 educational, agricultural and industrial 
 exhibitions when operated directly by a 
 non-profit organization where no part of 
 the receipts inures to the benefit of any 
 private shareholders or similar bene¬ 
 ficiaries; or to bazaars, carnivals and 
 other occasional or special entertain¬ 
 ment or sport events conducted directly 
 by such non-profit organization when 
 such events do not occur for more than 
 30 days in any one calendar year. This 
 exemption does not extend to the rates, 
 fees, or charges for services which are 
 incidental or related to or connected with 
 the sale of any commodity subject to 
 ceiling price regulation by any such non¬ 
 profit organization, or to the rates, fees 
 and charges of sub-contractors, lessors, 
 lessees, licensors, licensees, concession¬ 
 aires, promoters or other persons supply¬ 
 ing services related to such exhibitions 
 or special events conducted by any such 
 non-profit organizations.

 HANDLING AND STORAGE OF COTTON 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this amend¬ 
 ment to General Overriding Regulation 
 14, is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment adds to the list of 
 services suspended from price control 
 those services involved in the handling 
 and storage of raw cotton. 
 
 The reasons for taking this action are 
 (1) the large percentage of operators 
 rendering such services who are pres¬ 
 ently under control either by other fed¬ 
 eral or state agencies and (2) the small 
 use of total capacity of such facilities 
 with a consequent self - controlling influ¬ 
 ence. On the basis of information pre¬ 
 
 sented to this office, it was found that 
 the rates for approximately 75 percent 
 of the total storage capacity for raw cot¬ 
 ton are presently being controlled by the 
 United States Department of Agricul¬ 
 ture under the authority granted by the 
 United States Warehouse Act, as amend¬ 
 ed, or by state regulatory commissions 
 upon whom devolves the duty to keep 
 storage and handling rates at a reason¬ 
 able level. Secondly, during the storage 
 year 1951-52, it was found that less than 
 35 percent of the total storage capacity 
 for cotton was utilized at any one time, 
 which fact is significant inasmuch as the 
 cotton crop for that period was the third 
 largest on record. This latter circum¬ 
 stance has had a restraining effect upon, 
 increases in such rates and, moreover, 
 no change in this situation is contem¬ 
 plated in the near future. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director, the 
 continuance of controls over the services 
 suspended by this amendment are not 
 required at this time in order to carry 
 out the purposes of the Defense Produc¬ 
 tion Act of 1950, as amended. Should 
 sudden unwarranted increases result 
 from this relaxation of control, this sus¬ 
 pension may be terminated or modified 
 at any time. Further, if controls are re¬ 
 
 activated on raw cotton, this suspension 
 will be automatically terminated. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 the convening of a formal Industry Ad¬ 
 visory Committee was deemed impracti¬ 
 cable. However, there has been consul¬ 
 tation with industry representatives in¬ 
 cluding trade association representatives 
 to the extent practicable, and considera¬ 
 tion has been given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended by mining 
 at the end of paragraph (b) of section 4 
 a new sub-paragraph (2), as follows: 
 
 (2) The handling and storage of raw 
 cotton and other warehousing services 
 incident thereto, so long as price con¬ 
 trols over raw cotton are in suspension.

 BEDDING 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 21 to General Overriding Regula¬ 
 tion 14, is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OP CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment adds to the list of 
 services suspended from controls those 
 services involved in the renovating and 
 repairing of upholstered dual purpose 
 sleeping equipment such as sofa beds 
 and studio couches, metal beds, bedding, 
 and bed pillows. 
 
 By Amendment 3 to General Overrid¬ 
 ing Regulation 5, which is being issued 
 simultaneously with this amendment, 
 controls on the side of the foregoing 
 commodities are suspended because their 
 selling prices are substantially below 
 ceilings and are not expected to reach 
 ceilings in the foreseeable future. The 
 reasons for that suspension action are 
 more fully stated In the Statement of 
 
 Considerations of Amendment 3 to 
 GOR 5. 
 
 The service charges for renovating and 
 repairing these products are generally 
 also below ceilings. In general, a low 
 level of selling prices of commodities has 
 a depressing effect on the charges for 
 services connected with the manufacture 
 or processing of these commodities. As 
 long as the prices of these commodities 
 do not rise to any significant degree, 
 resistance against increased charges for 
 the services will continue. And since it 
 is not anticipated that the prices of the 
 commodities will reach ceilings in the 
 foreseeable future, it appears that mar¬ 
 ket forces will operate to prevent appre¬ 
 ciable increases in the service charges as 
 well. 
 
 Cleaning services, such as dry cleaning 
 and laundering, are supplied by an inde¬ 
 pendent industry from the one affected 
 by this amendment and remain subject 
 to price control. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director, the 
 continuance of controls over the services 
 suspended by this amendment is not re¬ 
 quired at this time in order to carry out 
 the purposes of the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Should sud¬ 
 den unwarranted increases result from 
 this relaxation of control, this suspen¬ 
 sion may be terminated or modified at 
 any time. In any event the Director of 
 Price Stabilization will terminate this 
 suspension if controls are reactivated 
 over bedding. 
 
 In view of the nature of this action, 
 special circumstances have made consul¬ 
 tation with Industry representatives, in¬ 
 cluding trade association representa¬ 
 tives, impracticable. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is amended by adding a new 
 subparagraph (3) to paragraph (b) of 
 section 4, to read as follows: 
 
 (3) Renovating and repairing erf the 
 following commodities: 
 
 Upholstered dual purpose sleeping equip¬ 
 ment. All upholstered dual purpose sleep¬

 ADDITIONAL EXEMPTIONS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this amend¬ 
 ment to General Overriding Regulation 
 5, Revision 1 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment adds vitrified china- 
 ware and hand-made table, kitchen and 
 art glassware manufactured in the 
 United States, its territories and posses¬ 
 sions, to the commodities exempted from 
 price control by Article II, General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 5, Revision 1. 
 
 These commodities, although not in¬ 
 significant, are, when used for house¬ 
 hold purposes, minor luxury items for 
 which there are available lower cost sub¬ 
 stitutes in good supply. Annual sales of 
 
 each are less than 45 million dollars. 
 Over the past several years both com¬ 
 modities have tended to lose their market 
 and suffer a decline in sales volume; in 
 one case to» machine-made glassware and 
 in the other to semi-vitreous and plastic 
 dinnerware. Sales of hand-made glass¬ 
 ware in 1950, for example, were 17 per¬ 
 cent lower than sales in 1948, which may 
 be contrasted with an increase of 13 
 percent in sales of machine-made glass¬ 
 ware. 
 
 There is little likelihood that exemp¬ 
 tion would result in any significant 
 changes in the price levels of these com¬ 
 modities. Further, these items are not 
 significant in business costs, the cost of 
 living, or the defense program. Exemp¬ 
 tion would not cause any diversion of 
 manpower or materials from other uses, 
 especially in view of the declining trends 
 of production, increased inventories, and 
 less expensive competitive products. 
 Furthermore, the administrative burdens 
 outweigh the benefits to the stabilization 
 program from maintaining controls on 
 these items. 
 
 In the opinion of the Director, the pro¬ 
 visions of this amendment are generally 
 fair and equitable, are necessary to ef¬ 
 fectuate the purposes of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended, and comply with all the appli¬ 
 
 cable requirements of that act. In view 
 of the nature of this amendment the 
 Director has not found it necessary or 
 practicable to consult formally with in¬ 
 dustry representatives. In the formula¬ 
 tion of this amendment, however, there 
 has been consultation with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, including trade association 
 representatives and consideration has 
 been given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 12 of General Overriding Reg¬ 
 ulation 5, Revision 1, is amended by add¬ 
 ing the following unnumbered para¬ 
 graphs : 
 
 Vitrified chinaware manufactured In the

 Hand-made table, kitchen and art glass¬ 
 ware and hand-made blanks for such glass¬ 
 ware, manufactured in the United States, 
 its Territories and Possessions. Glassware 
 and blanks are ‘‘hand-made” if they are 
 gathered from a furnace by hand and mouth- 
 blown or hand-pressed.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production

 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 22 to General Overriding 
 Regulation 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment adds to the list of 
 services suspended from price control 
 those services performed in the tanning, 
 finishing or currying of leather, except 
 such services performed in the ter¬ 
 ritories and possessions of the United 
 States. 
 
 By Amendment 1 to Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 2, Revision 2, effective April 28, 
 1952, and Amendment 4 to General 
 Overriding Regulation 4, Revision 1, 
 effective June 23, 1952, all sales of im¬ 
 ported and domestic hides and skins, and 
 their cut parts suitable for making 
 leather, and imported and domestic 
 leather were suspended from price con¬ 
 trol. except sales in the territories and 
 possessions of the United States, and in 
 the case of leather, sales at retail. As 
 
 explained in detail in the statements of 
 considerations for these two amend¬ 
 ments, sales of these commodities were 
 suspended because they are selling at 
 prices materially below ceilings and are 
 not expected to reach ceilings in the 
 foreseeable future. 
 
 A low level of selling prices of com¬ 
 modities usually has a depressing effect 
 on the charges for services connected 
 with the processing of those commodi¬ 
 ties. Many shoe manufacturers, other 
 users of leather and some tanners from 
 time to time have hides and skins or 
 semi-processed leather owned by them 
 tanned, finished or curried on contract 
 by another. It is apparent that these 
 manufacturers will engage in this prac¬ 
 tice to a much lesser extent, or not at 
 all, if leather processed to the desired 
 stage can be purchased at a lower price 
 than the cost of the raw material plus 
 the processing service charge. Market 
 forces will continue to hold these service 
 charges in line and will prevent any ap¬ 
 preciable increases. Accordingly, it is 
 the judgment of the Director that as long 
 as the prices of hides and skins and 
 leather do not rise to any significant 
 degree, charges for the processing of 
 services suspended by this amendment 
 will not increase appreciably. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director con¬ 
 trols over the services suspended by this 
 amendment are not required at this time 
 in order to carry out the purposes of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. The Director may at any time 
 
 terminate or modify this suspension if 
 he determines that such action is neces¬ 
 sary in the interest of the stabilization 
 program. In any event this suspension 
 will be terminated when the suspension 
 of ceilings on hides and skins or leather 
 is terminated. 
 
 All records which were required to be 
 prepared and preserved under applicable 
 ceiling price regulations in effect prior 
 to this suspension must continue to be 
 preserved. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade asso¬ 
 ciation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS

 THEATER TICKET BROKERS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 23 to General Overriding Regula¬ 
 tion 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 23 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 amends section 3 
 (a) (94) of that regulation by extending 
 the present exemption of the sale of 
 theater tickets by governmentally li¬ 
 censed and regulated theater ticket 
 brokers to include sales of tickets to 
 other events, including tickets to ath¬ 
 letic and sporting events. The previous 
 exemption for ticket brokers was limited 
 to the sale of theater tickets partly be¬ 
 cause the admission charges made by the 
 theater enterprises themselves, were ex¬ 
 empted from ceiling price regulation by 
 the provisions of section 402 (e) (iii) of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 
 amended. On the other hand admis¬ 
 sion charges to non-scholastic athletic 
 and sporting events were and are still 
 subject to ceiling price regulation. 
 However, upon further examination of 
 the operation of the theater ticket 
 broker industry there appears to be good 
 reason for extending the exemption to 
 the fees charged by ticket brokers for 
 the sale of the tickets to sporting events. 
 Such service on the part of the theater 
 ticket brokers is normally incidental to 
 their larger activity of acting as broker 
 for the sale of theater tickets. In the 
 metropolitan areas where theater ticket 
 brokers are licensed and regulated by 
 the municipal or State government and 
 the municipal or State government es¬ 
 tablishes by law the maximum charge 
 which the ticket broker may make for 
 the resale of tickets there is generally no 
 distinction made between the sale of 
 theater tickets and the sale of tickets 
 to sporting events. The maximum 
 charge is usually the same whether the 
 ticket be for a theatrical production or 
 a sporting event. The service is likewise 
 much the same, namely, that of securing 
 tickets for members of the public who 
 cannot purchase them at the box office. 
 Moreover, the amount of income derived 
 by ticket brokers for the sale of tickets 
 to sporting events is small in relation 
 to the burden of price control adminis¬ 
 tration by the Federal government. For 
 
 these reasons the present limited exemp¬ 
 tion of ticket brokerage service is being 
 extended to cover governmentally li¬ 
 censed and regulated ticket broker serv¬ 
 ices in all cases where the maximum re¬ 
 tail charge or brokerage fee is estab¬ 
 lished by law. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with in¬ 
 dustry representatives to the extent 
 practicable and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respect: 
 
 Subparagraph (94) of paragraph (a) 
 of section 3 is amended to read as 
 follows: 
 
 (94) Any ticket brokerage services 
 rendered by theater ticket brokers li¬ 
 censed by governmental authority to the 
 extent that the maximum charges for 
 such services are established under a 
 statute or a municipal ordinance.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive 
 Order 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this amend¬ 
 ment to General Overriding Regulation 
 14, is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 24 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14, adds two cate¬ 
 gories of inspection and testing services 
 to the list of services removed from 
 price stabilization regulations. 
 
 The categories of inspection and test¬ 
 ing services thus exempted are: (1) non¬ 
 retail inspection and testing services 
 rendered by non-profit associations, such 
 as lumber grading and inspection serv¬ 
 ices. safety testing of gas or electrical 
 appliances and fire safety inspection 
 services performed, and (2) inspection 
 and testing services to meet governmen¬ 
 tal health or safety requirements when 
 such services are supplied by members of 
 various service industries, for whom 
 maximum rates and charges are estab¬ 
 
 lished by state statute, municipal ordi¬ 
 nance, or order of a governmental regu¬ 
 latory body, including such services as 
 motor vehicle inspections, warehouse in¬ 
 spections of grain and other agricultural 
 commodities. 
 
 With respect to the inspection and 
 testing services supplied by non-profit 
 associations, such services, generally, are 
 provided for the member of the associa¬ 
 tion, and the charges for these services 
 are only sufficient to cover the out-of- 
 pocket expense of providing the services. 
 In some instances, however, the service 
 may be supplied to non-members of the 
 association, but such instances are so 
 infrequent that the exemption includes 
 all inspection and testing services pro¬ 
 vided by such non-profit associations. 
 
 The Director has determined that the 
 administrative burden of retaining con¬ 
 trol in the broad field of inspection and 
 testing services outweighs the advan¬ 
 tages of such control. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try’s representatives including trade as¬ 
 sociation representatives to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director the 
 provisions of this amendment are gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and are proper 
 in the administration of Title IV of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respect: 
 
 Paragraph (a) of section 3 is amended 
 by adding at the end thereof the fol¬ 
 lowing : 
 
 (110) Non-retail inspection and test¬ 
 ing service supplied by non-profit asso¬ 
 ciations (including but not limited to 
 such services as lumber grading and in¬ 
 spection, safety testing of gas or electri¬ 
 cal appliances and fire safety inspec¬ 
 tions) . 
 
 (111) Inspection and testing service in 
 compliance with governmental health or 
 safety requirements when maximum 
 service charges are established by state 
 statute, municipal ordinance, or rule or 
 order of a governmental regulatory body 
 (including but not limited to such serv¬ 
 ices as motor vehicle inspection, inspec¬ 
 tion and grading of grain and other agri¬ 
 cultural commodities).

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.) as 
 amended, Executive Order 10161 (15 
 P. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 P. R. 
 738), this Amendment 25 to General 
 Overriding Regulation is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 In accord with the policy of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization to concentrate its 
 efforts within the major areas materially 
 affecting the cost of living, the average 
 American family, business costs for the 
 defense program, this Amendment ex¬ 
 tends the coverage of GOR 14 to include 
 all dues, fees, assessments and charges 
 for services rendered by npn-proflt clubs. 
 
 The services covered by this amendment 
 do not enter significantly into the cost 
 of living of the average American family, 
 business costs or the. defense program 
 and the continuance of control involves 
 administrative difficulties for the Office 
 of Price Stabilization and the suppliers 
 concerned which are disproportionate in 
 relationship in the value of such control 
 to the price stabilization program. 
 
 All charges made by non-profit social 
 and athletic clubs except those rendered 
 for a specific service have already been 
 exempt from control by section 3 (a) 
 (72) of General Overriding Regulation 
 14. Inasmuch as many of the charges 
 of non-profit social and athletic clubs 
 have already been exempt from price 
 control administrative convenience 
 makes it desirable to broaden the exemp¬ 
 tion to cover the remaining services. 
 Exemption from price control of these 
 services will not affect the price stabili¬ 
 zation program. Furthermore, many 
 non-profit social and athletic clubs are 
 luxury items which have no effect upon 
 the cost of living of the average Amer¬ 
 ican family. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with in¬ 
 dustry representatives, including trade 
 associations, to the extent practicable, 
 and consideration has been given to their 
 recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respects: 
 
 1. Paragraph (a) of section 3 is 
 amended by adding at the end thereof 
 the following subparagraph. 
 
 (112) All dues, fees, assessments and 
 charges for services rendered, to members 
 and their guests by non-profit clubs 
 organized and operated for social and 
 athletic purposes, no part of the earn¬ 
 ings of which accrues to the benefit of 
 any private shareholder. Included in 
 this exemption among others are golf 
 clubs, country clubs, and athletic clubs. 
 
 Effective date. This Amendment 25 to 
 General Overriding Regulation 14 shall 
 be effective October 28, 1952.

 EXEMPTION OF BOAT REPAIRS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950. as amended. Executive Order 
 10161 and Economic Stabilization Agency 
 General Order No. 2. this amendment to 
 General Overriding Regulation 14 is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT of considerations 
 
 In accord with the policy of the Office 
 of Price Stabilization to concentrate its 
 efforts within major areas materially af¬ 
 fecting the cost of living of the average 
 American family, business costs, or the 
 defense program, this amendment ex¬ 
 tends the coverage of GOR 14 to exempt 
 from price control charges made for re¬ 
 pair and conversion of all boats and 
 
 ships. This service does not enter sig¬ 
 nificantly into the cost*of living of the 
 average American family, business costs, 
 or the defense program, and the contin¬ 
 uance of control involves administrative 
 difficulties for OPS and the suppliers 
 concerned which are disproportionate in 
 relationship to the value of such con¬ 
 trol to the price stabilization program. 
 
 All repair and conversion services on 
 boats over 65 feet in length have already 
 been suspended from price control. 
 Since boatyards perform similar services 
 upon boats regardless of the length, the 
 continued control of repair services and 
 conversion of boats 65 feet and under 
 in length present numerous administra¬ 
 tive difficulties for the sellers of these; 
 services. Many boats 65 feet and under 
 in length are pleasure craft, luxury items, 
 the repair and conversion of which have 
 no effect upon the cost of living of the 
 average American family. In addition, 
 sales of all boats and ships have already 
 been suspended from price control by 
 GOR 9, Amendment 24. Inasmuch as 
 the major areas of the boat and ship in¬ 
 dustry have already been removed from 
 control the exemption from control of 
 
 repair and conversion services for all 
 boats and ships will not affect the price 
 stabilization program and will be of sub¬ 
 stantial benefit to the sellers of the serv¬ 
 ices. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment, 
 the Director has consulted with industry 
 representatives including trade associa¬ 
 tion representatives, and has given con¬ 
 sideration to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Paragraph iai of section 3 is amended 
 by adding at the end thereof the follow¬ 
 ing subparagraph:

 Pursuant to the Defense Production

 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 27 to General Overriding 
 Regulation 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OP CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment removes from price 
 control fees and charges for operation 
 of coin operated amusement machines 
 such as juke boxes and other phono¬ 
 graphs, skill games, strength-testing 
 devices, and pinball machines. 
 
 This exemption applies only to ma¬ 
 chines operated for amusement pur¬ 
 
 poses. It does not apply to charges for 
 operation of machines which dispense 
 any commodity, even though those ma¬ 
 chines may also be operated for amuse¬ 
 ment. For example, charges for opera¬ 
 tion of "claw machines" which may 
 dispense articles of merchandise, are not 
 covered. Moreover, charges for rental 
 or maintenance of any coin operated 
 machines are not included in this exemp¬ 
 tion action. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director, con¬ 
 trols over the services exempted by this 
 amendment are not required at this time 
 in order to carry out the purposes of the 
 Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. Experience has shown that 
 the administrative burden of retaining 
 control over such service fees and 
 charges is out of proportion to the bene¬ 
 fits gained. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there was consultation with industry 
 representatives, including trade associa¬ 
 tion representatives to the extent prac¬ 
 ticable, and consideration has been given 
 to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended by adding 
 at the end of paragraph (a) of Section 
 3 a new subparagraph (114) as follows: 
 
 (114) Operation of coin operated 
 amusement machines, including, but not 
 limited to, phonographs, skill games, 
 strength-testing devices and pinball 
 games; provided, however, that this ex¬ 
 emption shall not apply to the charges 
 for operation of machines which dis¬ 
 pense any commodity, whether or not 
 such machines are also operated for 
 amusement.

 CUPPAGE RIGHTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment to General Overriding Regulation 
 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 29 exempts from 
 ceiling price regulations the rates, fees 
 and charges made by timber owners for 
 the right to face, tap or cup standing 
 trees for sap and gum. known in the 
 trade as "cuppage rights”. 
 
 Numerous commodities involved in the 
 production of naval stores have already 
 been removed from price control. These 
 include the sale of crude pine gum. 
 stumpage, and stumps. The situation 
 thus presented is one in which the sale 
 of the right to face, tap or cup standing 
 trees remains under price control, al¬ 
 though sales of stumps, the raw product, 
 and the tree itself are no longer subject 
 to ceiling price regulation. Those items 
 representing the end products of naval 
 stores operations, such as turpentine, 
 rosin, tar, and pine oil which remain 
 under price control are, at present mar¬ 
 ket prices, well below ceiling so that 
 exemption of auxiliary services in con¬ 
 nection therewith will have little, if any, 
 effect upon living costs, business costs, 
 or the national defense effort. 
 
 Approximately 5 percent of the trees 
 faced each year for naval stores products 
 are owned by the United States. Many 
 of the Southern States also lease public 
 lands for cuppage operations. This ex^- 
 emption will permit various government 
 agencies to accept bids for naval stores 
 
 offerings on the basis of current costs 
 and market prices. In the formulation 
 of this amendment, there has been ex¬ 
 tensive consultation with representatives 
 of the Forest Service of the United States 
 Department of Agriculture, the Depart¬ 
 ment of the Interior, and other agencies, 
 and consideration has been given to their 
 recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respects: 
 
 The following new subparagraph is 
 added at the end of paragraph (a) of 
 section 3: 
 
 (116) Cuppage rights. 
 
 Effective date. This Amendment 29 
 to General Overriding Regulation 14

 CENTRAL STATION ELECTRIC PROTECTION 
 SYSTEM SERVICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this amend¬ 
 ment to General Overriding Regulation 
 14, is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 30 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 exempts from ceil¬ 
 ing price regulation the service charges 
 made by central station electric protec¬ 
 tion systems. A central station electric 
 protection system is one in which the op¬ 
 erations of electrical protection circuits 
 and devices are signalled automatically 
 to, recorded in, maintained, and super¬ 
 vised from a central station having 
 trained operators and guards in attend¬ 
 ance at all times. 
 
 Section 3 (a) (67) of General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 exempts “watch¬ 
 man and guard” services from price con¬ 
 trol and is limited in applicability to the 
 services of guards and watchmen who 
 are physically present on the premises at 
 all times during their tour of duty, or 
 who regularly visit the premises on a tour 
 of neighborhood duty. It was not orig¬ 
 inally contemplated that the exemption 
 include protection services rendered by 
 means of electrical or mechanical warn¬ 
 ing devices installed by and leased by 
 companies whose representatives appear 
 
 on the premises in response to any alarm 
 given by the warning device. 
 
 The present action now exempting 
 these protective services is consistent 
 with previous exemptions granted by the 
 Office of Price Stabilization in General 
 Overriding Regulation 14. These in¬ 
 clude the exemption of rates, fees and 
 charges of detective agencies by section 
 3 (a) (16) ; watchman and guard serv¬ 
 ices by section 3 (a) (67) and armored 
 car transportation services rates and 
 charges by section 3 (a) (103). 
 
 The types of protection services in¬ 
 volved here are very similar to those of 
 the ordinary watchman or guard. The 
 essential difference is that central sta¬ 
 tion systems depend mainly upon electri¬ 
 cal signalling devices rather than physi¬ 
 cal presence on the protected premises. 
 The most common type of system now in 
 use provides for the maintenance of a 
 central station staffed with uniformed 
 guards and other personnel on a twenty- 
 four hour basis for the purpose of inves¬ 
 tigating and responding to alarms and 
 other danger signals. 
 
 Several different types of services are 
 supplied by these sellers, including bur¬ 
 glar alarm, fire alarm, night watch, and 
 sprinkler supervision, either by the use 
 of automatic signalling devices or the 
 supervision of regular guards employed 
 by the buyer of the service. In addition, 
 maintenance, installation, inspection, 
 and related services are performed with 
 respect to the electrical devices. As a 
 practical matter, however, the purchaser 
 of central station protection services pays 
 for the potential personal service of 
 guards and watchmen. 
 
 Because of the nature of these services, 
 ceiling price regulation is difficult. The 
 expense of establishing and maintaining 
 a central station requires that those 
 sellers negotiate long-term contracts, 
 usually for five year periods. Thus, only 
 
 about one-fifth of the outstanding con¬ 
 tract prices may be adjusted in any given 
 year. Since labor represents approxi¬ 
 mately 50 percent of total operating 
 costs, fluctuations in this cost, which oc¬ 
 cur constantly, require that these sellers 
 have some degree of flexibility in order 
 to adjust their operating ratios. Fur¬ 
 ther, rates charged for these services are 
 affected by diverse factors in each case, 
 depending upon the type of service sup¬ 
 plied, the value of the property protec¬ 
 ted, and the degree of coverage. In view 
 of these facts and the previous exemp¬ 
 tions granted in the general field of pro¬ 
 tective services, it is felt that the admin¬ 
 istrative workload involved does not war¬ 
 rant continued price regulation of this 
 limited segment of the protective serv¬ 
 ices field. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade asso¬ 
 ciation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 31 to General Overriding Regula¬ 
 tion 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 In continuance of the policy of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization to concen¬ 
 trate its efforts within major areas affect¬ 
 ing the cost of living, business costs, and 
 the defense program, this amendment 
 extends the coverage of General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 to exempt various 
 services which do not exert a significant 
 effect upon the cost of living of the 
 average American family or business 
 costs and the continued control of which 
 involves administrative difficulties which 
 are disproportionate in relationship to 
 the value of such control to the stabili¬ 
 zation program. 
 
 Advertising agencies have already 
 been decontrolled and the provisions of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended, preclude control over radio 
 and television broadcasting. Agencies 
 that sell radio and television time, while 
 in a separate category, perform func¬ 
 tions that are incident to those per¬ 
 formed by both the advertising and 
 broadcasting industries. It is therefore 
 not advisable to continue control over 
 this group of service suppliers while con¬ 
 tiguous service suppliers at both ends of 
 its operation are not under control. 
 For similar reasons this amendment ex¬ 
 empts from control the fees and charges 
 of nursing homes and managers and 
 agents of professional entertainers. 
 
 Charges for services and commodities 
 incidental thereto, made by non-profit 
 summer camps, whose total charges do 
 not exceed $30 per week per camper, 
 have previously been exempted from 
 price control. Experience and adminis¬ 
 trative convenience dictate that the en¬ 
 tire children’s camp industry be exempt 
 from controls. It is not to be expected 
 that this action will affect the average 
 American family, because summer camps 
 for children which charge more than 
 $30 per week per camper are “luxury” 
 services which do not exert a significant 
 effect upon the average American 
 family’s cost of living. 
 
 The following additional luxury serv¬ 
 ice items which have little effect upon 
 
 the cost of living of the average Ameri¬ 
 can family, are also exempted: travel 
 agents and travel bureaus; cleaning and 
 upkeep of non-commercial residential 
 pools. 
 
 Further, this amendment exempts 
 from price control charges made for the 
 rental of costumes, dress suits, uniforms, 
 and ecclesiastical, academic and frater¬ 
 nal order vestments. Sales of costumes, 
 dress suits, uniforms, and ecclesiastical, 
 academic and fraternal order vestments 
 have already been decontrolled. These 
 garments are rented by only a few per¬ 
 sons for special and limited uses, often 
 they are made to order and specification, 
 repeat orders are rare, and the demand 
 for them is highly inelastic. It is clear 
 that they do not have a significant effect 
 upon the cost of living or business costs. 
 
 Changing economic conditions within 
 the tallow and gluestock industries in¬ 
 fluenced the exemption of the fees 
 charged by Tenderers for the removal of 
 dead stock and animals. For example, 
 tallow and gluestock prices have fallen 
 greatly, and the cost of furnishing the 
 removal service now exceeds the value 
 of the carcass. This aggravates the ad¬ 
 ministrative difficulties attendant upon 
 establishing a realistic ceiling price for 
 the removal services. The exemption of 
 this service will have no effect upon the 
 cost of living nor on business costs, and 
 its effect upon the farmer will be negli¬ 
 gible because of its infrequent use. The 
 fluctuations in the value of the carcass 
 impose administrative burdens that ren¬ 
 der control over the service inadvisable 
 in view of the negligible effect upon the 
 economy. 
 
 Services rendered by better business 
 bureaus, mercantile agencies, collection 
 agencies and personal credit reporting 
 and investigatory agencies are being de¬ 
 controlled because they have only a 
 minor effect upon business costs, and 
 many phases of their operations have 
 already been removed from control. The 
 intangible nature of the commercial 
 forecasting and investigating activities 
 of these service suppliers makes con¬ 
 tinued price control difficult, and imprac¬ 
 tical in view of the concentration of this 
 agency’s efforts within major areas af¬ 
 fecting our economy. For similar rea¬ 
 sons business consultants and traffic con¬ 
 sultants are exempt from control. 
 
 The exemption for pharmacists, regis¬ 
 tered, is extended to include oral pre¬ 
 scriptions that are promptly reduced to 
 writing, and conforms with the Hum- 
 phrey-Durham Bill, Public Law 215, 82d 
 Congress, Chapter 578, 1st Session, H. R. 
 3298. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there was consultation with industry 
 representatives, including trade associa¬ 
 tion representatives to the extent prac¬ 
 ticable, and consideration has been given 
 to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respects: 
 
 1. Subparagraph (47) of paragraph 
 (a) of section 3 is amended to read as

 ing prescriptions which require the serv¬ 
 ices of a registered pharmacist, and 
 which contain a physician’s, dentist’s, 
 veterinarian’s, or any other licensed 
 practitioner’s written (oral, if prompt¬ 
 ly reduced to writing) directions as to 
 use, and is signed by him; provided, 
 however, that where a registered phar¬ 
 macist sells a product without transpos¬ 
 ing the written directions from the pre¬ 
 scription to the label, that is the sale of 
 a commodity and is not exempt under 
 this regulation. 
 
 2. Subparagraph 69 of paragraph (a) 
 of section 3 is amended as follows: 
 
 (69) Advertising agencies and those 
 agencies that sell radio and television 
 time.

 MISCELLANEOUS AMENDMENTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive 
 Order 10161. and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment to General Overriding Regulation 
 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 extends the list of 
 exemptions contained in that regulation 
 to include the rates, fees, and charges 
 for services furnished by horseshoers and 
 trade embalmers; to include royalties 
 paid to landowners or their assignees in 
 connection with the mining of iron ore; 
 and to suspend from price control, until 
 further notice, the rates, fees, and 
 charges for bottling bulk wines and 
 whiskeys. 
 
 Prices charged for horseshoeing serv¬ 
 ices are exempted because they have 
 only an insignificant effect upon the cost 
 of living and the administrative burden 
 attendant upon the control outweighs 
 its benefit to the price stabilization pro¬ 
 gram. 
 
 Prices for the services of trade em¬ 
 balmers are exempted because their con¬ 
 trol involves administrative difficulties 
 for OPS, and for funeral directors, which, 
 since prices for funeral services remain 
 under control, and such an exemption 
 will, therefore, not result in increased 
 charges to the public, outweigh the ad¬ 
 vantages of control. Trade embalmers 
 are independent contractors who supply 
 embalming services to funeral directors, 
 but payment for their services generally 
 approximate wages paid to employee- 
 embalmers. When trade embalmers and 
 employee-embalmers belong to the same 
 union, the union generally suggests an 
 increase in the prices paid to trade em¬ 
 balmers commensurate with the increase 
 in wages obtained by employee-embalm¬ 
 ers. Any such increase, however, now 
 requires OPS authorization. There are 
 only about 200 trade embalmers in the 
 United States; most are small service 
 sellers; and their average income is about 
 $5,000 per year. 
 
 A large proportion of all iron ore pro¬ 
 duced in the United States is mined 
 
 from lands owned, in fee simple by the 
 companies that mine the ore from them, 
 or by companies affiliated with the min¬ 
 ing companies, or by the States in which 
 the lands are located. 
 
 When the mining company itself owns 
 the land on which it operates, no royal¬ 
 ties, of course, are paid. When a com¬ 
 pany affiliated with the mining company 
 owns the land on which the mining com¬ 
 pany operates, royalties paid are sub¬ 
 stantially sim.lar to transfers between 
 different divisions or units of the same 
 corporation, and any increase in the 
 amount of such royalty transfers would 
 not affect the level cf royalty prices, 
 or the ceiling prices for iron ore, or for 
 the iron and steel products made from 
 iron ore. Such royalties should, there¬ 
 fore, be exempt from price stabilization. 
 
 In the Defense Production Act Amend¬ 
 ment of 1952 extending the Defense 
 Production Act of 1950, Congress specifi¬ 
 cally exempted from price control the 
 rates, fees, and charges for materials or 
 services supplied directly by the States 
 or their agencies, and pursuant to this 
 Amendment, General Overriding Regu¬ 
 lation 11, Revision 2, exempts such ma¬ 
 terials and services. Royalties paid to 
 any State or its agencies, in connection 
 with iron ore produced from lands it 
 owns, are not now, therefore, subject 
 to price control. 
 
 Since so large a proportion of the iron 
 ore mined is produced, without payment 
 of royalties, from lands owned by the 
 mining companies; or the royalties 
 therefor are now exempt under General 
 Overriding Regulation 11, Revision 2; or 
 should be exempted as transactions be¬ 
 tween affiliated companies, the burden of 
 administering price controls over the 
 remainder of such royalties, in view of 
 the diversity and complexity of the roy¬ 
 alty arrangements, outweighs the ad¬ 
 vantages to be derived from such control. 
 All royalties paid in connection with the 
 mining of iron ore are, therefore, ex¬ 
 empted by this amendment. This action 
 will not affect the prices for iron ore 
 sold by the producers or the prices for 
 iron and steel products made from iron 
 ore. 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 7, Re¬ 
 vision 1, as amended, suspends until 
 further notice, the application of all 
 ceiling price regulations, heretofore or 
 hereafter issued, to sellers of wines and 
 whiskeys, both bulk and packaged, for 
 off-premises consumption. The reason 
 for this action is that the prices for 
 these commodities are substantially be¬ 
 low ceilings and are not expected to rise 
 above ceilings in the forseeable future. 
 One of the reasons for the reduced price 
 
 to the consumer is the large amounts of 
 bulk wines and whiskeys being sold by 
 wineries and distilleries to distributors 
 who have it bottled under their own 
 brand names for distribution through 
 their own outlets. Competition among 
 small distillers and wineries for this 
 kind of business is so keen that there is 
 little or no likelihood a suspension of the 
 application of ceiling price regulations 
 to the services of bottling bulk wines and 
 whiskeys will result in an increased price 
 for such services. The same considera¬ 
 tions do not extend to the bottling of 
 other distilled spirits. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus- 
 ry representatives, including trade asso¬ 
 ciation representatives, to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director of 
 Price Stabilization the provisions of this 
 amendment are generally fair and 
 equitable and are proper in the adminis¬ 
 tration of Title IV of the Defense Pro¬ 
 duction Act of 1950, as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the 
 following respects: 
 
 1. Paragraph (a) of section 3 is 
 amended by adding at the end thereof 
 the following: 
 
 (128) Horseshoers. 
 
 (129) Trade Embalmers. 
 
 2. A new paragraph (b) is added to 
 section 3 to read as follows: 
 
 (b) No ceiling price regulation now or 
 hereafter issued by the Office of Price 
 Stabilization shall apply to royalties paid 
 to a landowner, or his assignee or sub¬

 CERTAIN SPORT EVENTS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 33 to General Overriding 
 Regulation 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OP CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment exempts from ceil¬ 
 ing price regulation admission charges 
 to certain special sport events if the 
 seller presents such events for less than 
 14 days in any calendar year. This ex¬ 
 
 emption covers only the occasional seller 
 and is therefore limited to relatively few 
 sport events. Admission charges for 
 spectators to view special golf, tennis 
 and swimming events are affected by this 
 exemption if supplied by the occasional 
 seller. The Director may from time to 
 time enlarge the group of special sport¬ 
 ing events. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director, con¬ 
 trols over admission charges to sport 
 events exempted by this amendment are 
 not required at this time in order to 
 carry out the purposes of the Defense 
 Production Act of 1950, as amended. 
 Such services do not enter significantly 
 into the cost of living of the average 
 American family and are administra¬ 
 tively impracticable and burdensome to 
 both OPS and the service seller in rela¬ 
 tion to the stabilization benefits obtained 
 by continued regulation. 
 
 In view of the technical nature of this 
 amendment, special circumstances have 
 
 rendered consultation with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives including trade association 
 representatives, impracticable. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended by adding 
 at the end of paragraph (a) of section 3 
 a new subparagraph (130) as follows: 
 
 (130) Admission charges to view golf, 
 tennis or swimming events provided that 
 the seller presents such events for less 
 than 14 days in any calendar year.

 TRAILER ACCOMMODATIONS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.) 
 as amended, Executive Order 10161 (15 
 F. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Amendment 34 to General 
 Overriding Regulation 14 is hereby 
 issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment revokes subpara¬ 
 graph (1) of section 4 (a) which sus¬ 
 pends rates and charges for trailer ac¬ 
 commodations, limited to those trailer 
 accommodations also subject to rent 
 control ceilings imposed by the Office of 
 Rent Stabilization and adds trailer ac¬ 
 commodations to the list of exempted 
 services infection 3. 
 
 Under subparagraph (1) of section 
 4 (a), the suspension or decontrol of 
 rent ceilings by the Office of Rent Sta¬ 
 bilization automatically places such ac¬ 
 
 commodations under Ceiling Price Reg¬ 
 ulation 34. 
 
 It appears that the rental of trailer 
 space falls into two distinct classes: (1> 
 The rental of such spaces on a transient 
 basis and (2) the rental of such spaces, 
 either with or without the trailer on 
 such space, with the intention that the 
 trailer be used as a residence by the oc¬ 
 cupant. This includes the frequent sit¬ 
 uations where the operator of a trailer 
 park owns the trailers located in the park 
 and rents them as living accommoda¬ 
 tions to various individuals. 
 
 When the Office of Rent Stabilization 
 removes controls for such accommoda¬ 
 tions used for housing purposes, irre¬ 
 spective of whether trailer unit being 
 used as a residence is owned by the oper¬ 
 ator of the trailer park or the individual 
 living in the trailer this amendment per¬ 
 mits owners of the space occupied by the 
 trailer to receive the same benefits as 
 other lessors of housing accommodations. 
 It does not of course, affect areas in 
 which the Office of Rent Stabilization 
 maintains controls on the rental of 
 trailers as housing accommodations. 
 
 With respect to trailer spaces rented 
 to transient trailer owners, it would be 
 administratively impracticable to require 
 trailer park operators to maintain ceil¬ 
 ing prices for such services. Conse¬ 
 quently, it has been determined that all 
 
 charges for the rental of trailer space 
 should be exempted. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment, 
 there has been consultation with in¬ 
 dustry representatives, including trade 
 association representatives, and consid¬ 
 eration has been given to their recom¬ 
 mendations. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director, the 
 exemptions provided for by this amend¬ 
 ment will not defeat or impair the price 
 stabilization program or the objectives 
 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respects:

 SUSPENSION OF CERTAIN APPAREL MANUFAC¬ 
 TURING SERVICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 35 to General Overriding Regula¬ 
 tion 14, is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment adds to the list of 
 services suspended from price control by 
 section 4, paragraph (b) of General 
 Overriding Regulation 14, all services 
 performed in the manufacture of ap¬ 
 parel, apparel furnishings and acces¬ 
 sories, and their component parts, as to 
 which sales by the manufacturer have 
 been suspended or exempted from price 
 control. 
 
 Price control over certain apparel com¬ 
 modities has been suspended because 
 their prices have persistently declined 
 from the peaks which were reached in 
 July 1951 and there are no indications 
 that they will increase significantly in 
 the foreseeable future. In general, a 
 
 strongly competitive condition in the ap¬ 
 parel market has a depressive effect upon 
 the charges for services connected with 
 the manufacture of apparel. These serv¬ 
 ices are in more than ample supply and 
 this has made for strong competition 
 among apparel contractors. A continu¬ 
 ance of the apparel price decline would 
 result in pressure for lower service 
 charges; but even if the decline should 
 cease and apparel prices should level off, 
 steady resistance to any increased serv¬ 
 ice charges can be expected so long as 
 apparel prices do not show a significant 
 rise. It is not anticipated that apparel 
 prices will rise significantly in the fore¬ 
 seeable future, consequently it appears 
 that market forces will also operate to 
 prevent general increases in apparel 
 service charges. 
 
 Since the foregoing considerations are 
 applicable to charges for services per¬ 
 formed in the manufacture of the ap¬ 
 parel heretofore exempted from price 
 control, this amendment includes such 
 charges as well as those for services per¬ 
 formed in the manufacture of the 
 apparel previously suspended from price 
 control. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director, price 
 control over the services suspended by 
 this amendment is not required at this 
 time in order to carry out the purposes 
 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
 as amended. The Director may at any 
 time terminate or modify this suspension 
 if he determines that such action is nec¬ 
 
 essary in the interest of the stabiliza¬ 
 tion program. In any event, this sus¬ 
 pension will be terminated as to a service 
 when the apparel on which that service 
 is performed is again brought under 
 price control. 
 
 All records which were required to be 
 prepared and preserved under applicable 
 ceiling price regulations in effect prior 
 to this suspension must continue to be 
 preserved. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 try representatives, including trade asso¬ 
 ciation representatives to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 4 of General Overriding Regu¬ 
 lation 14, as amended, is further amend¬ 
 ed by adding the following subparagraph 
 (6) to paragraph (b) thereof: 
 
 (6) All services performed in the man¬ 
 ufacture of apparel, apparel furnishings 
 and accessories, and their component 
 parts, as to which sales by the manu¬ 
 facturer have been suspended or ex¬ 
 empted from price control.

 Pursuant to the Defense Production

 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this Amend¬ 
 ment 36 to General Overriding Regula¬ 
 tion 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 In continuance of the policy of the 
 Office of Price Stabilization to concen¬ 
 trate its efforts within major areas 
 affecting the cost of living, business costs, 
 and the defense program, this amend¬ 
 ment extends the coverage of General 
 Overriding Regulation 14 to exempt vari¬ 
 ous services which do not exert a sig¬ 
 nificant effect upon the cost of living of 
 the average American family or business 
 costs and the continued control of which 
 involves administrative difficulties which 
 
 are disproportionate in relationship to 
 the value of such control to the stabi¬ 
 lization program. Included in this 
 amendment are nurses’ registries and 
 fees paid by public utilities to their au¬ 
 thorized pay stations. 
 
 Nurses and nursing homes have al¬ 
 ready been decontrolled. Further, the 
 dues and fees of non-profit associations, 
 where such dues and fees are not in whole 
 or in part charged for the rendering of a 
 specific service have been decontrolled 
 and some nurses’ registries fall within 
 this exemption. Inasmuch as many of 
 the professional service aspects of nurs¬ 
 ing have been decontrolled, adminis¬ 
 trative convenience dictates that all 
 nurses' registries be removed from price 
 control. It is not to be expected that 
 this action will have a significant effect 
 upon the cost of living, if any. 
 
 Fees and charges paid by public utili¬ 
 ties to their authorized pay stations are 
 decontrolled because they are but an in¬ 
 significant part of business costs and the 
 administrative problems attendant upon 
 control of this service outweigh the ad¬ 
 vantages of such control. The fees paid 
 to pay stations for this service are small 
 by comparison to the cost of the utilities 
 if they were to maintain branch offices. 
 Since utility rates are based upon the 
 
 actual cost of operation, the maintenance 
 of the pay stations in lieu of branch of¬ 
 fices results in lower public utility rates 
 to the consumer. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there was consultation with industry rep¬ 
 resentatives, including trade association 
 representatives to the extent practicable, 
 and consideration has been given to their 
 recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respects: 
 
 1. The following new subparagraphs 
 (132) and (133) are added at the end of

 utilities to their authorized pay stations.

 TELEPHONE CHARGES BY HOTELS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950 (Pub. Law 774, 81st Cong.) 
 as amended. Executive Order 10161 (15 
 F. R. 6105), and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2 (16 F. R. 
 738), this Amendment 37 to General 
 Overriding Regulation 14 is hereby is¬ 
 sued. 
 
 STATEMENT OP CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 37 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 removes from price 
 stabilization regulations surcharges for 
 telephone services made by hotels for 
 such services rendered to their guests. 
 
 Most hotels provide switchboard tele¬ 
 phone service as an incident of their pri¬ 
 mary function of providing living accom¬ 
 modations to the guests. In such in¬ 
 stances the telephone equipment, the 
 switchboard and necessary extensions, is 
 leased from the telephone company and 
 the lessee is charged for the service at 
 the scheduled rate of the telephone com¬ 
 pany established by state and federal 
 
 regulatory authorities. In the opera¬ 
 tion of such switchboard equipment the 
 hotel provides the operator. Hotels cus¬ 
 tomarily make a surcharge for outgoing 
 local telephone calls of their guests in 
 addition to the telephone company’s 
 charge to offset in part the expense of 
 providing those services. 
 
 The provisions of this amendment do 
 not extend to charges for telephone 
 answering services or charges for tele¬ 
 phone services rendered through switch¬ 
 boards in establishments other than 
 hotels as defined in the Housing and 
 Rent Act of 1949. In addition, it ap¬ 
 plies only where the surcharge is made 
 on each call. Where a flat fee is charged 
 for secretarial desk service in addition 
 to switchboard telephone service, the ad¬ 
 ditional services are not separable from 
 the local telephone call surcharge, and 
 such fees are not included in this exemp¬ 
 tion. 
 
 The administrative difficulty of main¬ 
 taining controls on these telephone serv¬ 
 ices, and their insignificant effect upon 
 the cost of living of the average Ameri¬ 
 can family justify their exemption at 
 this time. 
 
 In the formulation of this amend¬ 
 ment informal consultation has been 
 held with representatives of the indus¬ 
 try, including trade association repre¬ 
 sentatives, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 In the judgment of the Director the 
 provisions of this amendment are gen¬ 
 erally fair and equitable and are proper 
 to effectuate the purposes of Title IV of 
 the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
 amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 (1) Section 3 (a) of General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 is amended by add¬ 
 ing at the end thereof the following: 
 
 (134) Switchboard services in placing 
 outgoing non-toll telephone calls for 
 guests of hotels where the charge is made 
 for each call. For the purposes of this 
 exemption a hotel is any establishment 
 which is commonly known as a hotel in 
 the community in which it is located, 
 which customarily provides rooms for 
 transient guests who are provided cus¬ 
 tomary hotel services such as maid serv¬ 
 ice, furnishing and laundering of linen, 
 telephone and secretarial desk service, 
 use and upkeep of furniture and fixtures, 
 and bellboy service.

 TOWING SERVICES PERFORMED BY TUG AND 
 BARGE OPERATORS WITHIN A SINGLE HAR¬ 
 BOR AREA OR BETWEEN ADJOINING HARBOR 
 AREAS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Or¬ 
 der 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this amend¬ 
 ment 38 to General Overriding Regula¬ 
 tion 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment exempts from price 
 control towing services performed by tug 
 and barge operators within a single har¬ 
 bor or between adjoining harbor areas, 
 including the furnishing and renting of 
 tug boats, barges, scows, and lighters for 
 use within such area or areas. 
 
 The majority of persons engaged in 
 these types of operations are common 
 
 carriers subject to the jurisdiction of the 
 Interstate Commerce Commission and, 
 as such, are exempt from price control. 
 It is the opinion of the Director of Price 
 Stabilization that this circumstance will 
 negate the possibility of untoward price 
 increases by the parties exempted from 
 price control by this amendment since 
 the bulk, of their competition will come 
 from parties subject to Interstate Com¬ 
 merce Commission rate control. 
 
 The rates and charges of this industry 
 have little effect upon the cost of living 
 since towing charges represent only a 
 minute portion of the retail price of any 
 commodity. Because of the small size of 
 this industry little or no contribution to 
 the stabilization program would be made 
 by a continuation of price control in this 
 field. Further, the continuing of price 
 control would impose undue administra¬ 
 tive burden upon the Office of Price Sta¬ 
 bilization since this industry is composed 
 of many small-scale operators using 
 many types of equipment and operating 
 under varying rate structures thus mak¬ 
 ing rate adjustments and enforcement 
 extremely difficult. 
 
 In the formulation of this amendment 
 there has been consultation with indus¬ 
 
 try representatives, including trade asso¬ 
 ciation representatives, and considera¬ 
 tion has been given to their views. In 
 the judgment of the Director of Price 
 Stabilization this amendment is fair and 
 equitable and will serve to effectuate the 
 purposes of the Defense Production Act 
 of 1950, as amended. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended by adding 
 at the end of paragraph (a) of section 
 3 a new subparagraph (135), as follows: 
 
 (135) Charges for towing services per¬ 
 formed by tug and barge operators 
 within a single harbor area or between 
 adjoining harbor areas, including the 
 furnishing and renting of tug boats, 
 barges, scows, and lighters for use within 
 such area or areas. 
 
 (Sec. 704, 64 Stat. 816, as amended; 50 U. S. C.

 This amendment to General Overrid¬ 
 ing Regulation 14 is effective February 
 9, 1953.

 ADDITIONAL EXCEPTED SERVICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended. Executive Order 
 10l6l (15 F. R. 6105), and Economic Sta¬ 
 bilization Agency General Order No. 2 
 (16 F. R. 738), this Amendment 39 to 
 General Overriding Regulation 14 is 
 hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This Amendment 39 to General Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 extends the list of 
 exemptions contained in that regulation 
 to include fees for the services of weigh¬ 
 ing, placing on and taking off scales, 
 extracting samples, coopering and re¬ 
 marking rendered on or to bulk or part 
 cargoes of commodities of foreign origin 
 and which are in the process of being 
 imported into the United States or sold 
 or distributed after importation into the 
 United States but before any domestic 
 processing or fabrication. 
 
 In line with the policy of OPS to ex¬ 
 empt services which have minor signifi¬ 
 cance and negligible effect upon costs, 
 this amendment exempts these par¬ 
 ticularly described services supplied by 
 certain weighers and samplers. The 
 charge for these services is quoted on 
 imported commodities in bulk or in large 
 lots. Charges in most cases are figured 
 in the hundredths of one cent per pound 
 
 and in some cases in the thousandths of 
 one cent per pound. There is no evi¬ 
 dence that decontrol of the service will 
 have a significant adverse effect on the 
 price level when considered in conjunc¬ 
 tion with previous decontrol of the re¬ 
 lated service of stevedoring. Exemption 
 from control of these services present no 
 substantial threat of diversion of mate¬ 
 rials and manpower from sellers remain¬ 
 ing under control, and is a non-retail 
 service which does not enter significantly 
 into the cost of living of the average 
 American family or into business costs. 
 
 Also exempted are rates, fees and 
 charges for certain premium redemption 
 facilities. It is customary for certain 
 manufacturers to use premium coupons 
 as a form of advertising for their prod¬ 
 ucts, and to pay the firm which redeems 
 the coupons a service charge for this 
 service, in order to divide the operating 
 expenses among the cooperating firms. 
 The participating manufacturers main¬ 
 tain the premium coupon arrangement 
 as a form of advertising for the end 
 products which they manufacture and 
 sell, but the ceiling prices of the end 
 products are governed by other ceiling 
 regulations. The cost of the cooperative 
 premium coupon redemption service is 
 a very small portion of the total cost of 
 selling and advertising such end prod¬ 
 ucts. Furthermore, there are only four 
 or five companies which perform such a 
 service as this, and the volume of the 
 service is insignificant. This non-retail 
 service does not enter significantly into 
 the cost of living of the average Amer¬ 
 ican family or into business costs. 
 
 The control of these services involves 
 administrative difficulties for OPS and 
 
 for the sellers of these services which are 
 disproportionate in relation to the effec¬ 
 tiveness of the control and the contribu¬ 
 tion to the price stabilization program. 
 
 Prior to the formulation of these 
 amendments, consultation was had with 
 industry representatives, including trade 
 association representatives to the extent 
 practicable, and consideration has been 
 given to their recommendations. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14, as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respects: 
 
 Paragraph (a) of section 3 is amended 
 by adding at the end thereof the 
 following: 
 
 (136) Rates, fees and charges for the 
 services of weighing, placing on and tak¬ 
 ing off scales, extracting samples, coop¬ 
 ering and re-marking rendered on or to 
 bulk or part cargoes of commodities of 
 foreign origin, which are in the process 
 of being imported into the United States 
 or which are sold or distributed after 
 importation into the United States be¬ 
 fore any domestic processing or fabri¬ 
 cation. 
 
 (137) Charges made for the coopera¬ 
 tive redemption of premium plan 
 coupons.

 EXEMPTION OF PREVIOUSLY SUSPENDED 
 
 SERVICES AND ADDITIONAL EXEMPTIONS 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161, and Ecoriomic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 40 to General Overriding 
 Regulation 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 The President of the United States has 
 announced that he does not intend to ask 
 for a renewal of price control authority 
 on April 30, 1953, when the present leg¬ 
 islation expires. He has stated that in 
 the meantime, steps will be taken to 
 eliminate controls in an orderly manner. 
 The Office of Price Stabilization has been 
 instructed to proceed accordingly. 
 
 This amendment to GOR 14 is one of 
 the actions in which OPS is carrying out 
 that instruction. 
 
 GOR 14 was issued to provide, so far as 
 practicable, a single listing of services as 
 to which changing conditions justified 
 suspension or removal of price ceilings. 
 This amendment exempts from price 
 control all services, except laundry, 
 linen and diaper supply and dry clean¬ 
 ing services; services supplied to com¬ 
 mercial, industrial or governmental pur¬ 
 
 chasers to the extent that such services 
 are used directly in the processing or 
 manufacturing of commodities which re¬ 
 main under price control; and brokerage 
 fees and agency commissions charged 
 for commodity or services sales which 
 are under ceiling price control. 
 
 Warehousing, dock and terminal serv¬ 
 ices and all transportation services in¬ 
 cluding the rental of cars and other 
 transportation equipment are exempted 
 from price control. 
 
 All services previously suspended un¬ 
 der General Overriding Regulation 14 
 and Supplementary Regulation 15 to the 
 General Ceiling Price Regulation are 
 exempted from price control by this 
 amendment. 
 
 This amendment also expressly con¬ 
 tinues the requirements heretofore in 
 effect under the applicable regulations 
 respecting preservation of records as to 
 past transactions. 
 
 In view of the special nature and basis 
 of this amendment consultation with in¬ 
 dustry representatives was impracticable 
 and unnecessary. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 General Overriding Regulation 14 as 
 amended, is further amended in the fol¬ 
 lowing respects: 
 
 1. Paragraph (a) of section 3 is 
 amended by adding at the end thereof 
 the following: 
 
 (138) All warehousing, dock and ter¬ 
 minal services. 
 
 (139) Transportation services includ¬ 
 ing rentals of cars and other transporta¬ 
 tion equipment. 
 
 (140) All services as to which ceiling 
 prices have been suspended under sec¬ 
 tion 4 (b) or under Supplementary Reg¬ 
 ulation 15 to the General Ceiling Price 
 Regulation. 
 
 (141) All other services except the 
 following: 
 
 (i) Laundry, linen and diaper supply, 
 and dry cleaning. 
 
 (ii) Services supplied to commercial, 
 industrial or governmental purchasers to 
 the extent that such services are used 
 directly in the processing or manufac¬ 
 turing of commodities which are under 
 ceiling price regulation. 
 
 (iii) All brokerage fees and agency 
 commissions charged for commodity or 
 service sales which are under ceiling 
 price regulation. 
 
 2. The following sentence is added af¬ 
 ter the first sentence in paragraph (a) 
 of section 3: “However, any record re¬ 
 lating to a service exempted from price 
 control which you were required to have 
 immediately prior to such exemption 
 shall continue to be preserved and made 
 available for examination by OPS or any 
 other authorized agency of the United 
 States, in the manner and for the period 
 stipulated in the regulation requiring 
 you to have such record.”

 LAUNDRY, DRY CLEANING AND INDUSTRIAL 
 SERVICES 
 
 Pursuant to the Defense Production 
 Act of 1950, as amended, Executive Order 
 10161, and Economic Stabilization 
 Agency General Order No. 2, this 
 Amendment 41 to General Overriding 
 Regulation 14 is hereby issued. 
 
 STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATIONS 
 
 This amendment to General Overrid¬ 
 ing Regulation 14 is in furtherance of 
 the directive of the President of the 
 United States that the price control pro¬ 
 
 gram be terminated in an orderly 
 manner. 
 
 This amendment removes laundry, 
 linen and diaper supply, and dry clean¬ 
 ing services from ceiling price control. 
 Previously all “consumer" type services 
 except laundry, linen and diaper supply, 
 and dry cleaning services, were freed 
 from ceiling price control by Amend¬ 
 ment 40 to GOR 14. 
 
 This amendment also exempts from 
 price control all industrial services ex¬ 
 cept those specifically covered by Ceiling 
 Price Regulation 156, “Fabricated Struc¬ 
 tural Steel, Miscellaneous and Orna¬ 
 mental Iron and Vessel Shop Products 
 for Field Assembly or Erection.” 
 
 As a result of this amendment, the 
 only services remaining under price con¬ 
 trol will be those covered by CPR 156, 
 and brokerage fees in connection with 
 sales of commodities still under control. 
 
 In view of the special nature and basis 
 of this amendment, consultation with 
 industry representatives was impracti¬ 
 cable and unnecessary. 
 
 AMENDATORY PROVISIONS 
 
 Section 3 (a) (141) of Gener. Over¬ 
 riding Regulation 14 is amended to read 
 as folhiws: 
 
 (141) All other services except the 
 following: 
 
 (i) Services covered by Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 156, “Fabricated Structural 
 Steel, Miscellaneous and Ornamental 
 Iron and Vessel Shop Products for Field 
 Assembly or Erection.” 
 
 (iii) All brokerage fees and agency 
 commissions charged for commodity or 
 service sales which are under ceiling 
 price regulation.

 GOR 14, SEC 3(a) 30 
 
 INTEREST FOR THE USE OF MONEY 
 Credit charges—not within exemption 
 
 During the base period, a retailer sold electrical and gas appliances for cash 
 or under a time payment plan. Under the latter plan he charged 5 % per annum computed 
 on the unpaid portion of the selling price. For example, assume that the cash selling 
 price of an appliance was $130.00, of which $30.00 was paid in cash and the balance 
 was to be paid over a period of one year. To the $100.00 balance was added $5.00, or 
 5 % per annum, making a total of $135.00 to be paid off in installments. The retailer 
 now desires to increase from 5 % to 6 % this charge for installment purchases. It is 
 contended that the charge is "interest for the use of money" and therefore exempt 
 from price control by GOR 14, Section 3(a) (30). 
 
 This 5 % per annum charge, although expressed as interest, is not interest for 
 the use of money. It is a percentage differential, for the sale of a commodity on 
 installment terms, which may not be increased under either Section 9 of the GCPR or 
 Section 55(c) of CPR 7. The "interest" exemption of GOR 14 presupposes that the 
 interest be in connection with an actual loan of money.

 charges for services falling within the scope of his occupation are exempt. The charges 
 to the consumer made by anyone who employs him however, are not exempt. Hence the 
 charges to the public of a dance hall proprietor for the services of a taxi dancer 
 are not exempt.

 EXEMPTIONS 
 
 Professional services not exempt unless performed by professional person 
 
 The exemption under Section 3(a)(4) of GOR 14 extends only to a person who is an 
 architect and who is performing architectural services. Under no circumstances would 
 a person who is a designer and not an architect, but who performs architectural 
 services, be entitled to an exemption even for those services, since he is not a pro¬ 
 fessional architect. These same standards apply to any professional service rendered.

 This particular Bureau is not exempt under that Section of GOR 14. It

 the organization performs the specific service of furnishing to its mem¬

 operating in the community and therefore is performing' such a specific

 by schools and educational institutions as described in Section 3(a)(21) is exempt

 Admission charges to college football game, actually staged by a state or state 
 agency is regulated by Section 3(a)109 of GOR 14 and this section is not inappli¬ 
 cable since some of the proceeds are paid over to a "Bowl Athletic Association". 
 
 This does not necessarily include "a participation by said association in the pro¬

 of facilities and a part of the expense of staging the event. Admissions, however, to 
 an annual holiday game staged by the athletic association, a profit organization, 
 remain subject to CPR 34.

 The university is governed by a Board of Trustees appointed by the General Assembly

 cally all of its funds are appropriated by the State legislature. Among the inciden¬ 
 tal services rendered by the university is included the laundry in question, which is 
 used primarily by students or members of the institution. The general public uses 
 about ten percent of these laundry facilities. 
 
 State universities are considered to be agencies of the state within the meaning

 versity are exempt from price stabilization by such section.

 TOLL ROADS 
 
 Maine Turnpike Authority considered agency of the State 
 
 The question presented is whether the Maine Turnpike Authority is covered by the 
 exemption of services supplied directly by the State as set forth in Amendment 2 to 
 GOR 14. 
 
 It appears that the Turnpike Authority was established by the State Legislature for 
 the purpose of providing toll road facilities for travel within the State; that such 
 Authority presently provides such facilities; that the Authority has issued bonds 
 which are not pledges of the State; that the Authority is a body politic exempt from 
 execution, the membership of which is appointed by the Governor of the State; that 
 the Authority has the right of eminent domain and is exempt from taxes; that surplus 
 revenues are to go into a trust fund to provide for the retirement of the bonded in¬ 
 debtedness; that the Authority will dissolve on the retirement of the bonds, the toll 
 roads then reverting to the State; that the enabling act provides the Authority is to 
 be regarded as performing a governmental function in carrying out its purposes. 
 
 Other available information indicates that a court decision has declared the Author¬ 
 ity to be a body politic or quasi-municipal corporation; that the Supreme Court of 
 the State has decided the Authority is neither a department of the State nor a public 
 utility; that the Attorney-General has ruled, for the purposes of reimbursement to 
 the State for engineering and police services rendered to the Authority and with re¬ 
 spect to the State Employee Retirement System, that the Authority is not a State 
 agency; but that the Attorney-General has otherwise refused to rule upon whether the 
 Authority is a State agency. 
 
 This office in preparing Amendment 2 to GOR 14 gave consideration to a specific 
 exemption from price stabilization for toll roads and toll bridges, similar to that 
 provided under OPA by Rev. SR 11, Sec. 1449.46(b)(110). This exemption was not included 
 in Amendment 2 because of the provision for governmental agency exemption. It was ex¬ 
 pected the broader exemption would include the lesser exemption for toll roads and 
 bridges operated by governmental agencies. 
 
 The services rendered by the Authority fall within the scope of section 3(a)(89) 
 of GOR 14. The Authority was created by the State Legislature to perform certain 
 governmental functions; its members are appointed by the chief executive officer of 
 the State; it has certain governmental powers and immunities; and its life and 
 responsibility are coextensive with the discharge of its functions. The court de¬ 
 cisions cited and the ruling of the chief legal officer of the State, while indicating 
 that the Authority is not a conventional executive agency of the State government, do 
 not determine the agency status of the Authority. Keifer & Keifer v. R.F.C . 306 U.S. 
 
 381 (1939). It may be agreed that the autonomous operation of certain fiscal and ad- 
 
85 Serv 61:203a. 30 
 
 ministrative functions does not ipso facto cut the umbilical cord which binds an in¬ 
 dependent governmental corporation or agency to the government. The Federal government 
 has long operated not only through its established departments, but by independent 
 agencies and government corporations. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation appears, 
 in fact, to be operating more independently than the Authority, and yet court de¬ 
 cisions have considered it to be an agency of the Federal government. More persuasive, 
 perhaps, is the fact that it was the intent in drafting this exemption that an agency 
 of this nature should be permitted to qualify therefor. Accordingly, the Maine Turnpike 
 Authority is entitled to be considered an agency of the State within the meaning of 
 Sec. 3(a)(89) of GOR 14. as amended.

 GOR 14— Excepted Services 
 
 INT. 2—NECESSARY OPERATIONS IN CONNEC¬ 
 TION WITH DRILLING OF OIL AND GAS 
 
 WELLS (SECTION 3 (a) 08) ) 
 
 There has been some confusion as to 
 the scope of GOR 14, section 3 (a) (18). 
 Various interpretations have been placed 
 on what constitutes the necessary oper¬ 
 ations in connection with the drilling of 
 oil and gas wells. The interpretations 
 placed on this section have varied be¬ 
 cause of the different operations consid¬ 
 ered necessary in different areas of the 
 country. This Office has consulted with 
 a number of industry representatives and 
 endeavored to ascertain what industry 
 generally regards as necessary opera¬ 
 tions in connection with the drilling of 
 oil and gas wells. All charges for the 
 necessary operations in connection with 
 the drilling of oil and gas wells, whether 
 performed by the operator or the sub¬ 
 contractor for him, are excepted from 
 price controls. 
 
 It is the interpretation of this Office 
 that the following listed examples of op¬ 
 erations shall constitute necessary oper¬ 
 ations in connection with the drilling of 
 oil and gas wells. This interpretation 
 does not limit the necessary operations 
 to this list only. 
 
 Section 3 (a) (18) of GOR 14 is inter¬ 
 preted to mean that in addition to elec¬ 
 trical logging services, preparation of 
 locations, shot hole and diamond core 
 drilling, fishing jobs, pulling, salvaging. 
 
 and plugging operations, the following 
 are examples of services which shall be 
 considered excepted from price control 
 whether performed by the operator or a 
 subcontractor for him: 
 
 Surveying lease and making location. 
 
 Moving in derrick materials by trucking 
 contractor. 
 
 Erection of derrick by rig building con¬ 
 tractor. 
 
 Moving in small machines, usually cable 
 tools to drill water well, providing water line 
 is not laid to nearby water course or pond 
 by a water well contractor. 
 
 Moving in drilling rig, equipment, or sup¬ 
 plies to and from location. 
 
 Fuel for the operation of the rig and other 
 equipment at the well location. 
 
 Moving in conductor and surface pipe by 
 miscellaneous contractors. 
 
 Furnishing of cement and performing 
 cementing services for conductor and/or 
 surface casing. 
 
 Engineering services for the purpose of de¬ 
 veloping deviation from vertical in the drill¬ 
 ing of hole. 
 
 Testing operations rendered by contractor 
 involving the furnishing of instruments and 
 necessary tools for performing a drlllstem 
 test. 
 
 Perforating gun. Jet, or knife and equip¬ 
 ment for the purpose of perforating pipe into 
 producing formation. 
 
 Furnishing equipment, men and materials 
 to transport acid to well and pump into well 
 bore, usually under pressure, to Increase or 
 Induce production, remove mud or precipi¬ 
 tates from face of formation. 
 
 Water Operation. In this type operation, 
 following the surveying and staking of loca¬ 
 tion, it Is customary in marsh land drilling 
 to have a contractor dig a canal from a main 
 water course to location preparatory to mov¬ 
 ing in barge on which is mounted a drilling 
 rig. In moving rotary rig to location, it is 
 necessary to employ contractor for towing 
 barge. In water operations, an operator usu¬ 
 ally contracts with owner of boats for use by 
 drilling contractor to move materials and 
 crews to and from location. After barge is 
 
 floated over location, sea cocks are opened 
 and the barge settles to bottom: at which 
 time drilling operations are ready to com¬ 
 mence. Subsequeht operations are more or 
 less similar to Land Operations in all of the 
 various services needed. 
 
 Preparing location, including operations 
 such as grading; excavating; constructing 
 roads, canals, piers and platforms; and erect¬ 
 ing shelters. 
 
 Installing equipment. Including any means 
 of transporting, assembling, erecting, and 
 testing. 
 
 Making, conditioning and completing 
 hole, including drilling and control thereof, 
 coring, reaming, straightening or deflecting, 
 repairing defects, together with all surveying, 
 fishing, casing, cementing, perforating, and 
 treating operations that may be required. 
 
 Plugging and grouting, including the set¬ 
 ting of bottom hole or bridge plugs and 
 injecting cement, plastic or other material 
 into the formation selectively or otherwise. 
 
 Completing for utilization, including 
 installation of tubing, packers, valves and 
 other service connections above or below the 
 surface such as flow lines, oil and gas sep¬ 
 arators, treating equipment and tanks; and 
 also all testing and repairing. 
 
 Repairing or redrilling, including deepen¬ 
 ing, plugging back, squeezing, side tracking, 
 cleaning out, reaming, treating (shooting, 
 acidizing, hydrafracing, etc.), pulling and 
 running casing and tubing, and testing. 
 
 Core drillings; strata testing; well logging; 
 well shooting; cementing; pressure fractur¬ 
 ing; sand acidizing; repressuring or flooding. 
 
 Shooting. 
 
 Rig removal. 
 
 Pulling casing and tubing on abandon¬ 
 ment. Dry holes—casings are pulled and 
 well plugged; Old abandoned wells—casings 
 and tubings are pulled and well is plugged.

 CONCESSIONAIRE AT STATE FAIR 
 
 Admission charges not exempt though proceeds inure to State fund 
 
 An opinion is requested as to whether the admission charges to the various events 
 to be presented at a State Fair are exempt from price regulation. 
 
 It appears that the proceeds derived from the events presented at the Fair, would 
 inure to the State Fair for maintenance and improvement of the Fair grounds which 
 are under the direct auspices and control of the State Department of Agriculture. 
 
 Section 3 (a)(89) of General Overriding Regulation 14 exempts from price 
 regulation the rates, fees and charges for any services supplied directly by the 
 State or an agency of any state. However, the exemption does not extend to con¬ 
 cessionaires or other persons supplying such services in a private capacity for 
 the State or agency of the state. Therefore, the only admission charges which are 
 exempt from price regulation are the admission charges to those events which are 
 directly operated by a state agency. The admission charges for those events which 
 are under the control of a concessionaire or private person remain subject to the 
 provisions of CPR 34, it being immaterial that proceeds therefrom eventuate into 
 the State's maintenance and improvement of the Fair grounds, which is State property.

 INSPECTION AND TESTING SERVICES 
 Term "non-retail" explained 
 
 Section 3(a)(ll0) of General Overriding Regulation 14 exempts non-retail inspection 
 and testing services supplied by non-profit organizations. This exemption applies to 
 all such organizations supplying services usually supplied at other than the retail 
 level and generally considered by the trade as being non-retail in nature. 
 
 The word "non-retail" as used in this subsection describes the type of service 
 covered. The exemption, therefore, applies to all levels of distribution.

 Dance studios are within the exemptions of General Overriding Regulation 14, section

 emption applies equally to individual and class instruction and does not exclude an 
 institution operated purely for profit.

 RADAR AND OTHER ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT ON SHIPS 
 Installation, maintenance, and repair - not exempt 
 
 OPS has been asked whether the installation, maintenance and repair of radar and 
 underwater sounding gear used on vessels of various types and sizes are exempt under 
 GOR 14, Sec. 3(a)(113) or under GOR 9, Sec. 2(b)(5). 
 
 GOR 14, Sec. 3(a)(113) exempts charges made for "repair and conversion services 
 to any boat, ship, barge, canal boat, lighter or tug." GOR 9 contains similar 
 language to exempt repair and conversion services upon vessels more than 65 feet 
 in length. 
 
 The installation, maintenance, and repair of radar and underwater sounding gear 
 is not exempt under these sections. The words "repair and conversion services" do 
 not contemplate the installation, maintenance and repair of radar and underwater 
 sounding gear. The installation, repair, and maintenance of radar and underwater 
 sounding gear is not the repair or conversion of a vessel within the meaning of 
 these sections. The exemption was intended to cover the services normally per¬ 
 formed by a shipyard and not specialized services such as those performed on 
 electronic equipment.

 MARINE INSTRUMENTS, SPARE PARTS 
 Repair of ships’ instruments 
 
 The question has been asked as to whether spare parts sold only for repair or con¬ 
 version of ships' instruments are exempt from price control under the provisions of 
 section 2(b)(5) of GOR 9. 
 
 This section provides that the "repair or conversion of any ship, barge, canal 
 boat, lighter or tug, more than 65 feet in length, whether propelled by sail or 
 motor power or towed by other craft" is exempt from price control. 
 
 GOR 14, section 3(a)(113) contains substantially similar language exempting the 
 services of any such repair or conversion.

 If the equipment which is serviced or repaired and the sale of spare parts neces¬ 
 sary thereto is a necessary adjunct to the normal operation or navigation of a ves¬ 
 sel and in uniquely designed for use aboard a vessel, such service or repair and 
 sale of spare parts are exempt from price control; provided, however, that this 
 exemption shall only apply to equipment which is affixed or attached to a vessel in 
 such a manner that it is normally repaired or serviced on shipboard.

 ROYALTIES 
 When exempt 
 
 Section 3(a)(85) of GOR 14 exempts royalties from price control, unless the royal¬ 
 ties are for a grant of a right under a patent which is incident to or an integral 
 part of any sale by the patent holder of any material subject to ceiling price re¬ 
 gulation. The "H" company inquires whether the royalties which it collects as agent 
 for the patent holder are subject to price control. It sells a resin which is used 
 in the making of a patented adhesive. The patent covers the making of the adhesive. 
 The patent holder is not related to the "H" company and has no interest in its sale 
 of the resin. The "H" company acts as agent for the patent holder, and collects the 
 royalties from its customers along with payments for the sale of its resin and turns 
 over the royalties to the patent holder. 
 
 Since the grant of rights under the patent holder's patent is not incident to or 
 an integral part of any sale by the patent holder, the royalties are exempt from 
 price control.

 CHARGES FOR SERVICES-SUPPLIED BY THE UNITED STATES 
 Aircraft rental exempt 
 
 The question is raised as to the applicability of ceiling price regulations to the 
 rentals charged by the Department of the Air Force in leasing aircraft to private 
 operators. 
 
 Subparagraph (89) of section 3(a) of General Overriding Regulation 14, effective 
 September 19, 1951, exempts from price control services supplied directly by the 
 United States, the States, Territories and possessions of the United States, and 
 their political subdivisions and municipalities, the District of Columbia, and any 
 agency of any of the foregoing, with the exception of services which are incidental 
 or related to or connected with the sale of any commodity, and certain other serv¬ 
 ices not pertinent. On July 21, 1952 this exemption was continued in a modified 
 form by section 2 of General Overriding Regulation 11, Revision 2, which exempted 
 services supplied directly by the United States, the States, Territories and 
 possessions of the United States, and their political subdivisions and municipalities, 
 the District of Columbia and any agency of the foregoing, and the former exceptions 
 were eliminated. 
 
 Rental of aircraft is a service which normally would be covered by Ceiling Price 
 Regulation 34. However, inasmuch as the aircraft rentals are not incidental or related 
 to or connected with the sale of a commodity, such rentals by the Air Force have 
 been exempt from ceiling price regulation since September 19, 1951, and are exempt 
 at the present time.

 GOR 14— Excepted and Suspended 
 Services 
 
 INT. 1—SUSPENSION OF CEILING PRICES ON 
 NONEXEMPT COMMODITIES FURNISHED 
 WITH BALING AND GINNING SERVICES 
 SECTION 4 (b> (1)) 
 
 The question has been raised whether 
 the wrapping and ties used in baling 
 cotton have been suspended from price 
 controls (1) when furnished with the 
 
 service of ginning cotton and (2) when 
 sold as such. 
 
 Section 4 (b) (1) of GOR 14, as 
 amended, suspends from price controls 
 the service of ginning, baling and wrap¬ 
 ping cotton. Where a commodity is fur¬ 
 nished as an integral part of a serviqe 
 and ceiling prices for the service are 
 suspended, the suspension includes the 
 commodity so furnished. Inasmuch as 
 the wrapping and ties furnished with the 
 service of ginning, baling and wrapping 
 are an integral part of such service, they 
 are suspended from price controls—not 
 as commodities but as parts of a service 
 sale—by section 4 (b) (1) of GOR 14, as 
 amended. 
 
 On the other hand, the sale of burlap 
 and cotton covers and metal ties used in 
 
 baling cotton are still subject to price 
 controls when such sale is a separate 
 transaction and is not an integral part of 
 the furnishing of the above services. 
 Section 3 (g) and (h) of GOR 4, Revi¬ 
 sion 1, as amended, does not suspend 
 burlap and cotton bale covers sold as 
 such from price controls since only 
 laminated covers are included in the 
 commodities suspended by those para¬ 
 graphs.
