If grocers are willing to go on record where prices can be found from one, two, six or more raantiis back simply by running copies of tho local newspaper, then they have not marked up goods above the accepted ceiling, Burchard says. Some consumers because they feel that the-local store lias "upped" prices above those set by the OPA, but do not complain to an official of the OPA because they can't be certain. Buyers who patronize grocery store that has advertised consistently know what they are paying! 01 and can check current prices readily. If grocers in any locality are violating price ceilings, they must be who have fluctuating prices not marked anywhere and consequently are not too afraid of anyone catching up with them. Ceiling prices marked on the back of an envelope which can be changed overnight' or posted up in figures so small that the average customer could not read them without a microscope are not very effective as a means of guaranteeing fair "Consumers should take advantage of every opportunity to save money these days by from grocers who are willing to establish their fairness beyond-a shadow of doubt," the advertising man points out.

Price Administrator Henderson, denouncing gasoline bootlegging and expressing regret that he had "not bean tough enough" in enforcing rationing, said today that people are more indifferent to the need for conserving motor fuel than to anything' else. Enforcement problems had been aggravated by reluctance: to -accept gasoline and--: few persons would on violators of the regulations, Henderson told a Senate committee investigating oil shortages. "Some advise ydu to telL.the people what is needed and they-will do it. "So far as gasoline rationing is concerned, that just ain't so!" As a result of the "carelessness and indiffere.nce" plus bootlegging, he declared, "we will have.this winter people who observed the rationing laws -who will be inconvenienced." The retiring OPA chief said gasoline bootlegging reminded him of liquor bootlegging during prohibition.

His only regret "as an outbouivd administrator," Henderson said, was that he had "not been tough enough." "If I had it to do over which God be harder and tougher they out me clown," he said.
