PACKERS ARE IN FOR RUDE AWAKENING OPA Says Prices on Fish May Not Be Raised Over Ceiling WASHINGTON, Aug. 4— Price Administrator Leon Henderson de- that {ish_packers buy- and salmon at high prices in anticipation of a 15 percent increase in price ceilinzs for the processed fish are “in for a rude disappointment.” Depying that the OPA ever planned to boost the ceilings, Hen- derson-eaid-that the “practice prev- alent among processors to pay more for fresh fish than the ceil- ings on the processed product war- rant is dangerous,” and that a failure to cease such activities will result in only one result—heavy losses to bidders. The normal price on halibut runs around 10 to 11 cents a pound and the present price is double that, the OPA said. This increase occurred, officials of the OPA said, despite the fact that the total pack this year will be 50,000.000 pounds to which the United States and Canada are limited under an international agreement, ' “Despite the submarine menare and the possibility that less boats are available, just as much halibut is coming in as in prvious years” the OPA said, and added that salmon prices also are about double those of a normal year. The OPA said that the blame in the majority of cases rests on the ‘processor's. halibut SFEEIRS Ty PERCY PRINGLE TO TEACH SCHOOL ON ALASKA PENINSULA Percy Pringle, teacher with the Office of Indian Affairs, arrived from the South Saturday and is in Juneau awaiting plane transpor: tation to the Alaska Peninsula.
