STATEMENT OF FACTS COVER- { ING TRIANGLE CLEANER CONTROVERSY Mis. Helen Troy Monsen, Pub- lisher Daily Alaska Empire Juneau, Alaska. My dear Mrs, Monsen: Inasmuch as you published yesterday’s edition of The Empire a very garbled, misleading, and in- |accurate story in regard to the OPA and its dealing with the Triangle Cleaners, I take the liberty of sub- mitting for your information the enclosed statement of facts con- cerning this issue. I am sure that you pexsonally do not want to be a party to false statements made about the Office of Price Administration, such as were made in the purported inter- view with Mr. Darnell. I. therefore, request that you give full publica- tion to the real facts in this case, that you publish the same under a two-column heading on the front page of The Empire, and in all ways give the corrected story as much prominence as you have giv- en the original story. Very sincerely yours, MILDRED R. HERMANN Alaska Director Office of Price Administration. The General Maximum Price Re- gulation, issued last April, fixed the ceiling price for consumer serv- ices, which include laundry and dry cleaning services, at a price no higher than the highest March price for similar services of each individual establishment in the country, including Alaska. At the same time, it provided a remedy for those individuals or firms whose prices in March were too low to enable them to continue operations. That remedy was in the form of an application or petition for adjust- ment, in which the operator could set up his prices accordingly. Last August Mr. Rod Darnell, proprietor of the Triangle Cleaners, came to the OPA office in Juneau and stated that he could not con- tinue operating under March prices and intended to publish a notice in the paper stating that effective September 1 he would increase his prices. I advised him to file an ap- plication for adjustment. I offered the services of my office to him in helping prepare the application for adjustment. I even wired to Wash- ington myself recommending that he be given a temporary adjustment while his case was studied. Washington denied my request for a temporary adjustment because it had mo facts on which to base such an adjustment. I again urged Mr. Darnell to file an application for adjustment and supply the nec- essary data for Washington to act upon. I instructed him concern- ing the information they would have to have and again offered my services in helping him prepare the application for adjustment. ‘There is no doubt that if Mr. Darnell had filed his application and submitted the required data | ‘WOMEN 'OF THE CHAPELADIES MEET TONIGHT Meeting this evening at the home of Mrs. Bob Marks on the Loop Road, members of the Chap- eladies will hold their regular ses- sion. - All- members are urged to attend. COMMUNICATION in| at the time, his application for re- lief * would have been promptly | granted. He, however, preferred to| |take the law in his own hands and| |be his own judge and jury. He ac-‘ | cordingly, raised his prices on dry ;c]enning approximately 33 1/3 per- [cent, in defignce of OPA regula- }Lmns. foreing this additional burd- !en on the consumers of the commun- |ity. Complaints poured into the |OPA office immediately. | Nevertheless, in spite of increas- |ing pressire from customers, my ]omce continued to urge Mr. Darnell |to comply with the regulations and follow thé proper procedure for se« Irurlng an adjustment. He continued |to procrastinate. As a matter of faet, in spite of repeated urging on my part and on the part of other !members of my staff, it was more {than four months after he was first advised to, file his petition that {it was submitted to my office. in |proper form to be considered by | Washington. It was immediately |transmitted to Washington with the history of the case. The Alaska Office of Price Administration never at any time offered Mr. Darnell a |“compromise.” We simplk told him, /in compliance with - instructions from Washington, that until he had made restitution on his illegal charges to the public for the pre- ‘vious five months, OPA could not legally grant his application for adjustment. He retaliated by deliv- ering an “ultimatum” to the Office of Price Administration under a |threat of closing his doors if it were refused. I transmitted the ul- |timatum to Washington in a wire personally approved by Mr. and Mrs. Darnell. Washington declined |to consider the ultimatum. He |closed his doors and issued the |garbled and incorrect statement to {ning a full page advertisement in | which he admitted his violation of iOPA regulations. OPA has at all times been willing {to grant Mr. Darnell a price ad- ! justment. He simply declined to meet the conditions under which |such adjustment could be granted. |OPA is bound, however, to respect Ithe rights of his customers and his | competitors who declined to join /him in the unauthorized increase 'in prices and who secured relief under proper procedure, Mr. Dar- nell has not been forced out of bus- iness by the OPA. The OPA has not forced Mr. Darnell to discon- tinue his civilian business. (One |sentence deleted here.) In his statement to The Empire, Mr. Darnell has discussed at length a certain matter involving the pur- chase of a turkey by the Office of Price Administration. The real facts in this case are as follows: The OPA was conducting a com- pliance survey, a routine matter which is carried out regularly in every town and in every store in the Territory. Its inspector went shopping for a turkey. She visited every meat market in Juneau. She, found one violator, from whom ghe| purchased a turkey. When the need of retaining the turkey as evidence had passed, it was given to the Min- field Home for Orphan Children, located on Glacier Highway. OPA never at any time ‘“fed the turkey to its employees,” which Mr. Dar- nell ‘has stated as fact. The turkey which was given to the Minfield Home was paid for by the staff members of the OPA and not by the OPA as a Government agency.' Naturally a request for the pur- chase of a turkey would not have been honored by the Forestry Serv- ice, which acts as. the fiscal agent for the OPA, even if the OPA had ever thought of making such a re- quest. This statement was pure. in- vention on the part of Mr. Darnell. (Signed) MILDRED R.
