The directive sent his suggestion jointly to the War Production Board and the Office of Price Administra- tion. He outlined two, principal ob- jectives to avoid further shortages: 1—low-priced civilian use products, and 2—adjustment of price struc- tures on such goods as would stimu- late production. The plan requires the joint action of the two agencies and ranges from the proposed orders to manufactur- ers for what is regarded as excessive recent’ profit margins and the pro- duction of essenfial civilian goods for sale at a cost authorized for price increases in excess of present legal maximums to maintain production four-leaf ones now—she discovered with the Armed Forces stationed one with six leaves. at Whitehorse. by producers who are now losing money. .
