Hermann, Alaska Director of OPA, names the following towns as those affected by this action: Valdez, Seward, Sitka, Skagway, Palmer, Cordova, -Peters- burg and Wrangell. The announcemeni emphasized that it is only the Board Office and not Board activity in these towns that is terminating under this plan Price and Rent panel activity will continue as usual, under the direct supervision of the District OPA Of- fice in the area where each board was located. This alternate plan \\'il] insure maintenance of board func- tions for the continued benefit to the community, yet will conform | with the national plan of consolida- lion of war emergency programs. “This is the beginning of the tap- ering-off process through which SOPA operations in general will be ‘tightened and consolidated, with an eye on that future date when, the ‘War emergency under which the Agency was created will have passed and OPA as a-whole can fade from the picture.
