REQUESTS PUBLIC ASSIST AGAINST 'BLACK MARKETS’ Public opinion, if properly ir> formed, will enforce price restric tions and regulations of rationing, Joseph D. Scholtz, regional direc tor of Civilian Defense, predicted in Omaha today. The Office o fPrice Administra tion recently asked butcher shops, retail meat dealers and other re tail establishments not to raise prices above mid-March levels, Scholtz said. He also pointed out' that the office of Price Adminis tration has established regional enforcement offices in Omaha and other principal cities of the coun try to prosecute those who refuse to comply with price regulations and ration orders. But the task of reporting price gourging and unwarranted hikes in the prices of commodities must depend upon the American public, he warned. “We cannot have successful en forcement of price and rationing regulations unless citizens extend their full support,” he said “The government needs not only their personal compliance with regulat ions, but also their active assist ance in exposing violators. Public Cooperation will accomp lish the desired results. We want no ‘black markets’ in this Country... .markets where the rich can buy rationed articles at excess prices and those with less money cannot afford to buy. The easiest way to keep this form of bootlegging out of the war is to n‘p it now. A few attempts hiwn teen made to ste'-i it. Our job as loyal citizens is to make it So un popular and sc unprofitoble that no big scale oj>eTf Hons will be ven tured.” SPECIAL YOUNG PEOPLES’ DAY PROGRAM The Young People of St. John's AME.
