McCullough regional OPA administrator, an nounced today. The region includes Missouri, Kansas. Nebraska, Arkan sas and southwestern states. "The highect price which beer dealers, as well as other retailers, can charge for their beverage is the highest price they charged in March, 1642, unless they have been allowed an adjustment by the OPA", Mr. McCullough said. "Our survey is aimed primarily at t clearing up any misunderstanding j which beer dealers may have con- j cei ning their obligations under the price control law," Mr. McCullough added. Under the regulations, beer deal ers were supposed to have on file in their places of business by July 1, a list of all the commodities which they handle with their ceiling prices. The GMPR further states that businesses must preserve all their records concerning their March prices, and they must con tinue to keep records which they have , always kept concerning their selling prices. Discounts and differentials which were customarily given in March must be continued. Mr. McCullough said. The general maximum price reg ulation covers brewers, wholesale distributors and retailers and covers all kinds of beer, whether served in the bottle or in the glass.
