Maintenance of present tre mendous farm and industrial pro- iuction is the key to the postwar "conversion program outlined by OPA Administrator Chester E. Bowles in a memorandum issued last week. • Bowles, in the memorandum to OPA Advisory Committees, advo cates a price control program ex tending into the immediate post war period that will seek to bal ance inflationary pressures caused by the release of huge wartime savings and the resultant desire to buy, and, at the same time, de flationary pressures expected to result in part from the Govern ment's cut-back of wartime spend- ng. To bo effective, Bov/les said the prices must be set at a level high enough to encourage continued in dustrial production and yet low enough for farmers, in particular, to buy necessary farm machinery and raw- products so that present all-time record farm production can continue. Pointing out that an attempt to return to 1940 lev els of production might mean a period of inflation then collapse such as the nation experienced af ter the last war, Bowles said sus tained hig'h purchasing power of farmers will furnish dhe of the largest and most profitable mar kets for industrial products. At the same time, maintenance of present high wage rates and in dustrial employment w'ill provide a continued market for farm prod ucts. The proposed program by the OPA Administration calls for e- limination of price controls as quickly as production can supply a demand intensified by nearly three years of war scarcity.

U-. t ... J Fresh cranberries for home con sumption have been brought un der the price control at all levels from the country shipper through the retail seller. Under the new ceiling prices the highest retail price for cranberries is expected to be about 41 cents per pound. The season average return to growers will be about $24.23 per 100-pound barrel. The Office of Price Administra tion has lifted all price control from grapes sold in the fresh mar ket for home consumption. Action revoking price ceiling> and suspending retail mark-ups on fresh table grapes was taken under direction of the Economic Stabilization Director to remove any inequities to grow 3 anc shippers.
