When the program goes into : | operation, officials said, every house- | wife will find the exact price of virtually every item in her market- | ing list clearly posted in dollars and cents in her local grocery store. Under the program, it was learned, | there will be roughly three ‘main types of prices: 1. Prices fixed in Washington for} each of the 10 OPA price-zones. Chief items in this category will be! meat and soap. Be Prices for each locality through out the country fixed by OPA regional and district offices. apply mainly to canned f and other non-perishable commodities. 3. A system of fixed margin controls for retailers, under which retailers are given a table of markups from which' they have to figure out their own ceiling prices for certain types of food.

New Schedule Drawn Up

The most important item to come | under fixed dollar-and-cents prices in the near future will be meat. The new prices will affect pork, | beef and mutton. Hitherto, beef and pork prices had been “frozen”
