WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 <U.R> -
The OPA today removed price
controls from coffee because sup-
ply now equals demand.
^ It acted on a decontrol petition
filed 10 days .ago by the coffee in-
dustry advisory committee. This
marked the first time OPA has
decontrolled a product on petition
of an industry.
OPA's action followed by less
thqn 24 hours its removal of price
controls from maragine mayon-
naise and other products.
Despite action in other fields,
the'OPA held fast to rent con-
trols.
, Landlords hopes for higher rent
incomes got a jolt'when an OPA
spokesman said the agency was
planning on increase in rent ccil-v
ings.
He pointed to a report by OPA's
analysis (branch that despite higher ,
costs, landlords generally were
making "substantially" more mo-
ney than before the war.
Indeed, far from relaxing -rent
controls under President Truman's
new decontrol speedup policy, OPA
^anticipates that many new areas
mf;y yet be brought under ceil-
ings.
Meanwhile, OPA chief Paul Por-
ter said the agency would start
sending pink discharge slips to
many Employes in the food price
and enforcement branches begin-
ning No. 1—indicating hc expects
remaining foods under price ceil-
ings to be decontrolled soon.
In the first decontrol action un-
der thc president's speedup, OPA
removed price controls . from oleo-
margarine, shortening, mayonnaise,
salad dressing, cOoking and salad
oils.
The price decontrol board said
it will not put back price ceilings
on milk, butter, cheese, and other
dairy products although prices
have risen "unreasonably.''
