LOWER PRICES
ON CLOTHING
SAID IMMINENT
Lower prices for clothing in
Alaska may be expected by
spring and summer as a result of
a joint OPA-WPB program now
under way in Washington, Mrs.
M. J. Walsh, Community Service
member of the Nome War Price
and Rationing Board advised
merchants and consumers today.
Pointing out that clothing prices,
which account for 13 per cent of
the cost of living for low and
middle income families, have in
creased 11 per cent in the last 18
months, Mrs. Walsh declared that
they represent the only important
section of retail prices which the
OPA has not yet successfully
stabilized.
‘‘In order to arrange their buy
ing properly merchants and con
sumers need to know not only
that this rollback is under way
but also that that the Alaska Of
fice of Price Administration is
completing a specialized markup
control for women’s and chil
dren’s apparel which will pass on
the benefit of the rollback to
Alaska’s consumers,” Mrs. Walsh
said.

HOUSING RELIEF
NOW IN SITE
FOR NOME AREA
Belief from the present hous
ing shortage in the Nome area
has just been made possible.
George W. Coplen, regional rep
resntative of the National Hous
ing Agency, announced recently
that this locality has been de
termined eligible for an unlimit*
ed number of residential con
version priorities. This action is
in accordance with the recent
announcement of the War Pro
duction Board and the National
Housing Agency that such prior
ities would be made available in
areas where NHA determines
that housing shortages are caus
ing extreme hardships.
Apartment houses and other
existing dwelling units may now
be remodeled or converted to
provide smaller housing units.
Applications for permission to
convert or remodel such struc
tures should be filed with the
Federal Housing Administration,
a constituent unit of NHA, in
Portland, Oregon. The applicant
will be permitted use of mate
rials in the War Housing Criti
cal List and the rents charged!
will be under OPA regulations.
•
Jf
Occupancy will not be limited to
war workers.
Need for providing additional
living units for general occu
pancy in congested areas has long
been recognized but little could
be done about it until materials
needed to construct housing for
war workers could be released.
