Settlements
Made With
Violators
According to an announcement
from the Office of Price Admin
istration, *hree settlements have
recently been made out of court
for treble damages arising from
violations of maximum price reg
ulations.
A cjieck for $648.33. .payable to
the Treasury Department, has
been received from L. C. McKay,
doing business as McKay Marine
Ways ' at Ketchikan, Alaska, and
is final action. Administrator’s
treble damage claims resulted
‘ from hi,s. increasing his base per
iod charge for services in viola
tion of the general maximum price
regulation.
Administrator’s treble damage
claims totaling $2,433.08, result
ing from overcharges were resent
ly paid by W. F. Schlothan, doing
business as Northern Machine
Works at Ketchikan, Alaska. An
other check for $408.30 has been
received from Harry Nicholas of
Cordova, Alaska, covering viola
tion of maximum price regulation
194 in the sale of liquor in An
chorage.
The Administrator’s treble
damage action lies only in cases
where sales of commodities or
services are made in the course
of trade or business. It is fur
ther pointed out by the OPA that
in case of overcharges on con
sumer purchases, a consumer may;
recover three times the amount
of the overcharge or $50, which
ever is greater, plus attorney’s
fees and court costs.
Regulations have been in effect
in Alaska a sufficient length of
time, the Alaska office declared,
for all persons and corporations
, to be fully acquainted with them
and to warrant rigid enforcement.
Because of the danger to our war
time economy brought about by
violations of the price regulations,
sanctions have been imposed by
the government mainly to protect
♦he public.
Three OPA Cases in Court
William Sinatikas, operator of
the Arctic Hotel, B. A. Klessin
ger, liquor dealer, and Frank
Link, property owner, were dc
fendants in three OPA cases
brought up in the District Court
in Fairbanks before Judge Harry
E. Pratt.
Judge Prgtt granted an injunc
tion against Mr. Sinatikas on the
OPA complaint that he had failed
to reduce his rates to those fixed
in November by the OPA Rent
Division, had failed to post the
OPA rates and had failed to keep

Mr' Lirtfcfalso appeared on a
warrant and arraignment He was
charged on three counts" narrieTv
illegal attempt to remove a ten
ant from a defense area hous ng
acnmmoda'ion, illegal refusal to
renew the lease of said tenant,
and unlawful reduction of essen
tial equipment in the house.
The affidavit in support of
nr>\ cnmolaint charged tha* Mr.
Link ordered the tenants to va
cate the property after their com
plaint regarding sewage facili'ies
had resulted in an OPA order re
ducing the legal rent. The affi
davit declared that Mr. Link
thereafter refused to accep' money
for the next month’s rent and la
ter removed the water pump
from the basement.
OPA Settlement
The payment of $5,000 into the
Federal Treasury by the Tongass
rading Company of Ketchikan,
marks another step in the en
forcement program of the Alaska
Office of Price Admin stration.
This is according 4o Walter Walsh,
enforcement attorney of the OP\,
who has returned to Juneau fol
lowing an official trip to the First
City. The payment was made to
cover violations of price regula
tions by the Ketchikan company
through the discontinuance of dis
counts previously given to insti
'utional users and should consti
tute a reminder to both merchants
; and consumers, that discounts
given during the base period
must be continued.
The set’lement by the Tongass
Trading Company was the third
, Ketchikan violation to be settled
in this manner within the last
few mon’hs. It was made, Mr.
; Walsh states, to avoid the filing
of an Administrator’s Treble
iDamage suit against the company.!

New Ruling
On Alaska
Pictures
HEADQUARTERS. ALASKAN
DEPARTMENT — The sale and
dispatch of certain types of scen
ic post cards and photographs
made on the Alaskan mainland
and Kodiak Island are permitted
under current Alaskan Depart
ment policy, it was announced
recen'ly by Lt. Gen. Simon Bol
ivar Buckner, Jr., Alaskan De
partment commander.
Under the modified policy, pic
tures of purely scenic views, street
scenes, mountains, water and sky
line, including aerial views of
Alaska cities and towns east of
longitude 162 degrees wesf, may
be sold and dispatched providing
they were made before the begin
ning of the war and also provid
ing that no military installations
or panoramas of extensive shore
lines leading into and showing
harbors and dock facilities are in
cluded.
The same policy applies to pic
tures of ships, such as the Denali
Alaska and Aleutian, which sailedh
in Alaskan waters prior to the
war.
The aerial pho'ography prohi
bition invoked at the star* of ho.-i
tilities continues. Aerial views
may be photographed only by
specif c authority of the Com
manding General, Alaskan De-'
partmen*, and only after applica
tion has been made to him for
such authority.
The current Alaskan Depart
ment policy on this mat'er is the
same as present regulations on
the west coast of the United
States.
“The original reasons for pro
hibi'ing pictures in this category
alter the outbreak of the war was
for security of the areas concern
ed and to prevent revelation of
the geographic location of troops,”
General Buckner said. "Inasmuch
as ‘roops stationed east of long
itude 102 degrees west may now
reveal their location in personal
and unofficial correspondence,
this restriction is removed."
