OPA WILL NOT PLACE CONTROLS ON TELEVISION RECEIVERS
In the first of its actions affecting radio since revival of the agency last week, the Office of Price Administration has taken price controls off home television receivers. The OPA, in its order, pointed out that "household television receiving sets are being exempted from control because of the present limited demand due to the few sending stations and their limited range together with their high installation costs and the lack of base period prices for use in fixing ceiling prices. Moreover, products during a development period generally decline in price as demand increases and this same pattern is expected to be followed in the case of television sets. "
Other radio actions by the OPA included an announcement that "the order setting maximum prices for resale of Government surplus radio receiving and sending sets and other electronic and communication materials has been amended specifically to include all parts for such materials. " When the order was originally issued, the OPA said, it was intended that these parts be included. The action, the OPA stressed, was being taken to make clear that parts for surplus electronic and communication are priced under the method provided in the order setting ceiling prices for these materials.
