fairly quickly but production will Jepend
largely upon availability of raw materials
and auxiliary parts such as motors and
the like. We believe OPA's policy should
be liberalized as coin machines do not
have any bearing on cost of living. Num-
ber of machines we anticipate manu-
facturing first year depends entirely upon
conditions as they develop and we hope
for the best."
Majority of other manufacturers agreed
with Rabkin that there are no anticipated
OP A complications. First actions of OP A
following the formal announcement of the
cessation of hostiHties in the Pacific re-
veal a liberal and tolerant attitude and
it is quite likely OP A will relinquish con-
trols in this field in the very near future,
and possibly before this appears in print.
Recapping the reports received it seems
quite probable that new machines will be
coming shortly after the first of the year
if raw materials and component parts are
forthcoming in the next three months; that
there will be a re-pricing structure when
new equipment appears and possibly with-
out OP A interference; and lastly, that the
quantity of machines to be produced dur-
ing 1946 will be dependent entirely on the
supply of materials.
