		The OPA issued (Apr., 1942) a general maximum-price regulation that made prices charged in Mar., 1942, the ceiling prices for most commodities.
		These regulations were gradually modified and extended by OPA administrators : notably Leon Henderson (1941–42), Prentiss H. Brown (1943), and Chester B. Bowles (1943–46) : until almost 90% of the retail food prices were frozen.
		Prices continued to rise, however, and new drives to secure compliance resulted; ultimately the OPA succeeded in keeping consumer prices relatively stable during the remaining war years.

	Price and Supply on the Home Front
		The food price increases occurring at the present time constitute a burden which must be lightened by redoubled efforts to make possible wise buying, assist consumers to know and use the less expensive foods, and to promote special programs which put food of high nutritive value within reach of low income families.
		Price controls cannot be administered unless a price applies to a specific quality.
		In order to remedy this situation and prevent further increases, the Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply is assisting local communities to set up fair rent committees and to hold rents as close as possible to pre-defense levels for the duration of the emergency.

		While still applying this general price 'freeze' as of March, 1942, numerous specialized regulations relating to particular groups of commodities subsequently have made certain refinements and modifications of the general regulation.
		The Administrator claims that the rule is satisfied and therefore is controlling whenever there has been an actual delivery of articles in the month of March, 1942, such as occurred when respondent delivered the crushed rock to Seaboard at the 60-cent rate.
		Indeed, the fact that the Administrator found it necessary to make such amendments is some evidence that under the rules here in issue the price established under a previous contract is the maximum price if that was the highest price for goods actually delivered during March, 1942.
