Abstract

This article focuses on the black market gangs. The most publicized campaign is against the organized black-market gangs, with a quick follow-up on the dealers who have been spotted at the sales. But a hard day-in-and-day-out job is being done by agents in every part of the U.S., picking up dealers who are cashing in on the easy money of the black market. These agents have been averaging arrests or suits against three violators every month. The practice of selling over ceilings is so widespread that the OPA doesn't have a chance to pick up all the violators. The technique is to spot the enforcement activities regularly over a wide area and hope that the publicity will scare other dealers into being good boys.
