 COLONEL B=RY: We will ihave to have a hearing on th'3se amendments
before the end of August. The Labo;: Advisory Board will iave some amend-
ments. Do you see any objections to oermitti.:g this order to go into
effect and remain in effect until the first *of S:-rtoreber, provided the
petitioner desires to present .nl e.menJ.i-ent to the code involved to. get i
a differential? !

 MR. ORE: In thrt connection, Colo.iel L,-Tich sai--.d to hold a hea.ring.
and act u)on the stay. She has not fo-ral ,,etiti-n for an exerrntion
before the Administrator now. She is o-e3r- tint vrndr a stay. The Atninii.
trator was of tlhe sLme mind tl-iat there -arem oenL a fe. p)eo)le involv-3d.
After the case has Lbeen settled on its merit or at any time, .any inte-res-
ted party has a rijht to file a c;tition for a:mend;.ent to the Code with sM
the Code Authority. Even t-ioudh the Code Auothorit; may deny it, they
are duty bound to turn it over to the Administration.

 COLONEL BERRY: If the differsntirl question is vital to this,
there would be no objection to .,:in a )etition to the Administration
that this stay not be termint.t t.uitil Se;terfber 1.

 MR. TAYLOR: Terminate the stay cnd. trsnt a S weeks teramporary
exemption. :

 IMR. BARR: If the stay is terminated as tne result of this hear-
ing and the exermtion gr-nted xuid3r the order of July 15, it should be
extended tn those similarly situatc;d.

 COLOiIEL BERRY: We do not lnov, yet the situation for each member
of the industry would have to file an individ.ur.l petition.

 MR. MITTENITHAL: The Vireini? Art Studios-is one of t.-e most
highly regarded firms in tie industry. Their business tactics .re of
the very highest, and anyt -in; th1Tt Iiss Rohr says 7,ith respect to this
case is exactly as she states. The -roblerm that iR "resented to the
industry because of the --osition t.en by the Virlin-i,. Art Studios is
one of grave moment to the i.id1-stry. As it h.s _eer. stated here, she
is competing with manufacturers i:n other )arts nf tjie country and in
New Yorlk and is able to maintain a .ood voli-ne of business and I under-
stand-the firm is one of the best rated fin.s in tne industry. The
Code Authority is v.ery much interested and concerned in the outcome of
this case. We have had petitions from firms as far south as Liami,
Florida, and there were no examrtions granted in any of the other cases
that have come before the Code Authority.

 MR. 3ABR: You mean the Code Authority h1s never recommended any.

 MR. MITT-1TTHAL: Yes. I thinly : some e:.:-*Lnbtion is du.e the Code
Authority as to why the Virinia Art Studios hes been operating under a
stay without any 1caovil.dge of the Cod- Authority. It was our "nderstand-
ing that failure to aer at the eri was at that time.
 ._t. n .DiA a at that time.
We received no notice, of it. 7,e received a. letter from the VirLinia Art
Studios they would use labels of the Code Authority provided the Code
