![["This text outlines the establishment of the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion, headed by a Director appointed by the President. The office is responsible for coordinating the transition from war to peace, issuing orders and regulations to executive agencies, and recommending legislation to Congress. An advisory board is created to advise the Director on war mobilization and reconversion, and policies are put in place to ensure the efficient demobilization and reemployment of individuals after the war. The document also emphasizes the importance of integrating war production curtailments with non-war production to effectively transition to peace."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/%20CAC_CC_047_1_3_16_0000-Federal%20Works%20Agency,%201945/%20CAC_CC_047_1_3_16_0000-Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_16_0001_thumbnail.jpg "National Program for War Mobilization and Reconversion Act")

![["The Apartment House Industry of San Francisco is protesting against the OPA rent control system and is requesting fair rent committees to be established to determine the fairness of rents. They believe that the current system is unjust and inefficient, and are proposing a new system where unpaid citizens serve on committees to determine rent fairness promptly and without cost to the government. They suggest that these committees should have the power to make decisions on rent fairness and evictions, and should be composed of various members of the community. They argue that this new system would provide prompt justice and better satisfy the American people."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_32_0000-Housing,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_32_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Proposal for Fair Rent Committees in San Francisco")
![["The document is a letter from Joseph A. McGowan, president of I.W. Peterson Corp., protesting the policy of sending insufficiently trained 18 and 19-year-old boys overseas in the Army and Marines. He believes that this policy is discriminatory and has led to significant losses in recent battles. McGowan argues that these young boys are not fit for battle and should not be sent overseas to face the crafty and tricky Japanese enemy. He specifically mentions the 40th Infantry Replacement Draft of the Marines waiting to embark to the Pacific and emphasizes the need for better training before sending young soldiers into combat."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_6_42_0000-Selective%20Service,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_42_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Protest Against Sending Undertrained Boys Overseas")

![["The document from Joe C. Scott, President of the State Board of Agriculture in Oklahoma City, to Congressman George Schwabe raises concerns about the reduction of sugar quotas for industrial users, particularly affecting the dairy industry in Oklahoma during peak milk production. Scott emphasizes the need for sufficient sugar for ice cream manufacturers to utilize surplus milk and prevent waste. Congressman Schwabe requests the Office of Price Administration to relax sugar restrictions, but the response from the OPA indicates that quotas have been increased in some counties due to population growth, but may not effectively address the situation. The OPA explains the need for sugar reductions due to shortages and encloses a statement on the issue."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_51_0000-Price%20Administration,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_51_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Sugar Quota Relief for Dairy Industry in Oklahoma")
