The member cites various issues with the program, including errors in issuing points, inequities in rationing, and the handling of meat supply. The member expresses a desire for fair treatment of the public and criticizes the OPA for causing food shortages. The document is accompanied by an article discussing Senator Elmer Thomas's intention to challenge the OPA's power and proposed amendments to change its price policy. Senator Thomas believes OPA has grown too large and needs to be \"taken down a peg.\" The article also mentions support for Thomas's campaign from various national organizations and opposition from OPA Chief Chester Bowles and Economic Stabilization Director William H.
