![["A petition to Congress is calling for the abolition of the Office of Price Administration (OPA) due to its oppression of small businesses, veterans, and widows, violation of laws and the Constitution, destruction of small businesses, causing scarcity in necessities, fostering black markets, wasting public funds, and showing opposition to free enterprise. The petition also criticizes the OPA for furthering communist ideals, being un-American, tyrannical, and corrupt. Specific examples are provided to support these claims, including arbitrary regulations, unfair fines, and abusive behavior towards citizens. The petition argues that the OPA's false theory of central control is misguided and that most Americans are honest and patriotic, not in need of excessive government intervention."]](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_46_0000-Price%20Administration,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_46_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Petition to Abolish the Office of Price Administration: A Call for Sensible Controls and Freedom")
![["The document dated June 16, 1945 from George B. Schwabe, a member of the United States House of Representatives, to Mr. C.I. Weathers, Superintendent of Claremore City Schools in Oklahoma, discusses the lack of federal assistance programs for building projects like public schools due to the focus on war activities. However, Schwabe provides information on Title V of the War Mobilization and Reconversion Act of 1944, which allows municipalities to plan for post-war projects and receive advances from the federal government. Schwabe assures that there are legal provisions for repayment of these advances, and offers to cooperate with city authorities to facilitate post-war planning and projects. The document responds to Weathers' inquiry about federal aid for public school building programs."]](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_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Federal Aid for Public School Building Programs: A Letter from George B.
