![["Mrs. B.C. Wheeler wrote to Congressman George B. Schwabe about H.R. 2346, which seeks to give Merchant Marine boys the same rights as veterans under the G.I. Bill. Schwabe responds, saying the issue is controversial and he will consider the arguments before voting on it. Wheeler urges Schwabe to support the bill so that Merchant Marine boys can take advantage of the benefits it offers."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_047_1_5_85_0010.jpg "Supporting H.R. 2346: The Fight for Merchant Marine Rights")

![["The document discusses the effects of the OPA (Office of Price Administration) being removed and the increase in prices that resulted. The author argues that the inflation was caused in part by OPA regulations and approval. They also point out that rent controls, which were partially and unfairly administered, turned out to be a menace rather than a benefit. The author defends their vote against the OPA bill and highlights that many other members of Congress, including both United States Senators, also voted the same way."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_047_1_6_34_0014.jpg "The OPA Situation: A Response to Mr. Dwight M.
