![["Mr. Thompson, a veteran and small business owner, wrote to Congressman Schwabe in Washington, D.C. suggesting a change in the policy of the War Assets Administration regarding veteran certification for purchasing government surplus property. He believes that veterans should only need to benefit 51% from the business, rather than have 51% invested. He and his brother, both veterans, are unable to purchase surplus equipment because they do not meet the current investment requirement. Mr. Thompson hopes for a more favorable policy for veterans in this matter."]](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_58_0000-Small%20Business,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_58_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Suggestion for Amending Policy on Veterans' Business Ownership")
![["The Sunbeam Sales Company in Tulsa, Oklahoma sent a letter to George B. Schwabe, M.C. regarding their difficulty in obtaining candies from manufacturers due to sugar rationing. The Office of Price Administration responded, explaining that regulations prevent the type of transaction suggested by the company. They expressed sympathy for the veterans involved but stated that there is little they can do under the circumstances. The OPA cited concerns about inequity and unfair advantages if the restrictions were lifted. Ultimately, they advised the veterans to sustain themselves through other means until they can successfully contact candy manufacturers."]](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_59_0000-Price%20Administration,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_59_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns Regarding Sugar Rationing and Monopoly Practices in Candy Industry")
![["The American Legion has adopted a housing program based on the findings and recommendations of a Special Housing Committee composed of World War II veterans. The program requires national legislative action, and some recommendations have already been implemented by executive order. The program aims to address the housing needs of veterans and will be presented to Congress in due course. The Legion is actively working to speed up housing for veterans and has plans for community action to implement the program."]](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_5_30_0000-Housing,%201945-1946/%20CAC_CC_047_1_5_30_0000-Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_30_0009_thumbnail.jpg "The American Legion Housing Program: Report and Recommendations")
![["The document is a response to a query about selling an automobile in Mexico. It states that US citizens are not permitted to export cars to Mexico, and only manufacturers can do so on a limited quota basis. The document also mentions the high prices American cars fetch in Mexico and the potential impact on the automobile market in the US. The initial letter was from George B. Schwabe, M.C. requesting information on selling an automobile in Mexico for Harold Pesha."]](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_3_0000-Commerce,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_3_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Exporting Cars to Mexico: Regulations and Restrictions")
