- Description:
- The document from Mrs. Ray E. Huling of the League of Women Voters urges Congressman George B. Schwabe to support the continuation of the O.P.A. without crippling amendments, despite acknowledging that the administration of the O.P.A. has been poor. The document criticizes the dictatorial and autocratic nature of government bureaus created during wartime, such as the O.P.A., and argues that they do not serve the best interests of the American people. Congressman Schwabe responds by expressing his disagreement with extending the authority of these bureaus, stating that they infringe upon American rights and liberties. He also mentions that most Members of Congress share his sentiment.
