- Description:
- The documents are from George B. Schwabe, a member of Congress, to Chester Bowles of the Office of Price Administration and Clinton P. Anderson, the Secretary of Agriculture. Schwabe is expressing concern over the abundance of meat available but the lack of ration points for consumers to buy it, leading to dissatisfaction among retailers and the public. He suggests removing beef rationing to allow consumers to buy meat and help producers sell their products without incurring losses. Schwabe also includes a telegram from A. W. Lohman, a cattle producer, detailing the difficulties faced in the market.
