- Description:
- The document discusses a referendum conducted by Congressman George B. Schwabe regarding the continuation of the O.P.A. (Office of Price Administration). The results showed that a majority of people were against the extension of the O.P.A., with farmers and World War I veterans also voting against it. The document also mentions receiving many letters expressing opposition to the O.P.A. and emphasizes the importance of people expressing their views on controversial issues. Additionally, a letter from Mrs. Ben M. Dougherty urges Congressman Schwabe to use his influence to save and preserve O.P.A. control over prices in Tulsa.
