Schwabe, a member of Congress, expresses his disagreement with Representative Wright Patman's support of the Office of Price Administration (O.P.A.) and price control, believing it hinders small businesses. He questions Patman's advocacy for small business while supporting O.P.A. Schwabe also mentions concerns about the impact of O.P.A. on free enterprise and independent businesses. He ends the letter with well wishes. The document from Deckard Manufacturing Company to Patman requests relief from O.P.A. regulations on equipment pricing, citing concerns about the effectiveness of a blanket 10% increase and unfair advantages given to larger manufacturers. The company asks for further guidance on obtaining price relief.
