House Votes End to OPA Food Power
The House approved an amendment to transfer all food controls from the Office of Price Administration and Office of Economic Stabilization to the Department of Agriculture placing authority with the new secretary Clinton P. Anderson gearing up to take office July 1. The 145 to 142 vote split along party lines, with Republicans backing the transfer and Democrats wary of ceding food control. Anderson said he did not seek policing powers and would interpret the amendment as granting him full control of food prices.
