Roosevelt Signs Reconversion Bills To Guide Peace Transition
President Roosevelt signed two acts to ease the wartime shift to peacetime. A surplus property administration would handle about 100 billion dollars in war goods, and a mobilization and reconversion agency would replace the wartime office led by James F. Byrnes. Byrnes will stay until a successor is named after Congress returns. The president warned the surplus bill may slow reconversion with complex disposal and restrictions.
