Lawmakers debate wartime food czar and OPA powers
Many legislators backed Davis for a new post as food czar. Fulmer D. S.C. chairs the agriculture panel and says shifting food pricing and rationing away from the Office of Price Administration to the war food administrator would be nearly useless. A Senate version by Sen. Vandenberg mirrors the idea. Rep Walcott notes the plan hinges on trust in Chester Davis.

He says gains from increased supplies to the northeast could avert cuts, though broader reductions may occur if transport shortages persist.
