Civilian Board Idea Faces Republican Opposition
Washington May 11. A proposed bill to strip the War Production Board of civilian supply authority faced GOP opposition as it moved from Senate to House. Rep Wolcott warned it would create another agency causing confusion and friction with armed services. The plan would appoint an administrator to determine civilian needs and rationing, replacing the WPB civilian requirements office. Republicans warned of jurisdictional conflicts as the measure advanced.
