Henderson resigns as price administrator amid congressional criticism
Washington reports that Leon Henderson resigned as price administrator effective after successor appointment, amid health claims and ongoing discontent over OPA policies. President Roosevelt suggested Prentiss M Brown as likely successor, while Henderson offered to aid in transition and work on fuel oil and gasoline rationing stabilization. Brown’s rise would follow a long career in Michigan politics and recent opposition from farm groups to Henderson’s price ceilings.
