Return to civilian economy plan after war faces hurdles
Rob Nugent, adviser on credit policy to OPA chief Leon Henderson, helped draft a plan to ease the shift to a civilian economy after hostilities end. A spokesman said it is in an advanced stage but direct OPA responsibility is doubtful and legislation may be required. The scheme envisions purchase certificates giving postwar delivery priority, with installments handled by regular finance firms. After the war, buyers would gain delivery priority per the certificate date, possibly paying less upfront with the balance due on completion.
