Reconversion Bill Signed With Reluctance by Roosevelt
President Roosevelt signed two measures to ease postwar shift from war production to peacetime activity. One creates a mobilization and reconversion agency. the other sets up a surplus property administration to dispose of wartime goods worth billions. Byrnes will stay as head of the new agency until a successor is named. he reportedly does not want the permanent post. The president called the reconversion bill inadequate and warned it may delay employment for the human side of postwar adjustment. A separate suit in Los Angeles sees a landlord suing OPA officials for rent overcharges, claiming errors and one overcharge were not valid.
