Entire Budget Estimate For OWI Sought
President Truman urged Congress to restore the entire budget for the office of war information. He warned that OWI’s work is essential as the nation fights a war far from over and should not be abolished or majorly reorganized during the conflict. Senator McKellar said the Senate should restore at least part of the House cut, deeming $17 million reduction too drastic. OWI's appropriations were slashed to about $18 million from $35 million for the coming fiscal year.
