Winchester Board Chairman
Resiqns in Protest

WINCHESTER, Va, JULY % iR.-
Charles P. McVicar, in a protest
over what he referred to as "en-
forcement features of the OPA"
which have been saddled on us
without our consent has resigned
as chairman of the Winchester
Frederick County Ration Board.
In letter to Mayor Charles R.
Anderson yesterday Mr.. McVicar
gave his reasons for resigning his
position and Mayor Anderson re-
fused to accept the resignation and
urged Mr. McVicar to stay on.
Mr.. McVlcar criticized the "en-
forcement features of the OPA."
which he described as extremely
distasteful and so confusing in their
variable regulations that I cannot
follow this kind of leadership,
A second member Of the board
who asked that his name be with
held at this time also was reported
to have forwarded his resignation
to the Richmond OPA Office.
District OPA Director j. Fulmer
Bright said in Richmond that he was
"in sympathy" with Mr.. McVicar's
feelings In connection with the vaca-
tion permit travel plan, which, he
said. was causing deep concern and
trouble"
Mr.. McVicar had complained in
, his letter that sit just did not make
sense" for it to be "a crime to 60
several blocks to Mount Hebron
Cemetery, and permissible to go so
miles on fishing trip"
Gen. Bright praised the work of
Mr.. McVicar on the board and said
he would request him to remain in
his volunteer post. AZ
