New OPA Chief

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-(P)
Given a free hand to make or

sumner support of program en-
visioning gradually rising prices,

that he was taking over OPA
with the primary objective OF
protecting the American con-
sumner. y
Isolating himself for a Today
look-see at the inner operations
of OPA, Brown went to work
on several pressing problems.
These included the imminent ne
cessity of going to Congress for
a S20,000,000 deficiency appro-
priation, the need for additional
transportation subsidy money
and the possibility of shakeup
in his agency's top personnel.
FORMAL MOVE
Brown, 53-year-old former
Senator from Michigan, took
over formally from Leon Hen
derson with the reputed under
standing that he would be given
a free hand by his immediate
boss, James F. Byrnes, the
Economic Sterilization director,
to work out the country's supply
and demand problems with the
consuming public, Congress and
the farmers.
His first contact with Con-
gress in his new role probably
will come when he petitions for
more money to operate the OPA
until the end of this fiscal year.
His 10 years of membership in
the House and Senate, which
ended in defeat for reelection
last November, was being count
ed upon by the administration
to smooth the way for this re-
quest-a request which leaders
feared might have been rejected
if hard-riding Henderson had re-
