New Attack
Faces OPA

Washington. Nov. 13-UP-The
Office OF Price Administration,
plagued by congressional criticism
through two changes of top per
scnnel, was the target of renewed
legislative attacks today a little
more than a week after its new
chlec assumed full control.
OPA enforcement policies, which
have survived the changes in ad.
ministrative posts, were denounc-
ed as "indefensible and un.Ameri-
can" by Sen. Walter F. George, D.,
Ga, who announced he will intro
duce a bill next week to outlaw
such practices.
In the House, Rep. Daniel A.
Reed, R, N. Y, charged OPA has
sught to prevent farmers from
charging enough for milk to cover
production costs and demanded
that the ruthless. devastating
hand OF OPA be removed from
the throat of the farmers"
George exonerated Chester Bow
les, Connecticut advertising execu-
tive and new OPA chief. from re
sponsibility, but demanded that he
rid himself of legal advisers held
over from previous administrations
who have done everything in
their power 10 circumvent the will
of Congress"
He said his bill would prevent
OPA from filing suit for triple
damages for alleged price viola
tions in states other than that in
which the defendant lives. 1t "un-
uuestionablys now has power Ia
file suit "far across the country
from the defendants home,". he
said.
The legislation also may include
congressional ban on any OPA
penalty which has the effect oi
forcing any person out OF business.

Green, WLB,
Nearing Rift

growing rift between the War

Federation OF Labor threatened to-

The latest attack on the board
came from AFL President Will

that It has failed in the discharge
OF its duty"
