Congress Compliments
The much-criticized home front government bureaus were given a friendly pat on the back and a virtual clean bill of health when the house appropriations committee approved appropriations of $2,939,441,504 for 18 civilian war agencies, including the Office of Price Administration and the Office of War Information.
In making public its highly complimentary report on the work of these agencies, the committee admitted that mistakes had been made and will be made, but denounced those who criticize "without knowledge of the tremendous burdens thrown on agency heads and of the great strides made in putting the United States on a war footing."
"The type of criticism that serves only to create public distrust in the agencies is not helpful to the war effort," the committee's report said.
