| Description | World War II cartoon shows Office of Price Administration head Chester Bowles at his desk being berated by an irate woman (labeled "The American Housewife") holding a ration book with "Cancelled" stamps in one hand and a rolling pin in the other. In the background, President Roosevelt chuckles, "Chester, I've been in some tight spots but I don't envy you now." In the fall of 1944, the president appointed Chester Bowles as the new head of the OPA, the agency that controlled consumer rationing and consequently one of the most unpopular jobs in Washington. |
