He learned all about it in his 15 months as deputy OPA administrator in charge of rent control, He weathered a congressional investigation, cultivated a hearty unpopularity among organized landlords—and doggedly held the line on rents. Property owners shouted robbery, but some 18 million 1amilies living in rented quarters will attest "10 his success.

The new OPA chief came to Washington in 1833 expecting to stay only a few months, Henry A.

Davis, who was organizing the food vrogram for the defense advisory committee, Leon Henderson drafted him to organize OPA rent control in March 1942, and he stayed as deputy administrator until June, 1943, when he became assistant director of the war food administration.
