194289902Washington DC: Office of Price Administation 1942. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Single sheet printed on both sides. Good. The format is approximately 5 inches by 1.375 inches. Rare surviving item of War Rationing ephemera. This was originally attached to an application to obtain War Ration Book No. 3. The Office of Price Administration OPA was established within the Office for Emergency Management of the United States government by Executive Order 8875 on August 28 1941. The functions of the OPA were originally to control money price controls and rents after the outbreak of World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt inaugurated the Council of National Defense Advisory Commission on May 29 19404 to include Price Stabilization and Consumer Protection Divisions. Both divisions merged to become the Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply OPACS within the Office for Emergency Management by Executive Order 8734 on April 11 1941. Civil supply functions were transferred to the Office of Production Management. It became an independent agency under the Emergency Price Control Act January 30 1942. The OPA had the power to place ceilings on all prices except agricultural commodities and to ration scarce supplies of other items including tires automobiles shoes nylon sugar gasoline fuel oil coffee meats and processed foods. At the peak almost 90% of retail food prices were frozen. It could also authorize subsidies for production of some of those commodities. Rationing is the controlled distribution of scarce resources goods or services or an artificial restriction of demand. Rationing controls the size of the ration which is one person's allotted portion of the resources being distributed on a particular day or at a particular time.<br /> Rationing in the United States was introduced in stages during World War II with the last of the restrictions ending in June 1947. In the summer of 1941 rationing in the United Kingdom increased because of military needs and German attacks on shipping in the Battle of the Atlantic. The British government appealed to Americans to conserve food to help the UK. The Office of Price Administration OPA warned Americans of potential gasoline steel aluminum and electricity shortages. It believed that with factories converting to military production and consuming many critical supplies rationing would become necessary if the country entered the war. The OPA established a rationing system after the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December. The work of issuing ration books and exchanging used stamps for certificates was handled by some 5500 local ration boards of mostly volunteer workers selected by local officials. Many levels of rationing went into effect. Some items such as sugar were distributed evenly based on the number of people in a household. Other items like gasoline or fuel oil were rationed only to those who could justify a need. Restaurant owners and other merchants were accorded more availability but had to collect ration stamps to restock their supplies. In exchange for used ration stamps ration boards delivered certificates to restaurants and merchants to authorize procurement of more products. Each ration stamp had a generic drawing of an airplane gun tank aircraft carrier ear of wheat fruit etc. and a serial number. Some stamps also had alphabetic lettering. The kind and amount of rationed commodities were not specified on most of the stamps and were not defined until later when local newspapers published for example that beginning on a specified date one airplane stamp was required in addition to cash to buy one pair of shoes and one stamp number 30 from ration book four was required to buy five pounds of sugar. The commodity amounts changed from time to time depending on availability. Red stamps were used to ration meat and butter and blue stamps were used to ration processed foods. <br /> To enable making change for ration stamps the government issued "red point" tokens to be given in change for red stamps and "blue point" tokens in change for blue stamps. The red and blue tokens were about the size of dimes 0.63 in and were made of thin compressed wood fiber material because metals were in short supply. There was a black market in stamps. To prevent this the OPA ordered vendors not to accept stamps that they themselves did not tear out of books. Buyers however circumvented this by saying sometimes accurately as the books were not well-made that the stamps had "fallen out". In actuality they may have acquired stamps from other family members or friends or the black market. Most rationing restrictions ended in August 1945 except for sugar rationing which lasted until 1947 in some parts of the country. Office of Price Administation unknown

1970231521970. War on Drugs Press photographs of drug enforcement addiction treatment and anti-violence intervention in Houston New Orleans and El Paso 1970-1992 documenting how the War on Drugs functioned across policing rehabilitation public messaging and newspaper circulation. Several prints retain typed caption slips assignment sheets and Houston Chronicle stamps locating the group within newsroom and wire-service use rather than private snapshot production. The strongest images show not only arrests and seized evidence but the wider apparatus surrounding narcotics policy: the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's El Paso Intelligence Center U.S. Customs canine inspection work in Houston a New Orleans anti-drug and anti-violence rally at the Desire Housing Project and rehabilitation scenes tied to Bridge House and Charity Hospital detox with Black urban communities especially central to the visual language of late 1980s coverage.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 12 silver gelatin press photographs all 8 x 10 inches Houston El Paso and New Orleans 1970-1992. The group includes a February 16 1970 press image identified as "Dope Raid" showing officials examining a crate of seized drug paraphernalia; a 1971 "Drug raid" photograph; and a 1979 image of the control center of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's El Paso Intelligence Center with consoles screens desks and seated staff in a surveillance-heavy operations room. A likely 1975 evidence display isolates a syringe spoon folded packet and narcotics sample against a dark ground with an attached caption describing a "$5 package of cocaine" and a glassine of heroin; another early 1970s image bears a clipping caption about Drug Enforcement Administration agents seizing a tug and a large marijuana cache. Late period photographs shift toward street-level enforcement and public intervention: a 1990 Houston image captioned "Drug Traffic Houston" shows U.S. Customs using a dog named Magnum to search vehicles; a 1992 Houston Chronicle photo records Sgt. G.U. Rodriguez inspecting a Corvette after a chase connected to a drug dispute involving fake drugs and real guns; one image marked "Operation Crackdown" shows a Texas officer handcuffing a young Black man on the lawn outside an apartment building; another captioned "Crowd at service ctr. made into booking desk" shows a packed intake scene around tables and paperwork. The New Orleans photographs are especially strong: one print shows Dr. Keith C. Ferdinand speaking beneath a banner reading "Preventing Violence in the Black Community" at an anti-drug and violence rally at the Desire Housing Project in 1988; another shows a group discussion at Bridge House captioned on verso as "John speaking about crack addiction;" a third presents Ron identified on verso as "a crack addict seeking rehabilitation" seated in silhouette by a wired window at Charity Hospital detox with a wall poster reading "Charity is a Winner!"<br /> <br /> The group traces American drug policy imagery from early raid and evidence photographs in 1970s press usage through the institutional expansion of intelligence coordination neighborhood sweeps addiction treatment and anti-violence campaigns during the crack era.
