Said nettled Anthony Eden: "We should be wise to bring this discussion to an end. . . . The Government will consult...
First off, Salesman Bowles disarmed his listeners by freely confessing unpopular OPA's many past faults and mistakes: the maddening complexity of its forms and regulations, its failure to consult industry, its overcentralization in Washington, its internal flaws of personnel and organization, its lack of experienced businessmen.

"Of course," says Dr. Overholser. "psychiatrists can't go about asking every lonely Government girl how her complex is today." But Government employes have learned to consult psychiatrists before everything turns black. "A girl who can't find a satisfactory place to live or who can't find a date is now advised before...
