Legislative Service and OPA
Frazar was elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives in 1936 and served one term until 1940. In addition to his leadership in the adoption of the Louisiana teacher retirement law, Frazar worked for the establishment of the T. H. Harris scholarship foundation, named for his friend, the Louisiana superintendent of education from 1908-1940.
During the time that he completed his graduate studies at Columbia, he was also employed in Washington, D.C., by the new Office of Price Administration, one of the World War II federal agencies. Future U.S. Vice President Richard M. Nixon of California also worked for the OPA at the time that Frazar was an agency officer. In 1942, Frazar assumed the position of Louisiana director of the OPA.

Famous quotes containing the words legislative and/or service:
“The legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, ... thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Night City was like a deranged experiment in Social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button. Stop hustling and you sank without a trace, but move a little too swiftly and you’d break the fragile surface tension of the black market; either way, you were gone ... though heart or lungs or kidneys might survive in the service of some stranger with New Yen for the clinic tanks.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
