EVERY MAN IN HIS
OWN PIGEON-HOLE

The new OPM diagram isn't, un-
fortunately, map of where every
body's office is. You'll still have
to ask at the information desk OF
get wrong number or two in case
you're looking for anyone in par
ticular. But it does show, down
at the bottom. that the industrial
world has been divided off into
five main sub-divisions from 4 to
E, and % sub-sub-diVisions from
aluminium to zinc, and miscellan-
eous minerals thrown in as the 23rd
pigeon-hole. So, if your troubles
with defense production can be
classified in any of these five main
SUBJ divisions, or any of the % sub
subdivisions, you will find that
there's a man in charge Of each
one.
BY and large, the new OPM or
ganization table is made up of
pretty much the same gents you've
been hearing about all year. In
case you have had any doubt about
it, the President is still No. head
man. in little box all by himself
at the top Of the chart.
Next to the President. however,
is new outfit, the CPM council.
This is made up of Secretary of
War Stimson, Secretary of Navy
Knox, Director Kundsen and AS
sociate Director Hillman. This is a
little simpler than the cid defense
council setup, and it is a little
closer TO what. Bernard Baruch has
been contending ever since the
last war, that there should be a
War Industries Board directing the
whole defense effort.

WASHINGTON, July % up
Whenever a new government agen-
cy is set up in Washington or
when an old agency is reorganized.
one of the first steps is to prepare
a Diagram of Organization.
The form of these blueprints is
now fairly well known to office
managers and efficiency experts.
There is a little box up at the top
for the head man. Then under that
is a bigger box for the board of di-
rectors. Then horizontal and yerti-
cal lines. and sometimes diagonal
lines. run out like the branches of
a family tree to connect up with
other little boxes wherein are the
second vice presidents and other
stooges, each of whose boxes have
other little lines running out for
departments, functions, assistant
stooges and so on.
Some of the diagrams are fairly
simple, even in government. and
each little rectangle is supposed
to show at glance what everybody
does or is supposed to do Others
are SO complicated they look like
the wiring diagram for super
heterodyne radio set.
Office of Production Management,
the Knudsen- -Hillman defense me-
chanism known as OPM, having
been recently reorganized from a
horizontal to vertical basis, has
just put out one of these new maps,
and it is a dandy. This is what
the country has been waiting for.
This solves all the difficulties of

VOTE BY NIGHTFALL


The move came as the House en-
tered the second and final day of
general debate and prepared to
vote on the bill by nightfall. Lead
ers were confident it would be sent
to the Senate without substantial
change.
Members shunted the measure
aside yesterday when a heated dis
cussion was held over publication
by the Chicago Tribune and other
newspapers of purported excerpts
from a confidential report pre-
pared by the army and navy high
command calling for American
armed forces totaling 10,045,658
men, including an expeditionary
force of 100000, to be sent into
action against Germany July /,

tigation be made of the publica-
|tion and when other members
began clamoring for an inquiry.
Representatives Cannon CD of
Missouri, chairman of the appro-
|priations committee, and Taber of
New York, ranking Republican,
agreed to ask the war department
for an explanation.

Kitchener insisted that House
action on the new defense bill
should be suspended completely
until the committee called Gen.
George c. Marshall, army chief Of
staff, for questioning.

ments announced that official
investigations would be made to

fidential report was obtained.
