The behind-the-scenes maneuv-
ering that resulted in the resigna-
ton Of Leon Henderson as price
administrator may well turn out
to be one Of the most important
political stories of the war effort.
Twenty-four hours before the
quick exchange of letters with
President Roosevelt that terminated
Mr.. Henderson's activities, the New
Deal warhorse had determined to
fight Congress and public opinion
to the bitter end. He had cleared
the decks for action.
He had tossed overheard his
corollary price administration job
as chief of WPB's Office of Civilian
Supply. He had held a series of
sessions with those labor leaders,
economists and other influential
friends who were willing to back his
fight. He had held a more-than-
hour long press conference, ex-
planning his views and vigorously
defending OPA orders that had
been so severely criticized.
Insiders say that he had then (and
could have still the support of the
President in any fight he wanted to
wage against Congress to save price
control.
What, then, changed the situation
