ANSWER ALL MAIL

1t was as executive director of the
Supply Priorities and ALLEGATIONS
Board, however, that Donald Mel
sons ability was most clearly and
decisively shown. When he started
the job, requests for priorities were
bottlenecking on executive desks at
an alarming rate. They had been
trickling in at the rate Of 100 a
week at the years start, but by
September there was an 8OOO-a-
week flood.
Calling to Washington three hard
boiled 1nail-order experts from
Sears, Roeblick, Nelson swept the
mail from 300 desks in the priorities
section and had it analysed. Armed
with the experts advice, he returned
1T to the beWildered executives with
orders to answer all mail within 48
hours-or else.
Next he turned his attention to
his staff, applying to his govern
ment employees the test he had once
announced in business: "In big bust

A BIG BUSINESS MAN.
HE'S ALSO A NEW DEALER
Nelson has been proving just how
precious his time is ever since he's
been in Washington. He came here
equipped with unusual characteris-
tics. He was a big businessman who
had always been New Dealer For
that reason he got along with both
groups, often at loggerheads, in the
capital. He also brought a clear I'M
derstanding of Americas problems.
A man of vision, he saw long be-
fore most people, in government and
out, that America was in an about
war, that production must be tripled
and tripled again. that this could
not be done with business as
usual" so business as usual must
cease.
In addition. he brought to the
capital with him his own tremen-
dous patience. He never gets visibly
angry. When ternpers flare, he has
been known to leave the capital for

STRAND

"The Little Foxes" one of the
seasons most revealing human in
terest dramas, opened its engage
ment at Warmers Strand theater
yesterday with Bette Davis in the
starring role.
This fine motion picture, faith
fully transcribed to the screen
from the Broadway success OF Lii
liam Hellman, is the story of one
woman's ruthless ambition and the
effect 1t had on those around her.

a brief trip. Usually when he got
back, his opponents saw things his
way.
Thus armed with a clear picture
of the job TO be done, with patience
and with years of executive expert
ence as the biggest buyer in the ma
ftion, Nelson, from the first, worked
miracles in Washington. He brought
his chain store buying knowledge to
his treasury job before the OPM
was established, advising the quar-
termaster general; later to his DO
sition as director of purchasing for
the OPM.
Nelson showed the army how by
placing its orders in advance dur
ing slack periods at the mills

fall-huge savings could be affected.
When the army's rigid specifications
enabled spectators to corner the
market on an underwear fabric, Mel

specifications which made it possible
to save l-2 cents per garment and
left the spectators holding the
pants.
