He told the House Yesterday he
had introduced legislation to that
effect and suggested that at least

production, transportation, economic
warfare and manpoWer officials be
represented IN the cabinet
The plan, Mr Rees said, would
put an end to "bungling, inef1-
cheney, duplication and req tape"
and would help insure victory.
The President would have final
decision The war cabinet would
carry out the decision after the pol

one ongagcd in the prceent war. he
added. except the United States, has
