Of munitions and then stay on un-
til the job of restoring American
industry to civilian production is
finished-that's the message Of ].
A. Krug to his top aides in the
War Production Board.
The new chief of the agency de-
livered his directive yesterday.
telling $50 key officials they should
continue to hammer away at
production programs behind SEIZED
ule and at the same time keep
constant vigil to eliminate war
time controls over industry as
soon as possible.
Given charge OF WPB a week
ago when dissension split the top
command wide apart as Chairman
Donald Nelson was leaving for Chi
ma, Krug assured the WPB vice
chairman, division heads and bu-
reau chiefs that he had no inten-
ton of making widespread staff
changes.
IT don't think this is the time
for any great shaking up or rear
ranging Of the organization" he
said.
Instead he appealed to the execu-
tives to stay on the job, saying
we have the men" who can fin
ish it,
Krug, who invited newsmen to
the session, said that as soon as
the war permits I'VE must loosen
the screws on manufacturers OF
civilian goods.
He said that WPB owed this to
American industry and labor, and
added:
You men who put the screws
on should be the ones to take
them off,
When that is done, the acting
chairman said, WPB can close up
shop, send its records to the ma
tional archives, land well all go
back to the jobs we had before
the war"
