Possibility Of Feuds
Three Major Divisions
To HondIe Operations;
Two Directors Named

Acting Chairman J. A. Krug
plans to "streamline" the War
Production Board and eliminate
the divided authority within the
agency that led to the recent
explosive controversy between
Chairman Donald M. Nelson and
the former executive vice chair
man, Charles E. Wilson.
Under the plan, WPB will have
only three major divisions-opera-
tions, staff md field. As first step,
Mr.. Krug designated two of his
aides, Arthur H. Bunker and H. G..
Batcheller, as chief of stan and
chief Of operations, respectively.
Appointment Of a head for field
operations has not been made.
Plans Consolidation.
In another move, expected soon,
1t was said Mr.. Krug plans I'd con-
solidate into one committee the
work of WPBs Production Execu-
tive Committee, the Production
Executive Committees staff and the
Requirements Committee. The first
two have been handling war pro-
duction and production cutback
problems, while the Requirements
Committee divides between the va
rious military and civilian claimants
the Nations supplies of such ma
terialS as steel and copper.
Mr.. Krug, it was explained. will
appoint no successor to Mr.. Wilson,
but will direct all operations of
WPB personally. In this way. he
hopes to eliminate any possibility OF
controversy coming from split re-
sponsibility at the top Of WPB,
which has plagued the agency since
its creation.
Before his heated resignation two
weeks ago, during which he blasted
delays of Mr.. Nelson in making
high policy decisions, Mr.. Wilson
headed both the production execu-
tive and requirements committees,
as well as nearly all operational
functions of WPB. Other high on
cials in the agency, as . result,
came to regard Mr.. Wilson as boss, u
and this led to the blowup with Mr.
Nelson.
Will Report to Krug.
Both Mr.. Bunker and Mr.. Batchel-
ler, as we'll as the head of the field
staff, will report directly to Mr..
Krug. The acting chairman also
will be the active head Of the
agency's top committees.
Mr.. Bunker has held the title
deputy executive vice chairman, q
position which Mr.. Krug eliminated
Mr. Batcheller returned to WPB this
week as operations vice chairman
This title also was eliminated.
BY "streamlining'' the agency and
by taking aggressive controls of all
of its functions himself, Mr.. Krug
hopes to bring permanent harmony
to WPB.
"The changes do not constitute a
reorganization" Mr.. Krug said in
announcing the new jobs of Mr.
Bunker and Mr.. Batcheller, "but
rather a reforming of our lines SO
that we can continue to be sure that
war production Is absolutely safe
and also be able to move ahead
rapidly with our already far-ad-
vanced conversion plans"
