He attracted scant attention when
he suggested that the Senate au-
thorize a committee to keep an
eye on the mushrooming war in
dustries and subsequently found
himself the committees chair
man.
But 10 months later - almost
on the eve of the of the japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor-he jolt
ed the nation with documented
report to the Senate charging
waste and worse in millions of
dollars of war contracts.
1t blasted the vaunted dollar-a-
year men who had gone to Wash

gram, charged that slip-shod con-
tracts were pouring the nations
wealth into the building of an
inferior air fleet, and depicted
wholesale wasting of money and
manpower in poorly organ
lied, frequently conflicting ma
tional defense preparations.
Watchdog Of Spending
Immediately the Truman COM
mittee became the accepted
watchdog of war spending. Its in
vestigators stuck pTying fingers
into war plants, ship yards, army
and navy contracts. The commit
tee's activities led indirectly to
the concentrating of war produc-
ton authority in one man, war
production chief Donald M. Mel
son.
Behind it - quietly delighted
with the commotion he had STIR

to the Senate early in the Frank

Truman was one of the silent
Senators" of his day Rarely did
he take the floor and, until the
Fstart of his war industries in

speeches outside his home state
Once he summed up his dis
