War; Department Will BE
Influential Nelson Says

WASHINGTON, Sept. q up -
Donald M. Nelson, former chair
man of the War Production board,
charged Monday that the Army
tried throughout the war to "gain
control of our national economy
virtually succeeded il 1914 and
hereby hampered reconversion.
Nelson wrote. in his book "Arsen-
al of Democracy" to be published
Thursday, that the heaos of the
Army and Navy, plus War Mobi-
lization Director James F. Byrnes,
now secretary Of state, tried to GUST
him in 1913 and make Bernard
Baruch WPB chairman.
He warned that the War depart
ment henceforth will be lone of the
most important and influential
branches of our government, and
the question of military control will
confront us not only in war but III
peace"
1.-THE lesson taught by these re-
cent years of wal is clear: our
whole economic and social system
will be in peril if it is controlled by
the military men," Nelson assert
ed.
Production Crisis
The "production crisis pro-
claimed by the Army in the. wars
final stages was a false al which
failed to solve any munitions prob
lens, Nelson wrote, but did tend to
drive a wedge between soldiers
and civilians and to divert at
tention from the Army's own mis-
calculations"
Nelson described as "pitiable. the
things said and done by a few of
the men at the top of the Army sup
ply services'-then headed by Gen
eral Brehon Somervell - things
said and done in either an inexcus-
able lust fer power Or in outright
ignorance of-how industrial produc-
ton is accomplished and what it
is necessary for an economy to
produce
The book, Nelson's record of the
staggering production job which
was the backbone of the Allied wal
effort, is interviewer with a story
of conflict between WPB and the
Army-a conflict whose existence
Nelson usually denied during the
years it flourished behind scenes.
At the peak of one flareup in Feb
ruary, 1943, touched off by Nelson's
effort to schedule arms production
as well as to regulate materials,
Nelson revealed that he got wore

IN TWO STRIKES

Union Compliance

LONDON, Sept. 2. -(R)- More
than 5000 members of the power
full Transport and General Work
ers' union - an organization form
ed largely by Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bevin - left their jobs on
two industrial fronts Monday.
At Smithfield market and other
Londan meat distribution c%enters,
more than 5000 workers struck in
an effort to force 1876 workers to
join a union affiliated with the
British Trades Union congress.
At Liverpool, 200 members Of
the TGWU walked away from their
dock jobs in an unauthorized strike
aimed at eliminating what they
termed malpractices which they
declared existed in dock work.
Fight Starting
The dock workers leader, Flank
Campbell said: the fight has jus
begun. The men are prepared tt

Had Letter Ready
An assistant informed him that a
letter had been drawn for the late
President Ro~oseyelt's signature,
naming Baruch as WPB chairman
an appointing Ferdinand Eberstadt
as deputy. Eberstadt, a New York
investment banker and former di-
rector of the Army-Navy Munitions
board, had recently been brought
into WPB as a vice chairman and
espoused the Army viewpoint.
A meeting was set in Mr.. Roose-
velt's office at 2 PM. Nelson said
he was informed, at which Byrnes,
Secretary of War Stimson, Secre-
tary of the Navy Knox, Undersecre-
tary of War Patterson (now secre-
tary) and Undersecretary of the
Navy Forrestal (now secretary
would ask the President to sign the
letter.
Nelson verified the report
thr9sa Stimson, he said, then i'm
mediately fired Eberstadt and an
nounced the appointment of Char
les E. Wilson, president of General
Electric, as his executive vice
chairman with full charge over
WPB operations.
ga great commotion ensued, and,
as far as l know. the meeting that
was scheduled for the Presidents
office that afternoon did not take
place" Nelson wrote. The Army
submitted to WPB scheduling of
war production.
In the summer of 1914 the 'long
and bitter controversy with the
military over the control of Amer
ica's civilian economy X X x to a
large extent x X X was lost" Mel
son wrote. This upheval was touch
ed off by Nelson's efforts to pave
the way for reconversion, which
the Army felt would interfere with
the armament effort.
Army Takes Control
ITO a large extent, the Army
took control owe the economy, and
many of the reconversion difficult
ties which arose later, after Ger
many and Japan had finally been
knocked out, can be traced directly
to that fact" he said.
"0The Army was, quite openly, out
to protect war production by the
simple mean of creating pools Of
unemployment" wrote tie former
production chief, who held the view
that workers laid off by war cut
backs should be permitted to do
civilian work if no other war jobs
were available.
This was the issue which divided
WPB itself, resulting in the res
ignation of both Nelson and his sec
ond-in-command, Wilson, in a final
bloW-off which left WPB in the
hands of J. A. Krug, now secretary
Of the interior.
Nelson, former executive vice
president of Sears, Roebuck & Co.,

Independent Motion Picture pro
