Walter Winchell

Walter Winchell was a US newspaper and radio columnist.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's, 1998, p.202. 
==British Security Co-ordination==
During the early years of World War Two, Winchell worked closely with British Security Coordination and his column was largely written by BSC agent Ernest Cuneo.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's, 1998, p.202.
Cuneo wrote of his relationship with Winchell:
::"... I controlled the world's largest newspaper and radio circulation, centering on Walter Winchell and his near 1,000 papers and the only near approach was Drew Pearson's Washington Merry-Go-Round."Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's, 1998, p.49.
==Jay Lovestone==
Jay Lovestone used Winchell as an outlet for material from his anti-communist network, although he was not always satisfied with Winchell's use of it. In 1946, Lovestone wrote to Ben Mandel:
::He complains that some of the stuff I gave him would make people believe Hitler was right about Stalin. The dope does not see that Hitler was right about Stalin in many ways.Quoted in Ted Morgan, A Covert Life: Jay Lovestone, Communist, Anti-Communist and Spymaster, Random House, 1999, p.146.
A Winchell radio broadcast on 23 February 1954, featured a Lovestone-inspired story attacking Assistant Secretary of Labour Spencer Miller, who had been denouncing Lovestone to the FBI.Ted Morgan, A Covert Life: Jay Lovestone, Communist, Anti-Communist and Spymaster, Random House, 1999, p.237.

War Industries Board

The War Industries Board (WIB) was a United States government agency established on July 28, 1917, during World War I, to coordinate the purchase of war supplies. The organization encouraged companies to use mass-production techniques to increase efficiency and urged them to eliminate waste by standardizing products. The board set production quotas and allocated raw materials. It also conducted psychological testing to help people find the right jobs.
The board was led initially by Frank A. Scott, who had previously been head of the General Munitions Board. He was replaced in November by Baltimore and Ohio Railroad president Daniel Willard. Finally in January 1918, the board was reorganized under the leadership of Bernard M. Baruch.
The WIB dealt with labor-management disputes resulting from increased demand for products during World War I. The government could not negotiate prices and could not handle worker strikes, so the War Industries Board regulated the two to decrease tensions by stopping strikes with wage increases to prevent a shortage of supplies going to the war in Europe.
Under the War Industries Board, industrial production in the U.S. increased 20 percent. The War Industries Board was decommissioned by an executive order on January 1, 1919.
With the war mobilization conducted under the supervision of the War Industries Board unprecedented fortunes fell upon war producers and certain holders of raw materials and patents. Hearings in 1934 by the Nye Committee led by U.S. Senator Gerald Nye were intended to hold war profiteers to account.
== Members of the War Industries Board ==

*Al M. Boolock
*Cheyenne T. Wade
*General Palmer E. Pierce
*Admiral Frank F. Fletcher
*Bernard M. Baruch
*Robert S. Brookings, head of the Cupples Co., a distribution firm
*Robert S. Lovett, President of Union Pacific Railroad

War and Peace Studies

War and Peace Studies was a project carried out by the Council on Foreign Relations between 1939 and 1945 before and during American involvement in World War II. It was intended to advise the U.S. Government on conduct in the war and the subsequent peace.
The project was divided into four major areas: economic and financial, security and armaments, territorial, and political. Over 100 men took part. Funding was provided by the Rockefeller Foundation, which provided almost $350,000 over the course of the project. A steering committee was created in December 1939 chaired by U.S diplomat Norman Davis with Foreign Affairs editor Hamilton Fish Armstrong as vice-chairman. Initial area heads were:
:
*Alvin Hansen and Jacob Viner led the economic and financial group
*Whitney Hart Shepardson, who led the political group
*Allen Dulles and Hanson W. Baldwin, who led the armaments group, and
*Isaiah Bowman, who led the territorial group.
A research secretary was appointed to each group:
*William Diebold, for the economic and financial group
*Walter R. Sharp, for the political group, and
*Grayson L. Kirk, for the armaments group
*William P. Maddox, for the territorial group
From March 1942, the project supplied research secretaries to the State Department's Advisory Committee on Postwar Foreign Policy, with each group's secretary serving the corresponding subcommittee at the State Department. Meetings were scheduled to allow secretaries to carry out Council work during the first half of each week with the remainder of the week spent at the Department of State.
