With the first chill winds of fall: > OPAdministrator Leon Henderson's statisticians pored over 43 years of Weather Bureau figures. They came up with an allegedly scientific map zoning 30 States according to climate for fuel-oil rationing...
...least puzzling to read your story on Henderson's speech to the war workers- TIME, Aug. 31. While you indicate correctly his stating that: "1942 farm incomes will top those of 1939 by nearly 75%.

They were even asked by WPB to contribute...
...make such decisions are not in the new wartime civilian agencies: Donald Nelson's WPB, Leon Henderson's OPA, Paul McNutt's WMC, William Davis' WLB, the Henry Wallace-Milo Perkins BEW. For each of these men has a single segment of the problem to work on, each has shadowy authority stemming only from the President, and as often as not they are in conflict with one another...
