...Pipe Down? Thus, for five hours, Senator Wheeler spoke to empty seats and took his heckling. Though his evidence was hearsay, he had made three points: 1) many a Government bureau is overstaffed, 2) many a war plant, particularly those with cost-plus contracts, has used occupational deferments to hoard unnecessary workers, 3) if U.S. manpower were used more efficiently, fewer fathers would be drafted.

Talking down or ignoring the objections, Mrs. Rosenberg ordered the plan into effect last June. The results: heavy industries are now getting the workers they need, are back on production schedules. Airplane plants, which are usually on a cost-plus basis and thus might as well hoard labor, since Uncle Sam pays the bill, learned to get along with fewer workers, and to utilize them better.

...plan. Under the new gold requirements, a dead-broke, gold-barren postwar nation, such as a reconstituted Austria or Czecho-Slovakia, would find it impossible to participate in the plan, unless the U.S. lends them the necessary gold, in effect underwrites the fund from its $22 billion hoard...
