...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.

Neither management nor labor likes the Buffalo plan in principle. Both still writhe under its straitjacketing. But few will not admit that the plan has worked...
...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...
