...chief of staff for U.S. home-front mobilization, the nearest thing to its boss. As chairman of the National Security Resources Board, his responsibility, though not his authority, stretches across the spectrum of the U.S. economy. But he has a staff of only 300 and, in bureaucracy's jargon, he only "coordinates" the work of seven Cabinet members, refereeing their arguments rather than dictating to them.

Science--fiction addicts have followed Hubbard's releases in "Astounding Science Fiction" down to the latest monograph in the October issue; astounding -sounding jargon or the absence from the 450-page book of ay experimental evidence cannot balk them. The appeal of the quick sure-cure is not surprising. Hubbard's claims are as disarming as an old-fashioned patent-medicine label...
