...proven miracle worker on great dams, in his great shipbuilding yards. Yet the Army & Navy refused to see an ounce of sense in his new idea. For two weeks he had to fight the stubborn-nest opposition. Even after he won a go-ahead signal from Production Boss Donald Nelson (TIME, Aug. 17), the Army & Navy still scoffed...
This week, when Donald Nelson returned from a well-earned week off, one of the first things he saw on his desk was a new plan to reorganize the disorganized, ring around-the-rosy Washington steel muddle into one sense-making package. The plan had its genesis one evening two months ago when Elder Statesman Bernard M. Baruch dined with Don Nelson and his Steel Branch Chief Reese Taylor. Baruch, reminiscing about World War I, recalled that he had set up one steel section, under Steelman J. Leonard Replogle (now adviser to the Army & Navy Munitions Board). Replogle controlled steel...
...from WPB's inadequate Requirements Committee, to force Army, Navy, Lend-Lease and Civilian Supply to sit down and divide up the steel with no chiseling afterwards for special "emergencies." Most important: when the inevitable conflicts arise, they are to be appealed directly to a final court: Donald Nelson...

...Purp fails the Armed Forces are lying in wait to bury it with appropriate military honors. With the Navy's blessing, tough General Somervell, who finds Nelson's alleged raw-materials authority irksome anyway (TIME, Aug. 3), and tough Ferd Eberstadt of the Army & Navy Munitions Board, think they know a much simpler way to balance supply & demand. They would adopt a reasonable facsimile of Germany's plan-a warrant system whereby each war contract, when made, includes warrants to obtain specific quantities of materials at the specific times when they are needed. This is vertical allocation...
