...week, and he had zipped through it in the decisive style that is now recognized as typically Truman. In one terse, five-minute press conference (see PRESS), he made the week's biggest news. He made his first appointment to the Supreme Court. He made tough-minded Robert Patterson his Secretary of War, gave his kudos and the Distinguished Service Medal to retiring Old Soldier-Elder Statesman Henry L. Stimson. With one hurried stroke he had put the scattered war labor-relations bureaus under Labor Secretary Lewis B. Schwellenbach. With one brusque stroke he had cut Economic Stabilizer William...

But from the Pentagon across the Potomac, Under Secretary of War Robert Patterson said "no" - the Japs' failure to retaliate against Admiral Halsey's Third Fleet and the Superfortresses merely meant that they were hoarding "plenty" of planes against invasion.
