Battle over steel for railroad cars floods Washington scene
In Washington a clash between War Production Board chief Donald Nelson and Transportation Czar Joe Eastman centers on freezing extra steel meant for railroad car construction. Eastman argues the steel already bought and cut should go to production, not sit idle as rails strain and car plants idle. Roosevelt leans pro labor and aims to influence Europe’s labor movement as war strategy. Wallaces allies rise in government, while War Secretary Stimson is praised for steady leadership and drafting clarity.
