Little Business Frustrations in Defense Plans Target 1942 Elections
A confidential White House memo by Lowell Mellett criticizes OPM and war department handling of defense contracts, highlighting bias toward big firms and excluding small businesses from orders. The report urges rapid action before 1942 congressional elections and notes the limited impact of SPAB and Contract Distribution. In Washington only Thurman Arnold’s Small Business division, led by Guy Holcomb, stands as a defender of small firms. A separate note discusses Hitler pressuring Turkey as British forces bolster defenses, and a Commerce Department forecast projects 6 million defense jobs by fall 1942, up from 1.5 million.
