Krug Takes WPB Helm as Nelson Absent on China Mission
Lt. Comdr. J. A. Krug, back from the Normandy front, is named acting chairman of the War Production Board by President Roosevelt while Donald M. Nelson is away on a White House mission to China. Krug says the assignment is temporary and follows Charles E. Wilson's resignation amid a bitter feud at WPB. Wilson accuses Nelson of delays and of tolerating a smear campaign, calling reconversion plans stalled by Nelson’s “Manana” attitude.
