Byrnes Plans No Sports Curtailment In War Time

War Mobilizer James Byrnes plans no action to curtail major sports during the war. A letter from Byrnes’ office released by Industrial Metal Fabricators’ Howard M. Reineman says steel executives urged continued baseball, football, and boxing to aid war production. Lucius D. Clay, deputy wartime program chief, indicated no curtailment action and signaled Byrnes would consider data on sports’ wartime value. The NFL and major leagues moved ahead with summer plans as Clay’s stance suggested sports would continue for morale and productivity.
