The Maryland Merry-Go-Round
A Maryland wartime column by Drew Pearson reports heat in the Martin bomber plant from camouflage with windows covered, prostrating workers, and conflicting War Department permissions. It also notes Navy postwar project talks, a Maryland oyster dispute parody, Maryland lumber shortages and WPB controls, with commentary on politicians and agencies in Washington.
