Confusion in Washington as Truman reshapes control bureaus
In a satirical look at postwar policy shifts, the piece tracks President Truman expanding and reorganizing agencies from the War Production Board era to the Economic Stabilization Agency. It highlights figures like Charles E. B. Wilson, W. Stuart Symington, Alan Valentine, Michael DiSalle, and Eric Johnson, noting internal power struggles and price control debates. The barbed narrative mocks rapid bureaucratic changes and infighting.
