Wilson becomes defense mobilization chief in Truman era
Charles E. Wilson took office as director of defense mobilization and named General Lucius Gray and Bakker Sidney Weinberg as assistants. Wilson, ex General Electric president, spoke at the White House after taking the oath before Chief Justice Vinson. Weinberg and Gray will serve without compensation. The move comes as the government seeks price controls to curb inflation amid the defense buildup.
