Dollar a Year Men Hit by Senate Group
A Senate War Production Board inquiry faulted Philip D. Reed of General Electric for delaying conversion of private industry to war needs after Pearl Harbor. The report blamed several dollar a year officials for “temporizing and delay” and urged stronger prohibitions on industry influence over decisions. It cited reform proposals and noted ongoing conversion delays across electrical, laundry, toy, metal furniture, and textile sectors.
