Dollar a Year Men Hit by Senate Group
Senate inquiry faults Philip D. Reed of General Electric for slow action as chief of the WPB Bureau of Industry, saying conversion to war production lagged until four months after Pearl Harbor. The report also criticizes other $1-a-year men for temporizing and delay, while noting some progress in industry conversion.

WPB urged broadening control of civilian output
A wartime committee urged expanding WPB scope to include industry as a whole and to involve labor representatives in decisions. It criticized slow curtailment orders and called for stronger administration to direct production cuts in durable goods and consumer items like refrigerators and radios.
Wartime Production Orders and Delays Reported
A Syracuse Herald Journal summary notes a March 31 ceasing of Ytgerator production with an appeals provision allowing continued output for hardship. It cites Thomas H. Evans dictating order provisions, Reed denying influence, and six week delays in metal furniture and laundry equipment conversions. The report highlights slow textile conversion due to cotton duck shortages.
