Johnson Plans Resignation as War Agencies Reorganize
Brig Gen Robert W Johnson seeks resignation amid war agency turmoil. He inherited a nearly bare organization and built it up, completing 14 regional boards. He secured private bank, trade group and Chamber support and launched a Research Advisory Service for small business data. Sub contracting rules were issued July 28 to maximize subcontracting. An accord with the Maritime Commission completes the law provisions, potentially paving the Small War Plants Corporation’s growth in coming months.
