Wartime notices cover medical aid for servicemen wives and babies, farm supply credits for cooperatives, recording restrictions for troops, labor placements, hospital nutrition, fuel oil and incu bator needs, coal and casualty tallies, rural road traffic, pro rated farm deliveries, poultry pricing rules, fertilizer supply, linoleum production, shipyard output, and a farmer’s quip about town chickens.
Americans blame a vague Washington Bureaucrat for wartime red tape while ignoring the broad civilian workforce supporting the military. About half of federal civilians work in war-related roles with most fielded outside Washington, including War Manpower and OPA. Postal workers and stenographers form large, vital segments of the effort.
The piece critiques Washington bureaucrats, noting the vast federal workforce and interdepartmental frictions. It cites deferment rates, exit reasons, and calls for a unified, capable civil service while defending the worth of civilian talent in the war effort. It quotes officials and references President Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson on government effectiveness.
