Show 7. wartime economy. The mission was relatively simple - to maximize the production of goods needed to prosecute the war and to curtail the production of goods not considered essential for the war. But this was not so simple as it sounds, for we learned that the economy is infinitely complex and often beyond our ability to predict accurately. Absenteeism in an economy with full employment was a problem and so the War Production Board set about to determine what steel it had to allocate to civilian use to maximize war production. To its consternation it learned that the number one priority was steel for bobby pins because the new female entrants to the work force would take the day off to search the stores for bobby pins if these were not readily available. The second priority was steel for laundry equipment, for existing laundry capacity was often inadequate in towns like Ogden where the population was suddenly doubled. The American worker will only let his clothes get so dirty before he insists that they be washed. Since there were not enough goods to go around, we had to allocate between conflicting needs. I well remember a great discussion among learned admirals, generals, and highly-placed government administrators as to whether the feed stock for nylon should go to the production of parachutes or panties for WACS and WAVES. One general advanced the argument that if we had WACS or WAVES as part of the military establishment they should be entitled to panties. This was countered by an admiral recently returned from duty in London who stated that he had it on good authority that the British WRENS didn't wear any. But here at least the debate dealt with two military priorities. Where there was conflict between military and non-essential civilian use, the civilian use got short shrift.
