| Description | Cartoon shows William S. Knudsen and Leon Henderson, both trying to drive an automobile labeled "Automobile Industry (Defense Model)." President Roosevelt, in the back seat, appears totally unconcerned at the automobile's erratic behavior. An alarmed Uncle Sam, also sitting in the back seat, says "The fellow behind says HE's running it." Knudsen, a General Motors official, and Henderson, a labor leader, were among those brought into the government in 1940 and 1941 to try to promote the national defense production effort. Roosevelt, who clearly feared losing control, refused to centralize defense production into one agency, arguing that under the Constitutiion, only the President could be in charge. |
