Tho Administration is determined, It Is said, that tho executive head of the munitions board Is to bavo real pow ers, even though It may bo' necessary to go to Congress nnd nsk for legisla tion creating a department of muni tions with a new Cabinet portfolio for tho period of tho war. Under present plans Mr. Wlllard would become the head of this depart ment with full power to net for the production of munitions, nnd tho Bu reau of Ordnance In tho War Depart ment would become tho agency for suppljlng tho munitions to tho troops In tho Held.
