with the tendency, saving the present
Is no time for the establishment of com

Doctor Stewart advocated that the
money and energy which might be ex
pended In this direction should either
bo put Into better enro of orchards al

vVASHINOTON, Dec. 27.
Definite action by the President for
solution of the munitions problems
may bo expected within n. short tlmo,
probably Immediately nfter the holi
days Daniel W'lllard, former president of
the Baltimore and Ohio Ilnllrond, now
chairman of the War Industries Doard,
Is the man on whom tho Administra
tion Is centering.
Mr. Wlllard would bo given powers
nnd responsibilities of an executive
officer, and the War Industries Board
would not contlnuo Its present anom
alous position of exercising vast Gov
ernment functions without tho official
status oven of minor clerks In tho
service.
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. Tho chief of ordnanco
would ceaso to have nny connection
with the mnmifaetmo and would be
