The Democratically controlled [[UnAmerican Activities Committee]] gave Wallace a list of 35 Communists in the BEW.
By the fall of 1943 the squabbles between Roosevelt's bureau chiefs became so general as to amount to a scandal. The President issued a decree to them to refrain from airing their differences in public. During the next ten months, behind the scenes, there was a continual row between Vice President Wallace and [[Reconstruction Finance Corporation]] head Jesse Jones. On June 29, 1944, Wallace issued a public statement accusing Jones of "obstructing the war effort." Roosevelt issued a directive ending the BEW but creating a wholly new aqlphabet soup agency with a different set of letters. Bovingdon was fired.
The new agency, Office of Economic Warfare (OEM) was headed by Leo T. Crowley. Thereafter the country had to depend on the management of a business man to handle ana business problem -- getting strategically scarce materials for the war effort.
