Henderson was five feet six, weighed 210 pounds, and was known for he throwing his body around, yelling and shouting orders, threatening to throw people out of windows and to exhibit himself before the populace as a sort of burly ideological comedian. It was Presidential Assistant [[Harry Hopkins]] who first led Henderson to a job in the TNEC. Then the SEC, NDAC, SPAB, OPM, WPB, OES, OPACS and, finally, OPA.
