Miller And I won case after case after case in Washington* 

 I remember specifically I fought for the church people. 

 The Italians had to have wine to win the war, and cer- 

 tain people had to have church, and certain people lost 

 their church by fire or something else and they could 

 not get priorities to get the lumber from the War Pro- 

 duetion Board. I went to Washington and while there 

 made my case, in which I proved to them that unless 

 they had church they'd go back to Missouri or Okla- 

 homa and wouldn't build ships. And I won my case. I 

 got church after church for Vallejo and Richmond and 

 Martinez and all over this state built. They took the 

 steeples off, didn't have any extraneous stuff up 

 there, but we got a church for the people that had to 

 have church. This was a very peculiar thing too. 

 And I could go on for hours and relate how during the 

 war I won case after ease, the various psychological 

 ways of attacking the problem, and with common sense.
