ON THE COVER: Whether or not President Truman imposes price controls, rationing or wage controls, "freezes" strategic materials, cracks down on "profiteers" or otherwise tightens the U.S. belt in the next year or so depends to a large extent on the judgment and advice of the handsome man shown on Life's cover this week. W. Stuart Symington is officially chairman of the National Security Resources Board, which means that he is unofficially boss of the home front. For a description of what this job amounts to and what kind of man is setting out to do it, see the close-up by Robert Coughlan on pages 104-118.
