to point out that public usage of

the extent of future development.

Wood went to the Department of
State as Special Assistant Secre-
tary to Will Clayton. In this post,
Wood was in charge of U. S. ac-
tivities relating to foreign relief
and rehabilitation programs. He
represented the United States at
UNRRA Council sessions and ac-
companied Director General La-
Guardia as U. S. Representative
on an extended tour of inspection
ot r.N'RRA countries in 1940.
Subsequently, he became Deputy
to the Assistant Secretary of State
for Economic Affairs, Willard
Thorp. In this position lie played
an important role in developing
the initial plans for the European
Recovery 1'iogram and in prepar-
ing these plans for presentation
to Congress. His extensive experi-
ence in this field was a major
reason for his being chosen as
Assistant to Howard Bruce when
the latter became Deputy Admin-
istrator for ECA shortly after the
appointment of Paul Hoffman as
Administrator. In 1949 Wood was
appointed to the newly created
position of Assistant Administra-
tor for Operations.
Throughout his ECA career,
Wood has had primary responsibi-

before Congress. In addition, he
has played a major part in formu-
