50 U.S.C.A. War, App. 1651. For Emergency War Agencies that were functioning at any particular time, consult the United States Government Manual of the approximate date. The executive order creating an agency is cited by number. For a Chronological List of Wartime Agencies (including government corporations) and some account of their creation down to the close of 1942, see chapter on War Powers and Their Administration by Dean Arthur T. Vanderbilt in 1942 Annual Survey of American Law (New York University School of Law, 1945), pp. 106-231. At the close of the war there were 29 agencies grouped under OEM, of which OCD, WMC, and OC were the first to fold up. At the same date there were 101 separate government corporations, engaged variously in production, transportation, power-generation, banking and lending, housing, insurance, merchandising, and other lines of business and enjoying the independence of autonomous republics, being subject to neither Congressional nor presidential scrutiny, nor to audit by the General Accounting Office.
