Washington, Aug. 25 U.R Lt. Cmdr. J. A. Krug, back just 48 hours from the Normandy battlefront, shed his navy uni form today and took command of the embattled War Produc tion Board with orders from President Roosevelt to "take it and run it" while Chairman Donald M. Nelson is gone on a White House mission to China. The 37-year-old Krug, who was a WPB vice chairman until he joined the navy several months ago, got his new ap pointment late yesterday when WPB executive vice-chairman Charles E. Wilson resigned and brought to a dramatic climax his long-smouldering feud with the WPB boss. Accepting Wilson's resigna tion with reluctance, Mr. Roose velt appointed Krug as acting WPB chairman In Nelson"s ab sence but there was consider able speculation as to whether Nelson would return as head of the agency. Krug told the United Press toat he was not advised during his talk with the Chief Executive whether his assign ment was temporary. "The President just told me to take it and run it," he said. Krug returned to Washington two days ago from the European war theater where he directed the restoration of utilities in I'Aily and France. Wilson, the former $175,000-a-year president of General Electric who was called into the WPB to break bottlenecks and ship building, followed his resignation with a bitter denun ciation of Nelson, leaving high and dry the congressmen and others who had been protesting up to the last minute that if anything reigned within the WPB it was harmony.
