NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 The first thing Max Aitken, Baron Beaverbrook of Beaverbrook, did when he was named British Min- iSter of State without portfolio and put in charge of recognizing the Ministry of Information was some thing most Information officials had long neglected: He talked, man to man, with American members of the press.
 Newsmen talked too. They told him how many officials gave them the run-around, how their stories kept getting balled up in the red tape of British censorship. They got great deal of their chests.
 Beayerbrook listened, and the next day several of the most ve- hement newsmen walked around in daze because all day they had received telephone calls from hitherto unapproachable govern ment officials who kept inquiring Where have you been keeping yourself, old man?" and wouldn't they please drop around for tea that afternoon?
 BRINGS DIRECTNESS,
 SIMPLICITY TO TASKS
 Beaverbrook came to the rescue quickly because, as publisher of two great London newspapers, the Daily Express and Evening Standard, he had himself encountered the effect of censorship before becoming a member of the government. He came to teh rescue quickly, too, be- cause he likes to dispose of prob lems like that.
 For days the whole censorship and facility situation improved. Then Beaverbrook, winston Churchills trouble shooter, was suddenly elevated into the job of Minister of Supply So the man who had upped England's warplane pro- duction during his recent tenure as Minister of Aircraft Production lost interest. His newest assignment, working with Harry Hopkins and other officials in Washington to speed the tempo of supplies from the U. S., threatens to take every ounce of effort and time.
 Washington should find this Canadian-bo English -knighted, one-time utilities tycoon extremely interesting In all England there are few men who are as direct in action. Unlike most British bigwigs, for ex- ample, Beaverbrook keeps no regu. lar hours. There has never been one office which could be labeled as Beaverbrook's. During all those days when he was needing the aircraft factories into giving more Spitfires and Whitleys and Hampdens and Blenheims, he was apt to show up one morning in the office allotted him in the rambling Ministry, or Aircraft Production building in cen- tral London and the next in the drafting room of a Midlands air- craft factory.
 Beginning with that first morn ing, when he took over the reins of aircraft production, he brought directness and simplicity of opera ton into his face of the British war effort.
 He showed up at his new job with small army of carpenters and put them to work tearing out vast numbers of partitions which formed ofhces for more than fifty mbrella-carrying executives who had been doing their paper work since September, 1889, in chaste, unhurried little cubicles = each room complete with a clean desk,

Only shippers whose boats have
been passed by the committee will
be allowed to sail in the three
trial races next weekend OF the
new open handicap class, Dexter
M. Ferry Jr., one of the spark
plugs of the idea, said Saturday.
This should quiet some of the
local yacL tsmen who feared
wholesale assertions to the new
sailing division would raise havoc
with previously established classes.
The idea Of the new class,
Ferry said, was TO provide good
racing for craft which are out
built. outclassed or orphans in
design.
