Jack Kimberly’s Work
In Washington, Praised
In a northern metropolitan
newspaper, which is running a
series of articles about Donald
M. Nelson’s chief aides in the
War Production B oar'd who are
helping speed up America’s war
production, appeared the follow
ing which will be of interest to
his Tryon friends:
“Washington, July 30.—In the
gallery of portraits of personali
ties who have helped Donald M.
Nelson to perform as generalissi
mo of production, John R. Kim
berly has played an important
role in facilitating the conversion
of civilian industries to their new
khaki roles of armament makers.
“Kimberly shared with Amory
Houghton the job of assisting
Philip D. Reed, chairman of Gen
eral Electric, in his wartime pole
as director of industrial branches
of the War Production Board.
“One of the top ranking men on
the board, ?n sizing up Kimberly’s
work said to me:
“He is a young man who came
here unknown and who made very
great progress. He is very able,
and has been capable in any job as
signed to him. He gets along with
people, and is what we call around
here a total man.’
“Kimberly’s operating philoso
phy inheres in starting out by get.
ting his facts straight, and then,
having studied a situation, mak
ing a fight to stand his ground.”
