LONDON, June 11. The Minister of Supply (Mr H. Morrison), in the House of Commons, said the independent chairman and vicechairman of the Tank Board had suggested that the Tank Department of the Ministry df Supply must be controlled by civilians now engaged in rapid commercial production methods. The Army must state its needs unequivocally through a focal point. They also suggested that this focal point in the War Office should be occupied by an officer of high rank with recent fighting experience with tanks. Mr Morrison added that he and Mr Eden had agreed that these suggestions should be adopted and carried out expeditiously.
