REDUCES RAIL LINE
Thousands OF Soldiers Re-

Norway And Finland
BY JOHN H. COLBURN

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 18- Up -
Germany is weakening her mill
tary position in Norway and Fin
land and retreating all along the
line from Smolensk area to the
Sea of AZoX to establish a shorter
Russian front. In :. frantic shifting
of troops to meet anticipated new
Allied invasion blows, reports
reaching Stockholm said today.
Twenty to 10000 German troops
have been removed from Norway
in the last month, and thousands
one unconfirmed report said two
divisions-have been withdrawn
from Finland since Sept. /.
Most soldiers trained in noun
tain operations were said to have
been transferred to the Balkans,
where the Nazis general staff faces
a difficult task in replacing %
Italian garrison divisions.
Moved To Italy

from Berlin that elite German
troops have been moved from the

OWL To Request More
Funds For Propaganda

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-(R
The Office of War Informa-
ton has reorganized its over
seas division anew, and stimuli
taneously has laid plans to ask
Congress for several million
dollars of additional funds to
keep the. propaganda war in
step with the march of mill
tary events.
The change affected mainly
the European and african thea
ter. 1t makes James P. War
burg, deputy director in charge
of psychological warfare poll
cy since last February, respon-
sible for U. S. propaganda
aimed at enemy and occupied
nations, and puts Ferdinand
Kuhn in charge of information-
al programs aiming the neutral
and Allied countries.
In effect, OWL has divided
the European countries along
political lines, instead of the
geographical grouping which
have been in effect since last
February.

LONDON, Sept. 1s- R The
United States army air force is de-
veloping new short-range bombers
capable of carrying a great weight
of explosives to hasten the defeat
of Germany, it was learned here
today.
Up to now bomber development
has been centered on long-range
giants. It has been disclosed that
super-Flying Fortresses and super
Liberators capable of flying the
Atlantic round-trip without refuel-
ling are in production, and these
will be especially needed in the
Pacific.

ADMIRAL STANDBY
RETURNING TO U. S.
U. S. Envoy To Russia
Plans To Make Report
To Hull, Roosevelt

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1S.-(R-
In a step possibly preliminary to
three-power conference of high
American, British, and Soviet rep
resentatives, Admiral William H.
Standby, U. S. ambassador to
Moscow, is coming home to make
a personal report to Secretary of
State Hull and President Roose-

His imminent return was made
known today by the state depart
ment which said it was for con-
sultation in connection with dis
cussions being carried on with the
British and Soviet governments.
Department spokesman were
noncommital when asked whether
Standley would go back to Moscow
after his consultations here are
completed, but in view of persist
ent reports that he might be re-
placed and he fact that he has
been quoted more than once as
wishing to avoid another winter in
Russia, it was considered here
that his return to Moscow is prob
lematical at best.
His recall to Washington came
as reports - nowhere officially
