Near TiraspoI Only
Red Front ACTIVITY
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON. May 23.-Small- scale
German reconnaissance attacks in
the area of Tiraspol in the lower
Dnestr River valley were reported
today by Moscow as aslull continued
along the rest of the long eastern
front--a lull which military COM
mentators on both sides again pre-
dicted would end soon.
The NaZi attacks yesterday along
the Dnestr battle line were repulsed
and 300 Germans were killed in the
sporadic fighting. said Russian
communique broadcast by Moscow
and recorded by the Soviet monitor
here.
Land Front Unchanged.
There were no essential changes
along the entire land front, the war
bulletin said, but declared % Nazi
planes were destroyed during the
last two days in 'air eombats or by
antiaircraft fire.
A German commentator, Ernst
Won Hammer, declared meantime in
Berlin broadcast that major
Soviet offensives ARE imminent" in
the lower Dnestr and middle Siret
sectors. He said the Russians were
bringing up motorized and armored
formations to the lines in those
areas day and night"
Nazis Reinforcing Front.
A Soviet military commentator,
Col. P. P. Voronin, said in a Mos
COW broadcast that the Germans
were bringing up reinforcements
along the front. He predicted a
f1areup in land fighting soon.
A4German claim, first made Sum
day, that two Russian divisions had
been "encircled and annihilated'' in
the lower Dnestr area in the last
two days was repeated yesterday by
Col. Won Oldberg, another Nazi mill
tary commentator. There has been
no substantiation of this enemy
claim in Soviet communicates.

Navy Ends Contract
with Brewster and
Poses Test for WPB
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The War Production Boards abil-
ity to cope with an eventual food
of war plant shutdowns came ur
against a test today in the case
Of the Brewster Aeronautical Corp.
shorn OF its job of making fighter
planes.
While four Government agencies
sought war-useful work for Brew
ster's big plants at townsville, Pa.
and Long Island City, N. Y, whose
output of Corsair fighter planes will
be choked of July l, WPB officials
expressed strong doubt that either
would be permitted to turn to any
form OF civilian manufacture.
WPB said the Army, Navy and
War Manpower Commission had
been asked to report on the posi-
bility OF new contracts for Brewster
and that solution may appear
within two or three days.
This gave rise to hope that new
work could be started in time to
prevent any prolonged idleness for
either the workers or the produc-
ton facilities.
The Navy Cancelled it's contract
With Brewster as part of an an
nounced reduction IN fighter plane
output, noting that there was "ne
dissatisfaction" with the manage.
ment OF Henry j. Kaiser, Pacifi,
Coast shipbuilder who took over tn.
troubled company last year at Gov.
ernment request, or with the new
management which succeeded Mr.
Kaiser.
Mr.. Kaiser took over direction o.
Brewster after long investigation
lby the House Naval Affairs Com.
imittee into charges of production
failures linked to management ans
labor troubles.
The Navy said the Brewster con
ltTact had called for production O
l1,500 Corsaifs and that y4July
about half OF this number would b,
produced.
| Because the elimination of Brew
ster production is not sufficient t,

also announced scaling down il
