Frost IsOn WoyIn N. E..

Boston, June 3. (UP)-New Eng Hand farmers, already harried by a drought which has caused an estimated $3,000,000 crop damage where warned by the weather bureau today to prepare for unsea- Sonable froSts tonight.
 The weather bureau said that the frosts would range from heavy in Northern New England to moderate in Southern Maine, New Hamp- shire and Vermont, and light in Massachusetts cranberry bogs and exposed places in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
 Low temperatures were predicted for many sections of New England tonight, with Caribou, Me, facing a drop from yesterdays high Of 17 to g; Burlington, Vt.. 30 to the sos: Concord, N. H., 88 to 40.
 While light showers were fore cast for Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, no real relief from the drought was in prospect.
 Meteorologists said that the tum- bling temperatures would result from the QOWIlSWCCP VI n Aaaoo OA polar air which had remained sta tionary in the Hudson Bay area for several days but which started southward yesterday.
 On Cape Cod the temperature will fall from yesterdays high of 76 to low or middle 40's, threatening the huge Massachusetts cranberry crop which Is centered there, the weather bureau said.
 It was recalled that on this date in 1927 a killing frost ruined a large share of the cranberry crop.
 Meanwhile. Massachusetts State Agriculture Commissioner Louis A. Webster said that the hay crop al- ready has suffered $i,O00.O dam age which will be tripled if the drought does not end shortly. The strawberry crop. he said. also has been severely hit by the frost and drought, and the vegetable crop has suffered a $20o.0000 damage.
 Webster added that the drought was worst in Massachusetts. Tie Connecticut valley has had showers which by-passed this state, he said, and Maine producers report the weather ideal for potato and corn planting.

Seek End To
 All M-W Suits
By RAYMOND LAIR
United Press Staff Corresponder

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, June 3.-(UP)-The Justice Department soon will ask dismissal of all Montgomery Ward and Company suits challenging the validity of War Labor Board orders, it was understood today.
 The action will be based on yes terdays decision of the court of appeals for the District of Columbia that WLB decisions are not subject to court enforcement or review.
 Justice Department and WLB offi- cials, jubilant over the decision, in- terpreted it as approval of the ad- ministration's position in the Ward cases and other legal contests over the validity of WLB orders.
 Three judges of the appeals court unanimously upheld district court in its dismissal of suit brought by group of New England trucking companies. In another case involv- ing Montgomery Ward, a district court refused to dismiss and the government appealed.
 After yesterdays decision. the ap- peals court rejected the government petition and said the lower court could speedily dispose of the case, presumably in accord with the opin- ion in the trucking case.
 Montgomery Ward has filed five suits challenging the legality of WLB orders, particularly the main- tenance of union membership pro- visions. Four of the cases were held in abeyance pending an appeals court ruling on the fifth.
 If the government should win dis missal of the Ward cases, the is- sues may remain unsettled for sev- eral months more in the event that the appeals court ruling should be appealed to the supreme court.

 English coastal watchers saw big formations of planes sweeping east ward against the continent by day. light. Among them were planes of all types from low-flying fighters to heavy bombers, all but lost in the clouds thousands of feet up.
 The report of heavy bombers in action suggested that the Eighth Air Force was sending its flying fortresses and hberators out again a day after 1000 of them struck per- haps the heaviest blow of the war at the French invasion coast.
 While the home-based Royal Air Force was carrying out it's three way attack last night, British bomb- CTS flew from Italy against Giurgiu, Romanian oil Port on the Danube. The night pincers attack on the continent from Britain and the Me- diterranean zone followed a similar daylight operation by American heavy bombers.
 A strong force of RAF heavy weights struck at Trappes in the outskirts of Paris, undoing Nazi repair work on that much bombed rail center from which lines fan out to the channel ports.
 RAF crewmen reported seeing three big explosions at Trappes which plotted out the sprawling rail yards with a blaze of multi colored light. A Halifax pilot said:
 'There were no clouds over Trap pes, and from what I could see the bombing was very well concentrat- ed. On our way back. we ran into intense fighter opposition, and many of us saw tracers flashing across the sky"
