On the 0pp0SlCe Wing Ot the western front, the battle of the Channel ports whirled toward a climax. Canadian troops reached the coast on both sides of Calais, clamplng a pincerS on the town, swarmed into the outskirts within some 20 miles of of Boulogne, and struck Dunkerque.
 United Press Correspond ent Robert c. Richards re- ported from the Third Army front that German resistance had stiffened as the Ameri- cans burst through the Moselle river line, apparently in the Pont-a-Mousson area midway between Metz and Nancy.
 Supreme Headquarters cautioned against taking the patrol thrust into Germany to mean that the assault on the Nazi homeland had be- gun. A headquarters broad cast to foreign workers in Germany, however, said that "the collapse of the German armies in the west means that battles soon will be fought on German soil"
 Coincident with the official as- sertion that Patton's operations still were in the buildup stage and ens eountering increased resistance, senior staff officer made the un- equivocel statement:
 'Of course the Allies can break the Siegfried Line"-the primary defense nelt of Germany proper.

Pioritiies To Rule Post
 Nazi War GI Discharge
BY REUEL s. MOORE United Press Staff Correspondent

SsvS~ EEeD ObaIA correspondent
 Washington, Sept. 6-CUP)-The War Department today revealed plans, based on principles of "jus- tice and impartiality" laid down by e. !. Joe himself, for gradually re. ducing the amry after Germany is whipped by returning "a substant- ial number" of soldiers to civilian lie under an individual priority system.
 The priority system--based on length of service, service overseas, combat credit, and "parenthood credit--will apply to all theaterE and continental United States.
 But although military require. ments in Europe will be drastlcally curtailed" when Germany has been beaten, the war against Japan will still be going on, the War Depart. ment emphasized, and that war will receive first priority in everything, including men.
 To the Pacific theater, the War Department said, will be transport cd millions of fighting men, millions of tons of landing barges, tanks planes, guns, ammunition and food.
 Therefore, 1t may take months before surplus men from no longer active theaters can be returned to the United States to join the "stlr. plus pools from which non-essentl ial soldiers with the highest priori- ty scores will be chosen for dis- charge.
 Regardless of individual priority

Bulgars Seek Terms
 From Irate Soviets
SNEA Radiotelephotol

London, Sept. 6. (UP)-Bulgaria asked for an armistice today less than seven hours after 0 Russian declaration of war, but the German DINE agency reported that Soviet troops crossed the Bulgarian bor- der early this morning.
 The DNB dispatch from Sofia, recorded by OWI, said German forces went into action with Bui- garian defense forces and were en. gazing Soviet arrnored spearheads in violent battles in the coastal and frontier sectors"
 Bulgarian equalization to a threat of Red Army invasion followed closely on Russia's declaration of war, tacitly demanding Bulgarian armed support of the fight against Germany. A Bulgarian delegation hurried to the Russian legation ir Sofia with & formal armistice pro- poSal from Premier Constantin Muraviev's government.
 United Press dispatches from Moscow early today said news of the armistice appeal had not yet been published in the Russian press or confirmed officially.
 CThe United Nations radio at Al- giers reported today that the Bull garian cabinet was in session last night and afterwards signed, in the name of the Bulgarian government, the arEnistice with Russia.)

WIPE To Ease Curbs When Nazis Give Up

Washington, Sept. 6 - (UP) - The War Production Board, with Army-Naval approval, today began working out the details of 8 recon version program under which, in the words of one government source, almost anything the public wants" will be on the market six or seven months after Germany's defeat.
 The plan, which WIPE termed drastic, was announced last night by Acting Chairman J. A. Krug, who said industry would be allowed to make whatever people want" after Germany surrenders with no re- strictions except those necessary to bring about swift defeat of Japan.
 The 36-year-old Krug, given blanket authority by President Roosevelt less than two weeks ago to run production as he saw fit, said the program was designed to make new jobs for an estimated 4,000 900 war workers who will be thrown out of employment with the defeat of Germany.
 Industry is to be allowed in its own way, according to the availabil- ity of markets, men, materials, and plants to do the swiftest and most effective job possible of restoring production, making whatever people want and affording maximum em- ployment, just as quickly as pos- sible", Krug declared.
 But, he warned. WIPE will be standing by with its steering gear and brakes in good condition" in case unexpected shortages develop.
 Explanations
 Krug was expected to explain at a press conference today what the program will mean in terms of con- sumer goods. But meanwhile, an inc formed source high in government said the anticipated minimum 40 per cent war-order cutback that will follow a German collapse should start many civilian items rolling of assembly lines in from one to seven months. ttes
 He pointed out that radios may be one of the first non-military items to reach the public because e mere

Sweden Bars Wor Guilty

Stockholm, Sept. 6,-(UP)-Swe- den will not grant asylum to war criminals, minister of social af- fairs Gustav Moeller said today.
 Outlining his governments policy for the first time, Moeller said:
 Thus far it has been our policy to keep our frontiers open for refu- gees but 1t should not be concluded we will grant asylum to those who by their action defied the conscience of a civilized world or betrayed their cwn country.
 Tt can be taken for granted that Sweden will close its frontier against any large or small invasion of such political refugees and should any- one slip through he will be returned to his country"

BY EDEANoR PACKARD United Press War Corrcsp0ndent)

Rome, September 6. - (UP) - It. Gen. Alexander M. Patch's Seventh Army raced up the French Saone river valley virtually unop- posed today, quickly 'tumb- ling five key road functions and driving to within less than 65 miles of American lines in northern France.
 (Unconformed Swiss radio reports herad in London and c CBS broad. cast from France said units of the Seventh Army and It. Gen. George s. Patton's Third Army had made contact in on undisclosed area of central F'rance.)
 Officially the gap between the two forces waSBS lnsles. but clements, Of bQkh armies probably were sev- erai niles beyond the points an. flOunoed in communiques.
 French troops, who have met al- most no opposition in the race up the Saone, swept through the towns of Cluny, Le Villars and Sennecey and reached the approaches of Chal- on-Sur-Saone, nine miles north of sennecey.
 GA German communique said Nazl troops had been withdrawn to the area around Dion and Langres Plateau, approximately S5 miles north of Chalon-Sur- -Saone)
 The drive encompassed Q 26-mile advance up highway six from Ma con, where yesterday the French were 90 miles from northern Allied forces.
 The French troops advancing on Chalon-Sur- -Saone anchored Q 28- mile front which stretched across the valley to the road and rail junc- ton of Lons le Saunier, which the Americans captured in the sweep northward toward the Belfort gap into Germany.

CED Tax Plan Would Cut LeUies
 On Lowest Bracket Taxpayers

Washington, SerA G. (UP) -. Congress was offered another com- prehensive plan today for one of its biggest lo45 problems, the drafting of tax law for the postwar period.
 The proposal came from the re- search committee of the committee for economic development, which suggested a tax structure calculated to raise between SIT, ,I0O, ,00O, 600 and e1e,500, 900, 900 after the var.
 While the CEn plan could cut all wartime 1eTies, would offer the greatest pzOpoftI6nate reduce tions to the lowest bracket taxpayer who would be relieved of the present three per cent normal tax, and to the upper bracket income recipients and the corporations.
 The plan would reduce personal taxes on a net income of 92OO0 (after deductions but before ex- emptions) for 6 couple with two dependents from the present levy of &A5 to nothing. on s4,OOO from e505 to sS00. on e1O.O0O from $2,245 to e1,8o0 and on el.O0O.O0O from 4o0O. 900 to e597 .07o.

Nozis Fear Retaliation

London, Sept. 6 - (U.P) - The strange spectacle of Nazi forces in disorderly flight in the west while putting up Q terrific fight against Russia in the east was attributed today to German fear of Russian vengeance for uncounted atrocities in the Soviet Union.
 Both Allied and Russian observers believed Germany would rather lose in the west to the Americans and British than in the east to Russia.
 The Germans never attempted to bring up heavy reinforcements to delay the Allies in France, although they were continually replenisi1ing their hard pressed forces through Poland where they lost as many as 1000 tanks in some weeks. F
 A German army spokesman, Lieu tenant General Kurt Dittmar, in his weekly broadcast to the German people, attributed the collapse in France to the lack of reserves and the material superiority of Allied forces.

Army Seizes Ohio Plants

Cleveland, O., Sept. 0-(uP)- A threatened walkort of e1.0Oo work CTS in war plants in Detroit, Toledo and Cleveland was averted today by the government seizure of two nlants of the Cleveland bronze coln- pany which had been idle for six days because an employe broke Q 75 cent locker room lock.
 Picket lines dispersed and work. CTS returned to their jobs of manu- factiiring vital parts for superfort- resses, tanks, jeeps and trucks soon after President Roosevelt ordered the army to operate the plants last night.
 Matthew Smith, National secre- tary of the Mechanics Educational Society of America and chief of it's strike committee. said some 5000 @aion members would work as long as the army retained control of the plants. He said . scheduled elmerg- ency session of the Mesa's executive board, which was to have ordered the tri-city strike, would be held today but would discuss moves to be taken should the two plants be re- turned to their owners.
 The strike began week ago when Elmer Torok, ( machine operator, was discharged for smashing 75 cent lock in the locker room beeatise he had lost his key. Union leaders ordered the walkout in protest. Ur- gent pleas by the Regional War Labor Board and the army air force failed to end the strike. The WTiB presented the case to the white home last night and the president immediately ordered Secretary of War FInry L. Stimson to seize the plants.
