WPB Ready 70 Lift
Industry Controls
Any Dale War Ends
By the Associated Press


London reports that planners Of
the United States war effort had fig
ured October 81 as the outside date"
Of German collapse brought from
War Production Board oflcials the
comment they were ready for the
end of European hostilities-no mat
ter how early victory comes.
An Associated Press dispatch from
London yesterday quoted q RESPONSE
BILE non-British source as saying the
October 81 date had been selected by
the WPB after consultations with
military sources in working out plans
to make a partial change from, war
to civilian production.
J. A. Krug, acting chairman of
WPB, refused to comment on the
report, but other officials of the
agency said they were prepared to
order promptly the lifting of most
Government controls on industry, In
accordance with the general recon-
version pattern announced last week.
Other Government sources said
Army authorities recently withdrew
their opposition to public recover
sion planning because of a feeling
that the end of the war with Ger
many is reasonably close. They
stated the Army had found that
publicity given cutback and war con-
tract cancellations had not caused
mass exodus of workers from war
plants, as had been feared, nor did it
cause drop in production of key
weapons whose output was behind
schedule.
The London source emphasized the
reported WPB war schedule called
fog no sacrifice of requirements for
carrying on the conflict in the
Pacific. The October 81 date like
wise was said to be tentative because
of possibilities that a new revolt
against Hitler could shorten the war
by weeks, or that the Nazis might
bring out some new weapon which
could delay the Allied victory.
Coincident with disclosure of the
London report, Chairman McNutt of
the War Manpower Commission
gave American industry a go-ahead
signal to put engineers and techni-
clans to work on planning for re-
sumption of civilian production. He
cautioned that the assignment of
such experts must not interfere with
urgent war output.

Battle front dispatches said the
half-hearted defense by the Ger
man Army In the outer reaches Of
the Siegfried Line suggested the en-
emy command realized it probably
would have to fall back at least to
the Rhine for a death stand.
Supreme headquarters recalled
that the Germans could not hold the
Allies inside the Normandy beach,
head with q 70-mile battle line and
Is divisions. a defense density Of
one division to miles. Now the en-
emy is holding front of close to $50
miles and, though that front Is
fortified, the Germans have no
more troops to hold it than the
number with which they failed
in Normandy. The Germans thus
we're stretched to one division for
every 10 miles of front.
The Algiers radio broadcast 4 re-
port that Americans had entered
Trier. This was not confirmed at
supreme headquarters.
In addition to the crossing into
Holland near Maastricht, the Allied
communique announced another
drive in the British I'd Army sector
to the northwest without making
clear whether 1t was in addition to
the previously reported British PEN
etration of that country.

This drive was aimed squarely at

hoyen, IL miles north of the bor-
der-and Paris broadcast said the
British already had reached the
town.
Air reconnaissance in wide sweeps
over Holland showed neither any
considerable German troop concen-
trations nor any heavy movement
by road or rail.
The Germans, who have acknowl-
edged the fall of one Siegfried Line
fortification, said in q Berlin broad

cans, supported by very powerful
