ers by the end of this year.
Downward trends over the next
II months were set for Liberator
bombers. Gas transports and Thun-
derbolt fighters, coinciding with
growing emphasis on the new aerial
scourges of Japan-the big Boeing
B-29 and its new sister, the Con-
solidated B-32
Twenty thousand persons will be
released in the next 80 days, the
War Department estimated in Or
dering the cutback yesterday, but
3400 other aircraft jobs are waiting
for them
Successes in the European inva-
sion set the aircraft production
shift in motion, it was learned. The
action was planned last May, but
was delayed until the advance into
Europe and the impotence of the
Luftwaffe demonstrated that the
aircraft industrys output could
safely be aimed at the japanese
Empire.
One Major Casualty.
Only one major casualty occurred
among the aircraft makers. Hig-
gins Aircraft, Inc, of New Orleans
was stopped in its contract for so
Gas Commando" cargo planes
monthly before any were delivered.
This repeated the experience of
Higgins with Liberty ships in 1912.
The contract was Cancelled before
a keel was laid. The air transport
contract was given as substitute,
and the company was declared to
have made slow progress on plane
production
Some 5000 workers are affected
in New Orleans by the Commando
cutback, but it was indicated about
half might be retained to work on
wing panels and other parts.
In three Curtiss-Wright plants
producing the "Commando''-St.
Louis. Buffalo and Louisville-pro-
duction will rise for the rest of this
year, with 1915 schedules taper
ing off.
Liberator bombers gradually will
be taken out of production at North
Americans plant in Dallas and will
be reduced at Ford's Willow Run
plant and the Consolidated ultee
firm at San Diego.
BRA Being Replaced.
"The B-24 is being replaced in
considerable part by the BIG and
B-32," said the announcement, re-
released by the Office of War Infor-
nation. The San Diego plant will
turn to the B-32, a super bomber
whose characteristics still are secret
but which was designed as a run
ming mate to the BIOS.
Shifts of aircraft subcontracts
from Akron, Ohio, and Southern
California will be made to relieve
what was described as acute labor
shortages there. The subcontracts
in unannounced volume, will be
