 Civilian Program Of Production

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12. --tAP,-The War Production Board today announced Donald Nelson's full program to prepare industry to return to civilian pro- duction, and which will be order ed to be in effect, beginning Sat urday.
 The only concession granted to the Army and the Navy, oppo- nents of the measure, was the staggering all the dates on which the plan will be put into opera ton.
 The announcement climaxes the story of inter departmental fight ing in which Nelson was opposed by the army and navy on the grounds that the program would divert manpower from arms pro- ductlon.
 Chairman Nelson denied that the program would affect war production, but would give jobs to some who are not able to Se- cure employment in war work and enable companies which are withdrawn from such war produc- ton by cancellation of orders and contracts, and turn them to ease the vital needs of the civilian populace.
 The last of the orders on the program is slated to go into ef- feet August 18th.

'Heavies' Attack Communications Around Munich

LONDON, July l2.-(AP)-- Over 1000 American "heavies' attacked German communications and other objectives in the Mum ich area, in the second attack in two days on the south German natal city" of the Nazi party.
 Up to 750 fighters conveyed the Liberaters over Germany's fourth largest city, and railway bottle neck for traffic to Italy and France.
 The German communique said the assault of 100 heavies in the Munich region yesterday was g terror attack.
 The city, with its 828,000 per sons, lies 720 miles from London as the bombers fly, and 25 miles from the foothills of the Alps which cradles numerous German war industries.
 American medium and light hombers simultaneously attacked three important fuel dumps be hind the German lines in Nor mandy.
 Tn all, by noon, American planes had carried out five attacks on Normandy in support of the "foot Sloggers".
 Around a quarter of an hour apart, two forces of Marauders hit a fuel dump, ten miles south of Caen in the Cinelais forest.
 Troop concentrations there were also attacked.
 On the east-west Normandy front yesterday, allied fighters, hombers and rocket planes des- troyed 28 German tanks and dam aged 16 more.
 This amounts to one-fifth of tue tank strength of a German arm ored division.
 The Munich attack cost us 20 bombers and two fighters.

 Push Forward 7,
 Along Italian Coast

ROME, July 12.-(AP)-Ameri- can light armered elements push ed forward two miles along the west Italian coast yesterday, in the face of bitter German resist ,ance, capturing the town of Cas- tiglioncello, thus bringing the Fifth Army within eight miles of Livorno, and some eight miles in- land.
 However, the American infan- try is running into some very stiff opposition in their advance toward Pastia, where the Germans are showing the utmost determination to delay the progress.
 The German radio said the Nazi lines between Poggibonsi, on the west coast, have withdrawn two miles northward after particular ly violent fighting in which 25 U. S. tanks were wiped out.
 Heavy fighting was reported on both sides of the Fiber river, where strong British forces were attempting to break through.
 American troops farther east, also encountered tough going northeast of Lajatico, where the Nazis counter-attacked fiercely but were repelled.
 In the thrust, Lajatico itself was brought under attack.
 In the upper Tiber river valley Eighth Army troops occupied vil- lages of Meone, Nora, Mucignani, and cleared the 3,000-ft. Mount Civitella of the enemy.
 Meanwhile, on the Adriatic coast, Italian troops were credited cinity of the Musone river, and with a slight advance in the vii Ancona was brought under allied artillery fire.
