B-29 Output

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL. up
The vast aircraft building program,
which sent alOft mighty air army
to help roll back Axis armies in
Europe and Africa, faced its first
major retrenchment Friday and a
shift in emphasis to the giant
super" bombers needed to defeat
Japan.
The War Department /dvised the

night that as a result of the sue
cessful Ncrmany invasion it was
cutting pack production of four
motorod B-24 Liberator bombers;
C-46 cargo planes, and possibly
P-47 Thunderbolt fighters.
The drastic readjustment will re-
lease 10000 aircraft workers by
the end of 1914, but all of them will
be needed in other vital industries.
The War Department said that
emphasis in remaining plane out
put was being shifted to increasing
the production of B-29 Super

Kenneth Robinson, the court
appointed counsel for the three
sisters, talked with them immed-
lately after the verdict was read
and later quoted them as saying:
How can they find us guilty of
conspiracy If they can't find us

been decided whether such a mo-
ton would be filed. The time was
granted, and Judge Symes will not
pronounce sentence until the end OF
that period.
The three sisters are Mrs. Tsuru-

soldiers on an onion farm near
Trinidad, Colo, where the Ger

Still Remain
Idle on Strikes
BY UNITED PRESS

Settlement of a four-day wildcat

where in the nation approximately
$4,000 workers, including $4,000

Threaten Split
OF Nazis Force
On Poland Front
BY HENRY SHAPIRO

MOSCOW, Aug. II. (UP)
The 1st Ukrainian army
drove giant wedge across
southern Poland to within
18 miles or less of Kielce Friday,
Threatening to split the German
armies in Poland and outflank
Warsaw from the south.
Two other Red armieS-the 1st
and 2nG White Russian--advanced
up to 10 miles in coordinated as
saults designed to crumple the
German defenseS between Warsaw
and East Prussia and ultimately
outflank the embattled Polish capi-
tai from the north.
BITTEREST DEFENSE
The Germans were putting up
their bitterest defense of the sum-
mer offensive anG front dispatches
said the Nazi command had thrown
caution to the winds in hurting
tank reserves against Russian mo-
bile guns and anti-tank artillery
along a 360-mile front from Riga
to Warsaw
Whole German divisions were be-
ing sacrificed in a frantic race with
time to permit the TODT organiza-
ton to complete the fortification
of East Russia and to enable the
Wehrmacht to reorganize its bat
tered forces for the defense of both
Eass Prussia and Warsaw.
In the last "a hours alone, the
Russians knocked out 1879 German
tanks along the Riga Warsaw line
to bring the toll of enemy armor in
the past three days to 478. In addi-
ton, l48 German planes have been
shot down in the 72-hour period.
Marshal Ivan S. Konev sent his
armored spearheads rolling % miles
beyond the Vistula in southern Po-
land with the capture of Lagow, 19
miles from Kielce, and Krakow, 10
miles to the south.
PERIL RAIL LINE
The fall of Kielce, 95 miles south
OF Warsaw, would cut the Polish
capitals main railway link with
Krakow, the Germans main strong
hold in southern Poland, and also
imperil Radon, about midway be-
tween Kielce and Warsaw.
Russian Baltic forces seized Jeka-
Pills, southeastern anchor of the
German defense line below Riga
in an advance through wooos and
SWamps along the DvinSk-Riga rail
way. The remnants of the enemy
garrison were thrown back into the
DVlna river, where MANY drowned.
On the southern front, Russian
forces advanced 10 miles toward
the Uzck pass through the Car
pathian mountains and captured
JaSionka- -MaSioWa, II miles from
TIE CzechoSlovak border.
