B-24 Production 10 Stop
Al Willow Run by August
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, April 18.-The big
Ford-operated Willow Run bomber
plant will wind up its production OF
four-engined B-24 warplanes and
probably its participation in the
war effort not later than August.
Col. Nelson S. Talbot. command
ing officer of the central district,
Air Technical Service Command
announced plans to terminate
Liberator bomber production in a
statement issued at the 67-acre
plant yesterday. 1t had been de-
cided, he said, because of the "un-
expectedly rapid collapse of the
German Luftwaffe," and the need
in the Pacific theater of heavier,
faster bombers such as the B-29."
Col. Talbot said the AAF is
studying the possibility of utilizing
the plant facilities for production of
other items. However, it has been
frequently stated that the big plant
designed for volume production of
the B-24 could not be adapted to
other plane output except at great
expense.
Directly affected are 1,731 workers
at Willow Run and 5000 others en-
ployed in other Ford plants supply

Filipino Citizenship

The House unanimously passed

legislation permitting the natural

came quickly on the heels of a
speech by Brig. Gen. Carlos P. Ro-
mulo, who told the House of jap
atrocities perpetrated on his coun-
trymen
simultaneously with Gen. Ro-
mulo's disclosures, the War Depart
ment released a summary of a re-
port by Gen. Douglas Macarthur
telling of "barbarous and appalling
atrocities" by the Japs during the
defense of Manils..
The report charged that babies
were repeatedly stabbed and
slashed with bayonets, even in their
mothers arms; women and young
girls were violated. ="
In lauding Gen. Romulos ad-
dress, House Majority Leader Nc
Cormack said the Philippines can
always count on the Congress of the

Guard troops burned to death LOO
political prisoners here within the
last few days while evacuating a
concentration camp at nearby
Mleste, 80 miles northwest of
Madgeburg, a survivor said today
The informant, one of six persons
who escaped from the ghastly death
roundup, said Belgian, French, Pol
lsh and Dutch prisoners were
marched into great brick ware
house near here. Straw which had
been strewn feet thick on the floor
then was ignited, turning the build
Ing into an inferno.
Today pile of charred bodies 6
feet high can be seen.
Fearing the approach Of the
American 9th Army-which had al
ready by-passed them to hit the
Elbe-the Germans removed the
prisoners from Mieste Thursday.
They were brought to Gardelegen, 25
miles north of Madgeburg, Friday
night.
We didn't think anything out
Of the ordinary in being marched
into a large building" one of the
survivors said. I'VE had walked
into buildings just like it many
times before.
But then we smelled gasoline in
the straw-and suddenly flames
shot through the building.
I'VE beat out the flames soon
after the Hitler Youth who had
been left to guard us started the
fire, but then the ones who had
been left to guard the doors with
machine guns fired tracer bullets
into the building, setting it aflame
again"
How any one escaped was hard to
say. All this particular survivor,
a Frenchman. knew was that he
scratched and crawled over the
bodies of the living and dying and
the dead until fresh air hit his lungs.
Then he hid in woods until

First steps to transfer this coun-

Japan already are under way. Its
financial accomplishment now Is ex-
pected four months earlier than
had been planned.
High officials who disclosed this
with the understanding they would
not be quoted by name emphasized
that the full tide of redeployment
will not set in until the Allies in
Europe are satisfied that organized
military resistance there is at an
end.
However, some items of equipment
originally labelled for delivery in
Europe have been shipped instead
to the Pacific.
Personnel shifts, confined for the
present to comparatively small num-
bers of specialist troops, have been
instituted.
Redeployment planners have been
confronted with one dominant bot
tleneck-shipping. To ease it, they
now plan to make double use of the
large number of fast cargo ships now
in the American mercantile-type
fleet.
Some of these will be sent to Eu-
ropean ports with relief and re-
habilitation material needed in Eu-
