July Aircraft Output
Is DAB Planes Under
Goal, Krug Reports
Mark Missed Despite
Lower Quotes; B-29
Plans on Schedule
Fy the Associated Press.

Fy the Associated Press.
In spite of greatly lowered
production goals, aircraft out
put in July missed its mark by
243 planes, Chairman J. A. Krug
of the War Production Board
reported today.
The total of 4,784 planes deliv-
cred brought the monthly output
below 1900 aircraft for the first
time since October, 1912. 1t was
the second consecutive behind
schedule month.
Much of the deficit was attributed
by Mr.. Krug to two companies
which he did not name, producing
Navy fighters and twin-engine
bombers, which were affected by
manpower shortages.
In airframe weight, $500, ,00C
pounds we're produced in July, a
drop of 18 per cent from June. The
average work-day rate of produc-
ton was 184 planes, compared with
223 in June.
The one bright spot in the pic
ture was the fact that all plants
producing the long-range B-29
bomber were on schedule" Mr.
Krug said.
He re-emphasized his concern over
the alarming labor trend" in air
craft plants, reporting that workers
were quitting their jobs at such 8
rate as to threaten production scheo.
ules in coming months.
Because aircraft is such a vita
fighting weapon, I personally urge
ali workers to stay on their job
and keep the 'airplanes rolling of
the production lines until the day
of final victory"
The July output, by major types
and the percentage by which sched-
ule was missed follow:
Bombers, 1872, down % per cent
fighters and naval reconnaissance
planes, 2,l93. Gown 81 per cent

Labor Industry Tolerance
Urged by SchweIIenbach
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
asserted last night that neither in
dustry nor labor can afford to be
intolerant IF we are successfully to
reconvert to a peacetime economy"
Mr.. Schwellenbach in q radio
broadcast said:
Il advance this proposition with
out asking either side to abandon
its self-interest, but we must insist
that our self-interest shall serve the
public interest for the common good
Organized labor during the last IL
years, he added, made greater gains
than during all its previous history.
Il do not want it to lose a single
step which it has advanced" he con-
tinued. Organized labor must-and
am confident it will-recognize
more than ever that with the estab-
lishment OF its rights it must assume
in even greater measure its respon-
sibilities to the common good"

Laval Testifies
Nazis Ordered
His Speeches
He and Petuin Were
Forced to Protest
Landings in Afrieo
Pictures on Fage A-3.) J

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, Aug. 4.-Pierre Lava
testified today that the Germans
ordered both him and Marsha
Petain to speak out against the
Allies 1912 landings in North
Africa, and contended they were
forced to obey.
Reminded by the judge in Petain's
treason trial that the old marshal
sent certain messages which he
ought not to have sent" Laval said
"Petain was not free. He was
ordered by the Germans to send
those messages. l also was in
structed to speak publicly on the
subject. The Germans told
me it was no real protest"
Petain's defense contends he made
every effort to see that French
commanders in North Africa did not
oppose the landings.
Matter of Survival.
Giving a preview of part of the
defense at his own forthcoming
trial, Laval said:
1T would have been impossible
for France to survive without COL
laboration"
France, he contended, Jared bet
ter under occupation than Belgium
and obtained the release of $4,000
prisoners in return for 100000
French workers sent to Germany.
At the start of today's trial ses-
sion Laval resumed his story of the
1912 broadcast in which he ex-
pressed hope for German victory.
He said he had given his reasons
for making this talk when Admiral
William D. Leahy demanded an ex-
planation. but did not detail the
conversation with Admiral Leahy,
then United States Ambassador to
Vichy.
Laval testified:
"A few days after that broadcast
Admiral Leahy and Mr.. S. Pinkney
Tuck counselor to the United
States Embassy at Vichy) came to
see me. / explained the reason for
the statement, what l meant by it,
and the practical effects of it."
Leahy's Reaction Not Given.
Laval did not relate the reaction
of Leahy, now chief of staff to
President Truman. In a letter read
earlier at the Petain trial, Leahy
expressed belief that the 89-year-
old marshal always had acted in
the best interests of France.
Lavafs mention of Leahy came
after a defense attorney asked ii
the United States had made any
move to break diplomatic relations
with Vichy after the broadcast by
Laval bespeaking a Hitler victory
A Juror remarked that Laval
should know that after his de-
parture yesterday Marshal Petain
said that he insisted on the re-
moval of that phase from the radio
speech" Petain told the court he
was amazed when he heard the
speech delivered with the disputed
passage.
StdHus On Earlier StdtciHcht.
Laval testified yesterday he broad
cast the statement, Il desire a Ger
man victory" only after Petain made
him change the wording from 81
believe in a German victory"
Today, in response to the juror
Laval said:
Il stand on what said. The mar
shall deleted the word believed but
left the word desire And he was
not indignant at ALL"
Laval testified that long after he
made the broadcast, Petain said In

Jap Hospital Ship Carrying

North of Tmor, for Investigation

The ships route was not disclosed
The Banda Sea is roughly 400 miles
north of Australia. The area Is
filled with small and large islands
mostly Dutch, which have been oc.
cupied by the Japanese since the fall
of the Netherlands Indies. The hos
pital ship could have been transfer

made of hospital ship.
Another japanese hospital ship

Pacific Plans Drawn

By the Associated Press.

Blueprints drawn by the COM
bined American British chiefs OF
staff for conquest of Japan were
being carried homeWard today
by President Truman, aboard the
United States cruiser Augusta.
The announcement which was
made from the ship and in London
yesterday that Army and Navy
leaders had perfected their plans
for chopping up and destroying the
japanese military machine, gave nc
details.
From the statement that there
had been discussion of "reallocation
of areas and commands" and CO.
ordination Of forces, however, II
seemed plain that they had appor-
toned responsibility and delineated
joint strategy for the final, all-out
smash to force japanese surrender
and liberate occupied territories.
Russia Not Mentioned.
The military talks took place
during the Big Three meeting at
Potsdam and the staff proposals
were approved by President Truman
and Prime Minister Attlee- the an
nouncement said. Russia, not at
war with Japan, did not appear in
the announcement.
The joint disclosure said in brief
1t was agreed that the British
will direct against Japan all naval
land and air forces which can be
used to advantage.
Reallocation of operational areas
and commands was discussed anc
consideration given to use of forces
furnished by other Allied nations
at war with the Japs.
Details of co-ordinating British
and American Army and Navy
might were talked over at length
Mountbatten Shift Seen.
1t was considered probable here
that Lord Louis Mountbatten, Brit.
ish commander in Southeast Asia
will be placed in charge of an area
extending from the Solomon Islands
to line just south of the Philip
pines.
This would make him responsible
for liberation of Singapore, the
Indies and the Malay States.
1t would leave Gen. Macarthur
and Admiral Nimitz, commanding
United States force, free to con.
centrate on the Japanese homeland
or other objectives in greatly
reduced area.
Congress members, taking theil
cue from suggestion by 1t. Gen
James Doolittle, proposed that Gen
Macarthur be named supreme COM
mander for the Pacific, as Gen
Dwight Eisenhower was in NORTH
Africa and Europe. Gen. Doolittle
commander of the 9th Air Force
urged in a speech at Okinawa ap.
pointment of a single commander
to hasten victory.
