BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT. May ga further
cutting back of production of B-24
bomber planes which will close the
Willow Run bomber plant on June
80 was announced yesterday by the
Army Air Forces.
It was announced earlier that the
huge factory would be closed June
IS, but an Army Air Forces spokes-
man said the date was changed to
keep workers employed as long as
possible.
In announcing the program, Col.
Nelson S. Talbot, commanding
officer of the Central District, Air
Technical Command, said revised
requirements for the B-24 bombers
in the Pacific theater resulted in the
decision to close the plant 80 days
earlier than originally scheduled.

A total of 10,865 workers now are
employed at the plant To reduce
the immediate effect of the layoffs
production Of the planes remaining
on the assembly lines will be pro-
gressively reduced from eight to six
to four day.
The plant, which began produc-
ton in September, 1912, reached its
highest level in March, 1914, when
462 bombers were moved out of the
assembly unit. The highest employ
ment level was approximately A.
900.
In announcing last month that
Willow Run would wind up its war
production job, Col Talbot said
that the Army Air Forces had ac-
cumulated substantial backlog of
B-24 bombers and that with the
shifting of the war to the Pacific
the need was for heavier, faster
bombers, such as the BIG, which fly
higher and farther and carry more
bombs and more armament"
Produced s,5ss Bombers.
Neither the Government, which
OWNS the $100, ,000, 900 plant, nor the

it, has plans for its future use, &C

ments.
