YUGOSLAVS ACCEPT
ALLIED OCCUPATION

TRIESTE, May 25.-(F- Yugo-
slav forces have accepted Ameri-
can and British occupation of ter
ritory north of here in a friendly
spirit, Allied officers said tonight,
and have been taking down all con-
crete road blocks between Trieste
and the border of Yugoslavia.
The road blocks were removed to
speed traffic and relieve a serious
food shortage spreading through
the disputed area.
It is assumed that the Yugoslavs
took up new positions opposite the
new Allied line running east OF
the Isonzo river, which Marshal
Tito's forces originally considered
the western line of their occupa.
ton zone.
This, however, is considered nor.
NAL and Allied officers said there
had been no display ofNbelligerence.

$1,000 Craft

In New Plans
JOBS TO DECREASE
Superfort Construction To
Be Increased Until =
Mid-1945

WASHINGTON, May 25.-U.D-
An estimated $1,000 combat planes
will be eliminated from production
schedules during the next ID months
in a drastic aircraft program cut
back announced tonight by the
Army Air Forces. 81
Most of the leading combat
planes will be affected to varying
degrees by the cutback and vir-
tually every city manufacturing
planes will feel its impact.
E-29 Superfortresses will be con-
tinued at substantially above the
present output rate until mid-194o.
But production of the B-32 Domino
tor, which has not yet seen action
will be cut back sharply and elinI'
mated completely at the end OF the
year.
On the bases of airframe weight.
aircraft output will be cut Gack
80 per cent during the last hall
Of 1915, another 10 per cent during
the first half of 1916 and five per
cent more in the last half OF next
year.
The net effect will be to reduce
combat aircraft output by 1900
planes during the next IS months.
The announcement did not est.
mate the number Of aircraft en-
ployes who will be thrown out OF
work by the cutback-the sharpest
yet undertaken.
Peak aircraft employment was
reached in November, 1943, when
2, 1O2, 1000 persons were engaged in
the nations gigantic warplane
program. BY last March, the figure
| had dropped to i, 643, 900. This drop
of some 46O,0O0 in employment
figures reflected previous cut
backs.
Under the revised program, most
of the leading combat types will
be subject to varying degrees Of
cutbacks. Affected by the slash
are seven combat types and three
transport plane types.
No change was announced In the
production schedule for the new
models of two mainstay fighter
planes-the PAT Thunderbolt and
the Psi Mustang.
Production of Bog Superfortres'
