100000 War Workers
May Be Released in
Cutback on Planes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Army's 17OO0-plane cutback
in aircraft, largest single armament
slash since We day, may reduce the
Nations war bill by $500, 900 900
and release 100000 war workers by
the year end, highly placed officials
said yesterday.
In addition, they predicted that it
will put industry lover the hump
in supplies of aluminium and small
electric motors for new civilian
goods. The motors, of which each
heavy bomber requires more than
200, had been the most feared bottle
neck in resumed production of re-
frigerators, washing machines and
other consumer products.
Those War Production Board on
cials directly connected with recon-
version were highly elated They
were pleased, too, with the prospec-
tive release of quantity Of steel
which, though relatively small, will
be mostly of the persistently scarce
alloy type.
The manpower effect of the air
craft cut will vary from one pro-
duction center to another, and few
Of them had definite figures on the
final impact.
Aircraft production was figured
yesterday as having run recently at
$4,000, 900, 900 annual rate. 1t had
been cut before We day by some
$500, 100000. The new reduction,
it was estimated, will trim sched-
ules by another similar amount.
The figures, on both the recent pro-
duction rate and the effect Of the
cuts, were higher than had been
reported before.
The estimate Of $4,000 to be
dropped from plane factory jobs
this year covers both assembly
plants, engine and parts factories.
The rough estimate of 200, 900 lay
offs, made by War Manpower Com
mission officials Friday night. ap-
piled only to assembly plant workers
in the dozen cities directly affected.
The total cutback Of f7,000 planes
will extend over 18 months and will
drop the rate of airframe produc-
ton in the last half Of this year
to 10 per cent of that of the first
half. In the first half of 1916. it
will drop to so per cent and then
fall to s5 per cent in the second
half.

Truman Reported
Ready 10 Replace
and Hurley
By GARRETT d. HORNER,

Early replacement of American
ambassadors in two key posts-Lon-
don and Chungking-is expected In
diplomatic circles here.
1t is reported that John G. Wi
nant, Ambassador to Great Britain
since 194l, and Maj. Gen. Patrick
j. Hurley, present Ambassador to
China. will be permitted to resign
as soon as suitable successors can
be lined up.
William Phillips, veteran diplomat
with broad background in Far
Eastern as we'll as European affairs,
is mentioned as a possible new Am
bassador to China.
Hartman Post Secure.
President Truman is reported to
be anxious to strengthen American
representation in London and
Chungking, which are viewed along
with Moscow as key points in de-
velopment of an effective foreign
policy in the postwar period. 1t is
understood that w. Averell Harri-
man is slated to remain indefinitely
as Ambassador in Moscow.
For more than a year. Mr.. Winant
has been serving as United States
member of the European Advisory
Commission as we'll as envoy to the
British government. The FAC was
set up by the Big Three in London
to coordinate planning for the oc-
cupation of Germany. Completion
Of its work may be the signal for
Mr.. Winant's return from London.
Gen. Hurley's principal task as
Ambassador to China has been to
try to bring Chang Kai-shek's CEN
trail government and the Chinese
Communist forces in North China
together for unity of action in the
war against Japan. Observers now
believe that he has done about all
that can be done in that line, and is
about ready for another assignment.
Phillips Has Long Career.
Mr.. Phillips, now serving as a
special assistant to the Secretary
of State to help guide the conduct
of American foreign policy, while
many top officials of the State De-
partment are in San Francisco, be-
gan his long diplomatic career as
a secretary in the Embassy at
Peking in 1905. He later served as
chief of the Division of Far Eastern
Affairs in the State Department and
as the Assistant Secretary of State
with primary responsibility for
policy in that part of the world.
After serving twice as Undersec-
retary of State and as envoy to the
Netherlands, Canada, Belgium and
Italy. he acted during this war as
President Roosevelt's personal rep
resentative to India and as political
adviser to Gen. Eisenhower.
Chinese leaders are said to be
extremely well disposed toward MIR.
Phillips, especially since it was re-
ported that this mission to India
resulted in criticism of British policy
there.

Passenger Tire Quota
100000 in June;
D. {. Share Is 6,077

The OPA yesterday announced a
June ration quota Of 100000 pas
senger tires, an increase of Is per
cent from this month.
The 100000 increase will hep a
great DEAL" but falls considerably
short of meeting the needs OF all
motorists eligible for new tires, said
Rationing Chief Max Mccullough.
He added that back log of 500 900
to 100000 applications for castings,
low inventories, and a seasonal in
crease in tire failures combine to
make the June quota inadequate.
The 100000 ALLEGATION for June
is the first of that size since last
December. Military demands forced
cutback in civilian allotments at
that time, with monthly quotas
ranging subsequently from 1000 900
to 100000.
The May quota was set originally
at 100000 and was hiked so per
cent in mid-month as a result of
victory in Europe.
Washington motorists were allo-
Gated 6,077 car and motorcycle tires
for June. This is II per cent in
crease over May and the largest
allotment for the District since last
December.
OPA explained that Eastern cities
were issued larger June quotas be-
cause OF the planned increase in B
gasoline rations beginning June II.
The agency announced earlier last
week that the Beard ceiling was
being raised from 325 to $50 gallons
At the present time the East has Q
lower B-ration ceiling than otner
sections of the country.
Washington received $500 pas
senger and motorcycle tires in its
original May quota. To this was
added another 2,4O1 in a supple
mental ALLEGATION for May. The last
time a monthly quota went over
5000 was last December, the alloca-
tlon then was 6,173 tires.

Nenni Case Focuses
Attention on Political
Difficulties in Italy
BY the Associated Press.

ROME. May 26.-Italian political
tension increased sharply today as
the arrest and subsequent release
OF Pietro Nenni, Socialist leader
focused attention anew on Italian
Allied relations.
Nenni, who has been mentioned as
possible successor to Premier
Ivanoe Bonomi in the government
reorganization soon to take place,
was arrested at Vercelli by Ameri-
can 5th Army troops for addressing
a public gathering in violation of
Allied Military Government regu-
lations.
Allied Military Government head
quarters in Milan announced to-
night that Nenni had written a
letter apologizing for violating the
AMG's no-speaking rule and that
the incident was closed.
The American action evoked pro-
tests from Conservatives and Mon
archists as well as Socialists and
Communists, and Socialist party di-
rectors In a special meeting for
mally asked the Bonomi government
to seek from the Allies abolition
on these restrictions Ton speech
making in Northern italy, which
still obstruct the exercise of lib
erty."
Pledges Not to Speak.
Capt Enery w. Stone, chief of the
Allied Commission for Italy. con-
ferred with Bonomi and members
of his cabinet during the morning
and it was understood that he in
formed them Nenni would not be
brought before an AMG court at
Turin as previously announced. The
Socialist leader, however, will be
held to pledge not to violate the
embargo on political speeches in
AMG territory.
Socialist party directors tele-
graphed Nenni that Socialists of all
Italy raise proud protest against the
arrests OF one OF heads of anti
Fascism while so many of those re-
sponsible for the ruin of our coun-
try still can evade justice"
The Communist newspaper L'Un-
ita. observing that it was possible
Nenni was arrested for political
reasons, asserted lin this event we
reply openly that intimidating
maneuvers such as these will not
detract us from our course and that
the masses will know at the oppor-
tune moment how to make their
voices heard"
Cause Of Regret.
The Liberal conservative party
newspaper said Nenni's arrest was
"a cause of regret and concern above
all because of the present delicate
political situation" and the Mon
archist organ termed the case a
"regrettable incident"
The Socialist newspaper Avanti
asked: What are the limits of AL
lied control in Italy? = Doesn't t
it seem to the Allied governments
that the victorious insurrection of
the working masses of the north
and the end of the war remove every
justification and legitimacy for reg
ulations of this kind?
lis this for the Allies merely a
simple infraction of a police regu-
lation or do they intend to develop
it into a larger and graver ques-
tion?"
