Production cuibacks
Begun as European
War Draws Near End
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
We day is at hand, so far Is cut
backs In war production are con-
cerned.
The long-awaited day may prove
to be "V-E month" or longer, de-
pending on the stubbornness Of the
Nazis' continued resistance. But
the end is so certain, the War Pro-
duction Board revealed in its
monthly munitions report, that the
Army and Air Forces already have
started curbing some armament
programs to the output needed for
Japan alone. And more cuts are
coming.
II Hitler's Reich dies the lingering
death now indicated, WPB said last
night, the shift from two-front to
one-front warfare may be made
without serious disruption in labor
or industry, since many Of the cut
backs will have been made before
the European victory finally Is pro-
claimed.
Some Shackles to Fall.
Chairman j. A. Krug, In . sep
arate statement, indicated that
some shackles soon would be struck
from civilian goods production. He
said WPB was prepared to make
appropriate" relaxations in its in
dustrial controls as plants, labor
and materials are released from
war work.
But he emphasized that mo re-
laxations of WPB controls will be
made that will jeopardize war pro-
duction."
Reconversion news thus over
shadowed major production vic
tory: Total munitions output in
March, WPB announced, surpassed
scheduled goals by six-tenths of l
per cent. This margin, while slight,
represents the first above-schedule
production ever recorded.
The report, prepared by Hiland
G. Batcheller, WPB chief of opera
tions, signaled March as a turning
point for another reason-from here
on, more cutbacks can be expected,
instead of constantly rising military
demands.
One-Front War Schedule.
The Army is canceling plant ex-
pansions which will not be needed
to defeat Japan alone and cannot be
finished by September. Mr.. Batchel-

Since victory in Europe now shapes
up as = "piece-by-piece conquest
Iof the German armies rather than
Z surrender Of the German nation, !"
Mr.. Batcheller said, no sudden drop
In military procurement may occur.
Instead, 1t IL now evident that
: by the time the fighting In
Europe stops, we may have taken
SO many successive bites out Of two
front war schedules that there will
be little change remaining to be
made"
Like Mr.. Krug, Mr.. Batcheller
cautioned against overoptimisna,
saying that reconyersion must be
limited by the continuing needs of
the military and war demands must
come first "as long as the news
papers are still printing casualty
lists"
Shortly after his report was made
public the Navy disclosed that Mr..

The armistice in World War came too soon. Any veteran who fought that conflict will say They regret that armstice they whose very lives probably were saved when the whistles shreked and the bells olled on Novmeber II, 1918, spreading the that the guns of war silenced- forever the peacelnakers said.

 They need not have feared when in recent weeks it became apparent that Germany was trying to crawl out of World War II After his return from the Rhine, when he turned aside in Commons ques- ton to whether Germany actually had sought peace terms, Winston Churchill virtually admitted that Ger many only recently had tried to get out again as she got out in 1918.
 From President Roosevelt down through the Am- through the British and-the good Lord only knows from Stalin down through the Russians, there has been one determination:
 This time Germany pays. She will make war no more"
 The bombers started it. They knocked out the Luftwaffe and they knocked the Reichs fountains of and they knocked down city after another until any building still standing could be accounted 1 almost a miracle.

Air Parcel Post
(New York Times

broad extension of the benefits of air express is proposed in bill creating airmail parcel post service which is before committee of the House of Representatives Exploratory shipments made by the airlines have already demonstrated that it is feasible to carry pershable products economically from farm to market in many areas Armail parcel post would carry such trade a step further by making possible fast movement of fresh vegetables fruits and specialized products in small quantities for long dis tances, from the smallest producer to the indi vdual customer This would materially expand the market, already growing for specialized products of the farm and garden marketed under brand names.
 Parcel post by air, in the reverse direction would enable the Smaltown dweer and the farmer to order gocd supplies and repair parts from far-away market centers and receive them within hours rather than days weeks. The shipment of seeds, small machin- cry parts specialized drugs, crop and orchard spray materials, and the like, would be expedited. Some 29 00000 persons living in LOGO towns and villages cn Rural Free Delivery mail routes would be the beneficiarieS of such new service One useful by product would be to still larger of an expanded commercial air fleet after the and the employment of the flying and ground personnel sary to operate it. There would appear to be every to authorize the extension of the benefits of armail to parcel post at the appropriate time.

ernment can properly determine the effect of these plants on employ ment,' Kaiser advised, they should be disposed of on terms which would give every operator fair opportunity to demonstrate his ability to use them for employment, and not to close them down"
 Kaiser also pointed out that the Surplus Property Act was SC crudely worded, the Surplus Prop erty Board didn't know how to in- terpret it.
 T have not been able to find out what the policy is under which these plants will be disposed of, !, he said. T don't know whether they will be disposed of for com petitive dollars or full employment. ,
 Kaiser then went on to recom- mend that the plants be leased or sold on a temporary basis to busi- nessmen who would attempt to em- ploy the maximum number of men in their plants. He suggested that the leases or sales be reviewed after six months or year, to de- termine whether the purchaser was getting as much gainful employ ment out of the plant as possible
 Committee Chairman Murray backed Kaisers plan, pointed out that we should take some risks in the reconstruction period to assure prosperity.
 We didn't hesitate to risk the loss of a tremendous amount of money in the quick conversion to war" Murray said, "and we ought

 Adverse aspects rule the early hours today. The configuration en- courages criticism and unrest among persons of narrow vision. HEART AND HOME
 Women should perform only rou- tine tasks today. Girls should avoid boredom by turning to hard work. These who are avid for romance may expect disappointment, as the signs seem to indicate that return ing soldiers will be wary of new responsibilities.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 There will be sporadic activity in the stock market. The speculative spirit will be prevalent. While fore sight and caution guide business leaders, individuals will ignore good advise. Warning is given against get-rich- quick schemes.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Again juvenile delinquency will appear to extend in cities small and large. Occultists foretell that causes will be traced to public dis regard of the subtle influences of certain types of publications and motion pictures to which boys and girls are exposed.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 United Nations decisions presage new hopes for the future. There are omens of secret propaganda aimed at the Big Three" by critical per- sons who oppose the United Nations political and economic policies for the future.

It was kept hush-hush, but U. $. officials had to move fast to pro- tect the big Nazi treasure found in the German salt mine by the Third Army Some British officials thought the gold should remain in Germany until the Allies could talk the matter over. However, U. s. State and Treasury officials moved rapidly, recommended that the U. S. remove all the gold and cur rency to Paris, thus frustrating any legalistic twaddle after Germany surrenders . Looted German art works were also found in the salt mine by the Third Army and will probably be stored in New York until the Allies find the original owners Cracked one State De- partment official when he learned of the Nazi loot: Hitler certainly was salting it away" So many German murder factories for mass killing have been discovered they no longer make headlines. Latest, however, is an electric crematorium at Camp Shuthof in Alsace, de- signed and constructed by a Swiss manufacturer . Some French men now propose that the Swiss firm be put on the War Criminal list .. Dynamic Senator Claude Pepper of Florida will soon start hearings on how small business can get into foreign trade. Pepper is chairman of a foreign trade subcommittee of the Small Busi- ness Committee.

 Shipbuilder Henry Kaiser gave some sage advice to Senator Jim Murray's Small Business Committee the other day on the disposal of war plants.
 Kaiser told the committee that the future use to which war plants are put will largely determine whether or not this country has full employment after the war.
 He pointed out that certain monopolistic businessmen are anxi- ous to buy some war plants merely for the purpose of closing them down, thus preventing their use by competitors after the war Then Kaiser dropped a bombshell.
