Anti-aircraft fire was intense,

More raids such as the British

SLASH CONTRACTS
By sANDoR S. KLEIN
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-WD-
Further slashes in war contracts
to clear the decks for industrial
| reconversion were in prospect to-
day with the Navy getting ready
to trim aircraft orders by as much
as 81, 100000, 900.
The War department was pre-
pared. too, for wholesale cancel
lation of contracts as soon as w
day is proclaimed.
I other government agencies were
geared to place their reconversion
programs into action. A War Pro-
duction Board official said that II
the japanese surrender becomes
official within week, it might be
possible to produce as many as
$50, 900 new automobiles by the
end OF the year.
The previously authorized quota
for this year, was $50, 900. The Of
fetal said a quick end OF the war
would eliminate the sheet steel
shortage, principal obstacle to in
creased auto output.
Orders for cancellation Of Navy
aircraft contracts are ready and
probably will 60 out this week.
Under present plans, which are
subject to downward revision, the
Navy intends to retain approx
mately $1,25O, 900, 900 of its present
plane contracts. The remaining
cover experimental type planes,
aircraft in the very final stages
of construction and planes which
will be needed for the postwar
fleet
Late last week, after the Japa-
nese offered to surrender, the
Army and Navy ordered contract
cancellations aggregating nearly
81, 600, 900, 900. OF these, $1,000, 600,
, 600 were Navy ship contracts.
S Within the next two or three
. weeks, both armed services are
t expected to order cuts in contracts

replied that this friendship must
