We Day Cut Backs Now
Underway, Trend Indicates

needed to defeat Japan alone and
can not be finished by Septem-
Der, Batcheller revealed; PLAN
ned peaks in small arms and ar
tillery ammunition have been
levelled off; proposed tank out
put has been cut one-third;; three
types of aircraft - Liberators,
Fortresses and P-38 fighters -
already have been put on one
front war schedule.
Since victory in Europe now
shapes up as a "piece-by- piece
conquest of the German armies,
rather than a surrender of the
German nation" Batcheller said
no sudden drop in military pro-
curement may occur.
Instead, it is now evident
that by the time the fight
ing in Europe stops, we may
have taken SO many successive
bites out of two-front war sched-
ules that there will be little
change remaining to be made"
Like Krug, Batcheller eau
toned against over-optimism:
Reconversion 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 casual
ty lists"
Shortly after his report was
made public the Navy disclosed
that Batcheller's son, Hiland G.,
Jr.. quartermaster second class,
had been killed in action in the
Asiatic theater April 26.

WASHINGTON, April 81 -
up - We Day is at hand, SO far
as cutbacks in war production
are concerned.
The long awaited day may
prove to-be "N-E- month" or
longer. however, depending on
the stubbornness Of the Nazis'
continued resistance.
But the end is so certain, The
War Production Board revealed
in its monthly munitions report,
that the army and air forces al
ready have started curbing some
armament programs to the out
put needed for Japan alone. And
more cuts are coming.

ering 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 cutbacks will
have been made before the Euro
pean victory finally Is proclaim
ed.
Chairman J. A. Krug In sep
arate statement indicated that
some shackles soon would be
struck from civilian goods pro-
duction. He said WPB was pre-
pared to make appropriate" re-
lations in its industrial controls
as plants, labor and materials
are released from war work.
But he emphasized that mo
relaxations of WPB controls will
be made that will jeopardize war
production"
Reconversion news thus over
Swallowed major production

In March, WPB announced, sur
passed scheduled goals by six
tenths of one per cent. This mar
gin, while slight, represents the
first above-schedule production
ever recorded.
The report, prepared by Hi
land c.. Batcheller, WPB chief of
operations, signalled March as a
turning point for another reason
- from here on, more cutbacks
can be expected. instead of con-
stantly rising military demands.

Book Lovers

When you get weary of civiliza-
tlon, a perfect escape is a re-read-
ing of Green Mansions" w. H.
HudSon's fabulous story of Rima,
the lovely bird-girl. who lived in a
tropical jungle. Published originally
in 1904, there's a new edition of
this classic out now, beautifully
/ illustrated in color by E. Mcknight
Kauffer, with introduction by John
GalSworthy. This edition, inciden-
tally, is being distributed by the
Book-of-theMonth Club to its
members as a ok-dividend.
Hudson'S preoccupation with the
charm of primitive existence is TO
some extent explained by his own
life. He was born in Argentina in
l841; his New England parents had
gone there to live because of his
fathers health, and the boys youth
was spent herding sheep on the
lonely and uninhabited pampas. 1t
was at that time he developed his
deep and abiding interest in exotic
animal and plant life.
At the age of twenty-nine, he left
South America to go to England
and become a British citizen. After
years of poverty the publication of
Green Mansions" drew critical
attention to his writings. But it
wasn't until 1915. seven years be-
fore his death, that he began to
receive wide acclaim. That was
when John Galsworthy wrote of
him, "Of all living authors-now
that Tolstoy is gone-I could least
dispense with w, H. Hudson"

James Among Parairoops
in Beseiued Bastoune

WITH THE 101ST AIRBORNE
DIVISION ON THE WESTERN
FRONT-Within two days after the
l01st Airborne Division pulled into
Bastogne shortly after the start of
the Battle of the Bulge, it was
completely sealed from outside help.
When the Germans demanded sur
render, acting division commander
Brigadier General Anthony c. Nc
Auliffe answered: "Nuts!"
The defense was to attack contin-
uouSly. At one point, the ammuni-
ton ration was IL rounds to a gun.
No planes were able to break thru
low ceiling to bring support and
supplies. There were too many
wounded for the needles to handle.
But seven days after the encir-
clement, the battle of the Bastogne
pocket ended. A corridor had been
established with our own troops.
The 101st Airborne had completed
another chapter in its historic
march through the battles of World
War II.
Members of the unit who partic-
ipated in Bastogne development
include Cpl. Gerald James, 628 God

Makes Maps for
InUasiOn. Army

WITH THE SIXTH ARMY ON
LUzON-Engaged in t highly
important work of providing maps
for Lieutenant General Walter
Krueger'S Sixth Army corps, TIA
George H. Merckling of 25O9 Eighth
street, is in the distribution Sec
ton of the 1879 Engineer Srvice
Detachment.
Progress made by advancing
troops largely depends upon the
adequacy and accuracy of maps.
Adopting the slogan Maps Are
Weapons" Sergeant Merckling'
unit turns out an astronomical
number of maps before our invasion
forces strike. But the work doesn't
stop with the initial landing, as
subsequent ground and air opera
tons rely heavily upon a continuous
flow OF up-to-the-minute maps. The
air arm needs them for its missions
the Infantry must know the ter
rain over which it is to move and
the artillery must have exact geo.
graphical locations to function
properly.
A graduate of the University of
Detroit. Sgt Merckling was an
architect with McGrath and DOH
men of Detroit uybeo he e,1tarad
the Army May 1912. He came over
seas in October of last year and
was stationed at Leyte prior to
making the LuZon landing.
