Plans for drastic reductions in the production of warplanes after the first of 1945 are being made by the war and navy departments and the war production board, it was understood today. Members of these agencies compose the air production board, which sets plane production quotas. Recent unconfirmed reports that heavy reductions are in immediate prospect were denied in Informed quarters, but it was said "considerable reductions are anticipated in the early part of 1945. Current production, set by the air production board, is between 8,000 and 9,000 planes a month. The board recently set schedules for June, July, and August at the same figure, and a responsible source said no appreciable change in this schedule is expected thru December.

However, when Java became hopples, a nucleus of 7th veterans was sert to southeast Asia.

After being chased out of Mandalay and Ran-pnn they proceeded to India, where the group was reorganized, and then trained in Karachi, India. On April 2. 1942, planes of the 7th marie their first attack on the Japs from India, a night raid on the Andaman Islands. Since then the 7th, new equipped with B-24 Liberators, has dropped 6.128 tons of bombs on the Japs in 3.521 sorties. It has hit rail yards, freight trains, air fields, enemy troops, docks and Jap headquarters.

Chicago ofhr-ers In the 7th include plants and their subsidiary contractors will be affected is not known, but it is believed the reductions will mean a slash of at least 25 per cent in the current production rate.

It is understood future emphasis will be on heavier types of planes, and the total weight of planes produced in 1945 may not be a true reflection of the decrease in numbers produced. Airplane makers view reconversion period with anxiety because of vast expansion of plants. Story on page 5 of part S.I Approximately 2a million persons are employed in aircraft production and if employment rolls should be reduced 25 per cent it would mean that approximately 600,000 persons would have to be placed in other work or made idle. Order Termed Forerunner. A navy department order Monday terminating its contract with the Brewster Aeronautical corporation for production of Corsair fighters at its plants at Long Island City, N.

and Johnsville, is considered a forerunner of the cuts to come. The original Brewster contract called for 1,500 planes, of which about half have been delivered. Construction of Corsairs at the Goodyear Aircraft corporation, plant in Akron, and the Chance Vought division of United Aircraft corporation at East Hartford, will be reduced, the navy said. Richard T. Frankensteen, vice Vichy Tells of Attack in Lwow Region.

LONDON, May 27 in a preliminary to a new offensive, Russian planes continue to hammer at German shipping in northern waters. Tonight's soviet war report announced the sinking of four more enemy transports in the gulfs of Riga and Finland. These actions, signalling the first movement of German convoys in weeks tho their destinations remained obscure coincided with a Berlin radio prediction that imminent soviet drives would include a major attack inthe Baltic. Vichy Tells of New Drive. Both the Russians and the Germans reported quiet along the long eastern front.

Their announcements came hours after Vichy broadcast a report that the Reds had started an offensive east of Lwow, breaking the lull prevailing there the last five weeks. The report was not confirmed. Moscow's bulletin reported an attempted raid by 70 German planes on an objective in the Gulf of Finland had been frustrated. Intercepting Russian planes shot down 11 Nazi bombers and nine fighters, Moscow reported, and the Germans dropped their bombs into the sea. Two Red planes were lost.

A midnight supplement to the war report told of local feeler skirmishes on various sectors, notably south of Tiraspol and southeast of Vitebsk. At the latter place, German infantry captured a soviet height, but was thrown off after 300 Germans were slain, the bulletin said. 30 rianes Bagged In Day. A total of 30 German planes were claimed destroyed by the Russians during Saturday's operations. The Germans' DNB commentator, Col.

Ernst von Hammer, said: "There are indications of the imminence of a big Russian offensive in the south. The soviet army of the lower Dnestr, as well as the Russian attack force north of Iasi Romania and those soviet formations standing east of Lwow in readiness for attack have been freshly reenforced."
