New Cut Back
In Aluminum
Is Ordered
- WASHINGTON,. Aug. 2-(ff)-A
new cut back' in aluminum pro
duction, involving the closure of
two plants and curtailment of a
third, tonight followed a war pro
duction board announcement that
48 per cent of the entire 1944 arm-
- ament program was completed at
mid year.'.
The new paring of aluminum
output, which came within a week
after announced reductions in sub
marine, magnesium and aircraft
production,: was attributed by
WPB to "an increasing surplus" of
ingot aluminum. Other slashes in
aluminum production were made
earlier in the year. .) j
The three plants, all government-owned
but operated by the
Aluminum Company of America
(Alcoalfh are at Riverbank, Calif.,
. and Burlington, N. J., both going
out of production entirely, and
that at Los Angeles, trimmed by
one-third.
WPB said comparatively few
workers would be laid off an es
limated 300 at. Burlington, 130 at
Los Angeles and 275 at Riverbank'.
In each case, work opportunities
are plentiful nearby, WPB said. At
the same time, Alcoa notified WPB
it Is voluntarily closing one pro
" duction line" at Alcoa, Tenn., but
releasing no workers.. " '
The June production, report, re
leased by WPB Chairman Donald
I M. Nelson, was slanted two. ways:
,In general, it said,' a creditable ef
fort by industry put most of the
urgent programs "in schedule or
ahead;" on the other hand, big in
creases in military demand for
some land-fighting weapons and
Vehicles are not being met.'
Production was one per centjae
hind May's total and three .' per.
cent behind schedule a compara

Sailors Reminded
Of Home by Native
Mother -mid Babe
. ' ABOARD A COAST. . GUARD
MANNED ASSAULT TRANS
PORT AT SAIPAN -Cff)- Brought
t board for medical attention dur
ing the initial stages of the. as-
fault .on Saipan, a native-born 20-year-old
girl and her 10-day-old
son won the hearts of everyone
aboard. Both had brawny sailors
stumbling over one another to
wait on them.
Doctors were in a dilemma as
to how to feed the baby. A bar
rel-chested, tattooed cook sug
gested a can pf milk from his
galley. A pharmacist's mate tried
his hand at fashioning diapers.
Coast guardsmen stalked along on
tiptoe in their clumsy work shoes
and a marine guard was. posted
outside the stateroom to keep
away the curious, including the
ship's mascot, a small . black dog
named Skipper.
There was an air raid alert
shortly after the guests came
aboard. The ddg barked and the
baby cried. The mother "shushed"
him. Amidst the din of the clang
ing battle alarm a lanky bos'un's
mate turned to a companion and
wistfully remarked: : . ' f
"Just like home, ain't it?" "

War Correspondent Can't Find
Front Line in Guam Battle
... - i 1 1. ' ...
'"v- , By WILLIAM L. WORDEN :
Associated Press War Correspondent . f
AG AT TOWN, on Guam, July 22 -(Delayed) i(-The front
line is up here somewhere but it takes a better man than I am to
find it. - ' 1 i I
This town is a pile of rubble. It supposedly fell to our troops
late yesterday. I think it didbut I'm not sure. I f
A colonel told me that all Agat-has fallen and the troops are
fighting on the other side. He ought to know. But how can he
explain those nine marines a half
mile ahead on the outskirts, run
ning bent over and weaving like
swivel-hipped football halfbacks?
The second fellow I asked, a
young corporal, said:
Japa Over Else
"Oh, no. Nothing is safe up
there. The Japs are just over that
rise." "
He was talking about a point a
mile back of Agat. , 4i , ;
A marine -lieutenant told me it
was all right up to the bridge 100
yards ahead.- I'm - beginning . to
doubt him. I went ahead and there
wasn't any bridge. ;
A 37 mm. battery has added to
the definiteness. . One gun went
forward to back up battalion head
quarters, which a lieutenant said
he knew was 200 yards to the right
and . ahead. Other, guns went off
toward the rear because a lieu
tenant there .was' sure he'd air
ready come 'too far east toward
the line and might be past it .
Line Beyond Town?
The communications man in the
foxhole .with me the Japanese
considerately dug an especially
good one here said he knew the
line was beyond the town. His
partner just came feet first into
a hole from across the road. He
explained he ' was sick oi having
machine ; gun J bullets popping
around his legs while he stood up.
'-Some experts "claim the certain
way to tell where the front line
is located is' to keep going until
you see men running bent-over
behind youf Then you're on it ' ;
That - is ' very interesting right
now because there's a whole-platoon
of "men running bent over, 50
yards-behind us To the right two
men; are shooting -fapidly down
into a , pile of rocks "with a hole
under it Something is shooting
back. '
Stop Ronninr
" But up ahead those nine marines
have stopped . running now, are
standing straight up and giving
each .other ;-lights for cigarets.
