Four main roads leading to
Caen flow through this bottle

The navy announced that the
British assault around Esquay,
on the still-widening bridgehead
across the Odon river some five

It coincided with continued

The Venturas and Liberators,

Rear Admiral Ernest G. Small

WASHINGTON. June 30 (.T)
The biRgest month in naval build
ing historv and a ao per cni
jump in the "top urgency" pro
gram for heavy artillery were
achieved in May, the war produc
tion board reported Thursday.
Completion of navy ships
climbed no nn all-time high of,
more than 400,000 displacement
ions, or nearly 100,000 tons over
the previous peak of last Novem
ber Tho tnnnace outuut was
58 per cent higher than in April
and three per cent greater than
was called for in the May pro
duction schedule. Landing ves
sel deliveries reached a total of
198.000 tons more than 50 per
cent above the record set in
April.
Arms production generally
was one per cent behind sched
ule, but one per cent ahead of
April, the monthly munitions
communique disclosed. "Some
of the weapons most vital to the
invasion made a particularly
good showing; aircraft, landing
vessels, naval ships and heavy
artillery were all encouraging
features," it stated.
Some of the most Important
programs, including heavy trucks
and raaar, lauca to meet senca-
ules. however, mainly because
of manpo'ir shortages. The re
port cautioned against letdowns
due to over-confidence and
against "cutback jitters' fear
lest war joos are aooui to piay
out.
Production curtailments will
be relatively small in the im
mediate future, and will not alter
the fact. WPB asserted, that
"the total size ot the munitions
program is due to increase some
13 per cent during the next six
months."

ed States government to make
peace between Finland and
Russia.
Hull's note reflected the long
and persistant attitude of frlcmt
lilp .on the part ot the United
States toward Finland, saying
that "notwithstanding the esteem
in which the American people
have hold the people of Finland,
further relations between the

mid the government ot Finland
are now impossible."
Tho note, which was delivered
to Thosloft by George T. Suin

sized that the military operations
of Finland "have a direct bearing
on the success of the allied ef
fort" to defeat Germany.
The note opened with n quo
tation of the announcement made
by the Finnish government last
Tuesday in which it was slated
that German Foreign Minister
Von Ribbentrop had been in Hel
sinki and had given aviuranco of
full military aid to Finland and
that complete agreement hud
been reached between the Fin
nish government and tho Ger
man government.
"Tho Finnish government,"
said Hull's note, "has thus for
mally admitted to the world that
it has now entered a hard and
fast military partnership with
nail Germany irrevocable
throughout the war. for tho pur
pose ot fighting the allies ot tho
United States. In alliance with
tho enemies of tho United
Stoles."
