LET-UP FEARED

(Rec. 11.15.) WASHINGT'ON, June 29. The American Chiefs-of-Staff have expressed concern lest Allied successes in France, Italy and Russia should spread the notion, that the people can throw up war jobs and return to civilian life. They pointed out that such an attitude would result in decreased production at this critical moment of the war.

(Rec. 1.5.) WASHINGTON, June 30. A warning against over-optimism on the home front, was received by President Roosevelt from Marshal King and General Arnold, says a White House statement. Marshal King and General Arnold pointed our that Allied forces in Europe were more than a match for the enemy, and we can look forward to a complete victory, but the( war is not yet won. There is still a tough fight, entailing heavy losses ahead.

The next six months will be the most critical production period the United States has ever faced, according to Jared Ingersoll, Chief of the Philadelphia Ordnance District. Many plants must re-tool and increase facilities to meet new ordnance contracts. Ingersoll added: General Eisenhower and 1 the High Command do not think the war will end soon, as the wishful thinking public believed.
