MOVED TO SAFETY
SOVIET WAR FACTORIES LONDON, January 5. Entire munition factories have been transplanted from. Moscow. Leningrad, Kiev and Kharkov, to an area far from the front, where in some instances they are , already more than fulfilling production plans. I have just inspected one factory which was ordered to leave Kiev, reports an Associated Press correspondent in Russia. Within three days workers and machines were being moved by rail deep into Russia. Work was resumed on the new site in a few weeks, and production for the first month was estimated at 107 per cent of the output planned. The next month’s output was nearly twice as much as the factory achieved in Kiev.
