total given for the entire state of
Montana. No estimates are includ-

in areas known to be favorable to
the accum ulation of oil, but as yet

New pools and new producing

PLANES FROM MAKING
BOMBING RAIDS

LONDON, Oct. 7.-Following a
night entirely free from bomb at
tackS, this for the first time in
the last six weeks, Londoners
were again forced to "Scurry for
cover" when Nazi planes appear
ed in the skies overhead and
proceeded to drop more deStruc-
ton into their midst.
Terrific gales over the North
Sea and English channel last
night prevented both England
and Germany from making any
air attacks during most of yester-
day and all of last night
Royal Air Force was complete
ly grounded, dispatches from the
war office stated, and no raids
were planned today. The Raj
has done very little raiding dur
ing daylight hours, most of the
force being kept at home to con-
centrate on defending maneu-
Vers against the Nazi daylight
raiders. Almost all of the raids
on Germany and NaZi-controlled
lands have been conducted dur
ing night hours.
Berlin dispatches this morning
revealed that $4,000 Nazi soldiers
had marched into Rumania dur
ing the early hours of the morn
ing. The entrance of the German
soldiers is said to have been per-
mitted by Antonescue. the pre-
mier-dictatOr of that nation.
Purpose of the invasion
peaceful enough, to be Sure-was
to guard Rumanian oil wells and
armament factories against any
sabotage acts. RumorS have been
rife concerning danger to oil
well property and ornaments
works by RumanianS not in SYM
pathy with the governmental
lean towards the axis cause. II
was thought. too. that British
agents may have been active in
suggesting destruction of oil well
property.
