HYDE PARK, N. Y, Nov. s.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the squire of
Hyde Park, cast his ballot today in
the old, white-frame town hall
where he has been voting for nearly
four decades.
The President, who identified
himself to the election board as q
farmer, was the 175th person to
enter the voting machine booth.
Mrs. Roosevelt was not on hand
as in past years. The Chief Execu-
tive asked the election board:
did my missuS' ballot get In IN
time from London?"
He was told it had not been fled
and remarked that he had sent 1t
over to her by q plane making the
Atlantic crossing after she had
missed receiving 1t in washington
by only a hours.
It turned out that Mrs. Roosevelt's
vote would not have been counted
anyway, since the Election Commit
tee had decided that 1t was not per-
Missile for her ballot from outside
the United States.
The President dropped In at the
town hall at ll:40 an. and spent
only 10 minutes going through the
formalities and bantering with the
election board.
Wearing . white shirt, black tie
and . green tweed suit which he
wears also On st. Patrick's Day, Mr..

One Killed as Rail Wreck
Iqnites Il Tank Cars
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
SAFE HARBOR, Pa, Nov. 3.-One
man was killed and 10000 gallons
of gasoline and fuel oil became an
inferno, visible for 20 miles, when a
Pennsylvania Railroad freight train
hit a rockslide just east of this Lam
caster County town early today.
A railroad spokesman said the VIC
tim was Marlin B. Frey of Millers-
town, Pa, fireman on the freight,
who either jumped or was thrown
from the locomotive as it over
turned. A high-tension wire fell
across his body, but whether it
caused his death was not known be-
cause his body was consumed IN
the fire. All other members of the
crew escaped unhurt.
More than half a mile of the
right of way was destroyed as the
locomotive, IL tank cars and four
box cars were derailed. The tank
cars, each containing 10000 gallons
of petroleum products, and three of
the box cars burst into flames.

Navy Employees
Will Move 10
20.
Pentagon Dec. |
Knox Accepts Space
Offered by Stimson
To Speed Decisions

The majority OF employees OF
the Navy Department will move
to the War Department Penta-
gon Building in Arlington by De-
cember /, Secretary Knox told
his press conference today.
In announcing the move, which
will affect the lives and working
habits of thousands, Secretary Knox
said the Navy had accepted the
most generous offer" of Secretary
of War Stimson to take over the
approximate equivalent of its pres
ent space.
The new arrangement will put
Secretary Knox "one floor above
Secretary Stimson with a private
elevator running between" the Navy
Secretary said.
The offices of Admiral Ernest j.
King, commander in chief Of the
fleet, will be one floor above that Of
Gen. George c. Marshall, Army Chief
of Staff.
Although the percentage Of naval
personnel to be moved has not yet
been decided on, Secretary Knox
said all bureau chiefs and opera
tional officers would be in the Penta-
gon Building and would have Offices
near the officer in the Army that
correspondent with the Navy posi-
ton. Secretary Knox emphasized
that this would make for quick
consultation.
Mr.. Knox said the Navy would take
over the entire third floor Of the
gigantic Pentagon Building, part Of
the second and part of the fifth.
When reporters asked him regard
ing transportation to and from the
building, Secretary Knox said there
would be ample buses, and that
there's wonderful system of new
roads over there that will hit you In
the eye" He added that there would
be parking space available.
AS test, Secretary Knox said, he
timed trip he made by automobile
between the Navy Building on Con-
stitution avenue and the Pentagon
Building, and said it took him but
minutes. D..
Capital Transit Co. officials also
said they would be able to provide
ample bus service to the Pentagon
Building.
I'VE have got the buses and
nearly month in which to arrange
schedules" said one official. Under
those circumstances we would be a
bad transportation system if we
failed to provide the necessary
service"
Matter of Arithmetic.
This same official pointed out
that the peak force contemplated
in the Pentagon Building was be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 and that
plans had been made by the COM
pany long ago to provide adequate
bus transportation for that number.
LAS I see it," he said, lit is simply
matter of arithmetic. If no more
than 10000 are assigned to work in
the building it doesn't make much
difference whether they are War or
Navy Department employees. In any
event, I have no doubt in the world
that the company will be able to
provide the necessary transporta-
ton"
The Army will move some Of its
personnel into the old Navy Build
ing and the Army transfer should
be completed in about two weeks.
Pressed for details of getting back
and forth between downtown Wash.
ington and the Arlington structure,
Secretary Knox explained again that
there would be buses and a tire
mendous area in which to park"

owners refuse to cooperate in

Persons occupying stationary pub
lie or private vehicles when an air
raid test or alarm sounds no longer
will be required to leave the vehicle
and seek shelter, under a formal
ruling adopted by the Commission
ers and announced today by Civilian
Defense Director Bolles.
This constitutes reversal Of poll
icy maintained here for many
months, which has caused consid-
cradle controversy during the more
recent blackout tests due to the lack
of designated places for sheltering
persons leaving buses, street cars,
taxicabs and private automobiles.
Announcement Of the change,
which was sent out to air -raid work
ers by Col. Bolles, for Civil Defense
Co-ordinator John Russell Young,
was coupled with strong recon-
mendation by the Board Of Com
missioners that such riders seek
shelter although they viii not be
forced to do so.
The new policy was adopted on
the advice Of Corporation Counsel

Allies Drive Japanese

GEN. MACARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Australia, Nov. g.
Allied troops recaptured the
Japanese base at Kokoda, inland
New Guinea, yesterday after a
gruelling drive over the Owen
Stanley Mountains and were
showing the japanese troops to-
ward their coastal base at Buna
today, after medium and heavy
Allied bombers drove off an
enemy convoy and set fire to a
transport attempting to ap-
proach Buna with reinforce
ments.
The recapture OF Kokoda high
lighted sharp turn in the fighting
in Southeastern New Guinea, where
the Japanese five weeks ago were
within 80 miles of Port Moresby, the
key Allied position on the island.
The Japanese, aware of the pre-
carious position of their troops, at
tempted to send two transports with
an estimated 1000 soldiers to Buna
to bolster their retreating forces, an
Allied communique said today.
Allied heavy bombers sighted the
transports escorted by a light cruis-
er, a destroyer and nine fighter
planes and attacked as the Japs
were attacking Buna. Many near
misses were scored in the first raid
and five japanese fighters were shot
down.
Medium bombers then attacked
yesterday afternoon and dropped
bombs which missed a transport
only narrowly. The convoy with
drew.
At twilight the bombers struck
again off the south coast of New
Britain and scored a direct hit on
one of the transports and near hits
on both. One transport was last
seen burning off Gasmata on the
south coast of New Britain, it
was stated officially.
The Japanese landed first at Buna
on July % and within two weeks
had advanced so miles across New
Guinea to Kokoda, small village
accommodating an airtield, rubber
plantation and number of build
ings and native huts.
Allied forces offered little resist
ance to the Japanese push in the
early stages. Backed by superior
forces, the japanese drove into the
8,OO0-foot Owen Stanley Mountains,
and by September Is they had
fought their way through "the gap
