READY FOR DRIVES

The wspaper says Soviet
forces are ready for drives in the
Kuban and Leningrad sectors, the
Germans are massing for an all
out drive on Moscow. and that the
Allied bombing of Italy suggests
preparation for an invasion by
Allied forces. %
Radio Rome added that Allied
invasion craft were massing at
Bizerte, Sousse, Tunis, Sfax, Bone
and elsewhere on the North Afri-
can coast and insisted to italian
listeners that Germany would not
let the Fascists down when the
crisis came.
High German army officers were
reported inspecting defenses In
Greece and dispatches from Swe-
den said Large towns in Sicily
have been almost entirely evac-
uated except by firemen and shock
troops as result of growing
Allied air attacks.

BLOCK NAZI DEFENSE

The three-way smash was pre-
coded by violent blows from Brit
ish bombers on the big Caen and
Maupertus airdromes in north
western France.
These raids apparently were de-
signed TO wreck takeoff facilities
and engage as many as possible OF

mally hop from the two airfields

by the American heavy bombers.
The pre-invasion air campaign
stayed closer to home through
Friday night. with weather condi-
tions temporarily interrupting
long-range hastings of industrial
strongholds in Germany.
But the night saw Raj bombers

The talk of impending invasion
on the part of the Axis broadcast
ers was followed by London press
suggestions along the same line,
especially in the News-C Chronicle.
The newspaper said all details for
invasion had been worked out by
the Allies, that British warshjps
already have taken up strategic
positions and that the invasion will
involve "the greatest naval opera
ton in history"
The Sunday Dispatch is carrying

there was little change in the sur

with good regard for whole notes,
and with excellent attack on their
last number, the Haitian carol.

Appointme lent of Norman c.
Shines. we'll known consulting min
ing engineer. as area representa-
live of The War Production Board
for Alaska, has been announced at
Seattle by George K. Comstock, re-
gional WPB director.
Shines is well acquainted with
Alaska and its problems, having
engineered several large mining
projects in the territory, and lived
there for many years He is at
present in the Regional office at
Seattle, familiarizing himself with
WPB procedures and regulations
and expects to open a WPB office
in Juneau shortly after the first of
the year
Distance and the difficulties of
wartime transportation have work
ed a great hardship on Alaska,
Comstock said in announcing the
appointment. Weeks and months
have been spent in processing forms
that should normally take only a
few days, thus causing delays that
sonae1inaes were costly
Much Time Saved
With the opening of Territorial
offices under Mr. Shines, we hope
to save as much as three to six
weeks in many cases. One big say
ingst will be in eliminating improp-
erly filled out forms. Applications
have been received by WPB in
Washington. D. c.. without sigma
lures and without much essential
information. These have had to be
returned. The Alaska office will
work out procedures to assist III
eliminating this"
THE office will also review any
applications made to it and change
unnecessary requests submitted be-
cause OF misunderstanding of reg
ulations.
Comstock explained that as the
nation reached its peak of war pro-
duCtlon, more and more attention
was being given to the civilian
needs by WPB.
Civilian Requirements
Besides assisting in presenting
priority and production problems,
MIR. Shines will also report to WPB
on civilian requirements which is
the first step in meeting shortages
caused by war Comstock added.
He will also keep Alaskans in
formed on the various relaxations
Of war regulations. Strict priority
and limitation orders were clamped
down upon the civilian economy
shortly after Pearl Harbor in order
TO conserve critical materials and
direct the entire resources of the
country to war production. These
are now being relaxed by WPB. For
example copper and critical mater
ials are available for the repair of
household, farm and industrial ma
chinery without priorities. In many
