Germans Hit At Invasion
 Shipping

LONDON = Masses of allied in yasion vessels assembling in the harbors of western England were attacked by German bombers last night. Berlin dispatches by way of Stockholm said Nazi neutrals were continuing a guessing game began several weeks ago and said the in- vasion might be less than two weeks away. The dispatches said great quantities of Allied shipping had gathered in channel ports of South eastern England German authori- ties in Holland were reported pre- pairing to blast the great dykes which guard the entrance to the Zieder Zee to flood the huge area, including Rotterdam and Amster- dam. Britain's shores were closed today to all except most urgent outbound civilian travel under new regulations

Sentinel l. Established In New Home

So we moved The Sentinel. Chief Mover Bill Grant is again back to normal after suffering several near heart attacks while teetering a cumbersome press and delicate lin otype machine in some of the most precarious positions this editor has ever witnessed and lived. But to- day the equipment is placed, and better yet, working like a charm, thanks to some good workmen, in- eluding one top flight linotype machine.
 We learned about this business of free distribution" as pertains to a linotype in our moving. The book says it means free ia a carrier. Our free distribution turned out to be mats scattered from the old Sentinel office to the new one. In case you happen to run across a little brass gadget about an inch long with a Y in one end, it probably belongs to The Sentiners linotype. No re- ward offered but we're curiuus.
 And if our type is a little un- balanced today, think nothing of it. We're long on fonts-too long, we can't seem to find the right case. It's probably the one on the bottom. It always is, when you start nov ing.
 E The Sentinel also has accumulat- ed a fine assortment of other peo- ple's equipment. We've got most of Harry Ferguson's tools around here somewhere. Yeh, that's Bill Jan- kins' saw and hammer, and those rollers belong to Bih Grant, the cart to the Mccormack dock and maybe that's Ralph Deyenny's pliers. but we'll make him prove it. Those planks belong to somebody, and, say, aren't those John Olson's blocks? If we could only find that bunch Of Keys We borrowed from George Gunderson, things wouldn't be so bad. If you happen to find a bunch of keys ona ayBmaIf chain, it will be appreciated .i4f they are turned in, because they may belong to George .s.
 Happiest are we that the vener- able old Sentinel isn't missing an edition. After 42. years of continu- ous publication, we'd hate to be the guy who missed an edition. Thanks to some great workmen, who were just as anxious as We were to keep theF record straight, here's your. Sentinel for April 28, in the year of Our Lord one thous- and nine hundred and forty-four.

 Last week an interesting and highly amusing movie was shown to the pupils of Wrangell high and grade school. It was a feature length show entitled Its A Date, !" and starring Deanna Durbin, Wal ter Pigeon, Kay Francis, and Eu- gene Palette. A great deal of the scenery was laid in Hawaii and was veey beautiful and inspiring, as were the numerous selections sung by Deanna Durbin. The story of the movie concerned the life of those connected with opera and musical comedies, and so it was quite nat ural for Miss Durbin to be featured in the singing of several songs.

vofe in Nation

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. 7.
UP)-Gov. Thomas E. Dewey said
Saturday that he believed a larger
percentage of men in the armed
forces would vote in the presidential
election than the percentage of the
civilian population.
The governor said he believed 76
per cent of the soldiers from New
York State state would mark bal
lots in November and that reports
from governors from other sections
indicated similar trend.
The Republican standard bearer
declined to amplify the statement
because he anticipates dealing with
the subject more thoroughly in his
nationwide radio talk tonight.
On his arrival in Charleston
Dewey and his party motored
through crowded downtown streets
to the Daniel Boone hotel where he
will confer with political leaders
and representatives of various labor
and agriculture groups during the

WPB Head Denies
East IS Favored
In ReConvers;on
Says Coast Industries Will
Be Made Over in Even
Measure Under Program

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. (UP) -
War production chief j. A. Krug
said Saturday that west coast in
dustries are not being retarded in
reconversion to peace-time produc-
ton, but warned that plants making
the tools an dequipment to defeat
Japan must continue producing
those items.
Krug wrote Representative Cecil
r. King, Cd, California, who had
complained that the war production
board if made up of eastern indus
trialiStS, "unconcerned with the
west other than perhaps to hinder
its future development and thereby
prevent future competition"
CITES SET-UP
WPB is not a sectional board and
its personnel comes from "all over
the country Krug said, and I'VE
take a real interest in the recon-
version prospects of the west coast
and every other region"
After defeat of Germany, he said,
production cutbacks for the nation
Will dNCldSC dOOoO PCASSiio VI oiiS
August production, and reduction of
prime contracts in the Pacific coast
plants will run about 25 per cent.
Of the reconversion spot authori-
cations" allowed thus far, he ex-
planned, the west coast received 25
per cent cf the total number and 13
per cent of the dollar value.
EVERY PREPARATION"
"On the basis of the west coasts
share of American industry, the pro-
portionate allotment would have
been around seve nper cent" he
said. This, think, makes clear that
the west coast is not being retarded
in the reconversion process as COM
pared to the rest of the country"
Krug pointed out that many west
ern plants are producing B-29 and
B-32 bombers and combat loader
ships needed against Japanese and
that repair and maintenance of
ships used nthe Japanese war GEN.
ter on the west coast. These indus
tries and others making critical
items cannot be released, he said.
