leagues in the senate today that

"There was heavy fire from en
emy guns. There were, how
ever, no penetrations.
. "Our boys registered direct
hits on a number of German
tanks and the hits stopped
their, tanks. We have in the
General Grant a vehicle with
tout armor. It has a gun which
is not out-ranged by the enemy
and with which the enemy can
be-given a hard, stiff, destruc
tive - blowJ

Steel Scrap Will Crown
Bald Queen of the Yards
PORTLAND. July 13 tP) A
crown of steel scrap will j be
dropped lightly on the bald head
of Harry Goguen tomorrow.
With that he will be named
queen of the Albina Engine and
Machine Works, and shipyard
workers there will have passed
the latest milestone in a brief
but daffy career.
Curley, to give Goguen his
campaign name, was elected
beauty queen in a contest with
four other fearsome looking
characters, all employes of the
shipyard which has engaged in
unheard of Industrial antics
and boosted morale, war bond
sales and ship production there
by. The queen contest, for In
stance, raised $137,000 in war
bond funds.
The stipulation was that pur
chase ot a 10-cent war stamp
had to accompany each vote for
a candidate.- But workers took

More "Walking Wounded"
Arrive From Dutch Harbor
SEATTLE, July 13 T)
Bombing civilians has no demor
alizing effect; Instead "it seems
just to make them tarnation
mad," James G. Ryan, an elec
trician among the latest evac
uees from Dutch Harbor, Alaska,
told Interviewers today,
He based his opinion on ob
servations of the civilians who
underwent Japanese aerial
bombing at the far northern ba.ni
recently.
Ha brought back fragments of
an aerial bomb as a souvenir.
"Helps remind me I don't like
Japs," he added.
"I was up there (working for
a construction firm) 10 months,"
said Ryan, "I'm going back,"
Also typically American were
the reactions of Mrs. Kuthcrlne
Kashevarof and her sister, Mrs.
Edna Torgraniscn and tholr chil
dren all rendy to go back to the
Aleutians ns soon as Uncle Sam
will permit, even If it meant
going back to the hole In their
backyard whera they huddled
during the alerts.
. "It wasn't dug when the Japs
cama over. My husband dug It
after they loft," said Mrs. Kash
avarof. Ha made It four feet
deep, two feet wldo and six feet
long. It wasn't roomy, but It was
big enough, and it was sate, for
we covered it with a wooden
root and. hid It from tho Japs
with sod on the top."
SEATTLE, Juno 13 (A1) An
other group of "walking wound
ed" who went through the Japa
nese aerial bombing ot Dutch
Harbor recently have arrived In
Seattle bringing stories ot nar
row escapes from bombs which
burst within a few feet of them.
Pfc. Charles W. Reed of Dear
born, Mo., said a bomb struck the
small building he was In and
tore a crater eight feet deep six
feet from him.
"Tho explosion seemed to lift
the small building several feet
off the ground," he said. "I'm
lucky to be alive at all."
Another bomb lore a crater
right in front of a foxhole In
which Pvt. E. M. Brents of
Cleveland, Ark., was lying with
another soldier and a sailor.
. Brents said he and one of the
Others were struck by a shower
