The Dailv Press prlnted 8,100 copies far edition and the Times-Herald ran 4,500 copies more than its usual run.

This was done in the face of a severe limitation on newsprint Imposed on the newspapers with not allowance being made by the government for special occasions such as the invasion. In Itself tha atory of how the Dally Press "covered" the invasion Is an Interesting one. Shortly after 1:30 yesterday morning the first flash came through that the Germans had announced the invasion. The entire force on hand at the time Immediately went "on the alert" waiting for additional news. None was forthcoming for more than two hours when the Allied command announced that the Invasion was in progress.

As soon as this announcement came through a skelton staff In the editorial room immediately went Into action to line up the extra. Bulletins from the Associated Press teletype machines were torn off by one person, handed to the city editor or headline writer; edited carefully although swiftly, given a headline and rushed to the waiting Linotype machines. This procedure continued until finally all eight pages of the extra adltion were filled. With the exception of a few Inches the entire extra edition was filled with invasion news.

(Fy A vast hidden army, menacing Hitler's legions in the occupied countries with potenial phantom-like stabs from all directions, received Its Invasion instructions today to wait, but be ready to do its part at the appointed signal. The Germans know these people thirst for revenge. On all sides, the German-controlled radios in France bombarded the underground with Wheedling and threats and antl-Allted propaganda, hoping to confuse them or deter them from their grim, solemn purpose.

But the time Is not quite ripe. The underground army will know HOLY HOUR AT ST.

A feature of the edition which attracted especial attention was the presence of wire photos depicting scenes on the invasion coast. Flashed over transatlantic cables to New York, thence on leased wires to the Daily Press, the photos were reproduced in the wire photo room here, and translated into engravings for ultimate publication. A definite deadline was set for the time The Daily Press was to "hit the street" with its extra and the last work of all concerned beat this deadline by 35 minutes. Plates were kept on the press to supply all demands for copies, regardless of newsprint restrictions, and the Times Herald similarly took precautions to insure that everyone received a copy.j The paper was literally "torn apart" several times for the invasion. It was "made over" for the report by the Germans and then remade for the official announcement This, was accomplished without loss of time while in the meantime countless operations were under way getting out the extra.

A radio was turned on In the DP office and for the most part the Associated Press was ahead of the radio in its news bulletins.
