Dim-Out Rules Tightened For Coastal Areas — Continued From Page One —

Monmouth, Middlesex, Union, fissex, Hudson Counties and parts -of Bergen, Passaic and Burlington ‘Counties. Other regulations prohibit the use of high beam headlights and prescribe that the upper part of the lens be blacked out.. All lights visible from the sea must be extinguished or obscured; light from store windows and other establishments must not exceed twofoot candles at a three-loot dis-

tance.

Dim-out regulations will be force from one-half hour after sundown until one-hall hour before sunrise between October 1 and April SC, inclusive, and from one hour after sundown until onehalf hour before sunrise between May 1 and September 30. General Terry pointed out that the Second Service Command, under authority delegated to it by the Commanding General of the Blastern Defense Command, operating with the Commai the United . States Fleet as well as with members of the Engineers’ Board from Washington in an exhaustive study of skyglow and methods for its reduction. Aerial reconnaissance, it is indicated, will be regularly employed as a check on skyglow. General Terry expressed appreciation of the cooperation of the Governors of New York, New Jersey and Delaware and other officials and law enforcement authorities in the seacoast zone. "In considerable measure, progress made thus far is due to their increasing efforts,'’ General Terry said. He added, however, that while in general this progress is gratifying, much remains to be accomplished. “The residents, businessmen and industrialists in the affected area," continued the General, “must realise that the regulations governing the control of artificial lighting in the coastal dimout sections of New York, New Jersey and Delaware are here to stay for the duration of the war. "Dim-out regulations are inconvenient. However, they are essential to the preservation of human lives, the protection of vital war cargoes and coastal shipping. Therefore, they are going to be enforced, and 1 feel confident that every sensible and patriotic individual in the seacoast areas will continue to cooperate. "It is significant that the Commander in Chief of the United States Fleet attaches increasing importance to the Army’s dim-out program. In dose conjunction with the Navy, we are making exhaustive study of skygldw s methods for its reduction. A cooperating are members of the Engineers’ Board from Washington and, in connection with this btudy, it is expected that aerial reconnaissance will be regularly employed as a check. “The changes contained in the new dim-out regulations, - ’ concluded General Terry, “are based on the results of our experience of the past six months, on the studies made by civilian lighting engineers, experts on public utilities staffs and Army officials, all of whom have .been working together splendidly on this problem. “Although, while drawing up these regulations, the Army constantly kept in mind the inconvenience which dim-out imposes on the public, it has based its final decisions on the requirements of public and military ser curity—requirements which • in time of war must receive first consideration. “I appeal to the people of New York, New Jersey and Delaware, in the coastal dim-out area to cbofierate to the fullest with the police, all other enforcement authorities, the Office of Civilian Defense and the Army in our mutual effort to insure complete observance of the new rules. Effective continuance of our war effort as weli as our personal safety depend upon the public's full compliance with dim-out regulations. ‘Such compliance, therefore, becomes the duty of every person in the ares-" Proven Violators of the dim-out regulations are liable to severe penalties, Army authorities pointed out. The federal law provides a penalty of a fine not to exceed $6:000, or imprisonment for not more than one year or both, for each offense. Immediate exclusion from the Eastern Military Area faces violators of the regulation and if. the offender is an enemy alien - he is subject to apprehension and internment.
