allure; Army lix-Up Blamed

- Continued From Pace One - ^ least one case, automobiles were baited ;for 46 minutes although no blackout signal had been given. Locally, defense volunteers, after waiting lor the scheduled blackout for nearly two hours, went about their routine activities disregarding the impending test. When the signal finally •ounded, many were caught by Surprise. having thought that the drill had been cancelled Scurrying to their posts, volunteers in most areas quickly got the situation in hand and ordered houselights blacked out and traffic halted. Principal confusion locally was the lack of an audible all-clear signal. In New York, the Second Service Command of the Army characterized the incident as unfortunate. Army officials there said in a statement: “Through an unfortunate misunderstanding of signals there was a slip-up in the first test air raid drill and trial blackout ordered in the State of New Jer-

sey.

“It was not the fault of the New Jersey Civilian Defense authorities. It was just unfor-

tUBAte."

Tl}e first “blue" signal was originally set for 8:68 p.m. and the "red" signal for 9:04 -p.m. The “all-clear” was to have been

signalled at 9:29$i.

Actually, before the first sirens were heard the “all-clear" notice had been given by radio stations beamed at New Jersey listeners.

Earlier, Dreyfuss said:

“1 will not know until tomorrow when reports from all over the state are 'compiled whether i there was less confusion statewide in this blackout \han the first one held on February 18, under the Army's new rules. “I do know, however, that we have over 150,000 air raid war- -*—• in this state and I have had inal letters from hundreds of council chairmen and municipal officials, protesting the inadequacies of the all-clear signal and asking that I do some-

thing about it.

“I have for many weeks been urging the Army, who promulgated the rules, to clarify the method of notifying the defense forces on the all-clear. It is not fair to ask »n air raid warden, who is an important officer, to secure official information casualty from a householder. It puts him in the ridiculous position of having to depend upon the public when the public should be depending upon him. It does not make

for good organization.

“1 can only say that when we have had time to study the

1 results of this blackout, I will

renew my discussions with the officers of the First Army and Second Service Command.”

The vote against the Ruml plan was 16-.9, with the 9 affirmative votes being cast by Republican members of the Congressional committee Apparently, instead of an honest attempt to help the nation and its citizens in these times of crisis, the gentlemen in Washington are making a political issue of pay-as-you-go and making it a party fight. Pemaps the Democratic comk mittee members who so steadfastly oppose the Ruml plan, first and moat simplified of all pay-as-you-go schemes, are taking this position because of the strong opposition of the Treasury Departit to such a change.
