Danzig, June 30, 1939. For the last few nights the two great shipyards here which normally work all night were closed under strict guard and all workmen evacuated from them. As from to-night Danzig and suburbs were to be blacked out until further notice and, in case of air raid alarm, all inhabitants were ordered to take refuge in their cellars or public shelters. This order was cancelled this afternoon. Two thousand men are working twenty-four hours a day in three shifts on construction of barracks at Matzkshuter to accommodate 10,000 men.
Work is stated to be well advanced.
