FORT BRAGG, Oct. ID. (UP)
Lights were turned off and traffic
halted for Al minutes last night
over an area of $4,000 square
miles while the U. S. Army
"blacked out" the countryside
against sham aerial attack by an
invading "black fleet"

villains in the area extinguished
street lights and electric signs and
pulled down shades in their houses
until TAG p. m. so the enemy"
could not see no land marks.
From dark streets and windows
and roof tops, thousands peered
upward through the night, strain

rens ceased their warning blasts.
only sound heard above low-tuned
radios was that of the planes fly
ing overhead, their pilots taking
bearings from the stars and COM
pass as they streaked toward their
objective, an airfield near here.
Quick but meagre reports from
the 800 warning stations gave de-
Tense headquarters the location
and number of the invaders and
their course.
Reports from the 1000 civilian
observers continued until radios
interrupted their program at 7:46
to announce: Citizens, you are
notified that the blackout period
is ended. Turn on your lights.
The blackout period is ended"
In scattered fields throughout
the area, small but agile pursuit
planes stood ready to head off the
faster, more powerful invaders,
awaiting an order from Fort
Bragg to roar into the sky and in
tercept the bombers before they
could reach their destination. At
the last minute, however. plans
were changed and the pursuit
planes remained on the ground.
Army officials announced after
the maneuver that it was a COM
plete success and although some
automobiles failed to extinguish
their lights only a few of the SO
towns were outlined by their head
lights. The bombers reached their
destination eight seconds ahead of
schedule and after landing return

CARGO LOADING HALTED ON ALL
 DEEP SEA SHIPS
Activity Stops in Seattle at Noon Over Small
 Dispute NO DISORDER AS
 MEN QUIT SLINGS
Future Action to Be De- termined at Meetings
 Held Late Today

SEATTLE, Jan. 5.-A dispute be- tween the Waterfront Employers As- sociation of Seattle and the Inter- national Longshoremens' and Ware housemens Union called a halt to all cargo activity on deep sea coastal and Alaska ships in the harbor at noon today.
 M G. Ringenberg, manager of the employers group, said the union had not replied to the ultimatum made last night and declared that no more longshoremen would be called for work on ships until the union gave satisfactory assurances of future compliance with our joint contract"
 No Alaska ship is in port, but the Yukon is due from the north late Friday night or Saturday morning and will be tied up unless the dis pute is settled by then
 Cause for Strike
 The employers insist that cargo may be transferred from ship to ship in one slingload handling when this method is necessary and con- venient."
 The longshoremen demand that the ships first transfer of cargo must be to the wharf before before it is put in another ship later. This method requires two slingload hand lings and employment of more men.
 Accusations
 Each side accuses the other with violating the agreement. Matt Mee- han, Coast Secretary of the ILWU called the tieup a sit down strike of the employers" He said the future action of the longshoremen may be determined at meetings later today
 The longshoremen worked all ships as usual this morning but walked off at noon when notified of the order to do so. There was no disturbance
 Closing of the port affected im- mediately seven deep sea ships, us- ing about 800 men to handle the cargo.
 Ringenberg said other ships will be affected as soon as they reach port.
