 black fleet" encampment, virtually trapped in Chesapeake Bay. The position of the latter was growing more "untenable" hourly, as squad rons of bombing and attack planes swept over their bases, moving down mythical men and bombing the- oretical airdromes.
 Night Raid Planned
 The final maneuver of the war games will be night raid on Farm ingdale, N. Y, few miles from here, beginning at 10:3O o'clock (EDT0 tonight and lasting half hour.
 The entire village will be "black- ed out" with air raid sirens, anti aircraft guns and searchlights add ing to the stimulation of war. The populace has been asked to CO., operate by abusing their house and automobile lights during the "black out" period.
 It is the first time any air raid drills have been carried out by a civilian population anywhere in the United States, and army experts are anxious to test the efficiency of emergency cooperation"
 Major General Frank M. Andrews headquarters staff has been secretive about the results of the war games, but it was indicated that the man. euvers demonstrated the ability of the CHG air force, operating with land based airplanes, to hold of an enemy fleet in an emergency.
 Promlem Conditions
 The U. s. fleet, under conditions of the problem, is supposed to be engaged in the Pacific with the third of a coalition of "black" powers two European and one ASistica"- while the army airman fight off the enemy from the Atlantic seaboard.
 The superior flying range of land- based bombers, coupled with the all-around superiority of the giant Boeing flying fortresses," supposed ly resulted in the destruction of seven out of 10 enemy aircraft car- riers, two battleshipS and one land- ing force on the Maine coast.
 Experts agreed that the new CHG air force showed tremendous im- provement over previous army man. euvers, although naval air man. euvers have usually proved more ef- fective and of wide scope than any undertaken by the army, due to su- perority in numbers of planes.
 The only real success" of the ir- vading forces-the establishment of 8 base at Norfolk, Va.-was entirely theoretical. including a theoretical defense. The headquarters staff, mapping the "war games," merely declared a seven-day period had elapsed during which the Chesa- peake Bay area had been seized. How It Was Determined
 The results of various engage ments were determined on Statis- tical bases of the number of planes involved, probability of hits and efficiency of the defending force in executing maneuvers. Most of the "enemy targets" consisted of chalk marks on the ground or aluminium "slicks" on the ocean.
 The outstanding feat of the maneuvers was the flight of three Boeing B-17 "fortresses" nearly 70 miles to sea on a reconnaissance mission to locate the "black fleet" which happened to be the liner Rex. The big four-motored bombers hit the Rex on "12 o'clock" in flying parlance means right on the nose"-circled the ship and flew back to shore without any serious mishapes.
 General Andrews said the feat proved satisfactorily" the useful ness of the giant bombers in over water expeditions off the coast.

 Tn its earlier experience the New Haven had experimented both with third rail and overhead wire dis tribution, but in 1907 when the City of New York forced all railroads entering the city to electrify the New Haven decided upon overhead wire. Up to that time, however, no installation of any magnitude had been made using that system. Sub- sequently, most of the large scale identification projects have used the overhead system.

 The principal source of power for the New Haven'S electrified zone is the company's large power plant situated at the mouth of the MianuS river at Cos Cob, Conn.
