Promises End
OF 'BIackouts'
Emereeney'Crew Tolls
All Night to Finish
; Alexandra Plant

The end Of blackouts such as the
one which last night left between
$1,000 and 10000 families in Alex
andria and Arlington and Fairfax
Counties cold, hungry and in dark
ness, was promised today by Virginia
Public Service Co. officials.
An emergency crew, after working
all night. expected to complete the
new power plant in Alexandria,
which will double the present cleo
trical output and prevent a repeti-
ton of last nights interruption of
service. which varied from few
moments to nearly five hours.
The new plant, which was started ,
last January, was scheduled to be
hooked up next week, adding $1,000
kilovolt amperes to the present
capacity of $4,000 kilovolt amperes,
James Hawkins, operations superin-
tendent for Northern Virginia, ex-
planned today.
BY working all night the plant
staff expects to have the new equip
ment hooked up by this afternoon
and before the peak load is reached
between and pm, he said.
Main Generator Fails.
Mr.. Hawkins explained, as he had
to hundreds of customers during
the power stoppage last night, that
the trouble was caused by the fall
ure OF one of the present plants
main generators, rendered useless
when one of the coils of the field
was burned out.
This failure, coming at about
$40 pm, just as the peak Of pro-
duction was approaching, overload
ed the Alexandria plants system
and automatically isolated it from
connecting systems for a brief
period. In order to provide light
and power for vital spots, such as
the Alexandria Hospital, Lorton
Reformatory, the United States
Navy torpedo plant, the Navy radio
station in Arlington and Fort Bel
voir, some portions Of the area had
to be cut of. AS these places were
supplied with power. homes in near
by areas received the benefit.
Meanwhile, householders were
swapping the plant with inquiries
and complaints. Calls to other
power plants in Virginia were dis
regarded, Mr.. Hawkins explained,
because they also were experiencing
their peak load. Not until more
than an hour after the first failure
could any emergency service be OBJ
tanned from outside.
/ Aid TrickIes In.
AS aid began to trickle in from
other plants in the interrelated sys-
TEN one section after another in
the company's territory was turned
on and home owners were able TO
find their way around without
candles and resume preparation Of
their dinners.
The system was not in complete
operation again until about 10:40,
Mr.. Hawkins said.
The new power plant will elm
mate possibility of a repetition Of
last nights inconvenience, Hr. Haw-
kins declared.
j. Maynard Magruder. chairman
of the Arlington Utilities Commits
sion, promised an investigation and
announced the power failure would
be brought before the commission
at its meeting next week.
The question of whether the local
company has adequate reserve lines
will be taken up at a meeting of
the Arlington County Civic Fedora
ton next Tuesday, President A. D.
Adams said
Both declared the service failure
should be investigated but refrained
from any comment on possible &C

EASTER

Ever since time began, the ques-

men, has been: IF man die, shall
he live again." The instructive hun
ger for immortality is universal. 1t
has created numerous forms of re-
ligion and erected temples and
shrines everywhere, many of them
shrouded in ignorance and super
stition.
We must decide to accept. one of
two alternatives. We can think OF
death as the end of all being, or, we
can face the experience through
which we must all pass, fortified by
the faith that death is merely a
gateway.
For those of the Christian faith.
Easter means more than flowers or
the coming of spring. For them,
Easter furnishes the only satisfying
answer to the human passion for
lire. It crowns their yearings with
an understanding faith in the re
