times, making total of Is blasts.
All clear-three long blasts at
haf-second intervals repeated twice,

way to spread the warning with
the means at hand. it was stated.
Efforts will be made to arrange
for simultaneous blasts from fac
tory whistles, fire station sirens,
and any others which can be hooked
up directly to the switchboard at
fire alarm headquarters.
Yesterday fire department sources
indicated that a long blast lasting
more than a minute would be the

blasts the all clear AT the same
time. a still different code was pub

director of civilian defense. asked
Mr.. Friede to prepare a substitute
