New Alarms Perfect
B|ackout Plans for
San Francisco Area
Tests Are Made After
City Is Rebuked for
Defying First Orders
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10.-Two
air raid alarms early today plunged
San Francisco into a blackout
almost 100 per cent effective.
The alarms were accompanied by
reports that half dozen flares had
been dropped over the city, presum-
ably from enemy planes.
The Army Interceptor Command,
! silent as to the cause of the alerts,
said no information was available
concerning the flares, but added IL
| was unlikely they had been dropped
from United States planes.
Army planes took to the skies at
the first warning-a yellow alert
indicating the presence of "uniden-
titled" planes in the area. This was
about las am. Five minutes later
the all-clear signal was sounded.
Then, at 2:15 am, came second
alert; this time blue signal, signi-
flying the approach of enemy planes
| For slightly more than an hour the
alarm continued, then sirens sound
ed an all-clear.

and other Bay area cities and Sac

commanding general of the 4tf

Maj. Gen. Jacob E. Fickel. COM

Force, warned that while there is
certainly no cause for panic,
civilians as we'll as the military
must remain alert to the possibility
of danger and the necessity for
emergency measures to combat it."
The defense machinery is not yet
perfect, he said, but it will improve
and civilians again will demon
strate the traditional spirit of free
American citizens to subordinate in
dividual interests in the face OF a
common danger"
Broadcasts Resumed.
Pacific Coast radio stations re-
sumed broadcasting after nearly IL
hours of silence during which Army
and Navy planes and naval surface
craft were reported TO have searched
off the coast for possible japanese
airplane carriers and submarines.
The exact extent of the search was
military secret. Enemy airplane
carriers have been variously re-
ported off the Alaskan, North Pacific
and California Coasts.
| In disclosing that patrols from
| the I'd Interceptor Command had
taken off from Portland, Greg, to
criss-cross the ocean for 900 miles
from the shore, Brig. Gen. Carlyle
H. Wash warned that the "p0sSibil-
ity of an air attack is still present"
Angered by persistent rumors that
the first blackout was "all hoax,
and by the attitude of skepticism on
the part of some citizens, Gen. De
Witt said:
Japanese planes were over this
community. They were tracked and
followed to sea.
II am not telling you I can pre-
vent bombs or air raids on this city

when they do arrive, we will be in
