has been evident for months. 1t
was suggested, however that a can
vass of the neighborhood would
show householders already have
normal supplies of bandage and
similar materials on hand which
could be made use of In an air
raid. Improvising is also the by
word here-using old sheets, for in
stance, to make bandages. shaping
old boards into Splints.
Wardens and others with first-aid
training are expected to help medi-
cal personnel to apply splints and
congresses and fix bandages. Be-
fore the arrival of medical units
first -aiders would be useful to quiet
panic, prevent the injured from be-
ing moved, stop bleeding, and take
care of minor cases with the ma
terials on hand in the neighborhood
First aid equipment, to be pro-
vided to the emergency medical
service by o. c. D., will be placed
at the casualty stations set up at
strategic points throughout the city.
Units from the hospitals will pick
up the supplies at the stations and
set up first aid posts at the scene
of bombings. That process is esti-
mated to take from to Is min
utes, according to DR.. John Reed,
chief of emergency medical services
here.
Should Check Equipment.
The fire watcher should know
where he can have ready access to
the equipment for fire watchers.
Such equipment as the hand-oper-
ated pump, if they are distributed
here. should be kept not necessarily
at the sector post, but at a con-
venient location in the block for
which it is assigned
The fire watcher should find in
his community several buckets for
carrying water for the pump,
bucket or box for sand. long-handled
shovel or scoop and hand ak or
hatchet. A flashlight is part of the
fire watchers own equipment.
o. C. D. considers it the RESPONSE
bility of the individuals either to
have their own equipment for fight
ing incendiaries or to know where
they can get It, This would include
wooden boxes or pals containing dry
sand or dr. ashes. shovel and
either a stirrup pump or a means
of getting a hose to the top floor of
house.
Stirrup pumps are now in produc-
ton to be sold inexpensively. These
have been many times revised to
meet w. P. BIS changing standards
on critical materials but, it was be-
lieved, there would be no further
question about producing them in
large quantities. A satisfactory
plastic hose has just been approved
and specifications for it have been
released to manufacturers now 60
ing into production of stirrup pumps.
With the exception Of stirrup
pumps, the word has gone out to
work for the duration with the ma
terial at hand through improviSing
and community sharing.

LONDON, May 30-Squadrons Of
r. A. F. bombers taking advantage
of a full moon struck at the Ger
man war machine last night with
a strong attack on factories in a
Paris suburb, a smashing assault
on convoy apparently destined for
the Far Northern front and raids
on occupied ports.
In the most spirited raiding in
weeks, the Germans sent approx
mately so bombers against Eng
land, but authoritative reports said
slight damage was done and seven
raiders were shot down.
The British acknowledged losing
13 bombers.
Topping the attacks was heavy
raid on an important group of fac
tories at Gepnevilliers, 10 miles
from the heart Of Paris, where, the
Air Ministry said, the Gnome-
Rhone aero-engine works, the
former Goodrich rubber works and
other plants are being used by the
enemy to produce war materials.
80 Reported Killed.
Beyond saying a strong force of
heavy bombers raided Gennevilliers,
the Air Ministry gave no details of
the attack.
authorities in Vichy and Ber-
lin also were silent on whether
military objectives were hit, but
Vichy sources reported the
northwest suburbs of Paris
were bombed for two hours.
paris dispatches, by way of
Vichy, said 30 persons were killed
and 200 injured. and about 200
houses in one suburb alone
knocked down. The German
High Command said six British
planes were shot down, but later
Paris dispatches said only fiveD
The Air Ministry reported r. A. F.

Light on Longs Statue
Is Out for Duration

BATON ROUGE, La. May 30
The light is out for the image of
Huey Long, but only after a brisk
oral battle in the legislative halls
which the late Senator once DOM
mated so completely.
Each night for seven years a spot
light from the Goth floor of the sky
scraper capitol shone down on the
l0-foot bronze statue of 1.-The King
fsh" over his tomb on the capitol
grounds.
1t was cut of some time ago as
part of the wartime dimout, but ap-
parently the fact was not noticed
until newspaper reporter called
attention to it,
State Senator Ernest Clements,
an old Long man, promptly intro
duced a resolution demanding that
the light be turned on and kept on
except in total blackouts.
This stirred long-drawn and fiery
debate over the man and his meth
DDS, which ended only when the
resolution was beaten, 22-16.

He gave a final flip of the levers

That final stunt wasn't on the

his tanks strength.
The tank should have felt right
at home, because it was in sur
roundings of sand dunes, green
weeds, scrub pine and birch, which
might have been Cape Cod. The
mosquitoes zoomed around in the

Formal Orders Bar
New Defense Plants
Unless Essential
All Construction Must
Meet Requirements
Listed by War Units
By the Associated Press.

by tnS AsSOClateo fIeSS-
Top-ranking war agencies issued
formal instructions yesterday bar
ring construction of new war plants
unless such facilities are absolute
ly essential" and can meet new re-
Quirements.
The instructions, agreed on by
the Secretaries OF War and Navy
and w. P. B. Chairman Nelson, ap-
plies to all wartime construction,
both publicly and privately financed,
as well as to war plants.
'One of the main reasons for the
new policy Is that all critical mate
rials are needed for war production
now" w. P. B. announcement
said, "and no materials can be
spared for building facilities except
when they are absolutely necessary"
Requirements Listed.
"The policy means simply that, in
the light of existing shortages, it is
necessary to put materials and effort
into planes, ships, tanks and guns
now, rather than putting them into
plants which would not produce
fighting weapons until much later
date"
In addition, w. P. B. emphasized,
1t will be necessary to make fullest
use of all existing plant facilities
currently suitable or which can be
converted to required use
The seven requirements which
must be met before any war facility
will be approved for construction
are:
l. 1t is essential for the war effort.
2. Postponement of construction
would be detrimental to the war
effort
3. 1t is not practical to rent or
convert existing facilities for the
purpose.
All Possible Economies.
4. Construction will not result in
duplication or unnecessary expan-
sion Of existing plants or facilities
under construction or about to be
built.
5. All possible economies have
been made in the project, with all
non-essential parts and items
deleted.
6. The projects are of the simplest
possible type, merely sufficient to
meet minimum requirements.
7. Sufficient labor, public utilities,
transportation, raw materials, equip
ment and the like are available to
build and operate the plant.

. Appoint the six service chiefs
