raging fire.
The was a race riot" at Broad
way avenue cafe, and two carloads
of auxiliary policemen were order
ed out. They found three seriously
injured men, and they loaded
them into a police squad car. That
was n double mistake
In the first place. the riot call
should have been turned over to
the state guard And in the second
place, the less seriously injured
should have been given first aid
and the only one not able to navi-
gate under his own Steam-he had
a broken leg-should have been sent
to the hospital in an ambulance.
SmootheSt working unit in the
entire mobilization was the Red
Cross, according to Fire Chief Reed,
who is chairman of the city defense
council.
QUICK ACTION
That organization was given the
task of ospitalizing, feeding and
Sheltering 300 Negro residents whose
homes had been utterly demolished.
1t took the Red Cross less than
80 minutes to obtain enough cots
and blankets, sufficient food, cloth
ing and medicine to care for the
victims.
The test had its comic moments
Once, call came through control
center that a drunken soldier was
sleeping it off" on the steps OF
the old Catholic church. That was
no war problem 1t was the real
Mccoy. The soldier was brought to
police headquarters. Oddly enough
when the all clear sounded, the SOL
dier got up and walked out.
Only traffic jam to occur was re-
ported by Officer Reed Cunning
ham. Just after the alarm sounded
Main street was cleared of traffic
almost. A small boy was found
squatting in the middle of the
street adjusting the chain on his
bicycle.
STATE GUARD PRAISED
Work of the state guard in rout-
ing 20 enemy parachute soldiers"
from the baseball stadium was
praised highly by the referees. The
paratroops had been landed by axis
transport plane, and had occupied
the ball yard They were picked
off one b. one by the guardsmen
shooting through knot holes.
Only victim" to really suffer was
Clifford Payson. He was supposed
to have lost a leg when his home
at 45l Sandalwood was bombed
The block warden found him lying
on the lawn, called nurse, who
happened to be Mrs. PaySon. The
