An unannounced daylight air.
raid test and an announced black
out will be staged in all of Maryland
except the Washington Metropolitan
Area, sometime between now and
December l, it was announced today
by Col Henry S. Barrett, State di-
rector of AFRAID services for Mary
land
This announcement directed at
tention to the fact> that the Dis
trict has not had an afraid test for
over a month, except for the train
ing of members of the civilian de-
fense protective services. These did
not affect the public generally.
However, District OCD officials
have announced these training ex-
ercises would be climaxed by public
air-raid test sometime during De-
cember This forthcoming test
planned to be "the nearest thing
possible" to an enemy attack, will be
unannounced.
Col. Barrett said the daylight test
for Maryland is to be comparatively
short and will not involve use of
simulated incidents although all
Maryland control centers are to be
fully manned and operating.
The Maryland official also said
that in the near future, probably
this month or early in December
longer daylight tests would be held
during which communities would be
permitted to use whatever simulated
incidents they may desire.
Col. Lemuel Bolles, director of the
District OCD. cautioned persons ir
the Metropolitan Area and those liv.
ing near the OCD Metropolitan
boundaries not to confuse the Mary.

ercises.
