Capital 10 Have
4-Hour B|ackoui
This Week
Young to Reveal
Exuct Houro of
Test Later
Earlier BlackOut Story on
Page BID

A fOur-hour test blackout-
later this Week-exact date and
hour to be made public later, was
announced late today by Civilian
Defense Co-ordinator Young.
Commissioner Young refused to
announce the date pending the ap-
proval of military authorities who
must pass on any real or practice
blackout in the Metropolitan Area
At the same time, President
Roosevelt at his press conference
disclosed that he would send a let
ter to Acting Federal Works Ad-
ministrator Baird Snyder directing
him to exercise jurisdiction in
blackout matters over all Federal
buildings and non-Federal buildings
occupied by Government agencies.
F. w. A. Gets Authority.
The President thus gives the F. w.
A. authority to see that in cases
where continued operation is essen
tial in a blackout necessary pro-
visions are made for observation and
that all lights are out during black
outs in buildings where night work
can be eliminated.
The President plans to base his
letter on a letter he received from
o. c. D. Director James Lands
which he is having rewritten. He
indicated that copy of his letter
to Mr.. Snyder will go to civilian
defense officials who have been trou-
bled by the previous failure of Fed
eral buildings to be able to blackout
without turning out essential light
ing.
Plans for the next trial black
out were considered today shortly
after the Commissioners had
adopted new regula tions to require
that beginning March % all light
ing visible from the exterior of
buildings be blacked out nightly
for the duration of the war-unleSs
persons are posted to turn of the
lights Immediately upon receipt of
notice from poper authorities or
unless police offlcials are willing TO
certify that such lighting is neces-
sary and that suitable arrange
ments have been made to have them
put out on proper notice.
Bpm. to Midnight.
While the exact date could not be
announced, Commissioner Young
said the forthcoming blackout trial
probably would last four hours
probably from pm. to II pm, on
some night between now and Mon
lay night He said it proba bly, would
not be as early as Thursday night
since this would not be adequate
notice but it might be Friday night.
One of the main purposes. Co.
ordinator Young said, would be to
check up on what arrangements pri-
vate householders had made for
blackouts since the last test, which
was for a 10-hour nighttime dura-
tion. District officials have made
the point that merely to turn out
lights is no answer, since normal
living conditions, so far as possible,
should prevail during any and all
trial blackouts and that this can
be done best if lights are screened.

Should Be Taken
To Build Up Body
He Declares
By John C. HENRY.

President Roosevelt came to
the aid of wartime sports and
recreational activities today,
reading to his press conference
a prepared statement indorsing
such activities as necessary and
beneficial in promoting an over
all efficiency in the war effort
The Chief Executive emphasized
that his statement was not an in
dorsement of recreation as usual"
any more than he believes the coun-
try should continue on a business
as usual basis. Instead. he pointed
out that recreation should be ur-
dertaken solely for the purpose OF
building up body and mind to
greatest wartime effectiveness
Asked If individuals in essential
industries should take vacations,
Mr.. Roosevelt said he believed a
rule of reason should be applied

slightly from the Navy account.
He said his vessel was 3l2 miles
east of Barnegat lighthouse and 40
miles from Ambrose Eghtship when
the torpedo struck.
He said that all crew members
left the ship in boats, but the Navy
! account said some went overheard
trying to launch a boat.
None was injured severely. al
though all suffered from shock.
Capt Olsen said he spent three
hours looking for the other boats.
The blast, he said, caused the 96-
( foot foremast to catch fire. and
watchers from shore said it looked
like flaming signal for help.
''All I wish he said is that they
would put me aboard a Coast Guard
cutter so I could go out to sea and
hunt that sub that sank my ship"
