RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 4-Civil-
ian defense authorities termed Vir-

night generally successful, although
violations in some cities sent tell
tale shafts of light skyWard.
The test also was marred by at
least one fatality. William Robert
Cheatham, 19-year- old motorcycle
messenger for the OCD in Rich
mond, was fatally injured when
his machine struck the rear of a
standing streetcar, which was
blacked out.
The gasoline tank exploded and
caught fire. The youth died three
hours later in a hospital,
John j. Howard. State chief of
AFRAID precautions, said first re-
ports showed the blackout was very
successful.
The completeness of the surprise
was evidenced by the fact that
several hundred Roanoke afraid
wardens were caught congregated
at Hotel Roanoke when the sirens
sounded and had to scamper all
over the city to their posts of duty.
