raid precautions, warned yesterday
that Marylanders can expect sur
prise air-raid tests at any time.
Surprise tests and blackouts previ-
ously scheduled were postponed on
orders of the First Pursuit Com
mand until October S.
Col. Barrett said that Maryland
was one of the few States on the
Atlantic Coast line which had not
had surprise tests, and that they
might be expected in the near
future, at any hour of the day OF
night.
He added that he expected at
least one ~15-minute daytime test
and one Commute blackout this
month, both to come without warn
ing. Even State defense officials
will have no fore knowledge of the
tests, Col. Barrett said, since the
alerts and blackouts will be ordered
by the Pursuit Command, with head
quarters in Philadelphia.

ing to this contention, through a
situation they could not control.
There are, decidedly, two schools
of thought on how the District law
should be amended, though almost
unanimous agreement on the need
to revise tax regarded generally as
excessive and unnecessary.
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee reported today a
growing support among its members
for the experimenting plan.
