OCD at Dead End After WPB Burs
Prorities for Type Specified by Army

Between the Army and the War
Production Board the possibilities
that civilian emergency vehi-
cles will get approved lighting to
allow them to proceed during black
outs appeared remote today.
The War Department, through its
Engineer Board at Fort Belvoir, Va,
developed a set of blackout lamps
several months ago.
The Office of Civilian Defense
hoped to get enough of them to
provide for emergency and essential
vehicles, such as those engaged in
transportation, but the War Produc-
ton Board has refused to grant the
priorities.
OCD at Dead End.
With the chances of getting this
type for civilian use no better than
they were some time ago, OCD would
like to develop substitute, but
there it arrives at dead end.
The Army has specified that only
the blackout equipment it has ap-
proved can be allowed during a
blackout, which means that the
Army could order off the street the
emergency vehicles bearing the sub
stitutes worked out by OCD.
OCD admits there are problems
involved in working out substi-
tute. If all the cars on the street
had been manufactured since 1910
when driving lights were standard
lied, the problem would be nothing
at all, but pre-1940 cars amount
to about 80 per cent of those on
the road and all of them have diff
ferent shapes and designs.

however, that if the Army didn't
enter the picture, substitute could
be designed and approved.
Locally, the Commissioners have
appointed committee to study the
chances of a substitute for the
priority-banned lamps, which, in
cidentally, cost about $40 per set
to install.
Blackouts during which streets
have been well Illuminated by the
10000 vehicles allowed emergency
Identification to travel during drills
have shown the need to work out
some solution. The Districts new
blackout regulations provide that
only vehicles equipped with ap-
proved blackout lighting can travel
during blackouts but so far this
phase of the regulations necessarily
has been ignored.
Cut in Stickers Seen.
1t was indicated at post-mortem
on the last blackout, however, that
steps would be taken to cut down
the number of cars with emergency
StickerS.
On that score, national OCD rec
commended that only 2 per cent of
the total vehicle registration be al
lowed to move during blackouts-
which would cut the local blackout
traffic from 10000 to 1000 cars.
In lieu of a substitute for the ap-
proved lamps, OCD can only recon-
mend that cars travel with their
parking lights or low beam head
lights-both of which OCD spokes-
men readily admit are no substitute
for the unattainable approved
! product.

Maryland May Ban
Fire Sirens 10 Avoid
|Air-Raid Confusion
Bells Moy Be Used;
Two Baltimore Incidents
Leud to Discussion

Use OF sirens by fire engines re-
spending to alarms may be banned
shortly in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, it was indicated
today, to eliminate confusion with
air-raid warnings.
A request for the restriction of
all fire sirens in Maryland, except
those in the civilian defense sys-
TENS, was made yesterday by Col.
Henry s. Barrett, State director of
afraid precautions. He asked that
all fire departments be ordered to
use only bells when responding to
alarms.
The action followed the "false
alarm" in Baltimore County Satur-
day when several hundred air-raid
wardens confused the sound of fire
sirens with the AFRAID alarm and
reported for duty. It was the second
such incident in recent months.
A sector warden in the area af-
fected declared yesterday many
civilian defense workers had threat
ened to resign unless something were
done about fire sirens.
Chief James w. just, State fire
co-ordinator, said today he will con-
fer with Col. Barrett.
IT think the plan is feasible,
Chief just said. Bells have just
as good carrying power as sirens,
although, they may slow down fire
equipment little"
He emphasized, however, that
volunteer flrehouses would not be
affected, since they would have to
continue using their sirens to sum-
mon firemen to their posts.
He added that such a move has
been considered for some time, but
that nothing has been done. There
has never been any confusion in
Montgomery or Prince Georges
Counties over the use of sirens in
fire alarms, he said.
The chances are" he continued
that we'll substitute bells for sirens
In the near future. Chicago has
had such q system in effect for
some time and it has proved salts

Judge Albert E. Brault and ],
Robert Sherwood, civilian defense
directors in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, respectively,
could not be reached for comment.
