8 bBIackout Lights
'OfficiaI' Because
Of Govt Mixup

There are now at least six black
out lights that have been recog-
nized by some government body as
being official, Sgt. Cliff Reed of
the California Highway Patrol told
members of the Kiwanis club at
their regular meeting Friday.
Answering questions after speak
ing on the California vehicle code,
Reed said that since Pearl Harbor
was attacked a half dozen or more
automobile blackout lights have
been designed, tested and approved
AS yet, no specifications have come
from Washington which would
make a single light the official one
for emergency cars during an air
raid or other needed time.
Soon after the question of black
out lights was broached early in
1912 a government committee was
set up to test and approve a light
that would be universally official,
Reed said. The committee divided
into five parts and each tested a
different lights which bear the
the one that should be used. The
committee members have never
come together to decide which one
should be accepted as the commit
tees choice so there are now five
dif brent lights which benr the
approval of committee members.
The California Highway Patrol
has also adopted a light which it
thinks should be used, making six
in all.
Harold Tyler, president, who
presided in place of President
George Kirk, helped lead the dis
cuSsion. J. z. Foss was the chair
man of the day.

BROADCASTERS FIGHT

The National Association of Broad
casters opened a New York office
and prepared for long battle with
the AIM, perhaps exceeding the
one broadcasters had with the Amer
lean Society of Composers, Authors
and Publishers
Neville Miller, president of the
NAB, had accused Petrillo of deny
ing the "right of the American peo-
pie to eniov the fruits of invention" :"
We're tho invention in this case"
Petrillo said.
Pctrillo estimated that his men,
bers receive $3,OO0OO0 year as
royalties from recordings. but that
they lose $lOO,OOO,O0O year because
of canned music.
OF the 300 radio stations in the
United States and Canada. $50 de-
pend on canned music for their

Thirty of the British bombers
failed to return to their bases and
one fighter was lost on patrol over

home to the German people the
tremendous power which will be put
behind the warming of Air Marshal
Sir Arthur T Harr that Germany
will be bombed until she can no
longer carry on the war. A few
German planes bombed Hull, in
England
One fact that encouraged specu-
lation of invasion was the emphasis
put ON Axis defense preparations
not only by the Berlin propaganda
mill but by the Nazi dominated
Vichy government. which banned
any demonstrations and was re-
ported considering the issuance of
an appeal in the name of Marshal
Henri Philippe Petain for the peo-
pie to remain calm" in any cir
cumstances. The Germans remem-
Der that they had to fight for two
days at st. Nazaire after the Brit

I don't feel the administration is
hostile to this program" Lee said
IT'S simply a matter of overcom-
ing bottlenecks. But I do think
maybe they're too cautious"
Undersecretary of War Robert P
Patterson disclosed that he also had
discussed with Kaiser the cargo
plane plan and that Kaiser was
hopeful he could obtain the neccs-
sary material for carrying out his
program. Patterson added that the

sarily rule out an increase i'm pro-

NELSON'S OKAY
The program, first advanced by
Henry j. Kaiser, west coast ship
builder, yesterday received the
tentative approval of WPB chief
Donald M. Nelson. Nelson said the
WPB has been keenly aware for
some time of the necessity for
more and bigger cargo planes and
promised that Kaiser will get plenty
of action if the plan proves feast

Kaiser's program, envisaging an
output of 5000 transport planes a
year from converted shipyards, has
been frowned upon by some produc-
ton officials who said a bottleneck
OF engines, propellers, instruments,
and critical raw materials would
seriously curtail it.

BaSsett said Aroff'S efforts to
speed Martin through the formalit-
les of enlistment we're not always
successful. Twice, he said. Aroff told
him to hurry up" Martins case.
The hurry-up efforts were success
full until Martins medical records
reached Cmdr E. H. Petri.
Commander Petri," BaSsett testi-
fled, said Tony Martins papers
would be made out in the medical
office in the normal way. and he
didn't care whether Martin was en-
listed that day or next"
BaSSett said that although Aroff
personally conducted Martin through
his physical examination and other
formalities. a pharmacists mate re-
fused to put Martin ahead of men
who had been waiting.
81 don't see why any one man
should be given preference over the
Others" Bassett quoted the mate as
saying. BasSett said Aroff wished
Martins medical papers made out in
Aroff's office instead of the recruit
ing station.
UNUSUAL PROCEDURE
After defense objections were over
ruled, Bassett said Aroff asked that
the space for signature of the officer
who handled the enlistment be left
blank.
Miss Lucille O'Hanion, clerk in
the procurement office, testified she
typed Martins application for an
enSign's commission Oct. "a. This
was an unusual procedure, she
said, because applicants customarily
were required to bring the applica-
tions already filled out.
The commission application was
rejected. and Martin later became
the first man in the 18th naval dis
trict to be enlisted in the new clas-
sification of chief specialist.
