Meanwhile, District officials we're
going about the installation of addi-
tional electric sirens. More than 50.

ordered and perhaps a dozen have
been installed.
These won't be tested, In all prob
ability, until all are In place. They
will be operated simultaneously from

the screech of the scattered sirens
will overlap and blast Washington

Acoustical Difficulties.
Many cities which boast tall build
ings are experiencing accoustical
difficulties with electric sirens, 1t
was said. On the other hand, WASH

pensive.
