Blackout Test Here
 Most Successful Yet
Army Planes Circle Over City for General Observance;
 Whistles Cause of Some Confusion

"The best yet was the verdict of civilian defense off cias today as they studied reports of last nights test black out which lasted almost hour and was the longest yet held here With production plants blackng out for 1Oinute period the blackout the most complete yet held The local backout part of surprise statewide
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-12-08

Drama was added to the occasion as Army planes flew over the city to study the success of the black out. Several circled overhead until the all-clear sounded.
 Chief Air Raid Warden James J, Curtin described the test as "splen- did" and said that wardens and other defense volunteers, as well as householders and businessmen had done e fine job. He was making a study of wardens' reports of indi- vidual violations today.
 There was still some confusion over the signals, with many people apparently not yet aware that the first sounding of sirens and whistles means only the 'alert" and that the blackout does not start until the second warning signals. Also, again last night, confusion resulted from the blowing of some factory whistles in the middle of the test.
 The alert was sounded at 8:Sl D. m., and the test began at 8:47. The all-clear was sounded at 9:46.
 The length of the test brought home to many families the desira- bility of having a refuge room, from which no light can escape, where members of the family can read or listen to the radio during black outs. Few homes have yet set ur such rooms, though it was advo- cated months ago that this be done
 Blacking-out of factories in last nights test was asked by the State Defense Council. Tn previous tests some factories had not complied.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully, who wis., tied several sections of the city during the tests, said that the black out was "very successful.
 Statewide Test
 Hartford, Conn, Dec. 8.-(UP)- Connecticut went through a 58-min. ute practice blackout last night while Army planes drored overhead to test its efficiency.
 Gen. Sherman A. Miles, Com. mandant of the First Corps area and a staff of officers, views tht blackout at New Haven.
 It was the second state-widt blackout in Connecticut since tho war started.
 There was an unavoidable illum. ination at Ansonia. A major firt destroyed the Elks Building there during the height of the blackout.
 Many war plants throughout tht state blacked out for about l2 min- utes.

Credit Rules
frightened
Government Issues
New Regulations on
Charge Accounts and
lnstallment Buying.

Washington, May 6.-(AP)-Stiff
regulations controlling the INSTALL
ment purchases of nearly every ar
tlcle in common use in the American
nome were promulgated last night
by the federal reserve board which,
N addition, decreed that ordinary
charge accounts must be paid I'D
relatively quickly.
The charge account rules, first
ever issued governing this type Of
buying, provided that an article must
be paid for by inc 10th day Of the
second month following the pun
chase.
Effective at midnight last night,
the regulations were issued in COM
pllancc with President Roosevelt's
recent request that people pay off
their bills and stay out of debt as
much as possible. Hitherto, the pur-
chase on credit Of q score Of articles
had been regulated, but the new.
rules heightened the list to as elias
sIlications, and Stiffened the rcoulrc-
mentS.
New List.
The new list of restricted articles
Included all civilian clothing, kitchen
articles and dishes, linens. jcWclrv,
auto accessories and all electrica!
appliances, luggage, umbrellas, sports
equipments, used furniture and ward
goods, in addition to the score of
previously limited items such as fur
nltIre, radios, vacuum cleaners, BIZ
cycles and clocks.
The rules apply only to the 4G
listed types Of articles and no others.
They provide:
l.. Cash purchases-no restric-
lions.
,. Charge accounts-Must be paid
by the 10th day Of the second month
following purchase. but no down
payment required. For instance. a
listed article bought my day up to
the end Of this month must be paid
for by July 10. That date also is the
deadline for charged articles on the
list which were bought before to-
day.
3. Installment credit-4Any per-
SOL buying a listed item on the M
Stallment plan must pay one third
down and the balance in - months,
except that automobiles may be
bought one-third down and Is months
to Ply and furniture and pianos
one-fifth down and - months to
pay. Regardless of total price pay
mentS must be at least IS per month.
Previous rules usually allowed ID
months, permitted slightly smaller
down payments, and did not fix a
minimum monthly payment.
The rules tighten up conditions
under which cash loans up to $500
may be made by banks or other
lenders. The cash loan rules pro
vide:
|. If the loan is to be repaid in
a lump sum, il must be paid up IN
80 days. And if the loan is to be
used to buy a listed article the
amount of the loan must not be
more than the purchase price of the
article minus the down payment.
This type Of loan was not restricted
previously.

were smashing at the invaders OF
Malaga. An offset, however. was the
menance Of enemy submarines near
the Atlantic Coast. with belated con-
frmation by the Navy of the sinking
of tanker yesterday In waters adja-
cent to New York.
All in all, brokers said, the princi-
pal buying defect was due to the de-
sire OF many customers for side
line position over the coming week
end as precaution against untoward
international developments.
Tax worries continued as rally
