District and Potomac Electric
Power Co. engineers today studied
the system demonstrated yesterday
to black out Washington street
lights in matter OF seconds.
The demonstration, which attract
ed ranking District and Pepco Off
cials yesterday, was followed by a
request from Commissioner John
Russell Young for a report as soon
as possible. 1t was estimated that
if accepted the apparatus would take
three months to install.
Developed by two refugee engi-
neers, one French, the other Aus
| trian, the apparatus calls for one
transmitter and as many receivers
as are necessary to control all city
street lighting
While officials were told that the
simplest method of controlling
street lighting was to bring pilot
wires back to the power substations
from the light circuits, it was point
ed out that that system was not only
expensive but virtually banned be-
cause of critical materials.
Other System Uses Plastics.
The inventors, Paul Lazard and
DR.. Robert Rudin. insisted that the
apparatus they demonstrated would
require very little critical material
that plastics would replace steel
and that the entire system would
not call for more than $50 pounds
of copper.
They also pointed out that theii
apparatus uses existing lines. super
imposing a special current over the
same lines, but in no way inter-
fering with the power. Any mum
Der Of different signals could be
sent from the central transmitter
including signal to operate the
mechanism extinguishing street
lights, another one to turn them
on, a third to actuate the air raid
warning sirens and another to give
the all clear, Mr.. Lazard said, The
officials. however, primary were in
terested in the light control abil-
ties of the apparatus since a specia,
setup is virtually completed to syn
| chronize the sirens.
Amount of Materials Undetermined
The exact amount of materia
needed to make the light-control
system work here have not yet been
determined, but the inventors pro.
posed to have the transmitter at 9
central location. sending out the
signals to repeaters at the substa-
tions, which, in turn, would trans
NIT the signals to the receiving ap-
paratus. There probably would be
as many pendulum relays. which are
individual to this system, as there
are now light switches.
Under the present arrangement
the $50 light switches which con-
troll lighting circuits are thrown by
policemen. The present system has
been considered a makeshift ano
undependable When the District
had its last surprise blackout, it was
IL minutes or more before all street
lights were extinguished.
After viewing the transmitter al
the Pepco substation, at Thirteenth
and D streets NE, the party of of
flcials Travelled half a mile to view
the system in operation.
Timed at II Seconds.
Gathered around an open man
hole, they watched a mechanic
| climb down to energize the circuit
turning on four light bulbs on &
board hung against nearby tree
Over the police radio came tn,
order to proceed with the signal. A
few seconds later the pendulum re
lay clicked and in another second o.
two the lights went out. ;"
The officials timed the period re.

Staying of Oscar Davis, white
his employer. Waller was
convicted by a jury of white
poll taxpayers. The state of

testimony entirely contrary

The United States Supreme
court refused without explanation
to review the case. Walters case
has been a battle for approximate

Odell Waller was Virginia
