Daylight Tryout
Of Raid Signals
Due Tomorrow
Alarm to Be Sounded
Between 7 and 4P.M.
To Test New System

The enlarged Metropolitan Area s
first daylight test under the new
air-raid signals will send people to
shelter some time between pm.
and ON. tomorrow.
While the test is mainly to edu-
cate the public in following the
new signals at all hours of the day
and night. civilian defense officials
are anxious to study how the new
system works in the daytime.
Principal official concern. it was
said, was the daytime all clear
signal. During a blackout, the re-
turn of the street lights, coupled
with the fact that more people are
able to be near radio. has been
considered sufficient notice of an
all clear.
Will Call Out All Clear.
The downtown crowds during a
daytime test will have to rely on
motorcycle police touring the streets
to call out that the test is over.
Acting Civilian Defense Director
Porter Lumpkins pointed out, how
ever, that since the all clear follows
the second blue" signal when pedes.-
trians are allowed to move normally,
notice of the all clear won't be a
particularly pressing problem.
Principally affected will be motor
lists, who have to limit their speed to
Is miles until the AL clear" Both
motorists and pedestrians, of course,
have to seek shelter on the red"
Can Continue Inside Work.
Also of interest to the officials
is the effectiveness of the noise
making devices over the sound of
daytime traffic.
Inside of buildings, workers can
continue their normal work on the
blue" signals but must go to shelter
on the red" in accordance with the
regulations, it was said.
The test will cover the entire
metropolitan area, which now fol-
lows the same boundaries as the
military district Of Washington. 1t
includes Fairfax and Arlington
Counties, Va; Alexandria. Va; all OF
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties, Md, and Charles County,

Washington Included
In Postwar Road Plan

Washington is one of IS cities for
which the Public Roads Admins
tration has projected S500.0OO, 900
postwar highway construction pro-
gram, Commissioner Thomas H.
Macdonald said today.
Plans are developing rapidly and
are designed to provide fully
planned, road building projects
ready for immediate construction
after the war. He gave no details
OF the projects for the Washington
area.
Construction would be financed
jointly by the Federal Government
and the States. with the latter
matching the Federal contribution.
The program would be equivalent
to about two years of Federal aid
highway work in normal peacetime,
Mr.. Macdonald said.
The preliminary engineering Is
being financed by a $4,000, 900 fund
authorized in the 194l Defense
Highway Act.

Fifteen minutes after we landed

Ball recalled how the Red Cross

struck another thought agreeable to

For Milk Price Exceptions

Dairy and consumer interests had
until the close of business today to
file exceptions to an Agriculture
Department amendment which
would give milk producers a 40
cents hundredweight increase in
the price of milk they supply the

cent increase was recommended

Washington, May 18-(UP)-Army Liberator heavy bombers braved bad weather and heavy fighter opposi- ton to attack Japanese held Wake Island last Saturday, the Navy an nounced today,
 It was assumed that the big American planes flew from Midway Island, l,l90 statute miles to the north eastward. Midway is the near est American base.
 The attacking force ran into a swarm of 22 Japanese Zero fighters defending the island. Two of these were definitely destroyed and an- other one was probably destroyed, the Navy said. It did not say whether any of our planes were lost.
 Bad weather prevented the Amer jeans from determining how much, if any, damage was inflicted on the enemy installations there.
 This was the first attack on Wake since Jan. 25 when American planes made a reconnaissance raid on the island. It was the fifth recorded air attack on Wake since the island was captured Dec. 23, l94l from the small U. s. Marine garrison which defended 1t against overwhelming odds for more than two weeks.
