Army Bonbers
To Add Realism
In B|ackout Test
No Warning Planned
In Next Scheduled
Defense Exercises

Army bombers probably will fly
over Washington with giant search
lights attempting to spot them dur
ing practice air raid in the mill
tary district of Washington soon, it
was announced last night.
The test will be simultaneous
with test througout a large sec
tion of the East covered by the
1st and Sd Service Commands, as
we'll as the Military District of
Washington. The area includes Con-
necticut, Rhode Island, Massachu-
settes, Southern New Hampshire,
the District and Eastern areas of
Virginia. Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania.
Participation of Army planes here
will depend on the weather, it was
said by Maj. Gen. John T. Lewis,
commanding general of the Military
District of Washington. The test
here is in compliance with a re-
quest Of District Commissioner John
Russell Young.
Gen. Royce to Direct Test.
The entire test will be under direc-
ton of Maj. Gen. Ralph Royce,
commander of the 1st Air Force,
who was designated for the task by
1t. Gen. Hugh A. Drum.
Periods Of the blackout may be
longer in some areas of the East
than in others, Gen. Royce an
nounced from New York. It is ex-
pected that for any area under test,
the overall test period will not be
less than one and one-half hours.
The public is requested" he said,
Ito cooperate with all defense
agencies in order to secure maxi
mum benefit of the test"
WashingtonianS were warned by
Civilian Defense Director H. C.
Whitehurst to be careful not to
leave their premises at night with
lights burning.
Prospects that the blackout will
come without warning will put both
civilians and the civilian defense
protection services ito a supreme
test" Capt. Whitehurst said.
Burning Lights Scored.
One of the most frequent viola
tions, he explained, has been lights
burning in empty homes The test
will be the 23d for the District.
In the case of stores or other
places of business where night
lights are used as a precautionary
measure against burglary, if there is
no watchman to extinguish such
lights in even of an AFRAID alarm,
an outside switch accessible to war
dens or police should be provided.
I'VE feel we have done all we can
in respect to public education" Capt.
Whitehurst said. I'VE hope Wash
ingtonians will take air raid pre-
cautions seriously enough to famil-
iarize themselves thoroughly with the
requirements. If they do I am not
worried about the results of the
next test"

Gov. Darden Promises
Study Of Request for
25% Income Tax Cut
Consideration This Year
By Legislative Council
Is Pledged by Executive

Gov. Darden has promised to refer
to his Legislative Advisory Commit
tee for consideration this year a re-
quest from the Arlington County
Civic Federation for Is per cent re-
duction in State income taxes, Albert
A. Carretta. chairman of the feder-
atoms Legislative and Legal Action
Committee. announced today.
The federation first requested that
the State reduce its income tax by
Is per cent in September during a
special session of the General As
Sembly. 1t was not considered at
that time, however, because legisla-
tors had agreed to take up no con-
troversial measures.
In recommending to the Governor
a wartime reduction in income taxes,
Mr.. Carretta pointed out that for
the fiscal year ending June 80, ac-
tual collections of individual and
| fiduciary income taxes will be in
the neighborhood of $4.276, 900, as
compared with $2,935,555 collected
from the same sources during the
fiscal year which ended June 80,
1912. This represents an increase of
approximately As per cent, he said.
Mr.. Carretta also explained that
the $4,276,000 collected during the
current fiscal year was based on in
| comes received during the 1941 CAL
endar year. Since it is generally ac-
cepted that individual incomes
reached q new high in 1910 he said
receipts from this source should reg
lister further increase during the
next fiscal year.
"A mere Is per cent reduction in
income taxes at this time should in
no way endanger the State Treas
ury," Mr.. Carretta said. I'VE will
press for definite action on the re-
duction during the 1914 session of
the General Assembly"

receive the award in its behalf. In
celebration of the occasion, the
center will turn over half of its
| bowling facilities, free of charge, to
members of the chamber for a

The chamber went on record as
being unalterabiy opposed to a sug-
gestion of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. that ali traffic lights on
Wisconsin avenue be eliminated for
the duration. Such action would
cause serious hazard to life and
property, the chamber feels.
To Ask for NJ. P.'s.
Because the Montgomery County
Police are not able adequately to
cover the large area of Federal
property in the Bethesda area. the
chamber voted to recommend that
the County Board of Commissioners
request detail of military police.
Widening of the Wisconsin ave-
nue. bottleneck above the George
town road intersection cannot be
undertaken now, the State Roads
Commission told the chamber, be-
cause prioritieS cannot be obtained
However, this improvement will be
scheduled for early action after the
war ends, Clarence Kaiser, chair.
man of the roads committee, re-
ported. The Maryland Park and
Planning Commission is now max
ing an effort to obtain 20-foot dedi-
cations on both sides of the avenue
The chamber felt that a dedication
of 20 feet on the east side would be
sufficient to widen the highway for
four-lane traffic.
Bylaws Amended.
The bylaws of the chamber were
amended in a number of particulars
and the secretary empowered to have
500 copies printed for distribution.
