that the exercise should provide
air raid wardens with a good OPP
portunity to demonstrate judgment
concerning the probable effect Of
genuine bombs in places where imi-
tation bombs are discovered. In adj
dition, he said, the act Of dealing
with such situations should give the
wardens concerned clue to their
probable actual behavior in a real
emergency.
In q communication to local war
council personnel, Mr.. Woodcock
suggested that number Of incl
dents be prepared for use in areas
where air-borne incidents do not
actually take place. InaSmuch as
the test will occur on q Sunday aft
ernoon, Mr.. Woodcock suggested
that in many instances private cars
might be substituted for regular po-
lice and fire vehicles.
During the practice red period
all traffic except emergency We
hicles will be stopped by regular
and auxiliary policemen. The pub
lie Is specifically requested to re-
frain from handling the bombs
after the exercise.
Administrator Woodcock express
sed his appreciation to both the
Civil Air Patrol and Army author
tiles for their cooperation in pro-
viding planes and arranging other
deals aendan upon he es. Boy
