AIR RAID FAILS
 TO MATERIAL|ZE
Policemen, Bremen, VOl- unteer Workers Re-
 spOnd to Call

Some 1900 disillusioned local civ ilian defense personnel returned to their respective homes yesterday fafter the 3 p. m. blowing of the all- clear sirens signalizing the end of the mock afraid bombing which proved to be mock" in every sense as state Civilian Defense headquar- ters failed to properly notify local officials that the scheduled test had been postponed.
 Chief Air-Raid Warden James J. Curtin who waited with Mayor Monagan atop the City Hall tower for the "raid'' that never happened stated bluntly that he was "keenly disappointed that the test hadn't occurred but was more disappoint- ed with the failur of the state au- thorities to cooperate with local personnel"
 Cause for the failure of local air. raid warning personnel to realize that the bombing" had been can- celled was traced to the wording of the original message received from state headquarters which stated that "all flights of light planes had been grounded leaving the infer ence that the heavier type planes would carry out the mock raid. The colored streamerS, which were to simulate bombs, were to be dropped by the Civilian Air Patrol corps and it was deemed too windy to allow them to take of in their light air. craft.
 MT. Curtin stated today that "it was unfair to cause all the prepara- tion on the part of local civilian defense personnel then fail to give proper notification as to cancella- tion of plans, as did the state head quarters"
 Preparations, here for the incl dent consisted of spotters being posted on all the principal down. town buildings of the city who were prepared to handle any emergency relating to the structures. In addi- tion to all the afraid wardens that appeared on duty the auxiliary police and f1remen were on hand as well as those regular policemen and firemen who while off duty con- tributed their share.
 Appropos of the raid local au- thoritieS had planned some ' in cident tests pertaining to the med- tcal division which were enacted as scheduled despite the reality of any test. Eleven doctors. g nurses and IA "ambulances" were on hand to give first aid and treatment to the casualties" which were simulated by local Boy Scouts.
 It has been stated that yester- days event, that never materialized will be the last of its kind sched- uled for the present time Previous plans for similar tests had been postponed because of inclement wea ther. It was stated that 40 mile an hour gale was blowing in most sections of the state yesterday which was too severe for the CAP person. nel to take off and land in merely for the purpose of a test.

 For good judgment and ef- ficient police service resulting in the capture of murderer said to be armed, who was fleeing from the scene of his crime.
 "On February T, 1942 at 7:24 p. m, Eastern War Time, a tele- type message was received from Hartford police department re- porting that one Henry Loncto, 32, who had just murdered his wife and two children ill Hartford; that he had escaped on foot and ap- parently headed for Springfield, Mass.
 A blockade was immediately set up in an effort to apprehend the murderer. Officer James Ber- hard Conlon and Sergeant Nor man E. Lowery were proceeding north from the Hartford city line on Route 5A. In the village of Wilson, Town of WindscT. a man answering the description of the fugitive was seen walking in a northerly direction. The State Police car was driven close to him and he was apprehended too quickly for any action on his part. Careful search did not reveal his gun. Upon his admission that he was the wanted man, he was taken to the Hartford barracks and later turned over to the Hart ford police. His capture was made at 7:44 p. m, exactly 18 minutes after the alarm was giv- en.
 Office James Bernard Conlon deserves commendation for his part in the apprehension of this desperate murderer. We hereby commend him for his Meritorious Service and award him the State Police Departments Citation and Emblem for Meritorious Service"
