Adams House Darkens In Practice Blackout

Complete with first-aid casualties, incendiary fires and other hazards of an air raid. Adams House held a test alarm last night "to discover operational defects." Richard N. Swift '44, head Adams warden, said after the raid, that it was "entirely successful in this respect."

Lasting for one hour, the raid was primarily a test for ARP personnel, whose functioning Swift described as "excellent." The firefighters came in for especial praise from the head warden, while other services, including the wardens and the first aiders also performed admirably, he said.

Umpires David M. Little '18, master of Adams House, Richard B. Schlatter '34, senior tutor, and James J. Healy '04, assistant senior tutor, umpired the ARP's efficiency, and will make their full reports to Swift tomorrow.
