But now, in charge of valuable cargoes of war materials, their task will be to avoid the Japanese wherever possible. “But these boys are naturals,” their instructors told me. - “They are going to be just as good at transport flying as they were at knocking down the Japs.”

Mayor Reveals

By LOUIS ARMSTRONG The defense organization of Indianapolis is rapidly nearing the time

when “tryouts,” practice blackouts, but with plenty of light, will be held by district organizations. | Mayor Sullivan told district wardens last night that some districts in the city were ready for these “tryouts” now and they will begin akout the first of August. The wardens met in the War Memorial last night for a pep talk and instructions. Mayor Sullivan called ‘the roll and all but one or two of the 47 district wardens responded. It was revealed that more than 900 persons in the city have completed air raid warden courses and 55 schools in progress will soon be It was

stressed that one of the important tasks now before the defense council was to train and assign men to their positions. The wardens were enthusiastic. They liked the prospect of the tryouts soon.- A tryout, the mayor told them, would be held some day before dark. No lights would be turned out. They would “play” like

the emergency. After successful tryouts would come dimouts and then the blackouts. Near the close of- the meeting Herbert Fletcher, chief air raid

warden of the city, administered the oajph of allegiance to the Constitution. In the future each graduating class of every civilian defense course will take the oath before they receive their certificates.

Wardens Get Arm Bands

Here are some of the things you can expect from civilian defense in the city soon: : Arm bands will soon be appearing on air raid wardens, auxiliary police and auxiliary firemen. There are now on hand 2000 of these bands for distribution. ' Steel helmets for air raid wares will also begin to appear in a limit- ; ed number in the not too distant future, Every home and business establishment in the city will be canvassed by the wardens and instructions will be left on what to do in case of an emergency. The wardens will also ask questions to familiarize themselves with the buildings.

: Enlist More Women

More women will be trained for warden duties. Under the present setup it would be confusing if the city were to receive a day-light attack. Nearly all of the male wardens work outside of their home districts to which they have been assigned. When the organization is complete women will handle the emergency in daytime until the men get there. No gas masks for Indianapolis are in sight. The east and west coasts must be supplied first.

Won’t Use Sirens

Steam whistles on factories and buildings over the city will be the first air raid warnings. Sirens may not be used at all because they can be confused with fire truck and police car sirens. The central control office will be complete soon. Carpenters and plumbers are now working on the 22d st. building and plans for the communication system are being drawn. Offices will be on the third floor, a meeting on the second, and more offices and supply space on the main. 3
