FIRST BLACKOUT
SHOWED LACK OF
COORDINATION
A definite lack of coordination
between the military at Elmendorf
Field, Anchorage, and the local
civil defense council marked the
first blackout last night for the
Juneau-Douglas area in exercisa
■Fires tep.”
The simulated air raid was to oc
cur at 11:40 p.m . according to ad
vance information received by the
Alaska National Guard headquar
ters. Tire civil defense council had
been given information that the
air raid was to occur at 10:10 p.m.
The first warning of an air raid
came from the CAA tower at the
airport at 10:42 p.m., 16 minutes
after the signal had been received
at the tower. With the realization
that the alert signal was given a‘
the conclusion of the supposed air
raid, the all-clear was given at 10:51:
p.m., 13 minutes after the black
out signal was given on the fire
siren.
Lights Are On
Lights were left on in various
parts of the Juneau-Douglas area
during the interval between the j
alert and all-clear siren signals.
Prominent lights along the water
front were on the Coast Guard’
Cutter Storis. »The Barancf hotel
and other sections of Juneau were
obvious by not turning off lights
when the alert signal sounded.
Street lights in Juneau were
flashed on and off twice during the
blackout. The landing lights at the
airport were not turned off until
the all-clear signal was sounded.
Approximately six cars violated the
blackout by traveling with lights.
The six Boy Scouts who are to
be used as runners between tli:
civil defense headquarters and dis
trict headquarters during a black
out reported immediately after the
blackout signal was given. Eoy
Scout* reporting were Dick Pegue ,
Dick Rountree, Jim Vavalis, Rober.
Harris, Don Abel, Eric Beach.
“Hams” on Alert
The amateur radio circuit to be
used in an emergency came on the
air«and stayed on during last night’s
operation. "Hams” reporting at the
civil defense headquarters to oper
ate the radio set maintained there
wq» Ken Allen, Jim Langdon and
Leo*Osterman.
is the possibility of one or
mom-alerts and blackouts during the
remsSaing three days of the Juneau
portion of exercise "Firestep.”
The Auk Bay residents were not
aware of any blackout or alert last
night because of the inability to
hear the CAA siren at the airport.

TAIYA PROJECT IS
NOT TOO DEAD.FR.
GALLANT REPORTS
The possible Taiya slumlnum
project, apparently Is 'lot too dead,
the Rev. G. Edgar Gallant told
the Juneau Chamber of Commerce
at a regular luncheon meeting at
the Baranof Hotel Thursday noon.
Father Gallant recently returned
from Washington, D. C. where he
represented the Skagway Chamber
of Commerce and City Council in
attempting to learn status of the
proposed project. He interviewed
a number of government officials
who were supposed to have infor
mation on the subject, but learned
little.
However, Senator Joe O'Mahoney
assured Gallant that no plant
would be built on foreign territory
by U. S. Government funds. Gal
lant also learned from Bill Warne,
department of Interior Under Sec
retary, tnat surveys had been made
in Canada for the project without
Canadian knowledge or permission.
This was later straightened out.
Other points brought out were
that there was some difference of
opinion on whether the aluminum
company or the U. S. Government
would develop the power; that the
anti-trust suit against the Alum
inum Co. of America had been
dropped; and that the Canadian
plant at Kitimat was being built
by the Canadian Aluminum com
pany.
Secretary F. O. Eastaugh an
nounced that the Pelican Trans
portation Service was maintaining
weekly* mail boat service to Excur
sion Inlet, Hoonah, Pelican, Port
Althorp and other points.
Guests were A. L. Howard, Ket
chikan mining man; Paul Soren
son, manager of the Hirst-Chi
chagoff Mining Co.. Howard Wea
ver of Portland, Bill Feero, CPR,
Skagway; and Ralph C. Mize, for
