Blackout Hides Honolulu By Frank Tremalne Honolulu, May 31 (U.R) I (lew in an air raid over Honolulu last night and saw a blackout hide the "Gib raltar of the Pacific." From an army bomber roaring in (rom the ocean, the Hawaiian islands looked like indistinct, dark blobs lying In the Inky blue Paci fic. As the bombers approached Hono lulu we could see the street lights blink once and then go out. Al most in unison the rest of the lights in Honolulu disappeared. Every is land in the group was blacked out for 10 minutes. Except for the indistinct coast line where the breakers sometimes picked up a faint light In their foam, I could not pick out a single land mark. ' Our bomber dove on the city and dropped (lares. Instantly dozens of searchlights leaped up at us. The bomber lurched madly as one of the lights caught us and we twisted out of it, but the light picked us up again. We circled the city several times, dodging the searchlight beams, and flew back out to sea as the black out ended. Army observers today reported the blackout was a complete suc cess. Even the smallest villages in outlying islands cooperated In the test. Contract Awarded For Eugene Airport Portland, May 21 Iff) The joint bid submitted by E. C. Hall of Eu gene and J. C.
