'Somebody Going To Catch
Hell' When He Gets Back
In New York, Says Mayor
Br tl AnocUUd PreM
Alaska' first air raid warn
ing, official concern over arrow
haped fir beaconi near Port
Angela, and accelerated home
defense preparation! under di
rection of New York's Mayor
Fiorello La Guardla were de
velopments today after the Pa
cific northwest's third night of
modified blackout
Reports at least one uniden
tified plane was flying over
Alaska prompted four air raid
alarms at Anchorage, location
of an army air base. Schools
were kept closed, streets were
cleared for several hours and
planes took to the air from the
Anchorage base.
Rumors Denied
Later the Fort Richardson
public relations office denied
rumors, which it said .were cir
culated in the states, that
bombs had been dropped In
Alaska.
Reports differed on signifi
cance of the Port Angeles fire
beacons seen Tuesday night
and again Wednesday. From
Washington It was said the
army was Investigating fifth
column activity in connection
with the flares. At Olympia,
Ross Cunningham, assistant to
Governor Langlie, said identity
of the white persons who set
the fires was known but that
no arrests were made and the
state was not working on the
case. He also said army offi
cers regarded the shape of the
fires as "coincidence."
Little Flower Irked
; La Guardla conferred In Se
attle with mayors, police chiefs
and fire chiefs from the Puget
sound blackout area. He warn
ed that "confusion, disorder and
panic can do more damage
than bombs."
. The fiery "Little Flower" ad
mitted he was "embarrassed
and humiliated" on seeing wire
photos of New York City
crowds standing in groups dur
ing yesterday's air raid alarms
there.
"Won't somebody catch hell
bout this when I get home?
"Here I go around the coun
try telling people they must
stay inside during air raid
alarms. And right In my own
city this happens this," ha em
phasized, flourishing the news
picture.
"Why won't people realize
that our whole coast, the At
lantic, the gulf and the Pac
ific, for 300 miles Inland, Is a
target area?" j
i Other developments:
Aberdeen city councils pass
ed ordinances dealing with
blackout violations.
Lyle F. Walls, regional for
ester at Portland, said the U.S.
forest service had taken steps
to aid In northwest defense,
with rangers and lookouts act
ing as airplane spotters.

never been placed on the re
tired list You are very much
on the active list and your serv
ices will be of great value."
As for Smallwood, he passed
the army's physical examina
tion. However, his Is 44 and the
present maximum age is 33, but
a waiver of this regulation will
be sought In his case.

PERSHING OFFERS
TO SERVE AGAIN
Washington, Dec. 11. P)
"Black Jack" Pershing, who
won his spurs and his nickname
In the now embattled Phillp
plnese, wants to do his bit this
time, too.
But his World war chauffeur,
John W. Smallwood, has a bet
ter chance to do it in the arm
ed forces.
General John J. Pershing, the
AEF's commander who Is now
81 and ailing, offered his serv
ices to the nation once more
yesterday to the "last ounce"
of his strength.
By coincidence, Smallwood
chose the same day to volun
