BLACKOUT
SIGNAL GIVEN
(Continued from Page One
(low ctart did a good Job of It,
observers reported.
Many people did not hear the
slgnali and others were not sure
(he sounds they heard were of
ficial blackout signals. News
paper and police wires were
flooded with calls as the signif
icance of the situation gradually
took hold of the public- con
sciousness. But almost immediately a few
lights went out, one of the first
being the Esquire theatre tower.
Dousing of the street lights
added tremendous momentum to
the blackout, with houses and
business places quickly follow
ing Into darkness. .
With two or three exceptions,
downtown commercial signs and
show windows were quickly ex
tinguished. The blackout caught large
numbers of people downtown,
and groups gathered quickly
around windows which still
gleamed with light. Citizens
yelled at motorists to pull to
the curb and turn off their
lights.
Crowd Yalls
Some one broke the window
on a car, parked between
Eighth and Ninth on Main
streets, and turned off lights
that had been left on.
There was evidence of anger
about lights that were still burn
ing in business houses, but no
other violence. Managers of of
fending places were called and
turned off signs and window
lights. One window, near Eighth
and Main streets, was finally
blacked out at 8:43 p. m., and
that just about did the job in
:the main business district.
In more outlying districts, Hot
Springs and South Sixth street
teemed to be the most tardy in
extinguishing light. Just before
8:90 p. m. there were a few
spots of light in Hot Springs.
At 8:50 the obscuration was
almost complete. This was 33
minutes after tohe street lights
went off.
Industrial ' plants generally
blacked out quickly, but ob
servers noted a string of - lights,,1
. apparently on a lumber dock
between Lake Ewauna and
South. Sixth street, which did
not go out until 8:27 p. m.
Suburbs Lighted '
The suburbs did not black out.
Residents there evidently did
not hear the signals. One signal,
at the-highway shops, which
was to be blown to warn su
burban residents, was not
sounded...
About the time the city was
well darkened, a train on the
Southern Pacific tracks moved
slowly into town, its headlight
sending a long shaft of light
through the blackened commun
ity. .
Many amusing Incidents oc
curred. One woman, warned to
turn off her lights, extinguished
inside globes, then turned on the
porch light and came out to
look around.
City police were busy moving
through the streets to warn cars
to the curbs and check off
lights still burning. A resident
on Hillside reportedly . refused
to turn off his lights, but when
a police siren sounded his and
other lights on the streets went
suddenly black.
Several residents of Biehn
street took it upon themselves
to stop cars coming Into town
to warn them of what was go
ing on "and did a good job of
it," according to police. But
they advised citizens not to
function as unofficial police.
Officers said people have a
false idea about blue lights,
which are no more permlssable
than any others in a blackout.
Owners of cars with blue coat
ing over their headlights att
tempted to drive around but
were stopped whenever seen by.
polic rfyficers warned motor-
to read official tete
ions on .vehicular
ig precautionary per-
In the midst of the blackout,
a house at Ninth and High
streets caught on fire and the
fire department made a run to
that point. Minor damage was
done.
The blackout caught crowd
students and townspeople at
the high school gymnasium.

Klamath Falls residents driv

little chance In a real air raid,
' according to Sheriff Lloyd Low.
"When the sirens sounded,"
ho said, "drivers speeded up
and headed for home with their
headlights on full force.. Evi
dently they forgot that instruc

Midway islands which lie closer
to Hawaii Hum Guam which is
closest to the Philippines were
continuing to resist.
The navy communique:
"The navy department an
nounced that it is unable to com
municate with Guam either by
radio or.. cable. The capture of
the island is probable. A small
force of less than 400 nuvnl per
sonnel and 155 murines were sta
tioned in Guam. According to
the last reports from Guam, the
island had been bombed repeat
edly and Japanese troops had
landed at several points on the
island.
"Wake and Midway continue
to resist.
"The above Is based on reports
untilO a. m. today."
The communique made no
mention of American civilians
on Guam or what their fate
might have been. Some time
ago congress appropriated con
siderable sums for development
of sea plane facilities there, and
it was believed that unless the
workers had been withdrawn
even after Japan's lightning at
tack on Pearl Harbor Sunday,
many of them probably were on
the island at the time of its sup
posed captilre.
The navy department had no
comment on a Japanese report
that the 32,600-ton US battleship
Arizona had been sunk in a sur
prise blow at Hawaii.
Japan s scheme for moving In
on the Philippines, the war de
partment said, "is now clearly
