hours of this morning, the air min

corps, whose men crouched in wet,
muddy listening posts all over south
ern England on the alert foi
"enemy" airplanes.

of the greater London area inhabited
by S. 000. 000 people looked like a
few small scattered villages," the
air ministry said in describing the
officially-announced success of the
black-out test.
Commanders of planes assigned to
stimulate an attacking bomber fleet
