The United States and Canada tested the air defense network this week and found it lacking. Mock bombers penetrated radar cover while jet interceptors and anti-aircraft fire were employed. The exercise trained thousands of civilian volunteers in observation posts and filter report centers. Maj. Gen. Hugo P. Rush praised volunteers but urged more training and more personnel. Maj. Gen. Frederic H. Smith Jr. noted lessons including need for navy radar support and anti aircraft guns for key centers. The 36 hour civilian duty followed a Friday military start, and the exercise was the largest since World War II and the first joint run by Canadian Eastern Central and Western commands in over two years.
