Detroit July 29. Michigan air raid wardens will mostly use sand or a water spray to douse incendiary bombs. Captain Donald S. Leonard state commander of the Citizens Defense Corps and Detroit Civilian Defense chief Glenn C. Richards said the jet stream method, recently recommended nationally, is acceptable only if no additional fire hazard is created by bomb fragments. Under other conditions spray and sand remain advantageous.
