City Surprised by Blackout Yet Faces Violations
Civilian Defense Coordinator Charles F. Carroll called last night's 35 minute blackout “quite successful” though nine downtown violations were reported. He urged sirens citywide costing about 2000 and noted some signals were inaudible while Beeson Hardware had a broken light cord. Police logged two auto violations and Carroll urged minimal lighting and no phone use during a blackout. Civil defense officials in Charlotte cited a signal mixup as the only major flaw in the statewide drill across 88 North Carolina counties.
