News in Brief: New Jersey Holds Air Raid Alert. "The first 'state-wide' air raid alert finds busy Newark and other Jersey cities responding with enthusiasm and calm to the blast of air raid sirens. Large stores are shelters, and streets are quickly emptied of pedestrians, until the all-clear sounds." A few street scenes with pedestrians and medium auto traffic; everyday life in a city. Sign directing people to bomb shelter. Civil defense workers (one arm band shown) direct orderly citizens into the shelter. A few scenes of almost empty strets, only a few people still scurrying to get to a shelter. After the drill, people come out of a bank building (could pass for end of business day on a cloudy day), pedestrians walk along sidewalk.
