2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday; November 10, 1965 NEW YORK: A (Continued From Page One) The potential for peril was greater than in any similar set of circumstances ever to con- front New York--dwarfing inde- scribably a 1961 power blackout Bist covered firs squats miles "of Manhattan. At one point during a dire au- tumn night of cold and confu- - gion, one of the few spots of light "in the entire metropolis ema- nated from the upthrust torch "of the of Liberty, the "elty's historic harbor beacon. *" Police officials reported only scattered instances of looting-- 41 arrests were made. : > Mayor F. Wagner declared: "All New York should be -proud of the way everyone has co-operated and helped. I'm - proud of the people in this city." An aura of monetary panic, quickly dispelled, rolled through the city like an evil fog as the "lights went out at 5:28 p.m. Tuesday. "HUNDREDS TRAPPED It crept into skyscraper ele- -yators, where hundreds were "trapped in more than 200 cars, "some for hours. Doors had to ~ be pried open to free some pas- sengers. It swept through subway tun- nels where hundreds of thou- sands stood and sat intermin- ably, waiting for rescue.

Passengers reported an {people ROUGH NIGHT eerie view of the blacked-out city beneath them. And the panic flickered in the violent wards of city hospitals, where the mentally disturbed were uncomprehendingly fright- ened, Elsewhere in these instits- tions, babies were born and op- erations performed under emer- gency conditions. News tickers stopped through- out the world's prime communi- cations centre. Network radio microphones fell silent. Televi- sion screens went dark. STAY IN OFFICES Many persons simply spent \the night where they found \themselves -- high up in offices or in the lobbys of apartment buildings where elevators were immobilized.

(AP) at London saw a batch of bread ruined and out-of-town deliveries were delayed. Blackouts were reported in Smith Falls, Perth, Prescott and areas around Cornwall, and in Ottawa and Kingston lights flickered and faded. --Newspapers and radio and TV stations had their news wire services disrupted. NO DEATHS REPORTED Hospitals were on auxiliary power. There were no reports of deths. Robert Hillery, Ontario Hydro director of operations, said a "serious and detailed investiga- tion" would be conducted. "We never thought this was possible,' he said, 'The entire system is geared so that when a power - line is broken--by falling trees or drunken driv- ers--the excessive current back- up actuates relays, which iso- late the trouble spot and re- routes the electricity. "We will play a large role in \the investigation, which will be a full-scale study by comput- ers. "It could never reach disas- ter proportions--even in winter.

A total of 4,801 have been down nearly one-third from a year ago, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the labor de- partment said today in a joint re} port. It said employment rose be- tween September and October by about 25,000 to 7,008,000, In previous years, employment has tended to fall at this time of the year, while unemployment has tended to rise. The survey conducted at mid- month reported the total labor force at 7,179,000. This is an in- crease of 204,000 or nearly three per cent from a year earlier. The drop in unemployment figures was felt in all age groups.
