Swiss Rationing Increases As Nation Feels First War Pinch
By Henry P. McNulty
United Press Staff Correspondent
ZURICH, Switzerland, Jan. 28 (UP)-Switzerland joined the growing list of European countries now spending their nights without lights on the day I arrived there. As I stepped off the train an air alarm sounded. With difficulty, in the dim half-light furnished by blue-painted bulbs, I found a porter and a taxi. The taxi's 1,000,000 headlights, also shaded, allowed the merest slit of light to guide it—not nearly enough 1,254,800 for the speed at which it travelled.
