THE POST-DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10,1936;

State Police Radio System Important Project of FERA Powerful Agency in Combatting Crime in State—Additional Stations at Culver, Columbia City, Seymour and Jasper.

Indianapolis, January 8.—Construction of a comprehensive State police radio system, consisting of five broadcasting stations at strategic points, was one of the most important projects to which the Federal Emergency Relief Administration contributed by supplying relief labor. These five units form a complete police radio network, covering every foot of territory in Indiana. The system is a powerful agency in combatting crime in the state. Station No. 1, in Indianapolis, covers the central part of the State and connects with all the others, each of which covers its respective districts, thus forming a unified system. The other stations are at Culver and Columbia City, in the northern part of the State, and at Seymour and Jasper, in the southern part. Emergency police alarms are broadcast to State police posts, cars and motorcycles; to the city I police stations, cars and motorcycles; to police in local communities, and to state police radio stations in adjacent states. Such alarms also are received from the broadcasting stations in other states. All messages clear through the central station, in Indianapolis. The system was established and is operated under the direction of the State department of public safety. Through a legislative appropriation, the State contributed the sum of $20,000, which was supplemented by a fund of$20,000, raised by the Indiana Bankers’ Association. Practically all the labor except for supervision and some skilled workers, was contributed by the FERA. Workers on each unit were taken from the relief rolls in the respective counties. The total cost of the Indianapolis station, the only one on which both building and tower are completed, was approximately the same as the figure which manufacturers quoted on tower and transmitter alone. The central station, No. 1,— WPHE—which is situated in the State fairgrounds, is the only fortified radio station in the country. The other four stations are still housed in temporary buildings and Nos. 2, 3 and 4 are using temporary towers. The permanent tower at Seymour is in operation. However, all four, like No. 1, are in operation on a full 24-hour schedule. The Works Progress Administration is providing the labor for completion of these stations. When Complete all will be fortified and Equipped like the Indianapolis station, and will constitute a system that will not be surpassed, if equalled, in the United States. The Indianapolis station building is constructed of Indiana brick. The tower—vertical radiator— which is at the rear, is 225 feet high. An auxiliary motor, for use in case outside power lines are destroyed, is installed in the basement. There are more than five miles of wire in the ground system. The building—a modern “blockhouse”—is fortified against the possibility of a raid by criminal gangs in an attempt to put the broadcasting apparatus out of commission. It is surrounded by a barbed-wire fence of the prison type, and the gate affording the only entrance to the enclosure is operated from inside the building, so that only those with proper credentials are admitted. The front door, which faces north, has grilled iron bars, with a bullet-proof partition back of it. At night the grounds surrounding the station are illuminated with eight flood lights, power for which is supplied by its own electric system. The front door provides the only entrance to the station, and there are no windows. On each side of the building there are small portholes of bullet-proof glass, which are so equipped that it wouM be almost impossible to shoot into them from outside. They provide loop-holes, however, for station attaches to fire upon any criminal intruder, with high calibre rifles which are always at the elbow of

the radio operator. Light enters the building through a skylight, w,hich is also bullet-proof and is protected by a wire net. In the transmitting room is an imposing array of apparatus, com sisting of the transmitter and a panel holding three racks of amplifiers and receiver equipment. Speakers in the sets on the panel bring to WPHE the traffic of the Ohio, Michigan and other State police networks, and other receivers cover the various city police stations in Indiana. A broad desk supports the monitor receiver, which is tuned to the Indiana network, and the microphone hangs from a nickled standard above the desk. There is also elaborate testing and technical equipment, which is con-, stantly used to improve the operating standards of the system. Radio operators are on duty at the station twenty-four hours a day, working in eight-hour shifts. All are first class Federally licensed operators and receive their posts only after long periods of training. Situated in the Statehouse, several miles 0 from WPHE, but connected with the transmitter by telephone circuits and by means of a specially constructed receiver and antenna equipment, is the “nerve center” of the entire system. This is the office of the dispatcher, who is charged with the task of perfecting the correlation of the work of the police radio system with that of all the law enforcement bodies of the state, and with those of neighboring states. Here one of the largest maps of Indiana ever made is covered with myriad colored buttons and pins, each of which indicates a motor unit or a low enforcement officer who is under the direct command of the radio network. Here are the master files of information regarding the entire radio division, where messages, information of various kinds, and the charts and plans of defense against crime are catalogued and filed under, coded headings. Here the dispatcher watches constantly the workings of the entire emergency system, of the state, and it is here that the wheels begin to hum when a crime is committed anywhere in Indiana. Here too, the work of the Michigan and Ohio systems is in evidence, and portions of the files contain information derived through the cooperative of each of these states. The Indianapolis station transmitter is of 1,000 watt capacity, as are the four others. Since May 1935, when Station No. 1 started operations, more than 2,100 emergency police calls of statewide import have been broadcast, an average of about 300 each month. Reports reaching the station show that its broadcasts have been received as far away as Norway, and in the Philippines, Mexico, Cuba and other foreign countries, and in practically every state in the Union. Police alarms from state broadcasting stations in adjoining states are received at the five Indiana stations and are immediately rebroadcast over the state network, enabling state and local police to throw out their defenses against criminals escaping into Indiana after committing crimes in other states. The Indiana stations in turn broadcast similar alarms which are received by Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri and other adjoining states. When a bank robbery, murder or other major crime requiring emergency action is committed in any part of Indiana, the local or state police immediately telephone the nearest radio station, which broadcast the alarm. This is received on short wave sets in eighty-five State police cars cruising throughout the State; in police stations in all the larger cities where it is rebroadcast, and in nearly all county seat towns or cities, whence it is telephoned to the local police in the smaller communities. All these police units then go into immediate action, spreading a network for apprehension of the criminals. Supplementing the regular law-

enforcing officers, vigilante groups are being organized in every county in the state as part of the emergency system. Such groups already have been formed in forty-five counties. These men, equipped with rifles and pistols and all trained to use them on enemies of society, have the status of “citizen officers” and are empowered to act with the regular police when a crime is committed in their respective communities. State police radio codes are being perfected, so that criminals of the Dillinger type, whose cars have short-wave sets, cannot pick up the message and be forewarned of steps being taken toward their capture. These codes will be changed frequently, to eliminate possibility of leaks. In Michigan, where the state police radio system has been in operation about five years, major crimes have been reduced 90 per cent, in that period Criminals have given the state a wide berth, as they know their chance of “pulling off a job” and “getting away with it” is not worth the risk. The same results are expected to follow in Indiana when the system is completed and functioning with the full cooperation of all the law-enforcing agencies and police in the state. o _ NOTICE TO BIDDERS.

Science Wars On Highway Foe;. New Tests Cut Motor Accidents

Every ytmr the deadly traffic toll reaches new figures for highway deaths. This is the third of a series of articlea to combat a new common enemy, carbon monoxide gas, more deadly and Insidious than any "poison gas” employed In warfare.

By L. T. WHITE Highway Safety Expert

A N automobile la proceeding ** smoothly down a wide, perfectly paved highway. Suddenly the car swerves, crosses the other side of the road, runs into another car or ends up against a telegraph pole with both machine and driver badly smashed. The answer—carbon monoxide! You are driving along in similar fashion, but you may be more fortunate. You may get only a headache or dizziness which forces you to pull up on the roadside and try vainly to figure out your sudden nauseau. Again the answer is carbon monoxide! And because few motorists realize the deadly dangers of this gas, a widespread safety campaign utilizing science’s answer to this menace Is now sweeping the country. From coast to coast Insurance companies and safety committees arc cooperating to fight the gas which is believed to he the cause •f most of the M unexplainable N dis-

asters.

The absence of known faults in steering, braking, algnalling and idglgpi eynigiMBt, end the foot thet |

79 percent of drivers in accidents have no mental or physical defects, leads directly to the conclusion that carbon monoxide is present in sufficient quantities to * affect the driver’s perception and his mental alertness. Using the Power Prover, a scientific method of ascertaining the percentage of dangerous gas present when your motor Is running, engineers are fighting this menace with the finest equipment ever de-

vised.

The arrival of winter is a double warning to have automobiles tested by the Power Prover, for closed windows decrease the amount of fresh air which might fight carbon monoxide. The increase of motor accidents and deaths from asphyxiation in winter time should serve as warning that automobiles may become death traps unless functioning perfectly. In addition to the repeated warning never to start a car in a closed garage, motorists are urged to drive with one window partially open at all times. On long tripe It is advisable to atop erery hour for a breathing apell of a tew mm

Alvin S. Wendel

Two incidents reflecting the supreme court decision against the AAA caused a sensation in Iowa and other sections of the midwest farm belt, one occurring at Ames, la., where the six justices who doomed the AAA were hanged in effigy, arid the other coming from Bronson, la., where Alvin 3. Wendel denounced the court’s ideas as “antiquated” and “nineteenth century.” Wendel, head of an organization which raised a huge war chest to defend the AAA, also questioned the motives of the fig justices.
