Radio Will Aid Hunt for Desperadoes Coast-to-Coast Plan Will Hook Up 230 Stations By Unitt and Pret • KASAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 17.—A coast-to-coast system of more than 200 police radio stations in the United States and Canada this week will be thrown into the war on the roving desperadoes of the Charles (Pretty Boy) Floyd type, police said today. Final links in the chain, which is expected to form a powerful weapon against elusive gunmen who have terrorized the nation, were to be forged with completion of tests being conducted between Kansas City, Denver and Pacific coast stations. Now able to communicate directly with Washington, D. C., and far west points in favorable weather, the Kansas City station probably will become the hub of the national short-w'ave system with all-weather facilities assured by the addition of Denver and Salt Lake City to the network. The police radio chain has been expanded swiftly in recent weeks, especially in the midwest where the grim war cm the machine gun outlaws has centered. While cars of many state highway patrols and rural sheriffs are still not equipped with radio receivers, the men are able to obtain information while in the field from hundreds of private owners of short - wave sets. Many operators of filling stations and lunchrooms on major highways keep the dials set constantly on the low-wave bands over which bulletins are broadcast. They assisted the army of peace officers who conducted a futile search for F:oyd in central and northeast Missouri Friday.
