LEACH FAVOfiS POLICE RADIOS FOR AUTOISTS

Citizens Can Aid Officers, State Policeman Contends. State Police Captain Matt Leach believes private citizens should be rncmiratfed to install short-wave radio sets in their automobiles, rather than be forbidden to do so, as they now are by law. Speaking at the Riley last night at. a dinner-meeting of the technical committee responsible lor Installation of the state police radio system, Capt. Leach pointed out that law-abiding citizens can aid police officers by owning short-wave sets and keeping them tuned in on the state police system. Motorists may receive descriptions of fleeing holdup men and other lawbreakers and relay information to police units, Capt. Leach said. He criticised, however, the proposal that vigilante groups of private citizens be organized for crime hunts. Results Satisfying Members of the technical committee and representatives of the Indiana Bankers’ Association, which gave $30,000 for the radio system, expressed satisfaction with results obtained. Lieut. Com. O. F. Heslar of the Third Naval Reserve, technical committee chairman, introduced A. M. Glossbre nner, bankers’ committee chairman; Felix M. McWhirter, former bankers’ association president, and Don E. Warrick, association secretary. Development of the radio system was discussed by Paul G. Andres, chief engineer; Frank Morrow, chief dispatcher; J. Earl Woodward, chief construction engineer, and Arnett Curry, transmitting engineer. Mr. Andres said the system now Is recognized as ’perhaps the best in the United States," despite that its cost of $50,000 is much lower than costs of systems in neighboring states.
