v Indianapolis Keeps In = Step With Modern Way « Of Crime Detection.

. Installation of a two-way radio "system in police patrol cars which fs under way today, places Indian“gpolis in step with the latest methods in crime detection and preven-

tion. ls New York to California, from Canada to the Gulf, more and more cities are installing the new radio system. . Authorities say it gives police departments two arms instead of one. Under the one-way plan, used here since 1929, a central dispatcher could direct patrol cars by radio— put they had no way of reporting to him except by telephone. Now, radio communication both ways, even while the cars are moving, will be possible. By the end of this year, 23 squad cars are scheduled to be equipped with “homemade” sets assembled from used parts, at a saving of more than $8000, according to Police Chief Morrissey. Three-Way in Cleveland

Farthest advanced in the radio patrel system is Cleveland, O., where a three-way hookup—permitting a man whose home is being burglarized to talk via telephone and radio to the station and to the police car speeding to his rescue—is being installed. But Indianapolis, with its improved system, will not be far behind. Chief Morrissey describes the modernization program as marking “a new era in police radio and law enforcement in Indianapolis.” If the State Tax Board refuses a $4000 allotment for installation of two-way equipment on the remaining 22 cars (it has already been turned down by the Tax Adjustment Board) he indicated he might seek to raise the money by public subscription.

Gary Subscribed Funds

Several months ago, Gary had no funds for police radio and raised $12,000 by popular donation. America in recent years has made swift strides in utilizing radio in its war on crime, a national survey shows. _ In Bergen County, N. J., one radio system serves 60 towns and villages. The state has a Police Radio Commission to co-ordinate state, county, and local systems. An alarm in any one of four St. Louis County, Missouri, cities brings into action the squad cars of all four. . San Bernardino, Cal, built its own system—total cost, $800—and credits it with reducing house-breaking and petty thievery 90 per cent. ‘Long Beach, Cal, found an inexpensive two-way setup reduced car theft from 60 to 30 per month, and robkeries from 30 to four or 1 ve a month. And purse-snatching rroctieallv was. eliminated.

13 FIRMS CITED FOR PENCIL MONOPOLY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (U. P.) — The Federal Trade Commission charged 13 lead pencil manufacturers today with “unlawfully restricting, monopolizing and eliminating competition.” In a formal complaint, the Commission accused the manufacturers of fixing and maintaining uniform prices through the Lead Pencil As-

‘sociation, Inc., which the companies Lawbreakers are being tried—and | young pecple married in the aban- ' doned trolley car which serves as the

formed in 1937. The FIC said the association supervised activities of its members “to prevent the quotation of lower competitive prices and had its members maintain identical price list schedules of discounts and agency contracts.

FALL CLEANING TIME AT KING'S PALACE

LONDON, Nov. 4 (U. P.).—Now that it is autumn, Buckingham Palace is undergoing a “Spring Cleaning.” Many hundreds of rooms, the state apartments, the rooms used in daily life by the Royal Family and servants’ quarters and the innumerable rooms and offices required by officials are thoroughly reconditioned. This domestic cleaning can only be undertaken when the Royal Family is in residence at Balmoral or Sandringham for an extended ~ period.

System

Cameras To Help State Police Check Up on Auto Accidents.

When each Indiana State Police patrol car is equipped, some time after Dec. 1, with a newspapertype camera for photographing scenes of crimes and accidents, the State Safety Department will have kept step with the most advanced police technique. The cameras now are being assembled, and when they are delivered, all members of patrol units will be instructed in their use. They will be used particularly for accident reports, officials say. In Chicago, a movement is under way to equip police with motion picture cameras as a repercussion of the fatal “steel riot” in Chicago on Memorial Day, 1937. A resolution is now before the Chicago City Council that will provide for every riot squad having its own motion picture camera.

Permanent Record

The resolution further provides that the film shall be processed for permanence, shall be available to public officials; the press and the

general public, and shall be examined by experts to establish that the visual record once taken has not been ‘spliced or tampered with.” In any case, an accurate photographic record of a riot or any other action would be expected to show which side was the aggressor, provided of course, the film were an actual “start-to-finish” record. This is not the first time that police have found cameras of value. Often motion pictures and stills have proved of value in at least four types of police activity, police training, identification work, preserving and presenting evidence, and advising the public of traffic perils. High cost of modern motion picture and sound equipment has, to date, been the chief obstacle to wider police use. Los Angeles has been a pioneer in the use of pictures for many purposes, notably in the recording of evidence in cases of drunken or reckless driving—or just drunken-

Our Family’s Whiskey is so extra tasty folks are making speeches about it!

There's sure nothing halfhearted about the way folks praise 2c Family's Whiskey. I never laid claim to any of the credit for its tastiness. That's Grandpa Wilken’s doings and Pa’s. It was their years and years of experience in whiskey making that I lay its tastiness to. Of course we keep every batch right up to snuff—and I'll say this much.
