Plans for Fire Department Include 2-Way Radio System

By JOE JARVIS

On the heels of an unprecedented series of disastrous two-alarm fires, plans were disclosed today that will make Indianapolis one of the best~ protected cities against fire in the nation. Proposed as post-war projects, the plans include - installation. of twoway radios in every fire department vehicle, construction of a new headquarters for the fire alarm system and doubling the number of fire alarm street boxes. "Need of increased fire protection here has been pointed up by recent destructive fires at the American Valve and Enameling Co. the Big Four railroad warehouse and the stockyards. . In all, the fire department has fought 15 two-alarm fires . in the past two months—a departmental record. Griffis Gives Details The post-war projects were outlined by W. B. Griffis, superintendent of the gamewell division which installs and maintains the fire department's alarm system, the city’s traffic signals, the police street “call in” phones and all electrical wiring in city-owned buildings. _ Unfolding the pretentious radio project, Mr. Griffis observed that two-way radio will “revolutionize” - communications in the fire department. The proposed system would consist of a headquarters -transmitter and receiver and similar smaller units installed in all of the city's . fire trucks.

DETROIT; Feb. 9 (U. P) —Don Ordus, 25-year-old romantic Dearborn war worker, was fined $25 in traffic court yesterday for osculation. Not that the court held kissing illegal, but the judge objected to the manner and place in which it was done. Officers charged Ordus kissed a girl in his automobile, that it caused him to increase the car's speed to. 40 miles per hour and run a red signal light, and then that he stopped in the middle of traffic to complete the kiss.

Time Lost on Runs . “Today, once the fire trucks leave their stations they are out of the! department's control until the fire-| men call in by phone,” Mr. Griffis| asserted. “Sometimes they make] long’ dangerous runs unnecessarily because we cannot stop them while | ‘they are en route.

However, before any of the equipment reached | the scene, the fire was reported out. | Meanwhile, an alarm was sounded at the stockyards. With no apparatus in the nearest stations, trucks from outlying companies responded. By the time the:apparatus
