Radar to five ‘Spotted’ in Alaska—
City Drivers Helping Hand
Will Be Used to © Check Speedometers
By ED KENNEDY Police radar, nemesis of more than 500 speeders arrested here in the past six
weeks, will go on the streets
of Indianapolis to give motorists a helping hand Wednesday.
Capt. Audry Jacobs, head of heen an
the Indianapolis Police Department’s traffic section, announced plans for a huge city-wide speedometer check. “The check will give every car, owner in the community a chance| to know exactly the accuracy of his car's speedometer,” Capt. Jacobs said. So far arrests for speeding have been made only when the offender was driving “considerably” in excess of the speed limit, police said. They also reminded drivers the accuracy of the speedometer in their responsibility. “Our check will give everyone an opportunity to know just | where they stand,” Capt. Jacobs stated, . The method to be used for the check will include the present system of radar speed checking along with that used by drivers in the big 500-mile race.
Will Record Speed Starting Wednesday one of the city’s two radar units will set up to check speedometers. The motorist will first see a sign announcing: “Speedometer Ahead.” .
Check Zone
A short distance further will be|cited, but he swore he knew what another sign: {he was talking about.
“Check your speedometer now.” At that point the unseen beam of radar will be recording the car’s exact speed. Then, about 200 feet further a
police officer will hold up a slate Alaskan time. He and his staff listing the exact speed your car|officers checked their jets. None
was moving as it passed the check spot. “If there is any difference between what his speedometer reads and what radar showed the driver will know—he can then make allowance for the difference—ory even better, get it fixed,” Jacobs asserted. Police sald the other radar unit would continue in operation on a “real business” basis 24 hours a day, so don't try any speeding thinking the radar is busy checkIng speedometers.
Chief Praises Project
Chief Ambuyhl lauded the proj-la matter of minutes—by pre-ar-ranged code—he put the Western; “We've got to do everythingiCentral and Ald Defense Compossible to make people speed con-imands in a similar state of cious,” he sald. “This will give readiness. every driver an opportunity to|
ect.
check his meter against our exact timing device.” «The chief said the police plan to keep Indianapolis “slowed down.” “Speed is the biggest killer in traffic,” he said. Capt. Jacobs said the first locations will be in the northern part| of the city,
Will Move Around “After that we'll move it around to all parts of town and everyone will have a chance,” he said. And just in case you're coming up ir court tomorrow on a speeding charge and planned to use a bum speedometer as your excuse —don’t., Judge Phillip L. Bayt has the reason. “Five dollars and costs.” And sometimes more.

At dusk last Wednesday, in a remote village on Alaska's northwest coast, a ground observer spotted several vapor trails, Vapor trails, in the crisp, thin air of the sub-arctic, are a dead giveaway.

Pickets Called OF In 43 States, D. C.
By United Press NEW YORK, Apr. 19—The CIO Communication Workers of America called off picket lines in 43 states and the District of Columbia today, breaking up the 12-day-old nationwide telephone walkout. Western Electric and CWA District 10, representing 16,000 installation workers, reached an agreement early today providing for pay increases of 31.1 cents an hour in wage boosts and fringe benefits. Telephone operators had refused to cross picket lines the installers threw up at phone exchanges on a “hit and run” basis, but the picket lines were being withdrawn today, : Otficals of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., said telephone service ranged from “normal” to “almost normal.” 18,5000 Still on Strike Strikes involving some 13,500 other phone workers continued but had no effect on phone service in most areas.
