AMATEUR OPERATOR IS
BOTHERING U. S. WIRELESS

Some amateur wireless operator IS
interfering with the operation OF the
military wires by sending out test
phrases over a homemade apparatus.
according to Lieut. John Med. Thomp-
son. in charge OF the radio office at
district military headquarters.
Lieut. Thompson said that he had
listened in on the wires and is con-
fldent that the messages sent out are
by some one just learning the game.
He IS anxious to learn who the
sender is. he said, as the government
desires to be in touch with all wire

Though the government has pro-
hibited the use Of amateur wireless
outfits during the war, he does not
anticipate that any punishment would
be inflicted in this case If his surmise
that the operator is an amateur is
