coast, and it is hoped China will also
be ON the line. 1t is planned to OPP
crate on 10000 meter wave length
and the addition of smaller aerial
will permit the use of an amateur
ave length for broadcasting purposes.
In conjunction with this, every police
officer on the force will be equipped
with miniature receiving set with
which the station will transmit orders
and messages of Importance. The
aerial in this case is concealed in the
hat, and is nothing more than a broad
