SOVIET AND NARCOTIC
RADIO STATIONS ARE

recting the operations Of the ring
throughout the country, by dispatching
radio instructions to agents, Evidence
also has been procured tending to show
that it maintains communications out
side the limits of the country, probably
relaying messages via ships on the high
seas to the sources Of drug supplies.
Not Easily Detected.
Utmost secrecy has guarded the
gathering ct evidence against these two
stations. cnce the cases are COM
pleted It Is proposed to start proceed
ings against the principals in the Fed
eral District Court at New York.
Both stations are operating in the
radio bands reserved for amateur OPP
orators in this country. and therefore
have not interfered with regular conn
mercial communications. Directional
or beam" antennaS are being used,
making possible long-range communica-
ton with comparatively low power.
The stations, as q consequence, are
not easily detected.
A radio operator who lived in Russia
five years has been assigned the task OF
intercepting messages transmitted from
the outlaw Soviet station, to be used
as evidence This work Is most dtfhcult
because the Russian alphabet contains
about a dozen letters more than the
English.
The Russian station first was located
atop q high building in New York City,
BY EMPLOYING the radio triangulation
system, the station was located after
long investigation. 1t has removed
since. however to another quarter IN
New York's metropolitan area.
Case Regarded Delicate.
The nature of the communications
being maintained with Russia was not
diylllred. That the case is most deli
'cate. however, is evidenced by the
meticulous care being exercised by the
governmental operatives. Soviet Russia
has never been recognized by the United
States and all OF the dealings OF that
nation with this country have been
handled through the Amtorg Corpora

to be thorouehly familiar WITH tne
Russian case, the investigation having
been initiated while he still was in
office. !,
II is believed that some arrests al
ready have been made of Japanese
who have been charged with violation
of the narcotic laws and that these
have a direct bearing on the radio
case. Special agents Of the Govern
ment are understood to have spotted"
the key men in the cases OF both
stations.
Aliens Are Barred.
Under the radio act, it IS unlawful
"a operate any kind of radio station
in this country without a Federal
license. Beyond that, however, the
radio act specifically provides that no
alien may possess a radio station, ana
that no corporation with aliens on its
board holding as much as one-f1fth OF
the corporations stock may be accorded
licenses.
In the past Federal authorities have
prosecuted several operators Of outlaw
radio stations used by bootleg rings.
About 100 such outlaw stations arc be-
iieved to be operating in the amsteur
hands directing the flow OF contrAband
liquor into the United States, notably
along the Atlantic seaboard.

Statements that the morale and eff

Department have been lowered by in
vestigation of alleged third degree
practices of police. made last night at
a meeting of the Executive Committee

with statement that since the investi-
cation of third degree was started fewer

pointed out that one of the methods
followed by Russian Soviets was to seek
to break down the work of those officers

charged with enforcement Of Law and

morale of the local police force would
be an aid to the program Of the reds.
Gen. Fries proposed the resolution
adopted by the Legion Department
