out. Installation of the system would not involve the purchase of additional cars, as present plans call for use of the 10 motor patrol cars now in service.
 One-Way System
 In the one-Way system, such as is contemplated for use in Water- bury, the police department main- tains Q dispatcher 24 hours q day. This man receives all incoming calls of on emergency nature and im- mGdiately puts the essential facts of each call on the air by speak ing into a microphonc located, con- Veniently nearby. By means Of Q push button, or switch, the dis- patcher is able to start the trans hitter just before he speaks into tho microphonc. Some kind of dis- tinetive tone or musical note is ar- ranged to immediately attract the attention of patrol crews.
 Information regarding the action taken by the patrol cars is custom arily transferred back to headquar- ters by telephone.
 Equipment Inspected
 Superintendent of Police William J. Roach and Deputy Superintend- ent Daniel J. Carson have inspected equipment in use In Bridgeport. New Haven and other cities during tho past few weeks and are con- vinced that the systems are an in- valuable aid in crime reduction and detection.
 ~ Advocates of the systems point out that with radio control of the patrol force the undisturbed time for car- rying out burglary, hold-up, or other attack is greatly reduced, with tho result that many crimes are in- terrupted and in other cases the chase Is undertaken while the trail is still fresh,
 A typical instance of the useful ness of the system is in the detec- ton of hit-run drivers. There have been several cases of the kind lo- cally within the past year; in at least one, the driver responsible for Q fatality was never caught.
 Effective Method

cured and more positive and con- viction is obtained more frequently and with less expense to the tax payer, it is claimed. Proponents of the system also declare that radio is also effective in preventing crime since the criminal carefully avoids the districts in which he does not feel reasonably sure of success.
 Recent figures reveal that there are approximately 170 municipal and 52 state police stations. Wa terbury is the only one of the larger cities in the state without police radio system at present, installa- tions having been made in Hart ford, Bridgeport and New Haven.
 The proposal is by no means new and whether or not 1t will meet with approval is of course problemat atical. It is regarded however, as one of the most important of several in- novations now under consideration by the police department and with the rapid increase of radio by police throughout the state the possibilities for It's adoption here are apparently greater than ever before.
 Proposed Rejected
 A proposal for two-way radio system at cost of approximately $6,0O0 was included in the depart ment budget at one time by former Superintendent of Police Joseph II. Mclean, but was rejected. The sys- tenn proposed was also to be extend- cd to the fire department, and had the endorsement of department off, cials. Charles K. Ahearn, super intendent of fire alarms, an enthusi- astic proponent of the systems, at one time established an amateur station for experimental purposes and has for many years been inter- ested in radio transmission for use by police and fire departments.
 There was also proposed Q short time ago a municipal sending sta- ton which would be used at least part time by the police department, and another suggestion advanced some years ago would have towns in the vicinity who might benefit by use of the system contribute sofne- thing to It's support.
 Low Cost
 Maintenance cost, 1t is claimed, would be low. With Q system such as proposed here, using relatively few patrol cars, arrangements may be made with competent local service organization to handle ordi- nary repairs.

Mrs. Milton, Baker, of Key
West, is i'll with pneumonia in a
hospital in Pensacola where she
went to visit her son, and daugh-
ter-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Baker.
Mrs. Baker left about seven
weeks ago for a visit with the folk

developed into pneumonia and at
one time she was reported critic
ally i'll.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Rhoda
Baker, her sister, received en-

the sufferer is improving and at
the time the news was sent she
was out of danger.
However, the nature of Mrs.
Bakers illness and complications
which were later manifested, indi-

be confined to her bed for a long
period before being physically
able to return to Key West.
