Network Net Traps
Only One Air Spy
And He's Innocent
Eight New F. G. c. Radio
Listening Posts Hunt
Fifth CoIumnists
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

With eight Of the Federal Commu-
nication Commission's radio listen
ing posts" already operating on q
24-hour schedule in search Of "fifth
column" activities by air, the only
suspicious case uncovered-that OF q
ship operator using a secret code
proved on investigation to be an
innocent one.
The full complement of listening
posts, it was said, will probably not.
be in operation until the end of Oc-
tober. Various problems have de-
layed establishment of all the sta.
tions, which are financed by a special
fund of 81 1900 900 allocated to the
F. c. C. by the President. The prob
lens include sites for stations, equip
ment and personnel.
The first listening posts established
are in the eight monitoring stations
the commission maintains through
out the country for checking radio
broadcasters to see that they keep
on assigned frequencies. These are
manned by engineers, whereas the
new listening posts will be manned
by licensed operators.
1t was said 81 of the listening sta
tions will be located on Army posts.
Each of the q district Offices of the
commission is to have station, and
Is are to be located in rented
quarters.
While the commission did not en-
ploy a single radio operator on July
/, it is said, it now has 104 operators
working, and expects to have a total
of 232 ready to be assigned to the
stations by September l6.
The commission is seeking legis-
lation requiring registration of all
radio transmitting apparatus. 1t
now has authority to license such
apparatus when being used, but 1t
does not have a record of appara-
tus built, but not in use. This
legislation, it was said, was needed
to strengthen its authority in COM
batting fifth column activities, as it
proposes to make possession OF un-
licensed transmitting apparatus q
violation OF law.
