One State Radio Station Will Be In This Section As a result of experiments car ried on over a period of months State officials have decided to builc five police radio stations and locat< them near Williamston, Elizabeth town, Raleigh, Salisbury and Ashe ville, says the Raleigh News anc Observer. Although sepcification for th« stations had not been completed the compilation of data collectec by radio experts is completi enough to make certain that fiv< stations will suffice and that theii best location to cover the State will be in the vicinity of the five places named. Director of Purchase A. S. Brow ed said that bids for the construc tion of the five transmitters will be advertised for January 13 and opened January 30. Captain Charles Former, of the state high way patrol, estimated that it would require two months from the time the contracts are awarded to put the stations in order. In addititon to the five stations, the State will ask for bids on about 200 receiving sets. The law re quires that one be put in the office of each of the 100 sheriffs of the State and each district office, cat and motorcycle of the patrol will have them. The last Legislature, which en acted the police radio law, estimat ed that the cost of the radio equip ment in the State would be about $65,000, but Mr. Brower believgs it will exceed that amount. The five stations located as planned will give almost complete coverage of the State both day and night, although there will be some "dead spots” especially in the mountan sections. The terrain in the far west, however, is such that even with the construction of six stations 100 per cent coverage probably could not be achieved for both stationary and portable re ceivers. To begin with there will be no wire connection between the five broadcasting stations but it is planned to have each broadcasting station sufficiently equipped with receiving sets that can catch the broadcasts from other stations and relay any information of import ance to their sections. It has been suggested also, that the several stations be connected by teletype and in time arrangements may be made to connect them all by wire so that when the occasion demands one broadcast would be sent out from each of the five sta tions. ine State ponce raoio system was one of the three major acts to pro mote highway safety and the en forcement of highway laws passed by the last Legislature. The patrol was more than doubled in size, the State automobile driver’s law was passed and the radio system creat ed. The radio, however, is intended to do more than provide better en forcement of the highway laws. The law specifically stated that each sheriff’s office be equipped with a receiving set and it was as sumed that police stations also would take advantage of the oppor tuniey. For instance, in the case of a hold-up, the formation of a mob or the commission of some crime and the escape of the criminals, po lice could be called to the scene of the crime from all directions, or stationed at points where the es caping criminals might be expect ed to pass. DEMAND ACTION ON PENSIONS Richmond, Va.—Additional con troversial issues loomed on the leg islative horizon as old-age pensior advocates continued unabated theii fight to force action at this session contrary to the recommendation; of the Governor.

D. Chalk, State game and inland fisheries commissioner, said. "The proposed refuge,” said Chalk, "is located in a territory well adapted to upland birds and deer and will be of great benefit to the wildlife in that area and a valuable addition to our chain of refuges.” Chalk visited the area and recom mended a territory for the wild life refuge. It is planned, he said, to enclose the refuge in a wire fence and to improve the territory as a breeding place and sanctuary for game along the lines previously followed by the State Department of Conservation and Development on land set aside for a similar pur pose. Reynolds’ Will In Baltimore Courts The State of North Carolina has filed in the Circuit Court of Balti more City a petition to intervene in the sui_t which the Safe Deposit and Trust company had brought against the Smith Reynolds heirs—a friend ly action by which the trust com pany hopes to have the courts de cide its responsibility in the matter. North Carolina is interested to the extent of $2,000,000 inherit ance tax, which it will get 'if the compromise settlement of the Rey nolds will case is approved in Balti more, as it was in the courts of this state. The North Carolina Supreme court last fall gave its approval to the proposed distribution of young Reynolds’ $30,000,000 estate. How ever, the money is in Maryland and the trust company is not wil ling to dispose of so large a sum without the approval of its own courts.

TEXTILE MILLS WILL j i OBSERVE CODE < (Continued from page 1) jl doubt of the attitude of the large,: majority of the manufacturers in i other groups. 1 The fact that Institute records . on conformance since the NRA code was abolished showed that 97 , per cent of the industry has con- : tinued to operate on code stand- 1 ards is considered an indication that the manufacturers realize the value, not only to employes and to the general public, but also to them selves of the continuation of these policies, leaders said. Several outstanding manufactur ers in Charlotte recalled and ex pressed agreement with the state ment made by Dr. Claudius T. Murchison, president of the Cot ton-Textile Institute, Inc., that ac ceptance of the pledge will be def-1 inite assurance to the general pub lic and to the workers that the preponderant majority of the in dustry is unwilling to return and is determined not to return to "those conditions which resulted in unstable markets, heavy business ! losses, and periodic unemployment ■ for workers.” The belief that the pledge will meet with enthusiastic approval by the large majority of the manufacturers was stressed.
