Moving to give law enforcement agencies a powerful new weapon In their fight on crime, the Communica tions Commission yesterday shifted its allocation of wave bands to provide frequencies for a country-wide police radio network. The action followed months of ex periments on inter-city police radio communication and efforts in sup port of such a plan by the Interna tional Association of Chiefs of Police and the associated police communica tions officers. Communication officials emphasized that the decision merely cleared the way for creation of a national setup and that before it could actually be placed in operation further action on specific applications by groups of cities or States would be necessary. In broad outline, plans thus far discussed call for creation of numer ous "police communications zones” throughout the country, in each of which a “key station” would be located. Experiments with intercity poUce radio already are being carried on by New Orleans, St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Detroit and Davenport. r _ IMAGES ARE BANISHED Chinese “New Life’’ Movement ’ Hits Szechuan Province.
