Television To Help New York Police
(Rec. 1 p.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 30. From next Sunday, the New York police force will use television to help find lost or missing persons. Photographs of all missing persons reported to the police will be flashed at intervals by television on screens at 85 police stations throughout the city.
The New' York Police Commissioner Mr Valentine said that use of television would mobilise a whole force of 18.000 detectives into a gigantic missing persons bureau. At present, policemen, if they have time, shuffle through stacks of small photographs trying to memorise faces. Now they will see the required picture at intervals throughout the day.
