RADIO COMMUNICATION
VALUE IN ANY EMERGENCY ADVOCACY AT AUCKLAND (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Thursday The development of a radio communication system for civilian emergency purposes which could be brought into operation in an air raid or other form of attack is strongly urged by Aucklanders with experience or the value of radio under war conditions. They contend that portable radios
which could be rushed anywhere and set up in a moment were essential for the fire, ambulance, police and railway services. It is pointed out that on the staff of the Post and Telegraph and Railway Departments are many radio operators who could be formed into emergency communications groups. If more were wanted, hundreds of men outside official circles who held amateur radio licenses before the war could be recruited.
