Iowa Police Radio System Suspended From Interstate Use
The federal communications commission suspended Iowa's interstate police radio communication with other states. The move follows the state public safety department's failure to install telegraphic radio equipment bought months ago for 3400 dollars. Iowa plans to use voice only within state lines while telegraph channels remain unavailable for interstate use. Local safety commissioner Karl W. Fischer said the issue is being handled and a solution will be arranged. The suspension does not affect in-state operations.
