WELLINGTON, Nov.' 6. Arrangements are being uiade by which small craft, includiug dinghys, which get into clifficulties or become lost off the Wellington coastline ixl thick or rough weather, may be located by radar searcli. Organisation on these lines is being completed because it is felt that had such facilities been available when a dinghy was recently lost off Ohiro Bay, the boat might have heen located. Specially designed for the work, a mobile radar set will be maintained at the Dominion physical laboratory, Gracefield. The police wfll have means of communicating at very short notice with the technical personnel who will man this equipment. It will have twoway radio to keep'in communication with the Wellington Oentral Police Station.
