USE OF TELEVISION
BY NEW YORK POLICE AID IN FINDING PERSONS MISSING (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.45 a.m.) LONDON, September 30. From next Sunday, the New York Police Force will use television as an aid in finding 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 the use of television would mobilise the 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 and try to memorise faces. Now they will see the required picture at intervals throughout the day.
