PAGE THREE ) E FOR AUTOMOBILES BFRFIETJTV, CbI. flTPl The youth ful electrical wizard who equipped Berkeley's "scientific police depart ment" with radio and who provided 33 launches, ground station and tow ering plera of the San pranclwo Oakland Bay bridge with padlo tele phones believes It wont be long until automobile radiophones are common place. He la 33-year-old D. Reginald Ttb betta, who designed and Installed tor f the bay bridge engineering companies four complete high-frequency radio telephone systems. Head by Experts He explained bis projects to the nation's foremost electrical author ities recently at the 25th convention of the American Institute of Electri cal Engineers In Salt Lake City. Six years ago. at 16. ha provided Berke ley's police department with the first police radio system. He did the Job In tl me ta ke n from h 1 gh sch ool studies. A runner-up In the Edison Intelli gence competition. Tlboetts tells in terviewers: "There's really nothing to It," as he spins the dials of his com pact radio-telephone. The telephone employs standard re ceivers and transmitters connected to a box resembling an ordinary radio receiving set. Special tubes and oth er standard equipment complete the tintt. Six foot aluminum rods are the antenna. The radio telephones oper ate on a 4 to 6 meter wave length, compared to the 500 to 1500 meter wave lengths used by broadcasting stations. Licensing Trouble Difficulty arose over licensing 800 , people who would have used the 22 bridge phone seta. The Issue was compromised after 234 had passed sx amlnatlona for federal rndlo operators licenses. Candidate memorized an swers and answered other technical questions In some such manner: "I would pull the switch and call the office." Tlbbetta now la the only licensed operator. Prom his shop, he can tune , In any of the sets and suggest alter ation of wave lengths or other ad justments for clearer transmission. Ko Grain Market PORTLAND.

DUBLIN (TJP) Smugglers on the uneasy border between the Irish Tree State and Northern Ireland are prom ised a hot time of It as a result of an Intensive drive which the Free StAte government la likely to launch against them soon. The drive waa foreshadowed when the Free State custom authorities purchased, 16 chawr automobiles to patrol the whole frontier from Car Ungford Lough In the east to Lough Foyle on the northern coast. In times past the customs "flying squads" wars equipped with nothing speedier than bicycles, while many smugglers owned fast automobiles. Smugglers, who enter the Free State from the north by forbidden routes, now are faced with the pros pect of being chased by customs squads In cars quite as fast as their own. Smuggling across the northern frontier la believed to have Increased considerably In the past year, largely owing to the hl?her duties imposM by both the Free State and Great Britain In the course of the Anglo- Irish trade war. Northern Ireland is included In the United Kingdom customs area, and has consequently developed into a Dase lor smuggling operatlona over the Free State border. Illicit cattle-running from the Irish Free State Into Northern Ireland has also greatly Increased In recent months owing to the high duties Im posed by the British government on came from the Free State. .
