Woodmansee's Addition, installation linked General Headquarters in Indianapolis with the Pendleton District over a 35-miie length, a link which was later to grow to more than 800 miles and include 35 stations. The first microwave system, connecting two points, employed a simple telephone setup. Later it was tested for facsimile service (pictures transmitted by radio) but this was discarded in favor of a teletype system.

By December 1960 all State Police districts and General Headquarters were linked together by the microwave system and provided both telephone and teletype communication The next and final part of the series will continue discussing the communications division. that had the advantage of noise-free transmission. AM base and mobile stations were phased out by the department and followed by conversion to FM in each state police district. The next 10 years brought more mobile units with many technical improvements in reception and closer management of the operations network, which now involved every major city and county police department. On Feb.

Nov. 7: Donald and Jeffrey Jewell EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the 11th in a 12-part series on the history of the Indiana State Police Department. This story discusses the communications division. After installation of the first Indiana State Police radio system in 1935, other law-enforcement agencies, encouraged by ISP achievements, began developing radio communications to enhance their own services. City and county police installed transmitters and made arrangements with the state police to relay their radio traffic.

In 1937 a Cw (continuous wave) network was using Morse Code for communication between state and local law-enforcement agencies. A good Cw operator could send and receive 40 to SO words a minute which helped to relieve the heavy load of voice transmission. The difficulty was that such skilled operators were rare. Nevertheless the Cw system soon provided contact with every state and hundreds of messages were sent throughout the country. This method was far cheaper than communication by commercial telephones and certainly faster.

Cw transmissions were monitored by several stations simultaneously. During the late 1930s and early 1940s Cw stations were added at Ligonier, Lafayette, Pendleton, Put-namville, Connersville, Dunes Park and Charlestown. The 2-way mobile radio made its appearance during World War II and, soon after the war ended, was in state police patrol cars. In 1947 the AM (Amplitude Modulation) radio systems in use at that time were made obsolete by a new and more reliable system known as FM (Frequency Modulation) NORMAN fired of a ujeaii am snouy TU signal?

i i HUNTERS CREEK Just west of Jackson-Lawrence County Line Hwy. 50 west of Brownstown (812) 834-5285 LETTER FROM GERMANY Hard Scene To Beat For the American- wishing to visit a very old but living place combined with beautiful scenery and much history, the hilltop town of Liverdun is very hard to beat. A scant 10 miles from Nancy, the splendid former capital of the dour province of Lorraine, Liverdun clutches desperately to a past, hanging over a cliff 500 feet above the Moselle just where that river makes a dramatic bend to begin a tranquil flow through a verdant but sorrowful valley scarred by the wars of a millenium. There are no great monuments here, and no historic giant ever resided here, though ever since Ivan Simunac opened his Restaurant des Vannes two generations ago, five sitting French presidents, a score of visiting heads of state, and hundreds of foreign ambassadors have trekked up the steep hill and passed through the 16th-century gate to dine behind Ivan's plate-glass windows that open on the view of the valley. A few even stayed for Mass in the 12th-Century church.

14th-century walls more or less protect Liverdun, but the tiny, twisting, and frighteningly steep streets do more to deter stray visitors than those massive walls. The appeal of Liverdun is its living quality. It is not an antique or a national monument. Dogs and cats and children play in the streets and the town square. Laundry flutters from windows and roof tops.

All seem to scatter as townsmen race their cars up the sinewy streets. Men bowl in front of the old church while awaiting the women and children at services inside. Lines form at the bakery, and the citizens seem ever surprised that visitors find their town remarkable. That's the only thing that surprises them, for they've seen just everything. A quarter of a century ago the Americans had an air base, Toul Rosieres, barely five miles away.

A century ago their province was annexed by the Germans; five centuries ago their nearby cathedral was stripped of rank and left largely abandoned. World Wars I and II raged all around them, and yet none of the tumult rose to their aerie. From the old Liverdun walls, life in the valley looks peaceful and slow-paced. Even the high-speed train from Nancy to Paris resembles a child's toy in a nursery. Sometimes the mists off the river shroud it so completely you feel you could walk down to it on wisp-like ladders of fog.

Sometimes, when the sunset is just right, the river is like a golden highway leading to paradise. And once when I asked an old man about ice on the hilly road being a problem, he admitted that it probably could be if you ever felt a need to go some place.
