The system would make possible the communication of specific instructions to crowds on streets as well a a general alarm during an emer-i gency.

i One of New York City's FMJ stations would have to frequency a supersorucally-con- troited FM receiver, which would operate each loudspeaker. Sixteen huge amplifiers, such tnose used on carriers, would make the basis of the system with smaller speakers located about each of them. The -two main difficulties to obstruct such a system, according to authorities, is the great expense involved and the fact that wartime studies of sound propagation have been made useless by the construction of many- new buildings and the tearing down of some old ones.
