LIVERPOOL RADIO FAN HEARS CAMBRIDGE POLICE CALLS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Next time a student has a bag stolen from his car and reports it to the police, he may have the consolation that if the thief has had the time to get all the way to Liverpool, England, he will not be out of range of the Cambridge Police Department as far as the radio goes, anyway.

For Chief Timothy F. Leahy received a letter yesterday from Liverpool which read in part:

"I have pleasure in reporting the reception of your radio station on October 23 at 6:32 P. M. Greenwich meridian time. The message was 'Cambridge Police calling car 23'."

6:32 o'clock Greenwich time would be just before the time the Dartmouth game was starting here. Chief Leahy will reply by mail. It is expected that if the message concerns a Harvard man, he will remind the Englishman that Harvard is "like unto a daughter to" Cambridge University.
