Private Radiophones In
A PUBLIC radio - telephone service between ordinary sub scribers in Port Moresby, Lae and Madang came into operation on March 1. Rabaul and Samarai will be included in the net as soon as the installation of equipment is completed.
Subscribers in Port Moresby are able to use the service from their own telephones; but for the present, Lae and Madang sub scribers will have to lodge their calls from a special post office booth.
The conversations are technically “scrambled” so that it is impossible for private radio listeners to eaves drop on other subscribers’ conversa tions.
Mile. Menard, until recently secretary to the French Resident Commissioner of the Condominium Government at Vila, was in Sydney in February, en route to Indo-China.
