Reporting on a four year study of modern scientific surveillance prof. Alan f. Westin of Colum Bia University warned that unless dealt with quickly the problem will outgrow our Capac Ity to apply  the study Analysed the implications of recent technical advances in wiretapping hidden radio1 monitors personality tests lie detectors and computerize Central data Banks. Westin concluded a Broa Drange of legislative judicial executive and private actions is needed now if american society techniques put privacy on the run is to protect privacy from the increasing pressures of  the study was sponsored bythe association of the bar of the City of new York and financed by the Carnegie corporation. Westin said even now tiny microphones and transmitters no bigger than buttons can turn a person into a walking radio Sta Tion. Long Range cameras radar and Light beams can make an Ordinary Home a transmitter broadcasting every word and act of the residents to secret observers. Westin predicted that the next development would be an elec tronic device which would hover 100 to 1,000 feet in the air and put an entire neighbourhood under sight Ancl sound surveillance. Such a device if confined to the air space above the user property probably would not Vio late any existing Law he said. Westin said an increasing num Ber of business firms agencies and other organizations Monitor their employees at work with cameras and microphones sometimes openly sometimes in secret. In a nationwide sampling of local Law enforcement agencies 80 per cent of those who replied acknowledged at least occasional wiretapping. Of these 30 percent said they used wiretaps whenever  classified Telephone directory in each of 86 major cities carried advertisements offering electronic eavesdropping and camera observation services. Most of the hardware Fortis physical surveillance is cheap readily available to the general Public easy to install and not illegal to own Westi commented. Westin said 47 per cent of 208nationally known corporations which responded to a question Naire were using personality tests. He said that the tests often go beyond the measurement of intelligence skills and aptitudes and seek to probe emotional states character traits social religious and political attitude Sand even sexual  in the Field of data surveil Lance Westin reported the trend toward greatly increase collection of personal data Exchange of this information among the collectors and consolidation of such personal information into Central data Bank represents by far the most Seri Ous threat of privacy in the com ing  Tion of signals off the Iono sphere. Nuclear explosions thigh Altitude can disrupt this Type of communications Formant hours. Low frequency of 30 to 300kilocyclesand very Low fre Quency Vlf 3 to 30 kilo cycles radio Waves do not depend on the ionosphere but Are transmitted from the ground even when coming from an air plane. Thus they Are not affected by nuclear blasts at High Altitude atomic fallout or meteorological disturb ances. The heart of the new systems two 1,230-foot Tower stations on 360-acre Sites nearing completion in the Mojave desert at Hawes calif., 100 Miles North East of los Angeles and at Sil ver Creek near grand Island,neb., 150 Miles West of Sac Headquarters at  stations have ranges of More than 2,500 Miles which Means that the Hawes site could communicate with ships far Outin the Pacific As Well As with missile Sites throughout the West. Two other towers Are being checked out at Westover air Force base mass., and barks Dale air Force base la., and Are to be turned Over to the Navy for installation at Aguada puerto Rico and Cape Charle Snear Norfolk a. Though the Navy uses Vlf for communication with submarines reportedly the new sys tem would be used primarily with surface shipping. Other uses the air Force said that while the new 487-l system will be available for emergency use it can also be used by the defens department As a general com Mand Channel and As a communications system in Reserve. The 200 receive Only Sites at missile silos and elsewhere willbe Able to receive messages simultaneously or independently from either of the tall towers or from similar but less powerful transmitters in Jet aircraft. Sac s 22nd air refuelling Squadron has been testing the airborne part in a series of flights Over the Mojave desert and Over the Pacific Ocean of the California coast. The test flights from March air Force base calif., used an ec135 electronics packed ver Sion of the Boeing kc135 Jet Tanker or the 707 commercial transports. The ec135 in flight trails an Antenna up to 28,500 feet Long. The Antenna and the spool on which it is wound weigh about3,000 pounds. The wire is trailed out for about two Miles for transmissions at 50 kilo cycles or five Miles for 18 pkg. The plane has transmitted teletype messages successfully to other aircraft and to ground stations at rates of 7, 60 or 100 words a minute. A special protective device has been installed to prevent damage from Light Ning strikes. Because Low frequency communications Are unsatisfactory for voice transmissions the sys tem uses moderate Speed Tele typewriters of a unique design.
