NEWS ABOUT CONVOYS
Alleged Leakage In U.S. (Rec. 9.45 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. Some radio announcers have been tipping-off enemy submarines, according to reports received by the Federal Communications Commission. “One announcer is alleged to have in-foi-med the enemy of convoy movements from America by dedicating songs to the crews of certain vessels and another is alleged to have used an open code by jumbling prices in radio advertisements and by deliberate, systematic grammatical errors,” said Mr James Fly, chairman of the commission, testifying to the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee. Mr Fly emphasized the necessity of investigating the personnel of international and foreign language stations in the United States. The New York Times says the Federal Government is expected to take over next week all 14 American shortwave stations for official overseas broadcasts. It will use them for “psychological warfare.” One-third of the broadcasting time will be devoted to South America and the rest to overseas.
