AIR RAID TALKS.
RADIO CONTROVERSY. i Zepp. Officer Who Killed Women And Children. INDIGNATION AT HOME. (Unibeu P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, May 17. There is a storm of controversy over the Broadcasting Corporation's proposal to permit a series of hazard radio talks by Captain Johann Breithaupt, commander of one of the Zeppelins which raided London in 1915, killing 70 men, women and children and injuring 128. "I do not see why a person who was responsible for killing our women and children should be given facilities for telling the British public how he did it," says Commander Locker-Lampson, M.P. (Con., Ladywood, Birmingham). Admiral Mark Kerr hopes that Captain Breithaupt will confine himself to a condemnation of air raids involving I loss of civilian life. The corporation's only reply to objectors is: "Switch off if you do not like the talk.' .
