ZEPPELIN RAIDS.
e RADIO TALK BY GERMAN COMMANDER. CONTROVERSY IN BRITAIN. fUNITBD PRESS ASSOCIATION —B7 ELEtXRIC TEt.'EGHAI'H —COPYRIGHT.) LONDON, May 17. There is a storm of controversy over the Broadcasting Corporation's proposal to permit a series of 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 responsible for killing our -women and children should be given facilities for telling the British public how he did it," says a member of the House of Commons, Commander O. Locker-Lampson. Admiral Mark Kerr hopes that Captain Breithaupt will confine himself to a condemnation of air raidß involving tho loss of civilian life. Tho Corporation's only reply to the objectors is: Switch off if you do not like the talk.
