RADIO LOG BOOK Listeners on the 31-metres band during the afternoons should not be disturbed if they hear an American voice broadcasting news of disaster to British air, naval, and ground forces. This comes from a German short wave station at Berlin. There are at least two Americans in the employ of the Nazis, pumping propaganda into U.S.A.

A small radiophone has been developed by the United States Forest Service. This measures 2in x 4in x I2in, and weighs Gov.. It operates on ultrahigh frequency ranging between 30,000 and 40,000 kilocycles, and .provides twoway communication covering optical range, which can be as much as 100 miles with suitable elevation. The transmitting portion of the set is crystalcontrolled, a system that is capable of maintaining accurate frequency. This system before had been used only in permanent stations or in bulky portable and mobile units. The radiophone should be a great boon to the forest fighters in the finding of the positions of fires.

The nerve war is not altogether one-sided. The 8.8. C. broadcasts to Germans a list of the factories, shipyards, rail junctions, and other targets of the R.A.F. It concluded : “ If the Nazis won’t give you air raid warnings you must be your own air raid wardens. We shall attack only military objectives. If the Nazis think war production more important than your lives, you must protect yourselves. Leave your work and go to air raid shelters as soon as the British planes arrive.” The Germans heard it, as the authorities broadcast a warning that they would “ render harmless by most drastic means ” anyone found listening to such propaganda.

Irving (Berlin, the Russian or Polish Jew who is one of America’s most popular composers, has produced a national song, ‘ God Bless America.’ He wrote it diiring the last war, but put it aside. After the Munich affair he modernised the words and had it broadcast. Then his own publishing company issued it and it achieved wide popularity. So that it would not bo “ phirrged to death.” Berlin placed restrictions on the number of times it could be broadcast. and on the type of combination that could play it. It must not be

crooned, fox-trottod. or swung. The composer has signed over all royalties and profits on ‘ God Bless America ’ to the Boy Scouts and Girl The soirn is being used by both Willkie and (Roosevelt supporters in the Presidential campaign.
