ISOLATED CAPITAL
WARSAW! TO-DAY POOR CONTACTS WITH OUTSIDE WORLD (Rec. 11 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 30. A year after liberation, Poland’s capital is still the most isolated in the world, says the Associated Press Warsaw correspondent. The Embassies have been without aeroplane contact with other countries for as much as three weeks at a time. There is no direct radio contact either to the east or to the west, and the only, single line of the telegraph system operating is to Moscow, Prague, and Budapest, On this there is an average transmission time of 12 days. Diplomats and Press correspondents are obliged to depend on aircraft for mail. Persistent fog in Warsaw often makes landings and take-offs impossible. Government officials are hopeful that there will be normal communications from January 1, when the American Radio Corporation expects to put Poland in direct contact with London and New York, having replaced radio facilities destroyed by the Nazis.
