U.S. Russian Broadcasts
The United States will start daily Russian language broadcasts to Russia on February 17. The State Department announced that the editor will be a Russian-born American citizen. The United States has not officially informed Moscow of the project/ Britain, however, has been broadcasting similar programmes to Russia for more than a year, without encountering serious Russian reaction. —Washington, Feb. 2.
Crippled Freighter Docked. The crippled freighter Alaska docked at Cordova after an exciting 18 hours during which the ship ran aground, two holds were badly flooded, and she narrowly avoided sinking in Cordova harbour. Repairs will probably take four days. The passengers may remain aboard because there is insufficient accommodation at Cordova.—Seattle, Feb, 3.
