ZEPPELIN RAIDS
WAR TIME commander. SERIES OF RADIO TALKS IN ENGLAND. OBJECTIONS' RAISED. .. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received May 18, 8.30 a.m. LONDON, May 17. There is a storm of controversy over the British 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 seventy 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 Rt. Hon. G. Locker-Lampson. Admiral Mark Kerr, Commander-in-Chief of the Adriatic Squadron in 1916-17, hopes that Captain Breithaupt will confine himself to the condemnation of air faida involving the loss of civilian life. Tho corporation’s only reply to oblectors is: “Switch off if you do not like the talk.”
