“GHOST VOICE”

APPEARANCE ON 8.8. C. INTERJECTIONS DURING PROGRAMME INTRUDER A GERMAN (Roc.. 1.30 p.m.) London, Oct. 13 Brit., hers who for weeks have enjoyed the joke of the “ghost voice” cutting in on Axis broadcasting to-night had their own ghost when the cultured tones of a deep voice interjected during a programme for the forces. “Don’t listen to the 8.8. C. Wa don’t want this National Government.” The programme continued obviously in ignorance of the interjections which went on “Do you know how much money Churchill gets from the Germans? He lost you an empire. Throw Churchill out,” then later, “we are being swindled, led up the garden path and sold to America. We don’t want the American Government. We want a people’s government.’' Derogatory remarks about Mr Anthony Eden followed, then comments about food supplies. NEWS BULLETIN “CRASHED” In a broadcast interview a woman was asked. "How do you like service i life?" The intruder replied. “Nasty, rotten, horrible." The intruder faded out to a faint background just before 9 p.m. but reappeared to “crash” the 9 j < clock news. Comment after the announcement that furthei Dominion troops had arrived in Britain was, “Poor fellows, they no longer want to fight for Britain ” I • 8.8 (' ha no doubts that the intruder was a German. The 8.8. C. 1 so far has not intruded on German programmes. but has an apparatus powerful enough for reprisals.—U.P.A,
