WAR-TIME RAIDS
ZEPPELIN COMMANDER’S STORY CONTROVERSY OVER BROADCAST LONDON, May 17. There is a storm of controversy over the 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 70 men, women, and children, and injuring 1518. “ I do not see why a person who was responsible for killing our women and children should be given facilities for tolling the British public how he did it,” says Commander Locker-Lampson,. M.P. Admiral Mark Kerr said he hoped that Captain Breithaupt would confine himself to a condemnation of air raids involving the loss of civilian life. The corporation’s only reply to the objectors is: “Switch off if you do not like the talk.”
