WAR IN THE AIR
EUROPEAN RADIO STATIONS
ANTI-HITLER PROPAG AND A PARIS, July 28. War in the air has broken -out over Europe. It began last week. A Russian station was broadcasting propaganda in German when the powerful German transmitter at Nanen deliberately jammed it. So, at any rate, Moscow declares. And it announced that, from August 1. seven Soviet stations, staffed by expelled' anti-Hitlerites will begin to broadcast propaganda in German simultaneously, so that interruption of reception will be impossible. At thb same time it is slated that tho French Secret Service has frustrated a plot by five men to blow up Luxembourg and Strasbourg broadcasting stations with dynamite.
This followed the announcement that tho German Minister of Propaganda had requested all German, stations to protest against what he termed “poisoned news’’ from “a station in Franco,’’ which is taken to refer cither .to Strasbourg or Luxembourg, both of which radiate a programme in French and German. Luxembourg is tho black sheep- of Europe's ether. It has no business to lie 'on its present wavelength of 1191 metres, but its excuse is that it is “testing.” Using power of more than 200 kw., if- is able to swamp the whole of eastern Europe with its programmes.
