U. S. Broadcasts to
Eastern Russia
‘Being Blacked Out
—
MANILA <£*)—Mysterious radio
transmitters have been blacking
out Voice of America broadcasts
destined for eastern Russia and
the Orient the past three weeks, it
was learned reliably today.
The jamming is so thorough and
so many transmitters are used that
experts here suspect some of them
may be aboard ships at sea.
American direction finders on
land and sea are trying to track
down the source of the interfer
ence.
Sources at General MacArthur’s
headquarters in Tokyo confirmed
the report. They said as far as they
know the jamming transmitters
have not yet been located.
The jamming begins when U. S.
Information service Russian lan
guage broadcasts from New York
start up. These are beamed for the
powerful U.S.I.S. radio station at
Malolos, 24 miles northwest of
Manila. Malolos then relays the
broadcasts on to the Orient. The
Malolos station has been in opera
tion since last September.
Geographic Society
Honors Aged Negro
CHIC\GO (/P)—An 82-year-old
Negro who stood with Rear Adm.
Robert E. Peary at the north pole
was awarded the gold medal of the
Geographic Society of Chicago
last night.
Matthew Alexander Henson, son
of an impoverished Maryland ten
ant farmer, first joined Peary in
1887. Peary then was a young
naval lieutenant and Henson sail-;
ed with him on an expedition to
survey a canal across Nicaragua.!
The Negro remained in the service
of the explorer for nearly 20
years.
He made his first trip to the
Arctic in 1891 with Peary and in
the next two decades learned to
speak numerous Eskimo dialects, *
became an expert hunter, and
adapted himself to withstand the
long treks in 71-below-zero Arctic
temperatures.
Henson previously was awarded
the Congressional medal of honor
for his Arctic exploits'. For the
last 12 years he has been living in
New York City on a pension from
the U. S. customs service.
Alaska's Game On
Down Grade
SEATTLE, </P)—Alaska’s game
supply is on the down g**ade and
needs additional protection, says
Charles Gillham. who has soent 12
years in the Territory as a biolo
gist with the department of inte
rior and the fish and wildlife
service.
“The caribou which formerly
roamed the tundra in c 'unties
numbers are way down,” Gillham
said in a Times interview. “The
mountain sheep are also falling off
badly. The moose and bear are
doing fairly well, but wait when
the hunting pressure really hits.”
Gillham said there were only
eight game agents to patrol 26,000
miles of coastline and 590,000
square miles of big-game country
in Alaska.
“The total money available for
patrol is $175,000 per year, which
must be appropriated by Con
gress,” he added. “In the district
around Fairbanks which is the
size of Texas, we have one agent,
and he must %over his section by
foot, boat and plane. We are hop
ing to get $400,000 from Congress
this year and $150,000 to fight
predators.”
Hypnotism Cures
U. S. Veteran
BALTIMORE, (JP)—A judge de
cided that hypnotism has brought
vrilbur Shattuck’s mind back to
America and 1948, after a series of
lapses in which the veteran
thought he was still fighting Japs
in the South Pacific.
Shattuck was also cleared of
charges thaj he stole a radio from
his boss last fall. Psychiatrists said
he believed he was carrying an
ammunition case—about the same
size as the radio—to his besieged
buddies on Bouganville Island.
Judge Joseph Sherbow was told
how Shattuck stumbled over im
aginary underbrush and slapped
at imaginary flies while under the
influence of hypnosis at a Veter
ans Administration hospital here.
Dr. Jacob H. Conn, court staff
member assigned to the Shattuck
cast last December, told how he
watched the sweating veteran re
live the horrors of war, adn de
scribe the death of a mortar squad
while he berated himself for not
bringing ammunition.
Yesterday Dr. Conn announced:
“He is now completely cured, your
honor. He is now ready to return
to work.”
