TOURIN'
THE RADIO WORLD
... By ISAAC JONES
THIS WRITER HAD the oppnr-
tunity to visit London. K.ngland.
Tuesday night.... not by Clipper
plane, shiv, or private plane,...
hut thru the medium of shortwave
radio ...and believe me you, of all
the pretious visits so foreign lands,
that 1 have told you about... .this
was the most enjoyable one. It was
!* pm. Detroit time....and 3 am.
1/ondons time....when we arrived
in the Rritish eapltol. Although,
tlie sound of planes could be heard
overhead.... iif mv ears heard
right) the first Impression of my
imaginary visit to this "war-torn
t a pitot” of the Old world was that
"bombs may rain from the sky....
causing many to die....the lights
may be dim... .0r.... .out... .but
night life continue without a
doubt." Now to get down to the
real fncts about this London visit..
Quiz." with tile man in the street..

you know....we have them here
t 00.... remember Ty Tyson quiz
zing people on his program?? One
of the announcers was stationed in
London’s famous Hyde Park....
and the other in another section of
tile city. The first question each
person was asked wa5...." What
you think about The War, and lias
It Affected You?" Most of these
inti rvlewed agreed that the war
was progressing satisfactory, and
it had affect*’d them nil in various
manners. Said one visitor In Lon*
don from * uth Africa; "We are
winning with our hands down.”
Replied another: "I would like to
sin larger scale of fighting on the
Herman Cities." A couple touring
London's Hyde Park on bicycles nt
that wee hour of the morning gave
their views on the war In the fol
lowing manner (At least the indy
did) "Russia are chine the Har
mans just what they asked for.”
Following this broadcast... .and
coming from London at the 0:30
hour, was an All Request Program
for Americans. Rv the way,...you
have heard that unique radio pro
