Chance Germans Will
Cut Ocean Cables
Also Says They Moy Try
To Disrupt Radio by
'Jumminq' Air Waves

Possibility that Germany may cut
the cables between England and the
United States and then try to dis
rupt radio communication between
the two countries by tanning" the
air waves was foreseen last night by
Gerald C. Gross, chief Of the Inter-
national Division of the Federal
Communications Commission.
Speaking before the National
Academy of Broadcasting, Mr.. Gross
said that Germany cut the cables
between England and France at the
beginning of the war and that those
across the Atlantic likewise could be
cut simply by pulling them up from
the ocean floor with a graphing
hook and saving them in two.
Theoretically, Germany could
liam" the air waves if it had enough
broadcasting stations but as a prac-
tical matter it would be almost i'm
possible because of the many differ
ent frequencies the English stations
could put into use, he said.
The reason neither of the bellig-
erents has interfered with the
others radio to date is the same
that has kept them from using

pointing out that both are weapons
that can be used by both sides.
'If things get bad, they may start
1t yet" he said.
Interference could be effected
only against stations that were
broadcasting considerable distance,
Mr.. Gross said. The tanks of the
German panzer divisions which
swept across France kept in perfect
communication with each other

On the basis of last years ranking
