What the once of War Informa-
ton needs is a good five syllable
Annamese.
Also a couple Of fan letters from
Japan.
The Annamese would fill the only
outstanding gap in linguistic line
up which rivals anything to 60 on
the air since the Tower OF Babel
signed of. Annamese live in French
1ndo-China, but they don't neces-
sarily speak French
The owl has corralled persons
who can speak Annoy and Assimese,
Tagalog and Thai, Mandarin and
Malayan and even English-with
81 varieties Of accent.
This string OF takers is busy
every day, broadcasting under OWL
sponsorship in 80 or so languages
to every part Of the world.
No Annamese to Be Had.
But the owl hasn't been able to
find an Annamese, which means
that from 6 to 600 natives of French
Indo- China, may be sitting around
listening to the Jap broadcasts in
stead Of ours. The Japs do have
an Annamese.
The exact number of natives of
French Indo- China who might be
listening to our broadcasts if we
had an Annamese is not known to
the owl. In fact, no one here has
any Idea who, If any one. is listening
nor where, II anywhere.
There are a few minor obstacles

in the way of conducting radio
popularity polls in Sumatra or Po-

A couple of letters from Japan
might clear up some of the mystery.
There is well-founded suspicion
at present that the Owl is merely
carrying on a trans-Pacific tete-
a-tete with the Jap Propagands
Ministry.
Only Jap Monitors Tune in.
The possibility that not more than
go persons in the whole of Japan
and these all government monitors
listen to the thousands of words
which pour out of this country is
admitted by Owl officials. Some
optimists think as many as 200
monitors hear our broadcasts.
But every one is sure that practi-
cally no citizens Of Nippon are tun-
ing us in. The Japanese, aside from
making it prison offense to listen
to foreign radio, have taken the
added precaution of denying their
people the necessary short-wave
equipment.
!. IF we have 10 influential cit
liens in Japan who hear us, the
money we spend is worth while, y
an Owl official explains.
THE fact that these 10 people
would take the risk of listening
would indicate they were extremely
sympathetic. They would spread
the information they picked up and
that would be just like having 10
secret agents in Japan"
The Owl has had all kinds of
