was factor in keeping the Japa-

of the Philippines, Arthur Feldman
Blue Network correspondent, re-
ported today.
Before the correspondents en-
barked from New Guinea, Mr.. Field
man said, they spent hours making
recordings of undated featurizeo
newscasts to be played during thei,
absence at their regular broadcast
periods.
These broadcasts were transmitted
to American networks during the
period of more than a week when
the correspondents actually were
aboard ships in the huge Philip
pines-bound convoy.
This ruse prevented Jap moni-
tors in Western Dutch New Guinea
who listen regularly to the New

which beams broadcasts to the net
works in America, from learning
of the correspondents absence .
