Davis and Rockefeller
Urge International
|Newscasfs After War
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
Elmer Davis, director of the
Office of War Information, and
Nelson Rockefeller. co-ordinator OF
inter-American affairs. today urged
continued American international
broadcasting after the war for the
distribution Of American news and
expansion of the good neighbor
policy.
Testifying at a Federal Com
munications Commission hearing,
Mr.. Davis said short-wave broad
casts undoubtedly would be con-
tinued by other nations. and added:
TT is generally held, I believe,
that our national interest will be
served by much wider dissemina-
ton of American news throughout
the world than was known before
the war.
Wire Services Plan Expansion.
"Our press associations, which win
have the responsibility for this when
the war is over, and indeed increas-
ingly so in its later stages, are MAX
ing preparations for wide exten-
sion Of their services abroad.
"OWI's wartime experience has
shown conclusively that he most ef-
ficient and speedy method for trans
mission Of news to considerable
number of overseas outlets stimuli
taneously is around-the-clo Morse
broadcasting-a conclusion evidently
reached also by the British Reuters
Agency, which has a powerful bat
terry of transmitters used exclusively
for distribution of news In Morse"
Mr.. Davis said he agreed with q
Radio Technical Planning Board
recommendation, which he said he
understood would be submitted at
the hearing, that 56 frequencies be
allotted for American international
broadcasting. He added that If it
were found this was too many, some
of the frequencies could be reas-
signed.
U. S. Broadcasts Popular.
Mr.. Rockefeller said that before
Pearl Harbor short-wave radio pro-
grams from Germany, Japan and
England were far more numerous
