BY the Asseeioted Prass

The United States Is asking the
Soviet Union to stop the jammine
OF Voice OF America broadcasts
destined for Eastern Russian and
the Orient.
The State Department announced
yesterday that it is instructing Am
basssdor Walter Bedell Smith at
Moscow to request Soviet govern
ment to take effective remedial
measures"
The announcement was made
after reports from Manila told OF
mysterious radio transmitters that
have been blacking out the Ameri-
can broadcasts during the last three
weeks.
Unusual Interference.
A State Department statement
said:
Since the end Of February, re-
ports have been reaching the de-
partment Of unusual interference or
its radio relay of the Voice Of
America broadcasts in the Fal
Eastern) area. These reports indi'
cate that the interference is con-
centrated during the period when
the departments relay system /.
carrying the Russian language pro.
gram beamed to the Far East ovel
its Manila and Honolulu relay
stations.
The department is calling the
attention Of the Soviet government
to these circumstances and is in.
structing Ambassador Smith to re.
quest that effective remedial meas
ures be taken"
It was not clear from the informa.
ton available here whether the
jamming is done because of q desire
/ to prevent the information in thu
broadcasts from reaching Far East
ern listeners or whether the inter.
fering transmitters object to the ust
of various frequencies for the Voice
of America programs.
