The voice comes from an ingenious
reproducer perfected by CAA tech
nicians after a prolonged series of
tests with normal devices such as
wire tape and film. Until "Blabber-
mouth" scheme developed, other
methods were discarded because
tape and film eventually broke after
continuous use.
The problem was solved by manu-
facturers under contract with CAA
this way:
First, the voice is recorded on
film, similar to the sound track of
a movie. Then the film is stretched
over transparent plastic fixed to the
rim of wheel. When the wheel is
rotated slowly, light shines through
the film onto photo-electric cell
below.
The cell translates the variations
in light received into the voice of
"Blabbermouth." Since the film is
held rigidly in place, there is no
tendency for it to break.
Increased use of the device now
awaits two things. CAA says-pilot
acceptance and bigger and better
appropriations.

from shore stations 750 miles away
during the day and up to 1000 miles
away at night. BY 1908, the idea of
communication without wires caught
on and an international conference
was called to set up controls over the
increasing number of stations. In
1912, there were more than 1000 of
these plants in operation and Is years
later. almost 10000.
To many persons, Marconi is
known as the father of radio. Ac-
tually, any resemblance to Marconis
first wireless set and a modern
radio is accidental, both in practice
and theory. Marconi invented many
pieces of equipment which increased
the efficiency of wireless communica-
ton, but the principles which made
his transatlantic test possible were
known nine years before his birth.
But the young Italian certainly had
his share of "f1rsts." In 1898, at
home in Italy, he proved that these
wireless waves could be transmitted
and received over distance of one
mile, an unheard-of feat in labora-

These small signs of liberty shake
them from their apathy, making
them doubt the fiction of the Soviet
paradise and Western slavery.
'To live under the Soviet regime
signifies insensibility to communism"
Mr.. Klimov says. do you think a
French worker would still believe in
communism if he could see the
privileges Of the Soviet plutocracy
and if he knew that there are So
called Lux stores where the Com
munist state sells luxuries at such
high prices that only an extremely
small number of people can buy?
What would he say if he knew that
farmers-as I saw in 1946-had to
deliver a pound of grain to the state
for 3 kopecks and buy it back from
the state, in the so-called free mar
ket, for 30 rubles because they
couldn't retain enough bread for
themselves?
Political Necessity
''The French Communist doesn't
know, and he wouldn't believe these
things. But the Russian people
know. Therefore, Stain is obliged
to tell them that in Western coun-
tries the masses are exploited. The
iron curtain is not only a measure
against military espionage, it is
political necessity without which the

ment compensation law.
Mr.. Putnam Is the only person
ever to serve three terms as Mayor
Of Springfield. A Democrat, he was
elected Mayor first in 1887 and gave
up the job in 1943 to again enter
the Navy, this time as a lieutenant
commander. He took part in the
invasion of France in 1943 as
member of the staff of Rear Admiral
Alan G. Kirk, commander of the
Navy task force. AS lieutenant
commander, Admiral Kirk had been
Mr.. Putnam's boss at Indian Head
in World War I.
Aside from his mayoralty cam
paign, Mr.. Putnam made other ven-
lures into Massachusetts politics. He
was defeated for Governor in 1912
by the present Senator Saltonstall,
Republican. Four years later he
was beaten in a primary for lieu
tenant governor by the present Gov.
Dever. Mr. Putnam is a close friend
of Representative Mccormack. the
House majority leader.
No Interest in Politics
Unlike Price Director Michael v.
Disable, who will work under him
in the stabilization setup, Mr.. Put
nam says: II no longer have any
interest in politics" Mr.. Disable
says frankly he is considering run
ming either for Governor or Senator
in Ohio next year.
Mr.. Putnam admits that it is un-
usual for a person with his family
background of conservative Repub-
licaniSm to be a Democrat. He is
not only Democrat, but liberal
one, although he doesn't like the
way the word liberal" Is being used
these days. Furthermore, Mr.. Put
nam says he is great admirer Of
President Truman and favors most
of the Fair Deal policies. In fact,
he heatedly resigned from the Amer

up of New Dealers like Harold l..
Ickes, in the spring of 1948 when
the ADA was cropping around for
most anybody other than Harry
Truman" to be the Democratic presi-
Dental candidate that year.
Mr.. Putnam also claims another
distinction" He says he is one of
the few men who also "is a corpora
ton" An uncle, Percival Lowell. was
distinguished astronomer. He
established the Lowell Observatory at
Flagstaff, Ariz, and on his death Mr.
Putnam was named sole trustee of
the institution. He incorporated
for his own financial protection.
Like her husband, Mrs. Putnam
comes from a distinguished family
in Charles County, Md. She was the
former Carolina Piatt jenkins and a
direct descendant of Charles Car
roll, a signer of the Declaration of
independence.
The stabilization job marks the sec
ond time Mr.. Putnam has served in
Washington. He was director of the
Office of Contract Settlement after
the last war, engaged in cleaning up
arms production agreements. This
time he says he will be around only
six months. He told the President
he must get back to business affairs
at that time.

Dsoffected Russians Make Trouble for Stain in GERMANY

Russian soldier. we are your friends.
We know that you would want peace
and freedom and that you are
oppressed. Let us fight together as
allies for freedom against Stain and
his German mercenaries."
With this new attitude the alli-
ance has succeeded to a high degree
in influencing the German people in
the Red zone toward a closer COL
laboration between the oppressed on
both sides.
Mr.. Klimov believes that the pur-
pose of Stalin's foreign policy is to
make the people of the West hate
the Russians. who will then be welded
to their oppressors against the ene-
mics Of their homeland. In his opin-
ion. the success of the whole Russian
anti-Soviet activity and especially the
success Of Western propaganda de-
pends on the Western attitude. It

Tough In Russia. he discovered that
his mother had been sent to Siberia
because she had worked as a laun-
dress for the Germans and that his
brother had been condemned to 10
years IN a mine. When he went back
among the troops he began to talk.
When he was arrested he cried: Yes,

man was an exemplary member of
the Soviet body, who in war would
have died crying GLORY to Stalin!"
do you think he is an theological
enemy?" Klimov asked his friend.
And Andrei replied: I'VE consider
every one an theological enemy, the
people as whole. We arrest most
people without any direct reason in
order to intimidate the others. There
are millions who praise Stain and
appear to be confirmed Communists,
but we know they hate us from the
bottom of their hearts Give them a
passionate ideal and the entire
regime will explode"
Revised Issues
The Soviet position has worsened
In recent years. A revolutionary Or
ganization. the National Alliance of
Russian Solidarists, known by it's
Russian initials NTS, is busy in the
Soviet Union and the satellite coun-
tries, but especially in East Germany.
NTS has its own radio station and
newspapers, its secret distributors of
leaflets and articles and agents in
the Red army and bureaucracy. One
telling blow NTS strikes is the pub
lication of revised issues" of the Red
army newspaper. The first page
shows the text of the real edition, but
the inside sheets contain NTS in
formation. NTS also counterfeits
money, as shown below.
A plan now is under way to distrib-
ute a Russian edition of Mr.. Klimovs
book. and already NTS has sent
copies in plain wrapper to all the
members of the Soviet military ad-
ministration in Berlin. Recently NTS
addressed letter, copies of which
were dropped among the Red army.

ton troops in Eastern Germany, call

liberation troops against Stain. The

or of becoming famous.
Soviet Crockdown
The result of these operations is
clear. Soviet zone authorities have
decreed that any one found to be- in
possession of the book, Berlin Krem-
lin," will be liable to a penalty of is
years solitary confinement. Special
guards have been posted to watch for
NTS agents. Contact between Rus
slams and the German population is
strictly forbidden. And even char
women and laundresses have been
replaced by Russians.
Last May the Freedom Alliance of
German-Russian Friendship was
founded in Western Berlin. It's di-
recting committee is composed of
leading Russian and German oppo-
nents Of the Soviet regime. It's cam
paign is geared to Mr.. Klimov's line
that If German or American were to

Stain and address him as DIRTY

spanned by wireless telegraphy.
Scientific reaction was divided
sharply. Many physicists accepted
Marconis report without question
and hailed it as the forerunner of
greater achievements. The skeptics
refused to believe that an electrical
Impulse could travel such distances

American liner. he received messages
