2 Voice Transmifters
By The Associutsd Press

The State Department yester-
day Cancelled contracts for build
ing radio transmitters for the
Voice Of America near Whining
ton, N. C.. and Port Angeles,
Wash.
Plans for erecting the $40
million transmitters, to be the
worlds most powerful. had been
under heavy fire in the Sen
ate Investigations subcommittee,
headed by Senator Mccarthy,
Republican, of Wisconsin.
Senator Mccarthy has con-
tended that selection of the sites
looked like part Of a deliberate
sabotage attempt. Engineers
testified the locations would
make the facilities vulnerable
to atmospheric interference.
Mccarthy Praises Action.
Senator Mccarthy hailed the
cancellation as showing "the
new administration is taking
hold in excellent fashion to bring
order out Of the chaos which
has existed so long in the plan
ming and engineering section"
He said authorities should have
cancelled the contracts a year
ago land saved millions of dol
lars for the taxpayers"
The contracts were suspended
February II, but in the mean
time substantial maintenance
costs were still being incurred.
COnSuIts With Experts.
Outright termination was or
dered by DR.. Robert L. Johnson,
new chief of the international
Information Administration,
after consulting Voice advisory
committees and technical ex-
pertS.
An announcement said he has

time it would not be justifiable

Athletics, predicts the Milwaukee
Braves will lose money in 1854.

But the second year they'll have
to pay the bills themselves. It
won't go good in Milwaukee
after the novelty wears Off"
Mack spent four of his IS years
In professional baseball in Mil
waukee. He was part owner and
manager of the Milwaukee team

Troy'sCe||ar Team

The Lions are expected to
have tough going in the Eastern
Hockey League playoffs opening
next week. but they have one
consolation. They won't have
to meet Troy.
Troy, the cellar-dweller of the
fve-team league, is the only
team not in the playoffs. How
ever, the Lions have had more
trouble with the Trojans than
any other team. That 5-4 VIC
tory by the Trojans before 1857
fans last night at Uline Arena
was their sixth in a row over
the Lions and gave them a 9-3-1
record over Washington, still
tied with New Haven for third
place.

regular home schedule and wind
up the season at Springfield to-
night and play those pesky Tro-
jams again tomorrow night at
Troy.
The playoffs will have Spring.

If the Lions finish third, they'll
open at Springfield Tuesday night
and play again Thursday night
at Uline. If they finish fourth,
they'll open against Johnstown
at Uline Wednesday night. New
Haven plays Troy tonight and
JohnStown tomorrow night in it's
