Haw-Haw's Dodge

Berlin's broadcasts to the U.S. being in general too dull for any but the beeriest Bundsman, Goebbels & Co. have tried various publicity dodges (such as paying for collect cablegrams) to stir up interest. Fortnight ago CBS's short-wave listening station heard Lord Haw-Haw introduced; then a voice said, in German, "Switch that off." Later it was announced to America that Haw-Haw had been "banned from the air." But England continued to hear His Lordship on his usual schedule. Last week Lord Haw-Haw explained that he had been "banned" not by Germany but by the major U.S. networks, which refused to rebroadcast his stuff. No U.S. network rebroadcasts the official propaganda of any belligerent.
