Plastered over billboards, on the face of a thousand campaign posters, repeated many times daily over radio and television, this catchy play-on-words has caught the voters' attention. Asked to define a "power politician," Collins called him "one interested in helping himself rather than the city, who has a big campaign chest, and who in the final days of the campaign will try to submerge the issues under a flood of newspaper advertisements and radio-television appearances...
Augmenting Radio Free Europe broadcasts with American classical music and sending a cross-section of American literature behind the Iron Curtain were other suggestions made by the group...
Cloud on the horizon, no bigger than a boatswain's hand, as the sun rises on a new era in underwater communication: if radio waves can penetrate water to communicate with submarines, they may eventually be usable with different instrumentation for detection of submarines, which are now immune from anything but surface sighting and chance encounters with short-range sound devices...
...year history of radio, man has learned to send signals over mountains, across oceans, and up to the moon and back. But the search for a radio that could transmit signals beneath the water's surface was sterner. To receive messages in World War II, subs had to surface or poke up the antenna-bearing periscope and risk detection. Last week word leaked that the U.S. Navy has whipped this underwater communications problem...
When it goes on the air in January 1961, the new station will operate on a very low frequency band (14 to 30 kilocycles), sending out radio waves up to one mile long audible to surface ships and shore stations around the world. It may be utilized experimentally to try out the new Tepee scatter-back system for detecting missile firings in Russia. But specifically, it should be capable of sending orders to subs operating under the surface of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. The Navy says that the signals will reach "deep down." Best estimate is that they...
