RUSSIA JAMS MALIK'S SPEECH TRYING TO JAM VOICE OF AMERICA
The State Department reported last week that Russia, in try¬ ing to drown out the "Voice of America", jammed a speech by its own U. N. delegate Jacob Malik August 25.
The Russians have been carrying on a jamming campaign against the United States official broadcasts for more than a year, but officials say a substantial part still get through the Iron Cur¬ tain.
The reported Moscow interference with Mr. Malik's speech was during a meeting of the Security Council.
The State Department said that the regular Polish language transmission on August 2 5 was interrupted to make way for a U.N. broed^cast of the proceedings, over the same frequency.
The Soviet jamming opened up full blast when Mr. Malik, as Chairman, was making a speech in Russian. The squeals and howls con¬ tinued steadily for half an hour, with the result that not only Mr. Malik's speech in Russian was blanked but also the translations into English and French.
The State Department said Moscow evidently assumed the broadcast was a Voice program in Russian beamed at Soviet listeners.
The State Department in another release reported that Moscow is using "at least 1000" jamming transmitters. Listening posts abroad have identified the location of 250 powerful, long-range Soviet trans¬ mitters that alloxir an average of only 30 per cent of the Voice's pro¬ grams to penetrate into the Soviet Union.
The Russians also have developed a smaller "local" trans¬ mitter that beams squeals, howls and "wolf calls" at the United States broadcasts. Most of these, estimated to number 750, are located in the Moscow area.
