NBC's ARMY RESERVE UNIT CALLED UP; ENTERS ACTIVE SERVICE MAY I
Thirtyfive NBC New York employees, members of the NBC-sponsored U.S. Army Reserve unit, will report for active military service May 1, and will proceed to Fort Riley, Kansas, shortly thereafter.
The NBC unit is a mobile radio broadcasting company which is part of a psychological warfare group. The commanding officer of the NBC detachment is Bill Buschgen (Captain, Sig C-USAR) of National Spot Sales.
The detachment has been a well-known activity around NBC ever since it was organized in November 1948« It has been sponsored by NBC through the Department of the Army's Industrial Affiliation Program. The regular bi-weekly meetings and drills have been held in NBC studios, and other facilities of the company have been made available to the unit.
In addition to Bill Buschgen, the other NBC people in the unit are: John O'Keefe, Pierre Boucheron, Edward Starr, Walter Ehrgott, Ronald Guzik, John Fengler, Stanley Zabka, Edward Murphy, Michael Stoppelman, George Stroub, Sam Kirshman, George Bill, Robert Zweck, Robert Rudick, Gerald Doyle, Leonard Giarraputo, Frank Mullen, James Byrne, L. Stewart MacGregory, Lester Dimond, Frank Weber, Allan Connal, Richard Lerner, Charles Beck, Kenneth Arber, Austin Smithers, William Burke, Alan Neuman, George Swisshelm, John Weir, Raymond Dillon, Lewis Brenner, Robert Barron and Warren Burmeister.
The reserve activities of the detachment have been supervised from the outset by Maj . Gen. George L. Van Deusen (Retired), President of RCA Institutes. The commanding officer of the psychological warfare group, of which the NBC detachment is a part, is Col. Ellsworth H. Gruber, of the New York Daily News.
Since the NBC unit is a mobile radio broadcasting company, a large number of the men in the unit will be doing work that will be essentially the same type as they have been doing in civilian life. The technical operations of the unit will include the preparation of broadcast material and the operation of broadcasting studio facilities and high power transmitters.
