MANILA (AP)—Mysterious radio transmitters have been blacking out Voice of America broadcasts destined for eastern Russia and the Orient the past three weeks, it was learned reliably today.
The jamming is so thorough and so many transmitters are used that experts here suspect some of them may be aboard ships at sea.
American direction finders on land and sea are trying to track down the source of the interference.
Sources at General MacArthur's headquarters in Tokyo confirmed the report. They said as far as they know the jamming transmitters have not yet been located.
The jamming begins when U. S. Information service Russian language broadcasts from New York start up. These are beamed for the powerful U.S.I.S. radio station at Malolos, 24 miles northwest of Manila. Malolos then relays the broadcasts on to the Orient. The Malolos station has been in operation since last September.
