A plan to maintain radio contact with the public without enabling enemy bombers to use the broadcasts as homing beams was outlined to broadcasters by government officials today in a closed session It was part of a mobilization program at the annual convention of the National Association of Ra dio and Television Broadcasters. Plans Classified Details of the plan were labelled classified. However, defense offi cials have disclosed that a key point in their overall planning is to prevent enemy planes from using electromagnetic radiation — including radio broadcasts —as navigation aids. With modern electronics devices, planes can use the signals of a ra dio station in normal operation to pinpoint the location of the craft in the air.
