THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, - STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
'Radio`---
(Continued from page four)
looked in America during the
past • year's war memorial cele
brations (we figured she meant
that America intentionally did so
in its peace propaganda cam
paigns).
"The United States declared
war on Spain in 1898," she went
on to say (she even knows Amer
ican history, we figured).
She then told of "horrible".
attrocities American soldiers in
flicted on the people of Cuba and
the "poor" Spanish soldiers. We
then came to the conclusion that
this was not an American radio
station. Indeed, we discovered it
to be RADIO MOSCOW!
A male American-sounding
voice then came in to tell us of
the 130,000 men the United States
has lost in the Korean war thus
far: (Grabbing our latest edition
of the Collegian, we discovered
the latest casualty list recorded
65,523 killed, wounded, and miss
ing).
The dilly that really sent us
into the aisles went like this:
"Blood plasma sent to Korea
is yielding millions in profits for
Wall Street tycoons."
After,quickly telling her to
;`come of it," we heard a medley
"of "Columbia the Gem of the
Ocean," and "Over There." This
we also got a large charge from.
The only way to save Ameri
can lives. we learned, is to sur
render. We alsb discovered from
our Moscow informer that thou
sands of American citizens are
sending telegrams to President
Truman to "call our boys back
home before they are all killed."
These "facts" should prove of
great value to us when we get
drafted in June.
Several "letters from American
soldiers held by the Chinese"
were read. These were real clas
sics!
One said that the Chinese Com
munists were the best fighters
and were the best companions a
man could hope to find. It went
on to say that the Reds treat all
their prisoners with friendship
and equality. Somehow we could
not forget how our pool room
buddy was found with his hands
tied behind his back and a Com
munist rifle slug in the back of
his head.
Yeah, radio is a wonderful
thing—you can shut it off when
screwballs like that get on the
air.
