It is possible that he will devote
an entire program to Far East
ern students at NU. He has not
decided yet.
In addition, these interviews,
which will be used on Soldevilla's
program in English, will be made
available to the Japanese and
Korean desks. These desks may
translate the interviews, using
actors to portray the students, and
broadcast them in the language
of these countries. The interviews
may be used in full, or excerpts
may be drawn from them to sup
plement other information.
The major activity of the Voice
is the "campaign of truth." The
camnaien reaches all over the
world. 24 hours every day of the
year. The programs are broadcast
in 46 languages. In most countries
there is an English listening audi
ence as well as those who listen
to the broadcasts in their native
language.
Voice programs are of two
types, the shortwave and pack
age programs. The shortwave
programs are started in New
York, carried across the nation
to San Francisco by telephone
wires, converted to shortwave
and boosted through Honolulu
and Manila. Manila gives the
program the final boost to its
listeners. Shortwave constitutes
80 per cent of the Voice efforts,
Soldevilla estimates.
The trackage programs are re
corded on tape and shipped by
air freight to tne proaacasung
stations in the Far East. There
thev are nlaved by U.S. embassy
officials or, more frequently, Dy
networks in the country.
MHK. the Japanese Broadcast
ing Corporation, picks up and re
cords shortwave programs which
are played back over the voice
Of America Hour once a week.
In this way, Soldevilla reports,
two audiences are reached.
The producer of the show
need not understand a word
that the foreign language broad
casters are saying, Soldevilla
says. The producer makes up
the program from a format. Is
there a chance that some propa
ganda could be "put trer" n
the producer? No, he states.
All broadcasts are monitored
before they are broadcast and
as they are being broadcast.
Soldevilla, who was graduated
here in 1943, taught radio at NU
from March. 1946 to Aug., 1947.
He received his master's degree in
radio from Northwestern in 1947
and taught radio at Temple in
Philadelphia. He started with the
Voice in 1951.

Mrs. Dorothy Diaz, chairman of the Young Democrats,
released the following statement to The Daily Nebraskan
Thursday:
"'It has been reported in The Daily Nebraskan that
Lincoln Republicans and the campus GOP are uniting to
form a car pool on election cay.
Residents who lack transportation
to polls have been urged to take
advantage of this facility.
"The Young Democrats request
that those responsible for this un- in the drive to 'Get Out the Vote

Section S2-1128 of the State Cor
rupt Practices Act, which reads
as follows:
" 'Section S2-1128. Conveying
voters to polls by candidates or
committee forbidden; exception;
penalty. It . shall be unlawful for
any candidate or committee to run
or cause to be run any conveyance
for the purpose of conveying vot
ers to the polls, and any person
violating the provisions f this!
section, shall, upon conviction
thereof, be fined in the sum of $50,
or imprisoned in the county jail
for not less than 30 days; pro
vided, nothing in this section shall
be construed to interfere with
conveying sick or disabled persons
who are not able without assist
ance to attend the election.' "
Mrs. Diai continued, "We felt
that it was only Christian char
ity to hring this to their atten
tion, since we assume that the
election laws are enforced in
this state as stringently as the
bingo laws."
In defense of the campaign,
Max Harding, organizational di
rector for Young Republican clubs
in Nebraska, said, "The Young
GOP's are conducting a telephone
campaign to vrge as many voters
as possible to register and to get
out and vote. It at the time of the
telephone call, old or disabled per
sons request transportation to the
polls, the Young Republicans will
provide it. The campaign is not
being held to urge voters to vote
for any particular candidate.
Harding added, "The Young
GOP's are not employees of any
specific candidate, nor do they
constitute a committee for any
specific candidate. Any charge
against the Young GOP's is as
ridiculous as a charge against
the 'Get Out the Vote' campaign
of the Lincoln Junior Chamber
of Commerce."
Dean Kratz, Assistant Attorney
General, advised the Daily Me
DN To Test New
Circulation Method
Plans for a new method of dis
tribution of Daily Nebraskans on
campus were announced Thursday
by Ken Keller, director of Univer
sity Public Relations, and Ed
Berg, Nebraskan circulation man
ager. The new plan is to insure more
equitable distribution of the pa
pers, Berg said.
"The idea Is," Berg added, "to
deliver all papers to the vari
ous boxes of the buildings on
Ag and city campus, and to
make no more direct deliveries
to organized houses. In this way
we feel everyone will have the
same opportunity to pick up a
paper after their classes."
There will be a trial period to
see how efficient the new system
will be.

pretty clean sweep among the
peoples we call civilized, except
for the last day in October. Hallo

For Friday night this writer
predicts a visit to the museum.
A million bucks will be spent
for costumes of witches, goblins
and ghosts. Another million or
more will go for theater tickets
to spook shows. Haunted houses
will be sought and visited in the

landscapes altered. Cities across
