Probe Reveals Voice Details in Congressional Study
Washington June 34 Buried gold what the girls wear at Lake Placid and how to report lynchings to Russia all had a part today in the congressional study of the Voice of America. The Voice is the State Department radio program for world outreach and it faced House and Senate criticism as foolish and wrong. A House expenditures panel heard a script where two visitors go to West Point and a voice asks why gold is buried there and at Fort Knox. The reply says gangsters won’t be tempted to remove it, prompting rebuke from Chairman Chenoweth. Charles Thayer led the New York office witness, defending the piece as truthful. A Harlem scene shows white visitors amazed at seeing white people, and a voice explains Paul Robeson’s home as a social hub, drawing Chenoweth’s remark about Robeson’s controversial views. Thayer calls Robeson a great artist. Robeson says he will not bow to questions about communism even as a broadcast to Russia features a fingernail fad.
