Such bits of gossip are scarce, because the Soviet air force lives in strict seclusion; the bright blue shoulder boards of the Red airmen are seen only rarely by East zone Germans. Airmen and service troops are frequently moved from one airfield to another to prevent accurate estimates of their strength. There are also frequent exchanges of personnel between East Germany and the Soviet Union, so that as many pilots as possible may familiarize themselves with the terrain and weather conditions of Eastern and Central Europe...
...days, when crying Haro was more frequent (Tom's is only the eighth clameur to be raised since 1900), the penalty for losing a case was severe: 24 hours' confinement in the lowest dungeon of 14th Century Castle Cornet. The penalty nowadays is only a small fine. Twenty years ago, Alfred Machon was fined one shilling for a false clameur (TIME, March 3,1930). As Tom's case rested last week, however, the gloomier greybeards of Guernsey noted with interest that workmen were busy restoring the old castle's long-neglected dungeon...

First, there is no technique for avoiding conflicts in related fields; chairmen rarely confer with each other over schedules. Second, students have no systematic way of bringing clashes to the attention of department heads...
Truth for Ursula. There is plenty of evidence that, despite the jamming, the Voice is heard and heeded in Russia. Best evidence: the tremendously expensive jamming 'operation itself, along with the frequent Russian press attacks on the Voice. When Mrs. Kasenkina jumped to freedom from the Russian consulate in New York City (TIME, Aug. 23, 1948), U.S. diplomats found that the news ran through Moscow like a brush fire although no Russian broadcast or newspaper had mentioned it; only the Voice had carried the story...
