Tito looks exactly as in his profile photographs, well known in America: he is of medium (5 ft. 8 in.) but athletic build, with a lifted head, rather blond, grey eyes and bushy eyebrows and the finely chiseled face of an American Indian.

Uncomfortably Close. Tokyo Rose's voice is wafted over the Aleutians and the South Pacific on a stronger, clearer signal than any provided by U.S. radio. She can usually be heard around 8 p.m. daily, Australian time, short or medium wave, on a 65-minute show designed for U.S. armed forces in the South Pacific. Her specialties, assisted by a male announcer who sounds not unlike Elmer Davis, are News from the American Home Front and the jazzical Zero Hour.
