Soldiers in Pacific will hear Series

Washington (UP) –
World Series games will be broadcast shortwave, in condensed form, to servicemen in Australia and Southwest Pacific Islands, the American Red Cross announced today.

The shortwave broadcasts will be recorded in Australia and sent out over 12 stations of the Australian Broadcasting Commission. Shortwave facilities will carry the games to men in distant outposts.

The Office of War Information will condense the play-by-play accounts into 45-minute records for transmission across the Pacific by Station KWID, San Francisco. Even men on duty during the broadcasts will have a chance to hear the games from records made by the Red Cross.
