And Station KFI is playing an im- portant part in this public service. It’s a three-way cooperative job. The United States Weather Bureau staff at Burbank makes the temperature and trend forecasts— and with surprising accuracy it may be said. The weather facts are inter- preted in the light of agricultural use or crop-hazard by members of the Los An- geles County staff of the Agricultural Ex- tension Service. Then this information is relayed to Station KFI for broadcast by the Noon Farm Reporter. During the season when frost is a hazard a preliminary forecast is given at noon, and then a close-up of what may be expected is given at eight o’clock by Floyd D. Young. It’s a service highly valued by citrus, avocado, truck crop and other agri- cultural industries of the southland.

  • Ich Bin Ein Berliner: Beyond Jelly Doughnuts DEBRA PARCELL
    Ich Bin ein Berliner: Beyond Jelly Doughnuts DEBRA PARCELL Abstract Delivered in the midst of the Cold Wa.r; John F. Kennedy's brief speech in front of the Berlin Wall proclaimed solidarity with the German people._Although the final words of the speech, "!ch bin ein Berliner", could theoretically have been interpreted to mean "I am a jelly dough­ nut", the crowds in attendance understood precisely his meaning. This paper will examine the background of the speech, Kennedy's reaction to the Berlin wall, and the authenticity of his sentiments, while discrediting the myth of misinterpretation. The significance of this speech lies in providing credibility with Berliners that would allow Kennedy to argue for coex­ istence with the Communists, and defusing potentially volatile East-West animosities, rather than debate over German syntax and jelly doughnuts. "For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder." This line from Paul's second letter to the church at Corinth is used as a curious opening line in der Spiegel's June 26, 1963 article on JFK's recent visit to Germany and his impassioned speech in Berlin. Delivered by Kenne­ dy in the midst of the Cold War as thousands of Germans thronged the streets to listen, it pro­ claimed solidarity with the German people as he stated, "all free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin ..

Krause A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Konrad H. Jarausch Christopher R. Browning Klaus W. Larres Susan Dabney Pennybacker Donald M. Reid Benjamin Waterhouse © 2015 Scott H. Krause ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Scott H. Krause: Outpost of Freedom: A German-American Network’s Campaign to bring Cold War Democracy to West Berlin, 1933-66 (under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) This study explores Berlin’s sudden transformation from the capital of Nazi Germany to bastion of democracy in the Cold War. This project has unearthed how this remarkable development resulted from a transatlantic campaign by liberal American occupation officials, and returned émigrés, or remigrés, of the Marxist Social Democratic Party (SPD). This informal network derived from members of “Neu Beginnen” in American exile. Concentrated in wartime Manhattan, their identity as German socialists remained remarkably durable despite the Nazi persecution they faced and their often-Jewish background. Through their experiences in New Deal America, these self-professed “revolutionary socialists” came to emphasize “anti- totalitarianism,” making them suspicious of Stalinism. Serving in the OSS, leftists such as Hans Hirschfeld forged friendships with American left-wing liberals. These experiences connected a wider network of remigrés and occupiers by forming an epistemic community in postwar Berlin. They recast Berlin’s ruins as “Outpost of Freedom” in the Cold War.

  • The Berlin Radio War: Broadcasting in Cold War Berlin and the Shaping of Political Culture in Divided Germany, 1945- 1961
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE BERLIN RADIO WAR: BROADCASTING IN COLD WAR BERLIN AND THE SHAPING OF POLITICAL CULTURE IN DIVIDED GERMANY, 1945- 1961 Nicholas J. Schlosser, Ph.D. 2008 Dissertation Directed By: Professor Jeffrey Herf, Department of History This dissertation explores how German radio journalists shaped political culture in the two postwar Germanys. Specifically, it examines the development of broadcast news reporting in Berlin during the first sixteen years of the Cold War, focusing on the reporters attached to the American sponsored station RIAS 1 Berlin and the radio stations of the German Democratic Republic. During this period, radio stations on both sides of the Iron Curtain waged a media war in which they fought to define the major events of the early Cold War. The tension between objectivity and partisanship in both East and West Berlin came to define this radio war. Radio stations constantly negotiated this tension in an attempt to encourage listeners to adopt a specific political worldview and forge a bond between broadcaster and listener. Whereas East German broadcasters ultimately eschewed objectivity in favor of partisan news reporting defined by Marxist- Leninist ideology, RIAS attempted to combine factual reporting with concerted efforts to undermine the legitimacy of the German Democratic Republic. The study contributes to a number of fields of study. First, I contribute to scholarship that has examined the nature, development, and influence of political culture. 1 Radio in the American Sector Related to this, the study considers how political ideas were received and understood by listeners. This work also adds to a growing field of scholarship that goes beyond examining the institutional histories of Germany’s broadcasters and analyzes how German broadcasters influenced society itself.

Lewis Schmidt Initial interview date: October 17, 1991 Copyright 1998 ADST Q: This is Lew Schmidt interviewing Bob Lochner at DACOR House on October 17, 1991. Bob you have had a very interesting lifetime and a rather unusual background so I wish you would just start by giving us some background as to where you were born, what your education was, how you got to Germany in the first place, and then you just take it from there. When I have questions, I will stop you. Biosketch LOCHNER: I was born in 1918 in New York and went to Germany at the age of five because my dad became chief of the AP office in Berlin. He wisely sent me to a German school. There was an American school in Berlin at the time and most of the children of the then small colony in the twenties of diplomats, businessmen, educators went to this American school. I knew most of them and none of them ever really learned decent German. So I grew up bilingually and stayed in Berlin through the Abitur, which is a little more than the end of high school. Then I went back to the University of Chicago where I got my B.A. and MA. In 1941 I started at NBC short-wave where I worked through the war.
