Zur Erinnerung Mit dem am 10. Oktober verstorbenen Mitre­ dakteur der >Mitteilungen< verlor der Studien­ kreis Rundfunk und Geschichte einen seiner Gründungsväter. Zu dem Colloquium Ge­ schichte des Rundfunks, zu dem Wilhelm Treue gemeinsam mit Helmut Hammer­ schmidt am Rande des Historikertages in Freiburg i. Br. im Oktober 1967 eingeladen hatte, war Walter Först uneingeladen er­ schienen. Die auf seiten der Veranstalter er­ kennbare Irritation räumte er mit dem zupak­ kenden Bekenntnis aus, ohne die Einbezie­ hung verantwortlicher Mitarbeiter aus den Walter Först Rundfunkanstalten sehe er für die wissen­ 1920- 1993 schaftliche Beschäftigung mit dem Medium wenig Chancen. Wie recht hatte er damals mit einem solchem Statement; denn die wenig­ sten Anstalten waren zu jenem Zeitpunkt dem Aufruf des Intendanten des Süddeutschen Rundfunks, Hans Bausch, als Vorsitzendem der Historischen Kommission der ARD gefolgt, Referate zur Rundfunkgeschichte einzurichten. Wer zu geschichtlichen Fragen des Rundfunks arbeiten wollte, fand damals noch in den wenigsten Anstalten einen Ansprechpartner. Meine zeitlich folgende nächste persönliche Begegnung mit Walter Först fand sechs Jahre später im September 1973 in Berlin bei der vierten Jahres­ tagung des 1969 gegründeten Studienkreises Rundfunk und Geschichte statt; von der Mitgliederversammlung wurde ich damals zum ersten Mal in den Vorstand gewählt. Damals hörte ich von Walter Först, daß er den Studien­ kreis auf Dauer angelegt sah, als Mittler zwischen den Interessenten der Rundfunkgeschichte und den Anstalten, aber auch, daß dieser entschieden »kein Jubiläumskreis sei, der wieder auseinander geht«. Das meinte er auch als Kommentar im 50. Jahr des Rundfunks in Deutschland zum Beschluß, gegen den Widerstand von Hans Bausch, die Historische Kommission der ARD wieder aufzulösen. Zu jenem Zeitpunkt amtierte Walter Först bereits seit 1971 als Schriftführer des Vereins. Er wurde in der ersten Vorstandssitzung, an der ich am 20. März 1974 in Mainz in der »Favorite« teilnehmen durfte, zu dem für mich wichtigsten Gesprächspartner. Die Aufforderung, rundfunkgeschichtlich re­ levante Nachrichten und Berichte aus der Vereinsarbeit an die Redaktion von >Rundfunk und Fernsehen< zu geben, hatte mich zu der Frage veranlaßt, warum der Verein keinen Mut zu eigenen Mitteilungen habe. Walter Först griff den Gedanken zupackend auf und das Ergebnis ist evident: Im Oktober des gleichen Jahres erschien Nr. 1 der >Mitteilungen<. Von den Teilnehmern jenes für mich denkwürdigen Vorstandstreffens in meiner Heimatstadt müssen wir inzwischen Wilhelm Treue, Walter Bruch und Ludwig Kroll mit Walter Först als Tote beklagen. Doch Ansgar Diller, Harald Heckmann, Winfried B. Lerg und Werner Schwipps werden sich noch erinnern, wie ln memoriam Walter Först hartnäckig Walter Först sich für den Start unserer Zeitschrift engagierte. Daß sie wurde, was sie in inzwischen 19 Jahrgängen wurde, bleibt vor allem sein Verdienst. Wieviel wäre zu solcher Aussage zu erinnern und auszuführen: Die Proto­ kolle unserer Vorstandssitzungen geben dafür nur einen ganz unvollständi• gen Beleg; denn Schriftführer war und blieb bis zum Ende der neunten Wahl­ periode im Herbst des Jahres 1987, bis zur Wahl von Wolf Bierbach zu sei­ nem Nachfolger, Walter Först selbst. Er arbeitete stets ergebnisorientiert und so belegen die Protokolle selten den Gang einer Diskussion, schon gar nicht den Anteil Walter Försts selbst. Wir, die Überlebenden, aber wissen, wie oft wir bei hochfliegenden Plänen oder fruchtbaren Diskussionen über Metho­ denfragen von ihm an das Nächstliegende erinnert, in die unausweichliche Planungsarbeit für ein bevorstehendes Colloquium, eine Jahrestagung zu­ rückgeholt wurden. Und wir Überlebenden unter den Mitredakteuren und Mitarbeitern wissen, wie wir in die Pflicht genommen wurden zu schreiben, zu kommentieren, zu rezensieren oder zu berichten! Dabei lernte ich die Profes­ sionalität des Redakteurs schätzen, denn kein Manuskript genügte Walter Försts Qualitätsanspruch. Zupackend redigierte er, wie selbstverständlich setzte er die Einsichtsfähigkeit und Toleranz der Autoren voraus, offen mar­ kierte er von ihm gesehene Defizienzen nicht nur sprachlich, sondern auch in­ haltlich. Jedes neue Heft war vom Inhaltsverzeichnis bis zur letzten Besprechung von ihm redigiert. Er wußte durch sein Beispiel zu motivieren und nicht zuletzt auch die bei weitem überwiegende Mehrzahl der Mitarbeiter zur Pünktlichkeit zu erziehen. Daß über viele Jahre die Hefte der >Mittei­ lungen< zum Beginn eines Quartals vorlagen, war seiner Gabe, zu mahnen wie seinem stupenden Fleiß zu danken. Dabei kam dem verantwortlichen Redakteur der Rat und die Unterstützung zugute, die Sieglinde Stüben in der Landesredaktion des WDR ihm immer erbrachte, gerade auch dann, wenn Försts Engagement überpointierten Ausdruck gefunden hatte. Walter Först arbeitete als Schriftführer mit dem Gründungsvorsitzenden Wilhelm Treue bis 1983 zusammen. Seide verband gegenseitiger Respekt vor der historiegraphischen Leistung des Kollegen, aber auch die Freude an der Entdeckung von jüngeren Begabungen. Sie verständigten sich in ein­ drucksvoller Effektivität auch in schwierigen Situationen. Über viele Jahre sa­ hen und sprachen sie sich nahezu wöchentlich, wenn Wilhelm Treue nach seiner Arbeit im Bankhaus Oppenheim und Cie. die Landesredaktion auf­ suchte. Die Vereinsarbeit war ein Stück Leben für beide, der Studienkreis Ausdruck einer Selbstverpflichtung zur Vermittlung von wissenschaftlichen Arbeitsbeziehungen, die weit über die Rundfunkgeschichte im engeren Sinne hinausreichte. Von 1983 an durfte ich für zwei Wahlperioden in der Nachfolge von Wil­ helm Treue mit dem Schriftführer Walter Först unmittelbar zusammenarbei­ ten. Da es für mich keine regelmäßigen Termine in Köln gab, verabredeten wir uns in dichter Folge oft auch in Sonn, in Andernach oder am privaten Wohnort. So oft es möglich war, organisierten wir gemeinsame Anreisen zu Vorstandssitzungen. Wie fruchtbar war unser Austausch, wie selbstverständ• lich entwickelten sich Projekte und Vorhaben und wie zupackend kommen­ tierte Walter Först die jeweils jüngste Korrespondenz. ln den Jahren der Zu­ sammenarbeit mit ihm erwuchs eine meiner engsten freundschaftlichen Be- ln memoriam Walter Först Ziehungen. Bei aller ihm gemäßen Distanz zu privaten Bezügen, bei aller Verschlossenheit gegenüber persönlichen Befindlichkeiten bewies er mir gegenüber offene Solidarität. Walter Först war für mich immer ansprechbar und er verweigerte nie einen guten Rat. Er wußte zu ermutigen und zu er­ muntern, natürlich vor allem, wenn es um eine gemeinsame Arbeit ging, aber durchaus auch in persönlichen Fragen. So karg das auch formuliert wurde: er wußte gelegentlich sogar zu loben. Walter Först war für viele von uns das Vorbild beeindruckender Arbeits­ disziplin, eines unbedingten Einsatzes für die als wichtig bezeichneten

  • Former Women Members “I’M No Lady, I’M a Member of Congress”
    ★ PART ONE ★ Former Women Members “I’m No Lady, I’m a Member of Congress” women pioneers on capitol hill, 1917–1934 Great triumphs and historic firsts highlight women’s initial foray into national political office. Four years after Jeannette Rankin was elected to the House of Representatives in 1916, women won the right to vote nationally, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Rebecca Felton of Georgia became the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate in 1922. That same year, Alice Robertson of Oklahoma became the first woman to preside over the House of Representatives. In 1923, Representative Mae Ella Nolan of California became the first woman to chair a congressional committee. Two other women followed her lead, including Mary Norton of New Jersey, the first woman elected from the East Coast, who would chair four House committees during her quarter-century career. In 1932, Hattie Caraway became the first woman elected to the Senate. Several other women attained prominent committee positions, including Representative Florence Prag Kahn of California, the first woman to serve on the powerful Appropriations Committee. Nevertheless, women were still a distinct minority of the 435 House Members; at their peak during this period, nine served in the 71st Congress (1929–1931). They lacked the power to focus congressional attention on the issues that were important to them. Jeannette Rankin of Montana, a suffragist and peace activist, was the first woman to serve in Congress. painting by sharon sprung, 2004, collection of the u.s. house of representatives Without seniority, and facing institutional prejudices, the early Congress- women viewed leadership positions as an elusive quest.

  • Significant Dates International Shortwave Propaganda Broadcast
    Page 1 of 25 Significant Dates International Shortwave Propaganda Broadcast 1921 The earliest documented licensed shortwave broadcaster from the United State began as a 1921 “garage gimmick” of engineer Frank Conrad, evolving into Westinghouse- operated station 8XK (also 8XS and later W8XK), using a 40-kW transmitter in east Pittsburgh used to relay KDKA programming. 1922 Radio Moscow established a transmitter station RV-1 in the Moscow region. 1923 General Electric builds shortwave stations W2XAD and W2XAF in Schenectady, New York. 1923 With the encouragement of the US Navy, RCA setup a broadcasting station in China called Radio Corporation of China, RCC. It was not a radio station run by Chinese citizens and was shut down by the Northern Chinese warlords before 1927. 1924 Crosley’s W8XAL (originally 8XAL and eventually WLWO) first went on the air as an experimental station using 10-kW with a non-directional antenna. 1925 March Radio broadcasting began in Japan. They soon opened relay stations in Liaotung in 1925, Korea in 1927 and Taiwan in 1931. 1925 NBC/RCA began shortwave programming using a 25-kW transmitter in Bound Brook, N.J., with the call sign W3XAL. 1926 The League of Nations passed a resolution preventing nations from making radio broadcasts which might have a political religious or spiritual content damaging to international relations. 1926 February JOAK (Tokyo Central Broadcasting) began shortwave transmissions to amateur radio hams overseas, asking them to write in if they had received the transmissions, which were made on 30 and 35 meters shortwave. These transmissions were principally directed towards Australia and the West Coast of the United States.

  • Britain and Germany Were Locked in an All-Out Propaganda
    THE 1930S HAD ALSO SEEN THE INCEPTION OF FM BROADCASTING IN THE SHORTWAVE BANDS. AS TODAY, FM SIGNALS WERE FREE FROM STATIC, AND OF HIGHER FIDELITY. IN THE EARLY 1940S, THESE STATIONS WERE ALLOWED TO EXPERIMENT ON 11 METERS, THE "APEX" BAND A; IT WAS CALLED. MANY STATIONS BECAME ACTIVE IN THIS BAND. LOCALLY, W9XTC, MINNEAPOLIS, SIMULCAST WTCN-1280. IN 1940 THE FCC PERMITTED COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING ON SHORTWAVE FOR THE FIRST TIME. WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT, IT ALSO PROMULGATED A REG- ULATION REQUIRING THAT "A LICENSEE OF AN INTERNATIONAL BROADCAST STATION SHALL RENDER ONLY AN INTERNATIONAL BROADCAST SERVICE WHICH WILL REFLECT THE CULTURE OF THIS COUNTRY AND WHICH WILL PROMOTE INTERNATIONAL GOODWILL, UNDERSTANDING AND COOPERATION." THE BROADCASTING INDUSTRY, THE PRESS, AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION RAILED AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL, BRANDING IT A VIOLATION OF FREE SPEECH AND BASIC DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES, AND—MORE IMPORTANTLY TO THE INDUSTRY—A PERCEIVED STEP ALONG THE ROAD TO CENSORSHIP AND GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF DOMESTIC BROADCASTING. THIS WAS ONE OF THE INDUSTRY'S CONSTANT FEARS. THE VOICE OF AMERICA WAS BORN OFFICIALLY ON FEBRUARY 5, 1942. IT TRACES ITS HISTORY TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE OFFICE OF THE COORDINATOR OF INFORMATION BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IN JULY 1941 AND THE APPOINTMENT OF WALL STREET ATTORNEY WILLIAM "WILD BILL" DONOVAN TO THE POST. XMIT------PROP, DISINF-CLANDESTINE-SABOTAGE RCV-------INTELLIGENCE, WAR COMMUN THE PROLIFERATION OF OFFICES ENGAGED IN VARIOUS GOVERNMENTAL INFORMATION ACTIVITIES AT THE TIME, AND THE ABSENCE OF ANY CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE COORDINATING FUNCTION WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT, MADE DONOVAN’S JOB HIGHLY DESIRABLE.
