for two years. She was in San Francisco to=day waging a personal feud with Tokyo Rose over the shortwave radio. Carmen's six daily broadcasts composed of music and comment are directed principally to her people in the Philippines and the Filipino soldiers fighting under Gen. Douglas MacArthur. s o o BUT THE fanmail coming in from all over the Pacific proves she is the first effective’ ‘compet!tion the U. S. has offered the notorious record player in the enemy capital—Tokyo Rose. The boys listen to Tokyo Rose, Carmen says, because “they like

to hear good music and a woman's |

voice.” Carmen said she had heard the famous Japanese siren a few times over the guerrilla radio. “She is nice in a disagreeable sort of way. o o n BUT MOST of the secret Filipino radios have always been tuned to KGEI—now KGEX—in San Francisco. “we used to listen to the newscasts by Mariano, the Filipino OWI announcer. Some of the ‘mews I would take down in shorthand to print in our underground papers.”

“Imagine how thrilling it is for |

me now to be working on the same program with Mariano,” ex= claimed Carmen. She doesn't yet

realize that she herself is be- |
