Hebrew-language broadcasts, beamed to Israel, will be inaugurated by the Voice of America late in April, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learned today. The short-wave transmissions, of a half-hour daily, will contain news, feature interviews and news commentaries, and will reach Israel in the evening hours.
The broadcasts will be audible only to those possessing short-wave receivers, it was learned. Dr. Sidney Glazer, who has been in the Middle East division of the Voice of Israel for the past three years, is the director of the Hebrew Division.
