Radio Belgrano of Buenos Aires, where it has been an established feature
for more than a decade.

THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
It has been observed that the Esso Reporter,newscast, containing
news from the United Press wire service, is no longer transmitted over
-- Discontinuance of the Esso Reporter service was apparently effective
as of October 1. It was first noticed when Radio Belgrano, Buenos Aires,
broadcasting in Spanish to Argentina, supplanted its usual Esso Reporter
newscast at 10:00 P.M. (Argentine time) with "News from 'APA,' 'Agencia
Periodistica Argentina,' and wire dispatches from 'International News
Service' and 'France Presse.'"
news was handled by "El Reporter Esso'l from radio stations outside
Argentina.
The change apparently follows in the wake of attacks directed .
against the Esso Reporter for its handling of news pertaining to the
September 28 military revolt, especially the manner in which the revolt,
The broadcasts have been carefully checked since then, and so Aar the
Esso Reporter, which for years consisted of news supplied by United Press,
but which now regularly features news from APA, INS, and AFP, has not been
reinstituted..
