BROWNIE'S
Service Station, Clinton
heard Mondays and Tuesdays at 8.45
pan, EDST as commentator • in the
BBC short-wave programme, known
as Headline News and Views.
He is the man who scooped Wend-
ell Willkie in England on February 4,
and next day broadcast his message
to the Germany people. He was boy-
ishly pleased with having got away
with an exclusive under the very
noses of all the Pressmen, It was
certainly not bad going for a man
who, right up to the outbreak of war,
had had a purely academic career.
Lindley Maenaughton Fraser was
born in Edinburgh in 1904, the son
of the late Rev. Norman Fraser. A
classical education culminated in his
winning a Classical Exhibition at
Balliol College, Oxford, where he was
also President of the Union, From
Oxford he went to Princeton, U.S.A„
with a Visiting Fellowship in 1926-7,
and journeyed on from there to the
Brookings Institute, 'Washington,
D.C. and took his PhD. The follow-
ing year he took his (Word M.A.,
and from 1935 till December 1939 he
was Professor of Political Economy
at Aberdeen.
No man, however, looks less like a
Professor, He is an outdoor type—
burly, genial, with tawny, crinkly
hair, and a zest for the life around
hint, Indeed, since joining the BBC
in February 1940 he has dropped the
title Professor, and confesses to hav-
ing 'forgotten all about economics.
He has become absorbed instead, in
broadcasting news commentaries to
the German people. It is dangerous
to suggest to hint, however, that he
is the opposite number of Lord Haw
Haw!
One of Lindley Fraser's claims to
distinction is that he is a grand-
nephew of Dr. Joseph Beli, the fain-
ous Edinburg surgeon, from whose
personality and methods Conan Doy-
le drew the inspiration of Sherlock
Holmes. With Canada he has a close
ink, for in 1932 he married Elspet
Mackenzie, who is the daughter, of
Dr. Ridley Mackenzie of. Montreal
and the .grand -niece. of the late
Lord Meuntstephen.
