Moscow should stop jamming Western radio broadcasts to the Soviet Union, a Soviet commentator said Thursday in the government newspaper Izvestia. Alexander Bovin, a senior political observer, said he hoped the time of jamming was coming to an end because the Soviet Union could put forward convincing arguments on most issues to counter Western views and need no longer jam the broadcasts. Western diplomats in Moscow say the Soviet Union stopped blocking broadcasts by the British Broadcasting Corp. earlier this year, but has generally continued jamming other Western radio broadcasts.
