Winchell didn't send code (or, at least if he did, it was in code). He had a bug next to his right hand, and he would, for dramatic effect, slap it around a bit.

The costumes were a brilliant idea! Really added spice to the scene.

Hearing the code on TV reminded me of Walter Winchell back in the 50's.
During his broadcast he would send code. It was fascinating. More info here:

I couldn't copy code then so I don't know if he was sending real text or
not, maybe someone can comment on that.
