ELEMENT OF VARIETY NEEDED IN PROGRAMMES PREMIER ON ACTION TAKEN IN AUCKLAND (By Telegraph—Press Association. ) WELLINGTON, This Day. “The director has to get the most interesting material and make some changes in the speakers and performers when necessary. In the finish, the director has to be the judge of the material and the speakers, too,” said the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon M. J. Savage, when referring in an interview on Saturday to the recent action of the Director of Broadcasting, Professor- J. Shelley, in informing station IZM, Auckland, that no further talks were to be given by Mr A. E. Robinson, secretary of the Auckland provincial branch of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union, without specific approval from the National Broadcasting Service. “We must not make one man an institution on the air. That is all- there is' in it,” Mr Savage said. “We want the best in lectures over the air as well as in music, and we do not want the same people all the time. ‘ The director and those in charge of the service have to be the judges. It is. not a question of restricting freedom of speech at all. Representatives of farmers, as well as of other sections of the community, will always be welcome to send in scripts.”
