REPORT BY PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 9.35 a.m.) CANBERRA. This Day. The report of a Parliamentary Committee on broadcasting in Australia, tabled in the House of Representatives today, praised the policy and activities of the Australian Broadcasting Commission, which had maintained a high sense of duty in the face of much unjustified criticism. Among recommendations made by the committee were that listeners’ fees should be restored to 21s, that all broadcasting stations should devote at least 2J per cent of their time to the works "of Australian composers, and that there should be restrictions on advertising from commercial stations, particularly in regard to patent medicines and preparations, and also on Sundays, when advertising should be restricted to sponsored programmes. The committee was divided on the question of the nationalisation of commercial stations.
