TO BE AMALGAMATED
BROADCASTING SERVICES NATIONAL & COMMERCIAL. IN ORDER TO RELEASE RADIO TECHNICIANS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. With the object, of releasing a maximum number of radio technicians, for more important war work, the War Cabinet, on the recommendation of the Minister in Charge of Broadcasting, Mr D. Wilson, has decided to amalgamate the technical branches of the national and commercial broadcasting services. Both men and equipment are affected and the decision made is expected to result in the release of a considerable number of men within the next five or six weeks. Mr J. R. Smith, at present Chief Engineer of the National Service, will in future be Chief Engineer of the combined technical services. The technical staff of the commercial service will be taken over. Consideration is being given to the elimination, for the duration ’of the war, of any and every superfluous function of broadcasting, which will result in a further release of manpower.
