SCRIMGEOUR INCIDENT

« SUSPENSION CONFIRMED. A FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Confirmation’ of the suspension of Mr C. G. Scrimgeour, controller of the National Commercial Broadcasting Service, was announced yesterday by the Prime Minister, Mr Fraser. “It is correct that Mr Scrimgeour was suspended by Cabinet on Monday from his position as controller for disciplinary reasons,” said Mr Fraser. “Cabinet is now considering whether any further action is necessary.” As a result of recent developments, Mrs Scrimgeour has resigned from her position with the service. She inform- • ed the Press to this effect last night, after she had confirmed a report that she had been suspended yesterday morning from her position conducting the “Happiness Club” session. Mrs Scrimgeour said there had been further developments. In the afternoon she had been advised that she could take the session, but would have to record it, and then last evening she was further advised by the station director of 2ZB that she could take the , session as usual. In the circumstances, however, as the “Happiness Club” was non-political, and as Mr Scrimgeour had announced his intentioan to stand for Parliament, she had written out her resignation.
