PROTEST
Sir,-I wish to enter a protest against the manner in which the listening public have to submit to the, elimination of the BBC Newsreel, scheduled for 6.45 p.m., in favour of the description of a football match on the other side of the world. I have no desire to suggest that the listeners who follow the details of football matches and other contests be deprived of an opportunity to do so, but that opportunity should not be at the expense of other listeners: who wish to know what is happening in more serious matters, as expressed in the Newsreel. There would appear to be no reason why the sports talk should not be put over at some other time in the evening.
HANDS OFF THE NEWSREEL
