Sir-In connection with your excellent editorial of September 23, may I make a plea that we listeners may occasionally be "refreshed" by silence-on the part of broadcasting staff? Why must they always fill unprovided-for gaps, or coyer occasional technical mishaps, with noise, often of the most unsuitable choice? September 26 as I listened from 1YA to Mr, Ernest Jenner’s always delightful Broadcast to Schools (which has, needless to say, a wide adult audience), the air was suddenly rent by a noise like a pneumatic drill. No doubt the capricious tape-recotder can be blamed for that, but why launch without pause for mental adjustment into some inconsequential jazz which had no conceivable connection with the complicated rhythm Mr. Jenner was trying to demonstrate?
