MUSICAL TASTE
Sir,-Much has been said and written about juvenile delinquency in general, and mainly to the effect that it is largely the result of trashy films and "pulp" publications. But the deplorable influence of pernicious and debasing recordings of the "Hit Parade" type does not seem to be considered. That a big section of misguided listeners should be catered for by the Broad¢asting Service in this respect, under the direction of a Minister who also holds the portfolio of Education, is a serious anomaly which has never been explained. Never before has The Listener published such an exposure of depraved musical taste as is revealed in the article "You Asked For It," in vour issue of Octeber 15.
