RADIO AT CANBERRA

Vederal Parliament House, Canberra, New South Wales, has been equipped with a high-powered radio receiving set, capable of picking up all the Australian ond New Zealand stations. One wonders what items on the programmes Australian legislators will fancy most. It must be borne in mind that political speeches, on-which they thrive, are barred from all the A class stations, except in special circumstances. Religious broadcasts are very popular, but on Sundays, when these are coming over the air, the House will not be in session.
