HE semi-Government control of broadeasting in. Britain (by the British Broadcasting Corporation) is causing much dissatisfaction among listeners as well as the corporation's: staff. A London journal says: "Wellinformed opinion in broadcasting circles is doubtful whether Captain Hekersley (the corporation’s chief engineer) will tolerate the corporation much longer. The ever-popular chief engineer at Savoy Hill is being subject to increasing restrictions in several directions and pressure is not far from burstingpoint. If Captain P.P. does chuck in his hand, there will be real fireworks. The Press and public will get some first-hand news of what goes on in the inner councils of Savoy Hill (the heaiquarters of the corporation). From all sceounts, Commander Daniels’ revelations would be surpassed. There is, in(eed, a rumour that a well-known Lopi(lon daily recently approached Captain Eckersley. He would not, of: course, recept an offer of this kind, at least ot yet."
