"Eyes Picked Out Of A 15 Minute Talk"
To the Editér, Sir,-I was surprised to read in the Inst issue of the "Radio Record" that Mr. M, F. Cock accused your paper of stealing his thunder and plagiarising his work. The point that I cannot under: stand is how in the world you people were able to guess what he was going to say in his talk. If he was good enough to sehd you his MSS for comment then he has no kick coming. If he did not, then I suppose the same source is open for you. to get notes that he himself gathered his material from-ji.e., historical books. TI have read the offending paragraph and find it took me exactly 75 seconds. Mr. Cock was billed to speak for 15 minutes, and if the eyes of his lecturette can be picked out in 75 seconds my sympathies are with the listeners who had to listen to the remaining 134 minutes.-I am, etc.,
AMUSED.
Wellington.
