BRITAIN'S broadcasting interception service, which picks up 250,000 words daily from radio stations in all parts of the world, is about to be remodelled to meet the growing demands on it from official quarters.

At present this service, operated for the Government by the B.B.C. at Ministry of Information expense, em- ploys four shifts of men and women, giving a complete 24-hour listening service.
Each shift consists of 10 "monitors or listeners, five suh- editors and a number of shorthand writers, typists and engineers, Daily they listen to 150 news bulletins in all langanges,
By pressing a button each listener can record the speech being received, and these records are inken by dispatch rider to any Government department which needs them.
