HELPING BRITAIN TO NAIL LIES BROADCAST FROM GERMANY
By A Radio Correspondent
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, oporated 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 sub- editors and a number of shorthand writers, typists and engineers. Daily they listen to 150 news bulletins ini all Innguages.
By pressing a button each listener can record the speech being received; and these records are taken by dispatch rider to any Government department which needs them.
