At Weardale there has been con- tinuous snow for thirteen days.

ANGRIFF'S POINTED THRUST Broadcasting

JEWISH WOMEN'S SECTION LEADER ANNOYED

New York, March 12. The exchanges of compliments beween Mayo La Guardia and the German press since the former addressed a women's meeting and referred to Chancellor Hitler as a brown-shirted" fana- tle are daily growing more and more heated and have already led to reciprocal protests by the German and United States Governments, but though there has been much official frowning the Americans are getting quite a good laugh out of the incident.

Mayor La Guardia's description of Herr Hite as a brown-shirted fanatic was outmatched when Hitler's paper "Angriff" described the water who attended La Guardia's meeting as "women of the streets gathered to be entertained by the pimp and procurer mayor."

SUGGESTION TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES

It is recognised by those expertly trained to judge, that with- in the Empire the broadcasting system which has been developed in Australia is tinrivalled for its reneral excellence. Froma first-hand knowledge of this system it may fairly be stated that the basis for this truly remarkable success can be epitomised in the eatch-line:-Showmanship but not sensationalism, and a re- cent experiment effected with striking success by the Australian Broadcasting Commission is particularly pertinent here, in view of the great interest which is being manifested In the combined manoeuvres which will commence next week with Hong Kong as the pivot of action.

Here are the facts as forwarded to the Editor of this newf- paper by the management of the A.B.C; The first broadcast from a Bri- tish. warship took place on Man-

day evening, February 5

through 2FC, from 8.30-anta 8.52 p.m., when the Australian Broad- casting Commission présented "Night Manoeuvres with the Flect."
