INTRICACIES OF BROADCASTING

Hongkong Rotarians were given an insight into the intricacies of broadcasting at their weekly timin meeting yesterday when Rotarian R. P. Morris gave an interesting and instructive talk on "Empire Wireless Communcations."

G. R. Razavet, O. Davis, D. C. Loneraine, M. A. Cairns, F. K. Garten. Phillip Samuel and Y. M. "Ho.

The President also made brief reference to the impending de- parture on leave of Rot. T. B.

These observations were made at the conclusion of the case in which Koo Ka-ming. clerk of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co, Ltd., pleaded guilty to six charges of embezzlement of $2,187,84 from his employers.

Koo said that he was forced to commit the offence because his salary was not sumclent to meet his family's expenses.

LENIENCY PLEA

The Rev. J. R. Higgs, asking for leniency on the defendant's be- half, said that Koo had come from a respectable family and had been

educated in
