There are now 240,000 radia sets in use in Austria-approxi mately one for each five families in the Republic.

"Ravag's" income is almost £200,000 a year. It is raised by a compulsory charge of one to three shillings a month, the charge be ing graduated somewhat on the basis of an income tax. Of the. profits made by the broadcasting cipal Governments get 40 per cent." company the national and muni-.

During the past year "Ravag" gave 257 literary hours, 105 dramatic hours, 23 lecture hours, and 76 folk-tale hours, Musical programmes, ranging from the latest imported American jazz to Beethoven's symphonies, occupied
