Users May Be

Affected

London, Aug. 1.

VERY soon your refrigerator, your vacuum clean- er, your fan and all electrical apparatus will have to be suppressed in the interests of radio listeners.

But do not get alarmed. The world "sup- pressed" is used only in the technical sense. It does not mean that these valuable household gadgets must be dispensed with, but only that they must be prevented from causing a noise in nour-by wireless sets.

This decision has been reached, after three: years, by the Committee on Electrical Interfer. ence which has now presented its report to the Postmaster-General following unanimous endorse- ment by the committee; of the Institution qfi Electrical Engineers.

It is expected that Major Tryon, the P.M.G. will make a șintement in the House of Commons before the end of this month, in which he will reveal that the Committee recommends the in- troduction of a law making it illegal to cause | electrical interference with radio reception.

An injunction to restrain the, Bulsance was granted

in the King's Bench Division with costs to Mr. John Leeman, of Thorpe Cottage, Thorpe, Surrey.

Mr. J. W: Morris, K.C., for Mr. Leeman, contended that the cockerels should not be kept within a certain number of yards of Thurpe

If Mr. Montagu kept them within the demilitarised zone, we should know that we could come to the court for sanctions straight away,"declared Mr. Morris, amid inughter.

MONTH TO OBEY

Mr. Justice Greaves-Lord, giving judgment suspend- ed full operation of the judgment for a month, and awarded Mr. Leeman twenty ahillings nominal dumoges,"

He expressed the hope that in the intervening period Mr. Montagu would start to reduce what was a proved nuisance.

Mr. Montagu, he added, should rid his mind of the idea that the action was one which affected thousands

of poultry breeders all over the country,

This case did not mean that it sought the sup- pression of large number of farms throughout the country.

Mr. Montagu said that he had not yet' tvoided what he was going to do with the birds.
