Peer Wants The Whole B.B.C. Personnel Scrutinised

AT LEAST ONE SHOULD Wodehouse NOT HOLD JOB, HE SAYS

A DEMAND that the Government should investigate the personnel of the B.B.C. was made by Lord Elibank{ in the House of Lards recently.

He said that it would be the first institution that a Nazi invading force would try to take over, and steps should be taken to ensure that there was not a single in-¡ dividual for whom they could not vouch.

He added: "There is at least one individual whom I know in the B.B.C. in London who certainly should not occupy the position he toes. I do not propose to name him here, but I shall give his name on a piece of paper to the Duke of Devonshire.

"He is married to a German lady whose brother is fighting ngalust us,"

The Duke of Devonshire, Under- Secretary, India Offer, replying to the debate announced that B con- alderable number of people of British nationality had been arrested during

The danger of snake bite whilst swimming at the Colony's beaches this summer was exemplified yester-| day when an 18-year-old English youth, T. L, Luckhärt, was the vic- tim of a swimming snake at the 14 mile bench.

Mr. Lockhart, who is an employee of the Colonial Secretary's Office, was at the bench with his father, Mr. H. L. Loctthart, of the Urbani Council, and some friends.

With

another young man, Lockhart swam out from the beach and was cavotting in the water when he felt a sharp sting.

The snake was not seen until after

I had struck its victim.

Lockhart was immediately rushed to the Kowloon Hospital, where the punctures were cauterised and several injections were administered. Although in a bad way when he arrived at the hospital, he was pro- nounced out of danger this morning,
