NO CHARGE MADE
BROADCAST MESSAGES
"My attention has been directed to statements that have been made to the effect that soldiers in the Middle East are being charged for the recording of messages for subsequent broadcasting in New Zealand," said the Minister in Charge of Broadcasting (Mr. Wilson) today. ~ _ t '_ "It has never been the policy of the Government to charge for the recording of messages, and consequently it is difficult to understand how these statements originate. In order to make definitely certain that no charge was being made, I arranged for a cable to be dispatched to the. broadcasting unit in Egypt asking for an assurance that soldiers could record messages gratuitously. The unit in Egypt has replied that no charge is made to soldiers sending "their messages."
