“LISTENING-IN” APPLIANCES INSTALLED IN POST OFFICES GERMANY’S LATEST (By Cable — Press Assn. — Copyright.! (Received 6, 10.50 i-n.) London, Jan. 5. The “Daily Mail’s” Berlin correspondent states that automatic spies are Germany’s latest Post Office installation to meet the demands of the Foreign Office, the Ministry of the Interior and the police, in order to complete the system of listening-in to telephone conversations between journalists, diplomats, politicians, and persons suspected of crime. By these appliances a shorthand note is taken, for example, of a despatch being telephoned to a foreign newspaper.—(Sydney “Sun” cable.)
