REDUCTION OF STAFF A reduction has been made in the stall of the National Commercial Broadcasting Service. Reports have been in circulation during the last few days that the services of some 24 employees have been dispensed with, but it is officially stated that the number does not exceed 15. The annual report of the service for the year ended 31st March, 1938, the latest available, stated that a staff of 280 was didectly employed by the service and that of this number 276 had been engaged and trained locally. When asked if there were any special significance in these dismissals, the Act-ing-Minister in charge ol Broadcasting, the Hon. F. Jones, said that all the men involved were temporary employees. Normal staff adjustments were taking place continually throughout the year, and this was simply a periodical staff rearrangement. It was found that as the men gamed "greater experience fewer employees were required in certain departments. An endeavour was being made as far as possible to place the workers concerned in other employment.
