STOWAWAY'S STORY
OBJECTION TO BROADCAST »; , 7 4 j CONTROVERSY IN ENGLAND < ' LONDON. Oct. 0 > The British Broadcasting Commission refused the Shipping Federation's request to withdraw a broadcast talk. bj r Stanley Eke, describing how he became a stowaway on board a cargo boat. His object, he states, was to "get back to England without paying his fare." v The federation's letter com plains that a stowaway is really a law-breaker, and might even be called a thief. It protests strongly that the activities of stowaways should not be given the limelight of broadcasting. "It is tO| be hoped," the letter continues, "that a talk which weaves romance wrong-doing will on no account be permitted " The corporation says it is convinced .that when the federation has heard the talk it will not take exception to it. Eke's talk, it is pointed out, does not describe stowing away either as .something carrying romance or something which can be carried on with impunity. "What is stressed is the element of adventure."
