RACE BROADCASTING
VALIDITY TO BE TESTED A CASE IN AUSTRALIA SYDNEY, March 19. (Received March 20, at 0.55 a.m.) A statement of claim in a pending suit which will test the validity of race broadcasting in New South Wales was lodged with the Equity Court this afternoon. The nominal plaintiff in the action is the Victoria Park Racing and Recreation Grounds Company, Ltd., which is asking for an injunction perpetually restraining the Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation, Ltd. (Station 2UW), from transmitting a description of horse races during the progress of meetings at Victoria Park racecourse. Joined as defendants are the broadcaster, Cyril Angles, and the owner of certain land adjoining the racecourse. On this land is an observation tower from which broadcasting is conducted. The plaintiff claims that broadcasts of races have depreciated the value of its land and diminished the profits of the racecourse.
