BROADCAST BAN.
Department Offers to Lift It. ULJI'S FLIGHT. AUCKLAND, This Day. Following the publication of a protest by the Rev C. S. Scrimgcour against the Post and Telegraph Department’s banning of the intended oroadcast of messages from Mr Ulm’s plane during the Pacific flight, a lastminute offer was made by the department, conditionally, to remove the ban, but this was refused. Air Scrimgeour stated this afternoon that the District Radio Inspector called on him to-day, saying that he had received a message from the department in Wellington to the effect that the department would, on the payment of £5, receive messages from Ulm’s plane and hand them on to the Friendly Road station. Air Scrimgeour replied that, as Ulm was now in the air, such an eleventhhour proposition was not acceptable, particularly after the department’s action in banning the broadcast and disorganising the station’s plans. No objection to the payment of a fee would have been raised, but no mention of a fee had been made until to-day.
