RADIO DANGER
POSSIBLE CESSATION j EMERGENCY SAFEGUARD (By Telegrarh.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Wednesday j Inquiries made today as to whether i New Zealand would be likely to fol- ! low the procedure adopted by radio j broadcasting systems on the Pacific . Coast of America this week of ceas- i ing to transmit if it is feared that | enemy aircraft are approaching, it; was stated in reply that New Zealand j listeners should be prepared for a j complete cessation of broadcasting should any attack from the air upon j this country appear imminent. The; question was also raised of the pos- j sibility of New Zealand adopting the > British plan of synchronising one | broadcasting programme from a number of stations, so that the enemy would be deprived of a number of separate wave-lengths, the origin of which could be identified. It was learned that this question was being gone into with technical experts. In exceptional circumstances it is quite possible that there may be some restriction on Parliamentary broadcasting.
