Staff correspondent LONDON (UP) British broadcast- lng la one of the moct thoroughly regulated mediums for expression In the world, compared with the prlve- leges allowed American radio com men ta tors, yet the British Broad casting corporation has been deluged recently witn cnargea or mas, preju dice and outright propaganda. Broadcasting here is an airtight gov ernment monopoly, well-bred Britons shudder at the thought that orude persons "in trade" should sponsor. produce and. pay for programs of their own choice, sprinkling the program with advertising In the process. British radio listeners pay the post- office department a liberal fee of 10b (approximately $3.50) a year for each receiving set operated. For this fee they listen, until midnight only, to chamber music, symphonies, educa tional talks, carefully culled news bulletins, dance orchestras, a limited number of restrained political speech es, non -controversial plays, sports re sult and more chamber music. No Opinions And woe betide any B.. B. C. an nouncer or other employe, who even by an unfortunate choice of adjective or phrase, should express an opinion. The company's charter empowers the postmaster-general to Issue a notice requiring the B. B. C. to refrain from sending any signified broadcast mat ter. It may be drawn In general terms or may relate to a particular subject. "A notice of the former type has been Issued desiring the B. B. C. to AbntAln from broadcasting any ex pression of its own opinion in regard to matters of public policy, etc.," the postmaster-general told Commons In reply to a question recently. For invited speakers the restric tions are not so strict, but when their utterances are controversial, the B. B. C. quickly hears froo half the re tired colonels In the United Kingdom If the other side of the Issue Is not given and sometimes If It Is I Since British broadcasting Is com pletely a government product, paid for entirely by taxation. Individual John Bulls are not at all backward about telling the B. B. 0. how to run the business. Neither are members of the House of Commons, especially those on the opposition benches. Not Pat riot lo Enough The latest squabble came over a series of broadcasts describing condi tions of life In various countries, an educational program directed at the schools. Prof. John Hilton, dealing with Russia, said a few nice things about the Soviet system, omitted a few things not so nice, but wound up patriotically enough with this as sertion: "They are nothing like so well off or so well looked after as the com mon people are here. I should say. at a rough shot, that a worker in Rus sia enjoys about half the good things In life that a similar workers enjoys here." But if Prof. Hilton, and theB. B C, thought this little talk would pass unchallenged, they were wrong. "Letters to the editor" columns blossomed with Indignant protests The Issue reached the floor of Com mons when Sir Nalrne Stewart-Sande-man and Major-General Sir Alfred Knox asked the postmaster-general, respectively. If precautions were taken to Insure that broadcasts did not contain propaganda, and If he would make representations to the B. B. C to prevent the repetition of Soviet propaganda. The postmaster -general replied that ho believed the B. B. C maintained a fair balance, took great care to ex clude political propaganda from pro grams. He advised his critics to "read the broadcast rather than accounts put about concerning the broadcast," Commons Takes llnnd On the same day, the B. B. C. was rrrltlrlwd In Commons regarding its' reporting of the proceedings of the Commons Itself. Because "an impres sion of bias was aroused frequently owing to lack of proportion and per spective" the postmaster-general was aked to have the B. B. C. submit news bulletins to party whips before they were broadcast. He declined, say lng he thought the presentation fair to both sides. A news bulletin was criticized in Commons for quoting a Berlin news paper, even though the quotation was carefully designated as such and the name of the paper was given. Last month the B. B. C. cancelled broadcast of , play, satire on muni tions makers, for fear "this might be considered the government's view." Britain's rush to rearm was not men tioned. Defenders of talks like that by Prof. Hilton say that both sides of every question must be broadcast, how ever, unpalatable this may be to par tisans. propaganda Views "Partisanship at the microphone would kill broadcasting as an educa tional force." said William Wyamar Vaughan, chairman of the central council for school broadcasting. "It Is surely our duty to prepare chil dren to think for themselvea and so be able to resist the propaganda, not always scrupulous, to which they will be subjected in later life." Which brings up the increasingly important question of radio propa ganda, national and international, as employed already by several countries. Carolln.

The question whether British stations should broadcast in foreign tongues Is being anxiously discussed with the foreign office."
