A jury was empaneled here Mon-
announced that the inquest will be

At the time of the accident a car
was traveling ahead of the CopeUnd
car, with SU^te Patrolman J. C. Pace
on patrol du^, just behind in his car.
The patrolman was on the scene im
mediately for an investigation. As
the Copeland car attempted to pass
the other car, according to officers’
reports, it skidded across the road
attended by a large gathering of
friends and relatives, the newly-made

warned to be at concert pitch by

most vigilance.”
He added But “it is madness to
suppose that Russia or the United
States is going to win the war- for
us.
ChurdiiU declared that parliamen
tary and press demands for a coordi
nator or minister of production would
be ignored, and he deplored careless
criticism of British indiutries for its
effect abroad, particularly in the
United States and Australia.
“In the United States,” he said,
“where there is a vigorous campaign
against the poUcy pursued by the
president, I fear that harm has been
done and it cannot be easily over-
takeh or healed."
_The British foreid office announc
ed that Finland had broken relations
with Britain, which 17 months ago
was shipping her cash and war ma
terials for her 1838-40 fight with
Soviet Russia.
ChurchiU did not say whether Fin
land would be regarded forma Uy by
the British as a German ally in her
new war- against the Red army.
The prime minister answered de
mands that he appoint a minister of
production with a blunt challenge to
the house* to take a vote on the ques
tion if it dared.

that Britain was not striving at any
