LONDON, July 2.
The military commander of West Sussex has ordered a continuous curfew henceforth along the beaches from Brighton to Worthing. An order has been issued which automatically prohibits all bathing.
The National Union of Railwaymen unanimously passed a resolution requesting that members of the Cabinet and other persons in high office who were associated with the previous Government's policy of appeasement should immediately be removed from office.
The resolution added: "A deputation should visit Mr. Churchill and obtain
his answer."
Mr. A. Paton, of Edinburgh, in moving the resolution, said: "I fear our 'fifth columnists' who are still in positions of power. I want this gang to be placed in a position from which, they cannot betray the country as Marshal Petain betrayed France."
