WINSTON TAKES WRONG TURNING
GREEN PASS THAT GIVES PRIVILEGE. ’ LONDON, Jan. 20. The Home Office states that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Winston Churchill, who, while he was motoring to Downing Street, was stopped by a policeman for taking the Wrong turning, was not guilty of a .breach of Ihe new traffic regulation?. He showed the constable the green : pass which is issued to all Ministers' to facilitate their uninterrupted passage. In view of experiments, in regulating the traffic, howeyer, .the, Home Office is considering whether privileged holders of passes should be permitted to contravene the regulations, . The motoring rank and flle point out that Mr. Churchill’s urgent appointment did not justify his action, as he would have lost only a few seconds by following the stream of traffic which .was circling Parliament Square in obedience to the regulations. It Is useless to attempt to remedy the traffic chaos, motorists declare, unless the new rules are rigidly applied to Everybody.
