CO-ORDINATION OF EFFORT A SUGGESTION REJECTED DECISION OF MR CHURCHILL (United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received July 5, 1.10 p.m.) LONDON, July 4 Mr Winston Churchill, in the House of Commons, rejected a suggestion that a Commander-in-Chief should -be appointed for the efficient co-ordination of all military and civil departments concerned with the defence of Britain. He added that a closely-knit and elaborate organisation already existed to ensure the'effective concert of the whole of the home defence apparatus.
