Twenty- detectives are working ¡day and night in Soho trying to solve the mystery of who killed Constance Hinds, Josephine, Mar- tin and Jeannette Cotton.

Home Office Circulars Condemned

By 30 votes to 22 Bermondsey Borough Council last month ze». solutions passed last year con- demning the Government's air raid circnlars. A committee was appointed to enquire into the latest Home Office circular.

Previously the Council, which has only one non-Socialist mem- ber, decided by the casting vote of the Mayor, Councillor G. Love- land, to debate the question of air-raid precautions as a matter of urgency.
