THE SLOGAN don't change
horses in the middle of the stream"
gives rise to the question why are
we still in the middle of the stream
after twelve long years of enlight
ened New Deal government" But,
for sake of argument, let's grant
that we are still fioundering in the
middle of the stream, cant We pose
this question Didn't changing
horses in the middle of the stream
do well for the British?" Our Brit
ish ally, with its island kingdom,
would have been Overrun by Ger
man hordes long before this had
not Chamberlain been kicked
out and Churchill been put in pow
er. Americans may well ponder
this question as a fourth attempt
to perpetrate the New Deal dynas-
ty in Washington takes form.

what to serve for breakfast. Magic
combination of nut-brown flakes

Milford chronicle., 1944-06-30

1T is an unquestioned fact that
an individual could never get by
for twelve years piling debt upon
debt. Only the New Deal govern
ment, with its taxing ability and
power over jobs and profits, can
do that 1t is pOppycOck for con-
servative Democrats to cling to the
notion that the New Deal party
is the Democratic party of their
fathers. Fathers of present day
Democrats would not even recog-
nize the Democratic party of today,
controlled as it is by New Dealers.
Certainly men and women of con
servative inclinations cannot this
year support the candidates which
will be picked by the New Deal,
class hatred batting and rabble
rousing ticket makers.

Traffic Death Toll Rises
IS PET. Throughout U. 5.
Hy the Associated Press.

6S Inc ASSocldI6u EIeSS.
CHICAGO, May 31.-A United
States traffic death toll of 1850 for
the first four months of 1944-15 per
cent higher than for the correspond
ting 1943 period-evoked an appeal
from the National Safety Council
to conserve home-front manpower
and material 1on the eve Of the In
vasion.
Col. John Stilwell, president of
the organization. said: ID
Everybody knows that every
ounce of nanpower is needed to
produce the weapons and material
necessary to speed victory and thus
reduce the battle toll. And yet we
on the home front selfishly proceed
to squander manpower, material and
time by piling up huge accident
toll that Is as needless as it is
harmful to the war effort. These
accidents can be prevented If each
one of us is willing to take the
trouble of using a little common
sense, courtesy and caution"
The council estimated that motor
vehicle accidents would cost $1,000
lives this year if the current trend
continues.
The fatality total in April alone
was Ito, gain of IL per cent over
the same 1943 month.

terian Church in the United States
has decided to remain in the Fed
eral Council of Churches of Christ

This action yesterday was in an
swer to six overtures asking that

sion of the overtures.
A permanent Committee on War

The assembly voted to instruct
its Committee on Cooperation and
Union to give special consideration
to union with the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterians and the
United Presbyterians, but it de-
clined to consider union with all
evangelical bodies.
Completing its business ahead of
schedule, the assembly adjourned
last night after re-electing Miss
jamie McCaughey of Atlanta secre-
tary of woman's work, adopting a
$53,285 budget and naming several

Beliefs Are Protected

A Navy chaplain's complaint that
his commanding officer had for
hidden what the skipper called "hell-
fire preaching brought from the
Navy yesterday the comment that
chaplain may not be required "to
perform duties which are contrary
to the chaplain's religious beliefs
and conscientious convictions"
The protest was voiced before the
General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian Church at Montreal
N. c., by Frederick Volbeda of
Washington, Presbyterian chap
lain veteran of Pearl Harbor.
He said his skipper's edict came
after the officer had heard him
preach on repentance and actual
punishment.
An overture was placed before q
committee of the church assembly
for request to the Navy that chap
lains be protected from orders ito
do things that are in violation OF
their consciences as Christian min
isterS."
A Navy spokesman said that pro-
lection already existed, adding:
IF a commanding officer has
overstepped these restrictions there
are proper channels through which
the chaplain can make a report and
request corrective action from the
