Bishop's Question

Worried last week was the venerable, stoop-shouldered Bishop of Winchester by the British public's "strange complacency" in the face of blackout road accidents--18,000 deaths since the war began. With high moral fervor, but not too much logic, the Bishop demanded "whether the continued spectacle of suffering may not be dimming the compassion which normally we feel." Whether or not British compassion was dimming, within eight London days:

> In her West Kensington flat, Mrs. Theodora Greenhill, 65, widow, was found brained with a milk bottle.

> In her Regent's Park flat, Mrs. Edith Eleanor Humphries, 48, widow, was found dying of a beating about the head.

> In the ruins of a bombed house in Camden Town, black-haired Mabel Church, 19, was found naked, strangled with her own underclothes.
