LONDON: Mr Winston Churchill, Britain`s wartime Prime Minister, said today [Oct 9] that a third world war seemed to be `remorselessly approaching` and called on the Russians to `release their grip upon the satellite countries of Europe and retire to their own country.` He declared United States would be guilty of murdering human freedom if she destroyed her stocks of atom bombs.

The stocks of atom bombs were the only thing preventing the subjugation of Western Europe by `Communist machinations`, he said. Winding up the annual Conservative Party congress, the former Prime Ministers said the Communist plan was set forth as plainly as Hitler told about his plans in `Mein Kampf`. News agencies [Meanwhile, according to Dawn`s special correspondent reporting from Tel Aviv,] Arthur Koestler, a well-known author driving last night [Oct 7] in his jeep with a local doctor, was held up outside the Foreign Press Information Office by three men armed with Sten-guns. The men, who ...

spoke Hebrew and Yiddish with a slight American accent finally contented themselves with driving off with the jeep. ... In Koestler`s case, his strong criticism of many aspects of Israel`s developments has made him many political enemies.
