For Bermuda Conference
From WILFRED RYDER
London, Nov. 11.
Sir Winston Churchill goes to Bermuda next month with a more urgent worry than prepara- tions for high-level talks with the Russians. These are secondary in his mind. For behind his appeal to Mr Eisenhower and M. Laniel to meet him lies the disturbing confusion on basic issues in the West.

UN May Begin "Explanations" To POWs Shortly
Panmunjom, Nov. 12.
The five-nation Neutral Commission, admit- ting virtual failure of anti-Communist explana- tions, looked to the United Nations today to begin efforts to recover the 355 "pro-Communist" American, British and South Korean prisoners.
The United Nations remained silent, however, as to when it will begin explanations to the prisoners whom the Communists report as having refused to be re- patriated.
American explanation officers were ready to begin interviews with 22 "pro-Communist” American prisoners but were believed to be waiting for the "paychological moment." Meanwhile, the deadlock over and one British prisoner could explanations to anti-Communist be delayed longer.
