Britain Relies On New Tanks To Make Or Smash Invasion

RESIGNATION OF MICHAEL ARLEN
Famous Novelist Explains
Mr Michael Arlen, the novelist, has resigned his position of honorary Press Officer to Lord Dudley, Civil Defence Commis sioner for the Midlands Region, because of ill-health.
His resignation followed a question in the House of Com- mens by Mr Walter F. Higgs, M.P. for West Birmingham, stating that Mr Arlen is a Bulgarian and that his appointment as a public relations officer for the Midlands Region was caus- ing considerable dissatisfaction
At the Ritz Hotel, Piccadilly, he told the News Chronicle that Mr Higgs's question and his own resignation were not con- nected.
