THE

ADALAI LAMA Search For

Lost Continent

· SHIP CONSTRUCTED IN BACK GARDEN

London, Noy, 9.

Explorer Egerton Sykes said today he planned to use a £120 homemade submarine to search for remains of the lost continent of Atlantis next year.

Sykes, chairman of the Atlantis Research Centre, said the submarine had been built by Frank Russel, a former Army engincer, in his back garden at Biggleswade in Bedfordshire.

"We expect to carry out trials sometime this month. The submarine is about 20 feet long and is a one-man affair with a conning tower and observation_window,” Sykes sald.

With this he said he hopes was fortunate there were

must be present when the Council discusses General MacArthur's report on the intervention of Chinese troops in North Korea. The decision to invite a Peking representative was based largely on the principle of equity, but it is conceivable that Sir Gladwyn Jebb, the British delegate who drafted the proposal, and most of the nations who voted in its favour also · perceive an opportunity for clearing up the existing problem in North Korea by discussions around the table. Firefly, of course, it has to be seen whether Mao Tse-tung intends to accept the Security Council's invitation, or, as Mr Warren, Austin, the American delegate described it, summons, to attend the discussion on the MacArthur report. Refusal would bu tantamount to admitting the General's charges and would strain evon further the present delicate situation. It may be hequried that the Chinese Communiste will accept the invitation if for no other reason than Russia bas given ler approval of ft.
