CYPRUS SELECTED AS MIDDLE EAST HEADQUARTERS

London, Oct. 16.

Cyprus has been selected as the probable head- quarters of the new Middle East Command follow- ing Egypt's rejection of the four-power invitation to join the new defence organisation, informed sources said here today,

Plans for moving the big British base in the Suez Canal Zone to the island when the Anglo- Egyptian Treaty expired in 1956 had been under study by military experts for some time before it became evident that Egypt would abrogate the treaty with Britain.

Adenauer's Challenge To Russia

SHOWING

TO-DAY

Bonn, Oct. 16.

The West German Chah- dellor, Dr Konrad Adenauer, today called on the Soviet Union to show before the United Nations whether it wants German unity or not. The Soviet Union, he said, would be able to give its views when the United Nations dis- cuss the sending of a neutral commission to investigate whether conditions in all four zones would permit free, demò- cratic

elections.

Speaking in Parliament. Dr

Adenauer welcomed “with gpe- cial thanks and warmth" the promise made yesterday by the United States, Britain artd France to support his Govern- ment's request for a nrutabl investigation commission.

ia

He gave his agreement to the Allice proposal to extend the area of the Commission's in- vestigation to include the Soviet zone as well as West Germany. Dr Adenauer alleged that East Germany's Premier Dr Otto Grotewohl, had deliberately evaded the concreto isste of elections, as proposed by West Germany in its 14-point programme.

It was therefore, now up to the Soviet Union to speak.

ELECTORAL BILL

Dr Adenauer read to a crowded House the text of the promise by the United States, Britain and

France to put the request for neutral commission to the United Nations.

The electoral bill for all Germany, based on the 14-point programme, Was still being worked out, but would be laid before Parliament soon.
