Cairo Oct. 14.
Rumours tonight said that Egypt might be declared a republic despite General Naguib's re- peated statements that she would remain a con- stitutional monarchy.
The reports gained currency after today's moves that the crown might be transferred to Prince Abdel Moneim's family, which lost it at the outbreak of the first world war, when Khedive Abbas Hilmi sided with the Turks and central European powers and was forced to abdicate.
Crown Prince Oman Farouk, heir of the last Ottoman Prince Abdel Moneim's wife is a daughter of Sultan. She and the Prince haya en 11-year-old son, Prince Abbas Hilmi, and an 8-ydd daughter, Prin- ceas Okbal.

Says Churchill
London, Oct. 14.
The Prime Minister, Mr Winston Churchill, said tonight that a third world war was unlikely.
Mr Churchill proposed the toast to General. Matthew Ridgway at the dinner of the Pilgrims Society at the Savoy Hotel, at which. the NATO Supreme Commander was guest of honour and..... also a speaker.
Mr Churchill said: "We all hate and fear war. Let me tell you why in my opinion-and it is only my opinion - third world war is unlikely."
"It is because, among other reasons, it would be entirely different in certain vital aspects from any other war that has ever taken place. Both sides know that if war begins there will be horrors on a scale never dreamed of before by human beinga."
He said it would be different because both sides in Europe would suffer in the very first It would
