CHURCHILL will accept a peerage very soon.

That is the

"news" which a member of Parliament gave me, without qualification, one day last week. He quoted imposing authority for his statement.

CHURCHILL will quit as soon as the Queen gets back to England in May. That was another whisper at Westminster I picked up from a junior Minister. Mr Cycil Osborne, a Tory back- bencher, repented the same story in a public speech.

CHURCHILL will retire in two months. That is the tale also is being discussed avidly wherever politicians gather together.
