Atbrink, whose home was in the Dutch frontier town of Denekamp, worked for a garage proprietor in Nordhorn, just inside Germany.

Commons Statement Eagerly Awaited LONDON, Jan. 15 (Reuter). -Although there is widespread interest in the personal state- ment which Mr. Leslie Hore- Bellaba, the former War Minis- ter, will make in the House of Commons to-morrow, there is always the possibility that the much-heralded debate may come to nothing, says "Reuter's" Lob- by correspondent.

May Avoid Controversy

It is considered possible that he may take the line thuit no unnecessary. controversy should be aroused al present.

Mr. Hore-Belisha's statement is likely to begin between 3.15 pm, and 3.30 p.m. Mr. Chamberlain, is due to make his review of the progress of the war immediately afterwards.

The Prime Minister probably will pretoce his statement with comments on Mr. Hore-Belisha's speech.
