SAFE AT LAST

London, Nov. 3. The Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Major Christopher Mayhew, an- nounced in the House of Commons today that Mr Stanislaw Mikolajczyk had arrived in England. Major Mayhew said he arrived today at Marsfon airfield. Marston is the RAF airdrome in Kent.

He replied: "I have been informed that Mr Mikołajczyk arrived in this country today and has been given permission to land. I understand that he arrived nt Manston airfield, but at the moment I have no further information."

He also proposed that the United | Nations should ensure the tumediate creation of provisional government councils for the Arab and Jawish Estate
