BENES STATEMENT
DOUBTED. IN LONDON
Hec. 1.30 p.m. LONDON, January 5. The Czechoslovak Press Bureau in London says that the Cairo report, which was cabled by a British United Press correspondent, imputes to Dr. Benes statements which he "could not have made at a gathering of,the Czech colony in Cairo." The bureau categorically denies that Dr. Benes made a statement to the effect that Czechoslovakia and Russia would have.common frontiers, or that he said that Stalin had agreed that all the Germans should be expelled from the Sudetenland. The bureau also categorically denies the inference that Russia intends to regain and keep Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina. The British United Press, referring to. the .bureau's denials of Dr. Benes's statement, says: "The Czech spokes- • man in London admitted that he had not seen a copy, of Dr. Benes's statement, and the denial is based 'on the fact that this is not the sort of thing that Dr. Benes would say.'" i
