TO OPPOSE MR CHURCHILL
YOUNG SOLDIER TO STAND AS INDEPENDENT (Rec. 12.10 p.m.) London, June 24. Trooper Arthur Yates, of the Sixth Armoured Division, is on his way home to contest the Woodford electorate against Mr Churchill, says the "Daily Mail” Rome correspondent. Yates, three weeks ago, without telling his friends, obtained permission from the War Office to stand as an Independent. He flew from Austria with high priority. Yates is 26 years old. He is good-looking and before the war was a railway clerk. He has not previously had anything to do with politics. He has never been to Woodford but he "doesn’t think it right that the people of Woodford should not have a choice. Mr Churchill has been magnificent during the war but there comes a time when in his own words he should be put out to grass,” he said.
