Sir Charles Belgrove,

As a result of medical examination on April 11 Sir Charles
Belprave, Adviser to the Bahrain Government, has been told that he
should go to England at once for operation for u growth in the
bladder and Is leaving with Lady Belgrove on April 17. It has been
announced on Bahrain radio and in Press message from here th'»t he
Is going home for specialized medical treatment and that he has
been given sick leave for the purpose. Nothing was announced
about his return. The Ruler hopes thnt after a short stay In
England he may return to finish off his work here lx? fore going on
retirement leave In June, but it seems very doubtful whether he
will, in foot, return as he will very likely hove to remain under
observation for some weeks after.
