Belgian Deputies Demand
Kinq Gef Consent 10 Return
BY the Associated Fress.

BY the Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, July 1.-THE Belgian
Chamber of Deputies voted today
to prevent King Leopold from re-
assuming the throne until he is
given parliamentary consent. The
vote was 98 to 6 with 80 members
abstaining from voting.
The bill, introduced by Prime
Minister Achille van Acker, now
goes to the Senate-probably tomor-
row.
The action was taken after Van
Acker read letter from Leopold
saying he would bow to the will
of the people-suggesting that he
wished plebiscite held upon
whether he should retain his throne.
The King is staying in Bavaria.
Earlier the Catholic Party's cab
met ministers had announced that
they were resigning from the gov
ernment.
The Catholic party is pro-Leopold.
The decision to resign was an
nounced by Edmund Ronse, minis
ter of information, after a meeting
of the Parliament right wing
members.

For instance, he said, the Army has
reduced its sugar requirements for
the present quarter, realizing the
need of sugar for home canning.
Stressing that the United States
should 'reach out into the far cor

able source of additional food" Mr..
Anderson said he believed the Gov
ernment could be "a lot more ag-
gressive" in getting from abroad cer-
tain of the food and feed items
which are critically short here at
home. He would concentrate par
ticularly on South American coun-
tries.
Mr.. Anderson called the black

D. c. Printers Head
Sees 4 New Strikes if
Voluntary Pacfs Fail

Jessie B. Manbeck, president OF
Columbia Typographical Union, No.
1o1, predicted today that strikes of
printers in at least four cities would
follow q hearing by the War Labor
Board Newspaper Commission in
Chicago tomorrow 'if the commits
sion refuses 10 act on voluntary
agreement cases."
The WLB has ordered the COM
mission to freeze consideration OF
20 pending voluntary agreements
because printers have refused to
end strikes at the Jersey City
Journal and the Bayonne IN. j.
Times.
Woodruff Randolph, president of
the International Typographical
Union, and local representatives
from Baltimore, Philadelphia and
Louisville viii attend the hearing" /"
Mr.. Manbeck said.
Walk Out Predicted.
Should the commission stand by
the WLB order and certify the
voluntary agreements as dispute
cases, 1t can mean only one thing
the locals involved are going to walk
out" He said San Antonio (Tex.)
local also had case pending but
probably would not be represented
tomorrow.
Following up demands that Presi-
dent Truman dismiss DR.. George w.
Taylor, WLB chairman, the ITU has
asked the Central Labor Union Ex-
ecutive Committee to adopt SIM
liar resolution, Mr.. hanback, said.
"It will be much stronger than
the one we passed Sunday" he said.
ut will demand the firing of all the
WLB public members, and think
the Executive Committee will adopt
1t today or tomorrow"
Resolution Sent to Locals.
ITU officials said 1000 copies of
their resolution asking for DR.. Tay-
lor's discharge were being circulated
to locals, printing trades councils
and other graphic arts groups.
Crx of the New Jersey strikes,
which has set the District union in
action, are printers demands to In
clude new bylaws in contracts with

The WLB, in ordering suspension
Of consideration of voluntary agree
ments, said "the ITU has challenged
the authority Of the Government of
the United States in time of war to
provide for the peaceful adjustment
of labor disputes. 1t has placed its
laws above the laws of the United
States Congress"

|WLB Panel Approves
Greyhound Contract !
On Probation Basis /

A War Labor Board panel yes
terday recommended probationary"
continuance of a union shop and
checkoff at the Greyhound Garage
here after sharply criticizing the
past history of wildcat strikes Of
the Amalgamated Association Of
Street, Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees of America CAFL).
The probationary" clause was-fn-
serted after the panels denuncia-
tion of the unions actions In four
strikes between June, 1913, and De-
cember, 1874.
"On none OF the four above cited
occasions did the union abide by
the law by filing a strike notice and
awaiting a vote by the National
Labor Relations Board" the panel
wrote. 1t censured the strikes in
the face Of mo strike clause"
agreement and said the Union "on
many occasions precipitated walk
outs without having any sound basis
for such action"
Sought Clarification.
The case went to the panel for
clariflcation of contract after trans.
fer of the Washington garage from
the Pennsylvania Greyhound Lines
to the Greyhound Garage of WashI
ington, Inc, in 1943. Bargaining
agent for $50 employees, the union
sought an agreement identical to
the contract of November 2, 1914,
between Pennsylvania Greyhound
Lines and the union covering
maintenance employees on the Penn
sylvania properties.
In its recommendation the panel
observed that the employees substan-
TALLY have been working under the
same agreement as the Pennsylvania
Greyhound maintenace workers
since 1889. In November, 1914, a
new contract was made with en-
ployes of the Pennsylvania Grey
hound Lines, but the Washington
garage requested separate negotia- .
tions, contending it was a separate
concern. :
Goes for Final Approval.
The panel recommended that gen.
eral provisions Of the 1914 contract
relating to maintenance personnel
of Pennsylvania Greyhound Lines,
Inc, be included in an agreement
covering employees Of the Greyhound
Garage of Washington, Inc, retro
active to November, 1943.

Army Officials explained freight
cars were used for troop movements
in preference to available prewar
coaches because of lack of effective
brakes. -
The men came, from nearly every
service branch of the 5th Army,
ranging from railway construction
to bridge repair and ordnance.
There were four companies of white
troops, but the remainder were COL
ored. None are considered combat
men, but all have been through con-
siderable action.
The first man ashore was Pvt. Joe
Archilla of New York City. He end
ed one of the swiftest boomerang
trips on Army records. He left New
port News, Va, last April 5 for
Italy, then turned around and
headed for the Pacific.

sliding down ropes slung over the

among the patients.
A spokesman for the steamship
company said in Toronto that "pos-

and members of the crew, were
taken to the hospital, but that only
about so were suffering from burns

Mr.. Truman told Congress "I am
