branding as war criminals the

The Hungarian bench of bish-

THE bench of bishops issued
this declaration also in the name

the last paragraph of their state
ment said.
This paragraph is particularly
significant in the light of bitter
attacks in Budapest newspapers
on nuns who have refused to sign
the Stockholm peace" appeal.
The press has branded as atom
nuns" the sisters reluctant to
sign. The bishops action obvi-
ously gives the reluctant nuns and
other clerical persons an oppor-
tunity to state that there is no
need any more for personal sig
natures because of their superiors'

Anti.Leopoldists Stage Wild Riot In Belgium

BRUS SELLS, Belgium, (P) - Wild rioting by thousands of an- ti-Leopoldists broke out anew in Brussels Saturday. A state of siege was declared in the indus trial city of Liege, government sources said.
 A battalion of the crack Chas- seurs Ardennais regiment was alerted to move into that French speaking center, stronghold of socialist-led forces who want to drive King Leopold from the throne he regained week ago. Liege was paralyzed by strikes.
 There were unconfirmed ru- mors that an attempt might be made to set up rebel provisional government in Liege. The more extreme Walloon separatists have long wanted to secede from Bel gium and throw in their lot with France. These, however, are only noisy minority group.
 Rioters started m h n g through Brussels at noon, singing the revolutionary "MarseillaiSe. ''
 Mounted police, with drawn swords, charged a crowd on the Place de Brouckere - the Times Square of Brussels-as it was trying to overturn street car.
 The rioters had dragged the mo- torman and his two protecting gendarmes from the car. Mounted police rode in, slashing with their drawn sabreS in all directions.
 The gendarmes drew cordon across the Square, but were at- tackled by the demonstrators. Horses reared and plunged under shower of bottles, cafe chair and tables snatched from nearby terrace.
