Anti-Le Union
Calls Belgian Strike
BY the Associated Press

CHARLEROI, Belgium, July IL.
Factories closed and about H.
900 workers marched through the
streets here today chanting Down
with Leopold" and "Abdication."
They were demonstrating their
opposition to the return of King
Leopold III to his throne.
Parliament, meanwhile, was
meeting in Brussels to debate the
return of the monarch.
The Social Christian majority,
pledged to the kings return, faces
prolonged and acrimonious opposi-
ton from the Socialists and Lib
erals.
Today's strike in this coal min
ing area originally had been called
for all of the French-speaking
Walloon part of Belgium, but So
cialist leaders postponed the gen.
eral walkout. A regional union
closed the many engineering works
around Charleroi, however. A
union spokesman said about so 900
workers walked out.
Socialist Leader Paul Henri
Spaak caused an uproar in Par
lament yesterday when he pro-
posed a tribute to Prince Regent
Charles, praising his patriotic war
conduct. The pro-Leopoldists took
this as an implied attack on the
King who surrendered to the Ger
mans in 1910.

Secrecy on Troops

Senator Bridges, Repub-

called on the Defense Estab-
lishment today to stop dis
closing movements Of troops
or material in connection with
the Korean warfare.
The Senator said publicity
on such movements is ex-
planned on the grounds that
the United States is obligated
to advise the U. N. of our
actions, but added:
II fear this would be small
solace to the parents of
American boys who might die
If a North Korean submarine
attacked an American con-
voy."
