with Gen. Eisenhower. supreme
commander of NATO forces in
Western Europe and with Amer

in the Mediterranean area.
The Navy said Admiral Sherman
also is to visit "a number of Eu-

representatives and foreign Off
Icials on questions of mutual in

r. Spain, Italy on Itinerary.
The fact that his itinerary in
cludes Spain and Italy seemed to
have significance in connection
with the sea command dispute.
Although Spain is not a mem
ber of NATO, both she and Italy
are Mediterranean area powers
and one of the major NATO con-
troversies has been over the
nationality of the overall COM
mander for naval forces in that
area.
1t therefore seems probable
Spanish officials will have oppor-
tunity to express their views tc
Admiral Sherman about the Med
iterranean. The American admiral
can compare these views with
those of the other major interested
powers, Britain, France, the United
States and Italy.
In deciding which of the NATO
nations will furnish the man who
will have the top sea command
and direction on the western naval
forces in the Mediterranean, ma
tional interests are being weighed
against the present predominant
naval force in the Mediterranean

Britain has her big naval base
at Cyprus and her fortress at Gil

tionS through the Mediterranean
Much of Frances naval force

Italy is entirely Mediterranean
nation.
But the American 9Th fleet
which has been on station in the

naval force in that sea, operating

U.N. LegionProp
BY American Group
BY the Asseeiated Rrasa

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, July
16.-A private American group
has proposed the creation of a
United Nations Legion complete
with air force to deter would be
Iaggressors.
The force was recommended in
a report yesterday by the re-
search group Of the American AS
sociation for the United Nations.
It was one Of a series Of pro-
posals to put sharper teeth into a
United States sponsored program
adopted last fall by the u. N. Gen.
Ieral Assembly to give the U. N.
power to act when Security Coun-
Icil action is blocked by a big
power veto.
The A. A. U. N. Is a citizens
group pledged to support the
principles of the United Nations
Charter.
The report also called for a
force of several thousand U. N.
armed guards" who could serve
Jas garrisons in trouble spots or
supervise truce settlements as in
Korea.
The q. N. Legion was not en-
Ivisioned as large enough to over
whelm all resistance but as strong
enough to restrain smaller aggres-
sors. 1t would also serve as
holding force against larger ag-
gressions until contingents from
U. N. member nations could ar
rive.

into Brussels II years ago, when
he rode on horseback, amid much
lpomp and splendor, to take up the
kingly duties.
He came to the throne on tne
death of his father, King Albert
in an accident. Tragedy followed
him. After he became King, his
wife died in an automobile acoi-
dent.
Leopold, now 40, was a minor
player in a world drama which
was beginning just as he as
sumed the throne. The Nazis
had come to power in Germany,
and the way was being paved for
war which was to bloody Bel
GUMS soil for the second time
in a generation.
Leopold surrendered to the in
vading Germans despite the op-
position of his government. and
he was widely asSailed as pro-
German. During his long exile
there was many a move to de-
throne him.
Will Retain His Title.
The king-he will retain the
title. but the phrase "of the Bel
gians" is dropped and in effect it
is an honorary title now-referred
to the tragic days of 1910.
II affirm that in 1910 the army
fought valiantly to the extreme
limit of its resistance and that
the population under enemy oc-
cupation showed its traditional
dignified endurance, courage and
patriotism" said Leopold in an
address just before he signed his
abdication. He spoke IL both
Flemish and French, Relgium's
two national languages.
Leopold, speaking slowly and So
lemnly, told his son:
MY dear Baudouin, it is with
pride that 1 transmit to you the
noble and heavy mission to carry
from now on the crown of a Bel
gium which, in spite of the most
terrible of wars and the upsets
which followed it, has stayed ter
rltorially and morally intact, free
and faithful to its traditions"
Baudouin replied: my dear

Unexpected Development.
The Mayflower breakfast this
morning at which plans were
made to work for a fast passage
of the flood aid money bill was an
unexpected development. Gov.
Smith had arranged one of the
annual Missouri ham breakfasts
with the President and congress
sional leaders present but the flood
situation projected itself into the
event
Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee is a
member of the Missouri delega-
ton in Congress and sat in on the
meeting.
President Truman also discussed
the flood with the Congressional
leaders at the weekly conference
this morning, and House Speaker
Rayburn said as he left the White
House that the House would pass
the aid measure today.
AS House debate opened on the
SIS million outlay recommended
by the Appropriations Committee,
Representative Mccormack, Dem
ocrat, of Massachusetts, proposed
an amendment to increase the
amount to $25 million.
Mr.. Mccormack explained that
he made the proposal as an indiv-
idual member and not as Demo-
cratic floor leader. The SIS mil
lion appropriation for relief in
f1ood-stricken areas, he said, is
simply a minimum Istimte." He
declared that some Government
officials andengineers have es-
timated that $50 million might be
required.
Mr.. Cannon urged immediate
action on the appropriation. The
money. he explained, would go
strictly for relief of human suf-
fering."

Reds Hold Meetings.
The small Belgian Communist
Party tried to seize advantage OF
the abdication and continued with
its "Vive la repuhlique" meetings
in defiance of the government
The Interior Ministry forbade such
meetings. but the Communist
newspaper, Drapeau Rouge (Red
I Flag. said. I'VE will not bow be-
fore the minister's degree" 1t
announced meetings for today and
tomorrow to agitate for an end
of the monarchy. The govern
lment not only forbade these meet
ings, but also banned pro-Leopald
rallies as a possible danger to
public order.
Leopold's road to abdication
began May %. 1910, when he
surrendered his army to the Ger
mans.
His opponents also bitterly at

moner, Mary-Liliane Baels, in

The argument will be used that
such legislation is particularly
timely, since Government en-
lployes' annual leave benefits are
being cut.
Federal employees. unlike most
private industry workers. now have
no unemployment job insurance or
severance pay. The only form of
jobless protection they have is the
pay they get for their unused an
nual leave. But since Congress is
in the process of reducing leave
benefits and also prohibiting en-
Iployes from accumulating any
more leave, even this cushion
Iagainst a jobless period is being
debated.
The legislation being considered
by the House Ways and Means
Subcommittee is sponsored by
Representative Forand, Democrat,
iof Rhode Island. Mr.. Forand is
chairman of the subcommittee.
The bill would provide that Fed
Ieral employees receive the same un-
employment compensation benefits
Jas are given private industry
workers in the particular State
where they work. For Federal en-
Iployes in Washington, the benefits
would be patterned after the Dis
Itrict unemployment compensation
law.
CREDO-The Federal Personnel
Council, the official advisory unit
on personnel matters to the White
House and the Civil Service Com
mission. has recommended that
the following creed be approved
for all Government employees:
I'VE. as members of the civil
service, accept our obligation and
our opportunity to serve the
American people we'll and in full
measure, doing our best to further
the free and democratic institu-
tions of our country.
I'VE believe it our duty to carry
out Loyalty fhe will of the people

County Police Probing
Definite Arson Signs
In ChickIand Blaze

Prince Georges County police
today were investigating definite
evidence of arson in the Sunday
fire that badly damaged the Chick
land Club in Capitol Heights, Md,
scene Of an 8-hour melee last week.
The blaze, the third in four days,
was discovered early yesterday
morning when thick smoke poured
out Of the club, located at 4908
Central avenue.
Damage was estimated at 5000
to $4,000. Extensive repair work
Will be necessary before the club
can reopen.
Firemen discovered a pyre of
tf lies and chairs in the center of
the clubs main room. Later a
quantity of cotton batting was
found. It apparently had been
soaked in kerosene, a fireman said.
Tried Twice to Open.
The club has tried to open on
two occasions as a bi-racial cafe.
The first time crowds of white
citizens forced the closing by dis
orderly conduct outside. And last
Friday the disorder began again
Mt the reopening.
Tear gas and streams of water
from fire hoses finally dispersed
the more than 700 persons who
had milled around outside the
club until early Saturday morn
ing.
: A small blaze was discovered
and extinguiShed in the rear OF
the club Saturday night, not
many hours after the disorder
had stopped. The first fire, a
small one In the rear, occurred a
week ago.
Area Roped OFF.
The club, which is in the busi-
ness section of Capitol Heights,
now has been roped of by police,
Prince Georges County Police
Chief F. Allen Richards also has
ordered a night police guard over
the property.
Sometime during Saturday night
the word Communist" had been
daubed in red paint in two places
across the front Of the club.
Meanwhile, county flrefghters
expressed concern over the dan
ger the blazes are causing the
community.
It was pointed out that the
Chickland Club is across the street
from q lumber yard, next door to a
large gasoline station and in front
Of q warehouse. Firemen said that
II a fire got out of control at the
club, it might destroy large part
Of the Capitol Heights business
section.
A little more than year ago,
another nightclub, the Club Hill
billy, in nearby Seat Pleasant
was burned to the ground after
six previous fires lad been ex-
tinguished. Police charged arson
but they have been unable to-
solve the case.
There was no racial question in
the Club Hillhilly fire, however.
The operator of the Chickland
Club, James M. Harrigan, has
more trouble facing him. He IS
scheduled to appear in the Upper
Marlboro Police Court rext Mon
day on a charge of selling beer
to a minor. He also has been Or
dered to appear before the county
liquor control board on Thursday.
