BeIgians 10 Continue
ToSupport Attachment
OF Greek ECA Funds
BY The Associated Press

BRUSSELS. Belgium, April 25.-
Foreign Minister Paul van iceland
said yesterday the Belgian govern
ment will continue to support the
claim of a Belgian firm that has
attached ST million in Marshall
Plan funds earmarked for Greece.
The funds were deposited in
Brussels by the Economic Cooper
alton Administration to cover a
Greek order for railroad equip
ment. The Belgian concern Soco-
bel attached them in an attempt
to recover a 25-year-old debt to
the firm by the Greek government.
ECA has given the Belgian gov
ernment until April 80 to get the
attachment withdrawn or else put
Ia similar amount at the disposal
OF Greece.
The Socialists introduced a mo-
ton of censure, demanding debate
when the ECA threatened to sus-
pend funds for Belgium if a set
tlement is not reached.
Mr.. van iceland, replying to
the motion in the House of Rep
resentatives, said "the position
the ECA is taking is false. The
funds attached are not Marshall
Plan funds but Greek funds"
He said this was the argument
Belgian representatives are using
in Washington in negotiations
with ECA officials and added: II
think we shall reach a solution .
Socialist Leader Paul-Henri
Spaak said the government had
been warned three times that It's
attitude in the affair would lead
to the ECA suspending it's aid to
Belgium.
A vote on the Socialists motion
Of censure is expected tomorrow
