Violence in Chartered
The Socialists contend that
the burden Of the new austerity
program will fall heaviest on
the workers. Mr.. Eyskens con-
tends the economies are neces-
sary. But the economic battle
has spawned q new outbreak of
the longtime conflicts between
the Catholics and Socialists,
and between the French-sp speak
ing Walloon south and Flemish
north, that often have divided
Belgium.
The days first violence came
in the heavily industrial Char
leroi region, a Socialist strong

Of the days march, q Socialist

demonstrate peaceably and not
be provoked into violence by
police or others. I'VE don't APP
prove of stone throwing" said
Herve Brouhon, a member of
Parliament. to a meeting of 900
at Socialist Party headquarters.
The warning was prompted
by widespread stoneethrowing
and overturnins of automobiles
yesterday when $1,000 strikers
rampaged through the streets
of Brussels.
Port Strike Eases
The strike eased In the big
port Of Antwerp. Seven ships
left during the night and early
morning. Police said between
5000 and 1900 members Of the
Socialist-led General Workers
Federation had stopped work in
the port but 1000 members of
Catholic-led unions were still
on the job.
The Catholic unions, who are
closely afiliated with Mr., Ety.
skenS' Social Christian Cath
olic) Party, have denounced
the strike as o revolutionary
attempt to overthrow the gov
eminent.
Because Of the showdown In
shipping at Antwerp, police
said, oil refineries in the port
might have to shut down to-
morrow. They include one
American refinery. one British
and three Belgian owned.
Parliament Returns Tuesday
Parliament. which was re-
cessed for Christmas with the
debate on the governments

In progress, comes back on
Tuesday.
Agitation grew among some
II the strikers for their Social
list leaders to call a general
iItrike timed to coincide with
he return Of parliament. But
iMr. Brouhon, at the strike
meeting In Brussels today,
brushed aside the demands and
said instead that department
store workers in the capital
would join the strikers in o
big demonstration on Wednes-
day.
The Socialist strategy so far
has been to call work stoppaRes
and demonstrations In chain
fashion in North Belgium,
where the Catholic unions are
strong and the strike has been
east effective.

Violence In Other Cities
About 1000 strikers clashed
with police in the southwest
industrial city Of Mons and
there were other outbreaks Of
violence in and around Char
leroi.
King Baudouin, who cut
short his Spanish honeymoon
to deal with the crisis, met with
the presidents of the Senate
and House Of Representatives.
He had conferred with Mr..
Eyskens last night.
The King also asked the
leaders of Belgium's three
largest political parties to come
to see him at Laeken Palace.
They are: Thee Lefevre,
Social Christian President;
Roger Motz. Liberal Conserva-
tive chief, and Leo Collard.
Socialist president.
Mr.. Collard was reported to
be in Charleroi to address a
mass meeting Of strikers.
pMr. ,Eyskens held his regular
Mhinet meeting while the dis
orders were taking place.
~ communicate said the cab
inet had examined the situa-
ton throughout the nation and

The demonstrators in Brus-
sells stalked the streets shout
ing We'll march on Parliament
Tuesday" and ITO the gallows

conyenes Tuesday to consider
the austerity program.
Windows Smashed
Socialists said the demonstra-
tor was killed after several
waves Of strikers smashed
many windows in the Sabena
AirlineS terminal and admin
istration building in downtown
Brussels.
The Socialists said the victim
was q striking painter who was
hit on the head with q saber
and died on the way to q hos
pital.
The trouble came from q
small portion Of the demonstra-
tors. as was the case yesterday.
Again Socialist union leaders
had called on the marchers to
avoid violence.
But some could not be re-

to the airline building, where

Churchill drove himself re-
lentlessly. At one conference
in Washington, he was so
busy that he even worked in

in THE Clock with Four
Hands"
HE sent for Gen. Leslie

to read him some secret re-
ports that had just arrived,
Hollis began to read. and sud-
denly Mr.. Churchill gripped
his nose between thumb and
forefinger and disappeared

Hollis stopped reading for
a few seconds until the Prime
Minister surfaced again, wip-

Accusingly. he looked over the
rim of the bath at Hollis.
Why did you stop read

tone. Don't you know that

Geology Classic Brings S6I6
By VAN ALLEN BRADLEY

James Hutton's famous
Theory Of the Earth" is a
notable example Of the fact,
often stressed here, that
books of Importance in every
field are almost always val
liable in the collectors
market.
The author was a Scottish
doctor who became interest
ed in the structure Of the
earth after taking up farm
ing on a rocky estate left him
by his father. His studies led
him to evolve a theory that
the earth's present features
and changes explain its past.
Much of modern geology is
based on his pioneering work,
which appeared in two dull
little volumes late in the
18th century. A third volume
was published after his
death.
The title page Of the first
volume reads, in part:
THEORY OF THE EARTH,
WITH PROOFS AND H.
LUSTRATIONS. In four
parts. By James Hutton {.
Vol. / .. Edinburgh 1795.

ance of a two-volume set OF

him.

Martha has such a jealous

serves help and sympathy.
What would Martha do If
the same thing happened to

to help her out. I was able
to direct Sylvia to a good
lawyer and banker. She has
also become so nervous she
is afraid to be alone evenings,
so stop in for a while near
ly every night.
Martha becomes furious
everytime Sylvia calls.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Most women are dependent
on a man to the point where
they may lose their balance
if his strong arm is taken
away. The man who offers
assistance at that critical
moment is a real friend.
But no woman. has the
right to take over another
husband to the point where
he is sorely missed by his
own wife. 1t is safe to assume
that the woman who rarely
gets jealous is a fair Judge
where lines should be drawn.
Herbert should recognize
that he may be doing the
woman little good now. The
first shock is over. Sylvia is
at the point where she must
learn to make peace with
her misfortune.
Martha is now the woman
who is suffering from the
lack Of male companionship.
She can't send her husband
out on lend-lease forever.
Since Sylvia lacks the
strength to release Herbert
OF his self-imposed RESPONSE
bllities. he must do some
thing himself about loosen
ing her grip.

has experienced a tantalizing
sensation that promises some
good for himself in the fu-
ture.
BUT WHAT A THRILL it

ing in Miami Beach, Florida
of the American College Of
Chest Physicians.
Lectures begin at 9 am,
and except for a break for
lunch. continue on into the
evening. After dinner, you
return to a large ball room
in which "flreside discus
sions" are going on. There
are about so round-tables at
each of which sit a dozen,
eager, young and elderly
physicians discussing various
types of chest disease.
I choose the table where
discussion centers around
tumors of the lung. How to
diagnose. when to operate,
and how to treat. These dis
tinguished men from all over
the world freely swap ex-
periences.
Spread around that room
are leading doctors from SO
countries and territories. I
have rarely seen such sus-
tanned enthusiasm at a med
ical meeting.

about 1400 at the meeting)
certainly were the living def
