There were sporadic scuttles between strikers and police. Troops were dispatched to guard the office of Premier Gaston Eyskens as Socialist strike leaders ordered workers into the streets again Thurs day for new demonstrations against the government. One nonstnking streetcar worker was injured when he was manhandled by the anti government demonstrators in Brussels. A government spokesman said a railway offi clal was injured seriously by strikers in Liege, Tear Gas Used In Ghent, gandarmes used tear gas to eject strikers who forced their way ino the gas and electricity headquarters and tossed iron bolts and rocks at the police, It was the first time tear gas had been used against strikers. The march through Brussels was the biggest demonstration since the strike movement broke out eight days ago in protest against an austerity program proposed by the gov ernment. But strong forces of mount ed and truck-borne gendarmes and riot police - with para troopers standing by - avoid ed any serious clashes with the demonstrators who whis tled and shouted demands for the resignation of Catholic So- cial Christian Premier Eyskens.

A French Foreign Ministry spokesman made clear that Moscow Radio's denunciation of the atomic test as. a "mon strous challenge tb world opinion," and angry reaction from African and other coun tries would not stop the French test series. Fourth Test Due Informed sources said a fourth explosion at the desert testing center of Reggane, 900 miles south of Oran, Algeria, could be expected in a "rela tively short t i m e" perhaps in a few weeks. France is the only country known to be conducting atomic tests. The United States, Britain and Russia have suspended their tests while attempting to negotiate a test ban in Geneva. How ever, American oiiicials have claimed Russia has been carrying on underground tests which can not be detected with avail able monitoring equipment. French scientists Tuesday exploded what was officially described as a prototype of low yield. They were known to be well on their way to de veloping transportable atom bombs or nuclear warheads for missiles or atomic tillery.

Pas sengers in the attacked ve hicles escaped injury. Virtually Immobilised The eight-day strike, in pro test against the planned aus terity program aimed at re couping economic losses as a result of granting independ ence lo The Congo, has virtu ally immobilized Belgium. More than half million workers were out and the strike was still spreading.
