Brussels Streets
To Spot Trouble
Brussels, Belgium fUPI) Po
lice and army trucks patrolled
Brussels today and strong
forces of gendarmes were con
centrated near the royal pal
ace and Parliament to head
off any trouble over the gov
ernment's economic "auster
ity" program.
Several hundred strikers
gathered outside the Socialist
Party headquarters this morn
ing, but no organized demon
strations developed.
Slrttti Deserted
The capital was quiet and
most streets were deserted in
the second day of a New Year
holiday. All stores were
closed, but the railroad sta
tions - strike-bound last week
were open. Streetcars, buses
and taxis functioned normally.
Although Socialist strike
leaders called for new demon
strations by frank and file
union members, the public
holiday apparently led most
of the strikers to remain at
home rather than demonstrate
in the streets.
Belgium' has been plagued
for two weeks by strikes,
demonstrations and riots over
the "austerity" program
brought on by the loss of The
Congo.
