Leopold May Abdicate
Brussels, Belgium—(U.P.)-Socialist party leaders demanded today that King Leopold abdicate immediately. The demand increased the chance that a general election will decide his future.
The demand constituted a serious setback for premier-designate Albert Deveze who now is struggling to form a three-party coalition government to solve the crisis revolving around Leopold's return. Deveze wanted liberals, socialists and Pro-Leopold social christians (Catholics), to permit Leopold to return to the throne for two weeks and then abdicate in favor of his son, Crown Prince Badouin. But the Socialist rebuff appeared to have killed his plan.
Deveze suffered another setback when the Catholics announced that they were standing firm on their position that Leopold should be returned to the throne for life.

Guilt In Attitude Toward The Negro
Nearly every individual has some feeling of guilt about his attitude toward the Negro, Hilden Gibson, professor of political science and sociology, told members of the Social Work club Wednesday.
"A new approach to the problem of race relation feelings should evolve in the abandonment of logical argument," he said. "The greatest hope lies in the development of group therapeutic process."
Because a person feels guilty about this attitude, he uses argument as his defense. This only adds to the feeling. Dr. Gibson said.
Dr. Gibson based his talk on an interview survey made at the University two years ago by Mrs. Louise Cochran, instructor of sociology. Dr. Gibson and Carroll Clark, professor of sociology, assisted her in the survey.
Tribe Still Wants Chief
Gaberones, Bechuanaland —U,(P)—Leaders of the Bamangwato tribe vowed today to extend their policy of non-cooperation with Britain unless the mother country lifts its banishment of their chief-designate, Seretse Khama, and his white wife.
The headmen gathered here to welcome Khama, who is flying back to this British protectorate to be with his wife, Ruth Williams, a former London stenographer, when their first child is born in June.
Britain has ruled that both Khama and his wife must leave Bechuana land for at least five years after the child's birth on grounds that their marriage threatens the well-being and unity of the Bamangwato tribe.
But Peto Sekgoma, Khama's uncle and spokesman for the headman, warned there would be trouble unless the Khama is permitted to take up his duties as chief.
London—(U)M—Scotland American officers charged American crimes had contributed to a wave of violent crimes in Britain by teen-age hoodlums.
Magazines Aid British Crime
The officers said officials were reading the magazines themselves to determine whether they should be banned from public sale.
They said a 16-year-old youth charged with assaulting and robbing a woman told police he learned how to make knuckledusters and a bicycle-chain whip by reading "cheap American literature."
Suppose He Locked The Car?
West City, III.—(U.P.)Jesse Dugger's car ran out of gas on a country road near here. When he went back for the car the next day, it was missing four wheels and tires, generator, battery and carburetor.
The Battle Of Lexington A Victory Or A Defeat?
Was the "Battle of Lexington" a battle or simply an unprovoked attack on American colonials by British soldiers?
U. S. history books call it the first battle of the American Revolution, a belief that will be reflected on Wednesday April 19th when the people of Lexington and Columbia operation ammonies observing the 175th anniversary of the "Battle of Lexington", notes the National Geographic Society.
Yet, few Americans know whether the fight at Lexington was a battle or murder of the celebrated minute men.
Shortly after the shot heard
In 1775, many Americans themselves were convinced that the seven colonials who died on the mist-overed village green at Lexington were attacked and killed in cold blood by the 400 British regulars searching to Concord to destroy colonial military supplies.
epching to Concord to destroy military supplies.
"round the world" was fired, the provincial congress of Massachusetts prepared documents which offered proof that the British soldiers had blundered at Lexington. These were sped to London by a specially chartered ship. They arrived there eleven days before the British capital received General Gage's report—claiming that Americans fired first.
The Massachusetts documents were published in London papers and deposited at Guildhall. Aroused Englishmen, convinced that Americans at Lexington were needlessly slain by the soldiers of the Crown, attended a London protest meeting presided over by the lord mayor himself. A petition was sent to the king but nothing came of it.
