Riots Break Out In Belgian Streets
BRUSSELS, Belgium - (UPI) Police fired at rioting strikers in Liege today, wounding two.
It came as most of the rest of Belgium, particularly in the Flemish north, returned to work after 26 days of crippling strikes and violence.
The street battle exploded in the industrial Walloon area of the south, where Socialist party and trade union leaders vowed to maintain their strike against government austerity plans "for months if necessary."
The new fighting came when about 500 hold-out strikers attacked and smashed a streetcar in the Liege suburb of Chenee. The strikers had gone there straight from a mass meeting that had decided to continue the Socialist-led walkout in the Liege area.
GENDARME REINFORCEMENTS poured into the area after the street car was attacked. The demonstrators swarmed after them, and the hard-pressed police opened fire to free themselves.
When the rioters attacked, passengers fled the streetcar. The demonstrators poured into the car, breaking windows and wrecking the inside.
Stones and bullets began flying when a Gendarme Jeep Patrol reached the scene and radioed for help.
Only minutes before, the rioters had heard national strike leader Andre Renard bitterly complain over the failure of workers in the Flemish regions to continue the antigovernment strike movement.
ABOUT 3.000 persons attended the rally at Grivegnes, another Liege suburb, and cheered Renard wildly. Renard has been championing the French-speaking Walloons' demands for autonomy within the kingdom.
Earlier, the national Socialist
party and labor leaders proposed a plan for economic expansion and full employment as a substitute for the government austerity plan.
The government of Premier Gaston Eyskens jammed its austerity bill through the lower house of Parliament last Friday, and expects to win even more handily in the upper house where it has a bigger majority.

Lawrence Police Adopt 'Hands-Off' Sit-in Policy
Lawrence Police Chief John Hazellet and KU Chief Joe Skillman have adopted a "hands-off" policy in the event of future sit-ins in the Lawrence area.
In a conference at the KU Traffic office in Hoch Auditorium this morning, the two chiefs said they would take action against sit-in participants only on the basis of a warrant signed by a judge.
"If the persons conducting the

They added, however, that this did not mean police would not act immediately in the case of a violation of city or state law committed in an officer's presence.

sit-in are orderly, do not block sidewalks or entrances, and do not create a public disturbance, we will take no action." Chief Hazelet said.
"If, however, one of the persons involved signs a complaint and a judge issues a warrant, we will arrest the person or persons named in the warrant."
Chief Hazelct explained that in order for a person to obtain a warrant he must obtain a complaint from the city or county attorney, take it to a judge and sign it in his presence. On the basis of this complaint the judge may or may not issue a warrant of arrest, the chief said.
Law enforcement officers must execute the warrant, if issued.

Patton Says Students Hedge on Sit-in Ideals
The campus Presbyterian minister said last night that University students do not have the guts to follow their ideals as far as integration and other such problems are concerned.
The Rev. John H. Patton at Sunday Evening Fellowship at the Westminster Center said holding ideals is not enough;
"A FEW YEARS ago some white members of a work caravan in West Point, Miss., had to make an agreement with teachers and officials not to ride in cars with Negroes nor speak to Negroes on the streets.
"We Christians don't have the guts in our two to five years on campus to make an intensive study of conditions and prejudices as they exist and to take appropriate action. For that action might get us into trouble after graduation."
"This was reasonable since the white people,would have been endangering their lives and property and the lives and property of many other persons if the convictions of the white workers had been pushed too fast too far. Similar intelligence judgments should be taken elsewhere," the minister said.
"It is not sufficient only to have ideals, but we must have the intelligence to put them into action at the right time with the right strategy."
The Rev. Mr. Patton backed up his call for intelligent judgment of the situation by recalling an incident in Mississippi.
The Presbyterian minister said he was not implying any condemnation of students participating in the sit-in Thursday.
Another possibility, Heitz said, is that the Civil Rights Council may get its resolution on the agenda if it achieves the necessary 2,000 signatures.
THE REV, MR. PATTON said judgments on each moral situation and the best line of action must be made by each individual.
Tom Heitz, Kansas City, Mo., junior and a leader of the recent Lawrence sit-in, said in the discussion that the All Student Council would probably pass a referendum bill discouraging sit-in demonstrations and encouraging legal means toward integration in public establishments.
Discussion varied on all facets of integration and its effects.
Heitz emphasized that such a referendum or resolution, if one is presented to the ASC, is definitely only informative and in discussion stage
"There may be a rewording of the proposed resolution before the ASC which would in effect make it a referendum, or there may be another bill proposed for a middle-of-the-road stand," Heitz said.
HE TOLD HIS audience that he had talked to three members of the ASC yesterday and that the members thought it was almost imperative that the council as a representative body on campus do something in light of the sit-in Thursday.

F. ROBERT SEARCY, Shreveport,
La., senior, said that "most educators within sociology agree that race is mythical, that there is no pure race.
"Yet individuals at KU, which is supposed to be an educational institution, recognize the term race in papers and petitions circulated. Is that education?"

complaint but they must be prepared to prove beyond a doubt in court the truth of the allegation in the complaint." Chief Hazelet said.
On the basis of former Attorney General John Anderson's interpretation of Kansas law, Chief Hazelte felt a complaint sought against a tavern owner for discrimination would not be granted.
In his opinion, Anderson said:
Under the Kansas law, discrimination is illegal in hotels, restaurants, and places of public entertainment or amusement, for which a municipal license is required.
Pro-Communist units were said to be especially active in the Nam Nhiep Valley where they drove government forces out of Ta Viang four days ago. Ta Viang is 20 miles south of Xieng Khouang.
in his opinion, Anderson said: "...it would appear doubtful that an establishment wherein only cereal malt beverages are sold to the public, would be a place of public entertainment or public amusement."
AS FAR AS can be determined, there has been no court decision clarifying this interpretation, and until the legality can be clarified by a judicial decision, law officers must abide by the attorney general's interpretation. Chief Hazelet said.
County Attorney Wesley Norwood said this morning he could not say whether he would issue a complaint against a tavern owner for discrimination until he was acquainted with the facts of the particular case.
"I would not want to go out on a limb and say I would or wouldn't until I was acquainted with the circumstances," Mr. Norwood said.
He said that in the event he denied to issue a complaint, he would advise the party concerned on other methods of obtaining one.
Pro-Communists Advance in Laos
VIENTIANE, Laos — (UPI) Five days of rocket strikes by Laotian government pilots in U.S.-supplied planes have failed to halt the advance of pro-Communist forces in the strategic Plain of Jars region, informed sources said today.
Reports from the region said the Pathet Lao rebels were continuing to push into government territory from the plain, which has been in rebel control for some time.
Government T-6 training planes, all obsolete American models, strafed and rocketed rebel positions in the Ta Viang stronghold yesterday to try to keep the Reds from consolidating their gains.
Returning pilots reported the insurgents were constructing air strips at Ta Viang, using a number of trucks.
For the first time, the Laotian pilots reported a direct hit—one of the planes knocked out a truck with a rocket.
Travel Restriction Set on U.S. to Cuba
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The United States today imposed restrictions on travel to Cuba similar to those in effect for Red China and some other Communist countries.
The State Department announced that Americans will not be allowed to go to Cuba unless they have passports specifically authorizing such a trip.
The Department said all outstanding U.S. passports "except those of U.S. citizens remaining in Cuba are being declared invalid for travel to Cuba unless specifically endorsed for such travel."
