BELGIAN CABINET REGARDED AS ONLY A STOP GAP
Brussels, Auguër 11.
Belgium's new Coalition Cabinet, sworn in by tho Rogent, Prince Charles, today, after a 45-day political crisis, 'is regarded in political circles here as a "stop-gap" Government.
Its programme does not provide for a solution of the "Royal problem" which for five years has split the country over the future of the pro- vislonally exiled King Leopold.

Refugee's Swim Was In Vain
Montreal, August 12. The Canadian police today re-arrested an Austrian re- fugee who reached the shore of the St. Lawrence River after leaping from the ship that was taking him back to Europe.
The man, 24-year-old Leonard Galwitza, wid that he had made the escape, bid with a Polish com. panion 40-year-old Paul Rado wicz, who had drowned but the police doubted whether Radowicz had left the ship.
Galwitza told the police that ha and Radowicz had vowed "no earthly power" would make them return to Europe, and had plung- et into the swift waters of the St. Lawrence as their ship passed the vilinge of St. Nicholus.
