Success In Belgian Congo
Leopoldville, Aug. 16.
King Baudouin's récent visit to the Belgian Congo and the mandate territory of Ruanda- the Urundi is likely to have deeper effects on future of Belgium's overseas possessions than was forecast here before he began his four-week, tour.
The great welcome given to the young monarch must almost certainly quieten criticism of "Belgian colonialism," while his friendly attitude to the natives was a clear indication that any colour bar should belong to the past.
The Royal visit, the first since that paid by the late King Albert 28 years ago, was undeniably a personal success for the 24-year- Births, Deaths, Marriages,akt King whore suddenly reveal Personal $5.00 per insertioned spontaneity and charm semned

The Salzburg Festival is being celebrated in a free Austria this year, for the first time since 1938, when Hitler's army marched in to enforce the Anschluss (union) of Austria with the German Reich.
And liberty seems to have given a new glory to this traditional festival of musle, and especially of the music of Mozart, Salzburg's most famous son, Never before, the critics are saying, has Salzburg looked so radiant as the sun lights up the flags of 26 nations which adorn the Festival House in honour of guests from all parts of the world.
