Brussels, Aug. 3.- Mr Gaston Eyskens, the Belgian Prime Minister, tonight warned the United Nations that in sending troops to Kalanga it was taking on a task which it did not have the means to carry out effectively.

ESSENTIAL
The butler didn't get his way
By OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
London, Aug. 4.
After a "difference of opinion —'a clash of per- sonalities" which led to his resignation, 44-year-old former royal butler Cronin left London yesterday for a rest in the country.
Cronin who had been in the service since he was fourteen had reached the top of his profession when he was appointed butler to Princess Margaret and Tony Armstrong-Jones,
"Now," he says, "I am going to forget all about my 25 days at Kensington Palace and the only position I have left in unfortunate circumstances. I have heard some rumours that Mr Armstrong-Jones and I exchanged blows.
"I have been in my job far too long to allow such a thing to happen.
"I went to Kensington Palace on July 4-In- dependence Day. And I have always maintained my independent position. The job has to be done in a firm and strict manner according to the way I have always worked. This was not the case in that job. "I was not allowed to employ any staff, even a charwoman. I didn't pay them their wages and many other matters were not left in my hands as they should have been.
"Mr Jones---I always called him sir, he doesn't like to be called Mr Jones-did all this himself.”
Cronin wiped his brow with an immaculate hand- kerchief. He said: "There were differences of opinion, a clash of personalities. This led to a climax and I have taken the only course left to me--out of Kensington Palace.

WAY TO TO SEE SON IN PEKING
Runaway heiress weds boy friend secretly
London, Aug. 3.“
Sylvia Kwik, runaway daughter of a wealthy Chinese businessman, mar- ried Pandėlis Papa Lazarou, a Greek Cypriot, in Scotland last Friday, the High Court was told here today,
The elopement of the 18-year- old girl and her 23-year-old sweetheart ended on a happy note with the Judge discharging legal injunctions against them, and the girl's parents wishing them a long and happy marriage.
Sylvia, daughter of Mr James Tjoe Bink Kwik, disappeared about six weeks ago at the same Ume as Lazarou, a male nurse.
VALID
Counsel for Mr Kwik said the girl's parents were satisfied the marriage was valid.
He said that after Sylvia's disappearance in June, the High Court made an order forbidding Lazarou from associating with Sylvia and forbidding their marriage.
But the girl's parents did not wish to be vindictive and would not press the motion to commit Lazarou to prison for contempt of court.
"Mr and Mrs Kwik feel that their duties as parents are at an end and they hope that the marriage will be long and happy. The responsibility "for that is now her husband's and not theirs," counsel said.
Counsel for Lazarou Sylvia was made a ward of the court on May 28, but nothing further was done, and the order lapsed on June 27, when they left together for Scotland.
