SURVEY

Amid Communist Protest Demonstrations In Paris

Sees Belgium's Contribution To Atlantic Army

Brussels, Jan. 9.

General Dwight Eisenhower completed his survey of French armed power amid Communist protest demonstrations on Tuesday and flew to Brussels to survey Belgium's contribution to the Atlantic army.

Belgium will offer immediately two divisions and another at the end of the year for the Atlantic pact force of 50 to 60 divisions.

French Communists attempted to whip up popular protests against General Eisenhower as the "MacArthur of Europe" just before the supreme commander left Paris, but the demon- stration fell far short of Red expectations.
