Cpl. Christian was one of four battle casualties flown here Wednesday for treatment at Walter Reed Hospital. He had what he called “a bad case of the shakes.” Even lighting a smoke was a task. The Army prescribed rest

and fishing. Today he had left for home.

“We were on a hill some 15 miles north of Taejon,”

“We even

Cpl. Christian recalled. “All of them must have had automatic weapons. They must have. There were too many bullets flying around. They couldn't help but hit some of us.” What happened next was an old story in Korea, Infiltration. Tanks. Men and more men. The position held by Cpl. Christian and his buddies was cut off. The tanks got behind them. Their artillery and mortars were silenced. The enemy kept rolling. “Nine of us started out. Somehow we got through the ring of tanks around us. “Two or three times, maybe even four times, I flopped to the ground. I just gave up. I couldn't go any more. But I got up and went some more, “Once we came up on two tanks. We thought they were friendly « + + three guys got it . . . we ran.”

Virtual State of Siege In Anti-Leopold Liege

BRUSSELS, Belgium, July 29 (UP)—The Belgian government today proclaimed a virtual state of siege in strife-torn Liege.

Police resorted to gunfire to quell Brussels’ worst riots since King Leopold III returned to the = throne a week ago. An armored battalion, recalled)’ from ovcupation duty in Ger-| many, was rushed to the anti-{’ Leopold stronghold of Liege, as: strikes, sabotage and violence: raged unabated in the campaign to force Leopold back into exile, ‘ In Brussels, reinforced state|: troopers fired their guns for the first time during today’s bloody riots. The police fired over the heads of anti-Leopold demon-

thousands of troops ahd banned large public gatherings in Bruspels, ‘Liege and Verviers in the face of the mounting violence, Liege was the first to be in a virtual state of siege. The procJamation called it a “state of|&# exception” because in Belgium|® there is no such term as state of| siege. The next strongest step after a state of exception would be martial law, Anti-Leopold demonstrators at Brussels hurled a hand grenade at mounted police who charged 8 dozen times within an hour with swords. Some 25 persons were injured by sabre slashes and rifie butts, Thirty were arrested. Palace Guarded Men and women tumbled to the ground as gendarmes jabbed rifle butts at demonstrators. A gunshot rang out during the riot, but no one was hit. Police fought their way through a barrage of stones, glass and chairs thrown in their way. .One gendarme was badly eut. Five persons were hurt in a riot earlier in the day in the same Place de Bruckere — Brussels’ Times Square—where demonstrators uprooted paving stones from adjoining streets in an effort to! block the mounted police.
