Leopold's slim majority triggers Belgian political crisis
In Brussels King Leopold II’s return was approved by 57.68 percent of voters in a plebiscite totaling 5,236,740 ballots. Premier Gaston Eyskens’ coalition met in emergency session to decide if the result constitutes a mandate for the king’s return. Liberal ministers opposed the plan, insisting a two thirds majority was required, while Catholic ministers favored the king’s return. If the king’s turnout faltered he would abdicate in favor of Prince Bedouin, raising the prospect of Belgium’s deepest political crisis in its 120 years as an independent nation. The vote tallies showed 2,933,382 for and 2,151,881 against Leopold, with 151,477 blanks.

Atomic secret sharing proposals seen doomed
Washington lawmakers warned that proposals to share atomic secrets with Britain appear dead after the Karl Fuchs confession. The British trial and Fuchs testimony raised questions about safeguards and prompted calls for iron bound guarantees before any foreign sharing. The 1946 act prohibits sharing military and industrial secrets with foreign nations, and talks with Britain on relaxing restrictions may not resume after the elections.
