DUTCH PARLIAMENT
DISLOYAL COMMUNISTS FORCIBLE EJECTION THE HAGUE, Sept. 18 Communist deputies created a scene on the reassembly of the Dutch Parliament and were forcibly removed from the House. Simultaneously Communists assembled outside the Ministry of Social Affairs and became riotous when they were refused an interview with the Minister.
Queen Wilhelmina was cheered when she was being driven through the streets to Parliament. The Speech from the Throne did not contain the expected announcement of Princess Juliana's betrothal to Prince Bertil of Sweden.
The Communist disturbance arose when the senior member of Parliament at the conclusion of the Queen's speech, raised the traditional cry: " Long Live the Queen." Two Communist deputies, one of "whom is a Javanese, shouted: " Down with the Royal House." Other deputies immediately seized the Communists and threw them out.
The police arrested three Communist deputies concerned in the disturbance. They were released later and emerged looking pale, with their shirts bloodbespattered and their clothes rumpled.
