Copyright) W (Received Feb. 27, 3.15 p.m.) LONDON, Feb. 26 Thirty mounted and 100 foot police and three fire-engines blocked the entrance to Downing Btreet when hundreds of people marched to Downing Street. After Mr C. R. Attlee, Mr H. Morrison and Miss Ellen Wilkinson had delivered the Labour Party’s resolution to No. 10, the police, amid a roar of boos, herded the demonstrators in the centre of Whitehall. Two hundred men and women broke the cordons and continued to march up and down the street, preceded by men with bugles, holding up the traffic. The mounted police were forced to oharge several times to break up the ranks and clear the road. It was revealed that the lire engines were summoned to Downing Street by alarm immediately the march began from Trafalgar Square. Protest Against Recognition The demonstration in TrafnYrar Square was organised by the National Council of Labour and the Trades Council as a protest against the recognition of General Franco. Former members of the International Brigade headed the procession.
