News in Brief: New King In Belgium. Scenes of royal pageantry unfold for the abdication of King Leopold, and the coronation of his son, Prince Baudouin, as new leader of the Belgians. Colorful scenes of triumphal parade to Parliament, where the 20-year-old monarch takes the oath. Nice shot of crowd cheering and waving. The new king speaks before assembly in French (nat sound). Someone shouts "Vive le roi!" - Long live the king.
