> Neutrality
In Cold War
VIENNA, Austria ()-The Big
Four agreed yesterday on final
terms for an Austrian treaty of
independence.
This country's foreign minister,
mindful of an impending top-level
East-West meeting, called it "a
turning point in world history."
U. S. Secretary of State John
F. Dulles, British Foreign Secre-
tary Harold Macmillan, French
Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay
and Soviet Foreign Minister
Vyacheslav M. Molotov will sign
the treaty here Sunday which!
makes Austria neutral in the cold
war.
Ratification Means Independence
Ratification will mean independ-
ence for the first time in 17 years'
for this nation of seven million
with an area roughly equivalent to
Maine or South Carolina.
Ninety days after ratification,
70,000 occupation troops of the
four powers who have been in Aus-
tria for a decade will be with-
drawn. Ratification is expected to
be completed by Dec. 31.
For a while yesterday it looked
as though a deadlock over a clause
dealing with economic concessions
of Russia to Austria might block
or delay the treaty signing.
Full Unanimity Reached
But a communique from the Big
r Four ambassadors after a meet-
ing declared "full unanimity has
been reached on all articles of the
draft treaty."
It added that by the end of this
week the Big Four foreign min-
isters will meet here with repre-
sentatives of Austria "for the ex-
amination and signature of the
Austrian state treaty."
The ambassadors of the West-
ern Powers bumped into the dead-
lock three days ago when the Rus-
sians balked against revising Arti-
cle 35 of the treaty to include re-
cent concessions to the Austrians
made in talks in Moscow last
month.
Oil Fields Returned
These involved return of the
great Zisterdorf oil fields and the
Danube Shipping Co. to Austria.
The ambassadors finally decided
to make the concessions an annex
to the treaty, climaxing with suc-
cess nine days of negotiations.
?-Foreign Minister Leopold Figl
told the Austrian people that Sun-
day's signing will not only be a
significant date in the "history
of Austria, but it will also be a
turning point in world history."
The ambassadors did not take
up yesterday the question of
guaranteeing Austrian neutrality,
and this may be discussed by the
foreign ministers in their week-
end meeting here.

An Austrian peace treaty was
Russia's "trump card" in her ef-
forts to dissuade Germany from

yesterday.
"Russia held off until the very

Plan T oRelease
Vaccine Quickly
WASHINGTON fAP) - pks
men for the United States Pub-
lic Health Service indicated yes-
terday that-if all goes well-the
signal may be given today for lim-
ited resumption of inoculations
with the Salk polio vaccine.
They said they expected to hear
within hours from a scientific
team re-testing vaccine made by
Parke, Davis & Co., Detroit.
If the report from Detroit is fa-
vorable and if Public Health offi-}
Ials here concur, they added, there
is likely to be quick action to re-
lease batches of the Parke-Davis
product previously approved and
now in the hands of doctors.
Urged Innoeulation Suspension
At the beginning of the week
the Public Health Service urged
states to suspend their inocula-
tion programs until federal offic-
ials had rechecked the safeguards
being used by drug firms produc-
ing the serum.
These doublechecks began at

Behavior Problems
The boys who attend present a
wide range of behavior problems.
Some are having difficulty in
school, some in the home, and oth-
ers in the community at large.
The Fresh Air Camp was estab-
lished by the University as a sum-
mer workshop for seniors and
graduate students in education, so-
ciology, psychology and other re-
lated fields.
Reuther ,Tialk
Praises GA W
CINCINNATI MP)-The guaran-
teed annual wage is a step toward
the creation of a "larger economic
pie to benefit everyone," Walter
Reuther, President of the CIO and
The United Auto Workers, said
yesterday.
Reuther addressed the First Bi-
ennial Economic Conference of
the CIO International Union of
Electrical Workers, which like
Reuther's UAW is seeking guaran-
tees of an annual income.
If full employment is possible
during a war, Reuther argued, it
should be possible during peace-
time so that all Americans can
share in the "good things of life.'
The key to the problem, he
maintained, is not in production
but in distribution.
Government officials should re-
alize, he said, they can "balance
the budget of Uncle Sam by bal-
ancing the family budgets of peo-
ple, who are not being paid
enough."
He said many industries are not
operating at capacity because of
a lack of purchasing power.

anteed wage in the automobile in-

300.
Money Left Over
With money left over from pre-
vious appropriations, the new bill
would give the Defense Depart-
ment $43,081,000,000 for the com-
ing fiscal year.
Amendments designed to pre-
vent the manpower cuts were
shoutedhdown in a rapid series of
voice votes.
Eisenhower's military program
calls for a total armed force of
2,859,000 by June 30, 1956, com-
pared with 2,961,300 this June 30.
Army Takes Cut
The Army would take the brunt
of this cut-87,000 men.
The unsuccessful fight to block
the Army-Navy-Marine Corps cuts
was led by Rep. D. J. Flood (D-
Pa.) who said he was not saber
rattling but believed in the Theo
dore Roosevelt dictum: "Let's
tread softly and carry a big stick."
Rep. Flood said the administra-
tion's main argument for cutting
the armed forces was to get a bal-
anced budget, and he added:
"That's a sham, you know the
budget won't be balanced.'
Democratic Supporters
He picked up some Democratic
supporters, including Rep. G. W.
Andrews of Alabama and Rep. M.
Price of Illinois, but he was out-
,numbered by members of both
parties.
Rep. C. Cannon (D-Mo.), chair-
man of the Appropriations Com-
mittee, told the House the next
war would be decided in three or
four days-"at most a week,"-
and he said the Army and Navy
would not have time to get into
full action.
"What could we do with three or
four more divisions?" he asked.
"We wouldn't possibly use them."
Program Emphasizes Air Power
Rep. Cannon said the admini-
stration program emphasizes air
power, with swift and massive re-
taliation against an aggressor, as
well as a strong reserve force.
Rep. John R. Taber of New York,
top Republican on the Appropri-
ations Committee, said the bill
followed President Eisenhower's
" recommendations and urged the
House not to "run out on the
~ greatest military leader in the
world."
The amendments offered by
Reps. Flood and Andrews would
have kept the Army at its project-
ed June 30, 1955, level of 1,114,-
s 000, the Navy at 672,000 and the
Marines at 215,000.
t President's Plan
The President's plan calls for an
Army of 1,027,000, a Navy of 664,-
000 and a Marine Corps of 193,000
at the end of the new fiscal year.
The Air Force would be increased
during the year from 970,000 to
Flood also lost his fight to main-
tain an active fleet of 1,066 ships
instead of the 1,001 programmed
by the President.
In all, the defeated amendments
would have added $413,793,500 to
the bill.
The Air Force budget provides
7 for an active aircraft fleet of 20,-
692 during 1956, compared with
19,872 this year, and for procure-
ment of 2,333 craft next year.
