Western Powers Plan
To Test Reds on Austria
LONDON, Feb. 28—VP)—The Big Three Western powers ar
ranged a diplomatic test today to determine whether Russia actually
wants Austria to have an independence treaty. Russia's reaction may
be a straw in the wind on the prospects for peace or war in Europe.
The United States, Britain, and France said in a joint statement
they are "urgently examining new proposals" to break a long dead
lock between Russia and the West
and honor the pledge made in the
Moscovi, declaration of 1943 to re
store to Austria her full freedom
and independence.
Diplomatic informants said the
Western powers plan to offer Rus
sia a short and simplified treaty
draft to replace the 53-article doc
ument which has been labored
over in 258 meetings of the Big
Four Deputy Foreign Ministers
since World War 11.
As one of these informants put
it, the WeAern deputies will tell
their Soviet colleague in effect:
"Here is the old draft, on which
we have already secured substan
tial four.power agreement on 48
major points, and with it we are
offering this new document. We
thought you might prefer the new
draft, prepared in • 1952, rather
than the' old one, which has been
kicking around since 1945."
American officials lOW report
ers any new proposals advanced
by the West would certainly call
for simultaneous withdrawal of
all foreign troops from the little
nation Hitler drew into Germany's
orbit in 1938. Western sources
estimate there are 44,000 Russian
troops in the Soviet occupation
zone of Austria. United States,
British, and French contingents
are smaller.' Communications are
controlled and censored.

MUNSAN, 'Korea, Friday, Feb.
29—(W)—Senior armistice dele

a.m., (9 p.m. EST., Thursday),

are deadlocked, among other
things, on the Reds' insistence
that Russia be accepted as a neu
tral nation to help police a truce.

was re-referred to the. senior dele
gates after Thursday's fruitless
meetings. Staff off ice r s have
reached virtual agreement on all
points except the issue - of 'volun
tary repatriation of prisoners.

prisoners be returned regardless

ficers spent 22 days debating the
issue. •

Russell Joins
President Race
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28—VP)---
Senator Richard B. Russell of
Georgia got into the race for the
Democratic presidential nomina
tion today •but left unanswered
the question'-whether he will bolt
if the prize goes to ' President
Truman.
The 54-year old balding sena
tor automatically became a major
candidate of the Southern anti-
Truman Democratic faction which
has , fought the President's civil
rights program and has pledged
itself to block his re-election.
But Russell himself, gave no di
rect answer to the chief issue
implied in his entry into the race:
Will he lead a third party of some
kind•.if Truman gets the nomina
tion that seems his for the asking?
Observing that he didn't bolt
in -194 ' 8' when the states right
ticket took 39 electoral votes from
Truman, Russell told a crowded,
televised- news conference:
"I refer anyone to my record
for regularity but I do not put
party above country."

Japan Groups
Attack Keeping
Defense Forces
TOKYO, Friday, Feb. 29—(R)—
Japanese nationalist an d •leftist
elements joined today in criticiz
ing the new administrative agree
ment which- will keep American
defense forces in this country in
definitely.
The left-wing faction of the so
cialist party even is planning.. a
court attack on constitutionality
of the agreement, the Kyodo news
agency reported.
Signed Thursday, the agree
ment spells out the working de
tails of the U.S.-Japanese Security
Pact signed Sept. 8 at San Fran
cisco. It does not require diet
(parliamentary) approval, since
the diet ratfied the security pact
last Nov. 8 and Emperor Hirohito
signed it next day. It takes effect
whenever the peace treaty of San
Francisco goes into force.
Dean Rusk, chief U.S. nego
tiator of the administrative agree
ment, praised it as "another step
toward peace," but Japanese re
action was decidedly mixed.
Yomiuri, major Tokyo news-
Taper, said some Japanese wel
corned it as "a step toward inde
pendence," but that many others
uneasily declared, "we apparently
were taken in."

'datory pat on' the back to Gov.
Adlai Stevenson today while put
ting off for at least a month any

cal intentions.
In response to a question at a
news conference, the President
said Stevenson is one of the best
governors in Illinois history and
that's one of the best recommen
dations for the presidency.
Some Democrats would like to
see Stevenson get the party's nom
ination if the President decides
to retire.
The news conference exchange
occurred several hours • before
Senator Richard B. Russell of
Georgia threw his hat into the
ring as the second avowed 'candi
date' for top place on the 1952,
Democratic national ticket. Sena
tor Kefauver of Tennessee was
the first to announce and he has
been campaigning for weeks.

tical intentions and his opinion

rate points in today's presidential
interview, which also covered
such subjects as telecasting of
Congressional committee hear
ings, Alaskan statehood, 'and new
appointments.
