S.. Improbable

Vienna, Jan. 13.--Tension over the
existing economic and political stu
alton in the Austrian republic seems
to, be increasing. Doors "f the big
hotels in Vienna are shuttered At
dusk because of communist demo;l-
strations against them as symbols OF
profiteering.
Postal employees announce they
have called a strike. Mail collection
ceased at 6 o'clock last night and tel
ephone and telegraph service will be
suspended if matters are not settled
before that time.
IT. is believed, however, that an ad.
justment is improbable and that
general strike will be called.
Officials of foreign circles who have
come into close contact with the sit
uation realize the seriousness.

the fiscal year. Senator E. H. Ken

Senator Peterson Of Sargent, while
the appropriations committee of the
senate had the bill under considera-

The committee also in revising tho

Deny Deficit.
Independents asser: that Attorney
