NEW ELECTIONS BEING
 DISCUSSED IN AUSTRIA
By Associated Press

Vienna March 5.-New elections are being discussed in consequance of the failure of the three political parties to agree upon the admins trative reforms on which credits are conditioned and also because of the opposition of the Germans to Chancellor Schober personally. The government apparently is unable to sparate the credit snarl from the po- litical crisis.
 The socialists absolutely refuse to accept the governments financial program They insist that the funds to stabilize exchange shall be con- trolled by the workers so that the foreign exchange policy will not in- tensify the industrial crisis. They demand the reorganization of state enterprises with the workers having representation and also call for other reforms.
 The pan-Germans apparently are solely opposed to Herr Schober per sonally. It is understood they will attempt to force a disclosure of the political phases of the recent Czech treaties which disrupted the coalition
 The rise in exchange has not brought about lower prices.
 The refusal of the metal and tex tile employers to base February wage readiustment on the index num- bers has brought threats of strikes.
