warned the people OF Austria that
the time for them to turn against

reporters question, in effect, ad-
vised the AusJrians that their post
war destiny depends to a consider
able extent as this moment on their
following the pattern of Romania
and Bulgaria and coming over to
the Allied side.
Mr.. Hull was asked what status
Austria should now be considered
to have.
He recalled that the Moscow con-
ference Of Allied foreign ministers
last fall issued declaration prom
ising Austria her independence.
But he emphasized that the decla-
ration reminded Austria that she
had heavy responsibility for hav-
ing participated in the war on the
side of Hitler
Mr.. Hull also laid stress on the
point that the United States, Brit
ain and Russia had agreed that in
restoring Austria to independence
account would be taken of the con-
tribution which the people made to
their own liberation
The Secretary added that he
wanted to say today that the time
for Austria to make that contribu-
ton is almost up. He did not give
any indication as to what might
happen if the Austrians did not
turn on Hitler in the immediate

By the Associated Press,
NEW YORK. Sept. 11.-A decision
granting some appeasement from
the wage freeze of the Little Steel
formula" is expected from Presi-
dent Roosevelt personally, the New

3 A Washington article by Louis
Stark said a six-man tripartite panel
OF the War Labor Board, COM
prised of spokesmen for labor, in
dustry and the public, would submit
a 'voluminous 'fact-finding report"
to the WLB within a few days.
This is not to say that the Ma

rubber stamp, merely announcing
the Presidents views" the article
said adding that the board and the
Presidents closest advisers would be
consulted and would offer alterna-
tives to Mr.. Roosevelt.
The problem is more DO
lltlcal or perhaps just as political
a question as it is an economic one" "

Rumor Spreaders
Feel Whip Of
WLB's Denial

WASHINGTON (FP)-News-
paper writers who make habit
of dishing out inside stuff
manufactured mostly in their
active imaginations, found tough
going in a statement issued April
by Natl. War Labor Board
Chairman William II. Davis.
The Washington Post printed
a story that public members of
the WLB had advised Economic
Sterilization Director Fred NJ.
Vinson that they believed it
would be necessary for them to
turn down the pending soft coal
wage agreement.
Davis replied: That statement
is wholly untrue and is hereby
denied absolutely and without
reservation. In making this de
nial / am authorized to speak for
all the public members of WLB
and for Judge Vinson." ."
The WLB chairman said the
board has not taken the case
under consideration pending a
report by the Cooke committee
named by Pres. Roosevelt to in
vestigate the actual travel time
(portal TO portal) in bituminous
coal mining. He said he expects
the Cooke report to be sent 10
the President soon.
