 WASHINGTON-Plenty of pub licity was given the fact that the Russians had barred the Allies from entering the city of Vienna, but it was kept very hush-hush when an Anglo-American- French mission fi- nally did enter Vienna on June 3.
 Under the Yalta Agreement, the United States and Britain were supposed to send military missions into Vienna. but during the height of the Polish trouble, when US- USSR relations were strained, the Russians had taken all the Vien- nese airports and wouldn't let us land.
 Wherf the Western Allies finally arrived in Vienna on June 8, things didn't go too well. There were some unpleasant differences with the Soviet Commander as to whether they could inspect all the city. He .contended that the Yalta Agreement permitted the Western Allies access only to the city of Vienna, which includes one airport
 The Western Allies, on the other hand, contended that Yalta per mitted them. access to Vienna grau' or greater Vienna, including the region around the city proper and all airports.
 In the end, the Russians yielded, permitting the Western Allies to inspect everything. The French British American military found that the Russians were acting req sonably in Austria, and it has now been agreed that the Anglo-Ameri- can occupation will extend to the west bank of the Danube, while the Russian occupation will control the east bank. sal <,
 The Western Allies representa- tiyes left Vienna June Il to report to SHAEF. It looks as if another hurdle in relations with Russia had been ironed out. A bad situation

DEM0BILIzATI0N RED ARMY FORCES
 BEING DISCUSSED

MOSCOW, June 23.-The 1000 delegates to the 18th session of the Soviet were scheduled today to take up discussion of a proposal to de- mobilize the Red Army on scale running into millions of men in the 13 oldest age groups.
