Allies CONSIDERING '
Separate Occupation
Zone for Austria.
By the Associated Press,


PARIS, May 28.-Plans to Gre
ate a separate occupation zone for
Austria, with Gen. Mark w. Clark
as American representative on a
four-power governing council at
Vienna, were reported today under
consideration by the Allies.
In line with. the Big Three agree
ment that Austria be recreated as a
separate nation, it is felt in some
quarters that the country should
be treated as a district unit for oc-
cupation purposes and given less
stringent treatment and more en-
couragement for building up a
strong government.
Differing from original occupation
plans which called for Austria to be
largely in the American occupation
zone and its demilitarization to be
handled along with that of Ger
many, the plan now being consid-
cred calls for occupation zones for
American, British, Russian and
French forces.
A RuSsian-SponSOred government
already has been set up in Vienna,
but Is expected to undergo some
changes before being granted formal
recognition.
Field Marshal Sir Harold Alex
ander was said to be the British
choice for a place on the Austrian
governing council and Marshal
Feodor I. Tolbukhin the Russian
representative. The French have
not yet decided on choice.
1t was expected the plan gener-
ally would have the approval of Gen.

what he says to visitors and what
visitors say to him.
"A visitor has no right to say any,
thing.
I'm afraid that's all you'll get"
He added that he could talk to
you about food some other time"
One reporter wanted to knowshow
the White House looked to its occu-
pant who left 1t IL years ago, and
the response was that, naturally, it
had changed. ..
Asked to drop In
In announcing that former Gov
Landon and Gov. Dewey had been
invited to the White House, Mr.. Ross
said the President had asked them
in letters ito drop in on him for a
talk any time they may happen to
be in Washington"
Asked what they might talk
about, Mr.. Ross said that no subject
was specif1ed-that they had just
simply been invited to call.
The President also scheduled an
other food conference today with
Undersecretary of the Navy Bard,
Assistant Secretary Of War McCloy
and Assistant Secretary of State
AcheSon.
Meanwhile, Chairman Thomas of
the Senate Agriculture Committee
said he thought the 70-year-old Re-
publican leaders record as food
administrator and European relief
director Is years ago merited his
being considered for duty now.
The same argument also has been
advanced frequently in Republican
quarters.
Mr.. Hoover refused to discuss his
mission here In advance of the
meeting.

Security Conference
Worried by Problem
OF Feeding Europe
BY the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 28.-
Hunger in war-torn Europe is
haunting the United Nations Con-
ference, posing an alarming prob
lem for the architects of peace
the Associated Press reported to-
day from San Francisco.
Hunger, itself, is seldom men,
toned officially. but delegates say
the future of the new league de-
pends on how hunger is relieved in
liberated countries.
They argue that the future per-
manent- peace Of Europe hinges on
the restoration of reasonable
standard of living and employment
Most of them have seen for the
first time the report Samuel I. Rose
man submitted to President Truman
on the need of civilian supplies for
the liberated areas of Europe.
They agree with him that a
chaotic and hungry Europe is not
fertile ground for establishing
stable, democratic, and friendly gov
ernments.
Prospects Of Relief Gloomy.
mo government in liberated Eu-
rope can survive" explained a Bel
gian diplomat, IF the people are
allowed to go hungry. Only govern
ments which relieve that hunger
can live"
A survey of government officials
from Belgium, Holland, France,
Greece, Yugoslavia, Luxembourg,
Norway and Czechoslovakia disclosed
the extent of their alarm over the
food situation.
Seen Most Critical Problem.
Meanwhile, an official 18th Army
news release in Germany declared
there were only sufficient supplies on
hand to last the civilian population
possibly through the month OF
June"
Military government officers be-
lieve that the collection, distribu-
ton and provision of the minimum
food required for civilians is now
the most critical problem in occu-
pied Germany" the statement said
Contributing to the situation, it
added, is the fact that "displaced
persons have been largely supplied
with food from German stocks
rather than from imports"
In an effort to cope with the situ-
alton, the Allied military govern
ment was reported distributing more
than $4,000 tons of seed potatoes
and l,500 tons of imported seed
wheat. In addition, 678 tons of
miscellaneous farm and garden
|seeds-of which 66 tons have been
imported-are being distributed.

Senate Unit Drops
Blanket Exemption
From $500 Fund
By J. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate Appropriations
Committee today approved a
substitute $2,500-a-year expense
allowance for members of Con-
gress. which, its advocates hope
will overcome opposition to the
original proposal.
The new draft eliminates the
blanket tax exemption recommend
ed originally and gives members in
stead the opportunity to claim tax
deductions for expenses incurred
here.
Revenue Rule Overcome.
The new amendment seeks to
overcome an Internal Revenue Bu-
reau ruling that Washington is the
place of business of members of
Congress. This ruling, members
contend, keeps them from deducting
expense items allowed other taxpay-
ers away from home on business.
The amendment provides that
for the purpose of determining the
deductibility of expenses under the
income tax laws, the home of a
Senator, Representative, Delegate
and the resident commissioner from
Puerto Rico shall be deemed to his
domicile in the State for which or
in which he is chosen, or in the ter
ritory or possession, as the case
may be-"
The original amendment reported
from the committee last week. stip-
ulated the $2,500 was not to be re-
garded as income and therefore not
taxable.
Same as Salary Increase.
Under the substitute, the $4,000
would have to be reported as though
1t were a salary increase. Senator
Overton, Democrat, Of Louisiana,
in charge of the bill, said the In
ternal Revenue Bureau would then
treat expense deductions claimed by
a member of Congress as it would
that of any other taxpayer, claim
ing business expenses while away
from home.
In the recent hearings on the
legislative supply bill Senators took
exception to a ruling they said had
been upheld by the Board of Tax
Appeals which had the effect of
preventing members of Congress
from deducting expenses incurred
here.
When the issue comes up on the
floor later today it will still face the
threat of a point of order by Sem
ator johnson, Democrat, of Colo
RADIO, who said last week he would
raise it, Senator Overton indicated
he would oppose the point of order,
and expressed the belief that the
new amendment will be acceptable
to the bills managers in the House.

More than a half million Allied

French civilians have been brought
out of Germany since April l by

6. Congress has established sup

There remains, however, a major
gap in our reconversion program:
the lack of adequate benefits for
workers temporarily unemployed
during the transition from war to
peace. I urge the Congress to close
this gap.
I am confident that, with ap-
propriate measures, we can avoid
large-scale and lengthy unemploy-

However, some temporary unemploy-
ment is unavoidable, particularly
when total rehabilitation becomes
possible. Even if reconversion pro-

shirk our obligation to those tempo

of their own.
To produce what is needed for the
Pacific war, We must appeal to the
workers to accept and remain in
jobs which they ultimately must lose
when munitions production ceases.
The Government has thus incurred
moral obligation to these workers
and to those who have stuck faith
fully to their posts in the past.
Defects in State Laws.
To fulfill this obligation, we must
rely principally upon our existing
system of unemployment insurance
However, the existing State laws en-
brace three major defects:
l. Only about 100000 of our
