Lustig Given a Years
And S115,000 Fine in
Tax Evasion Case
Nephew Drows Three
Years and Accountant
Two; Appeal Plonned
By the Asxociofed Press

NEW YORK, July 10.-Henry
Lustig, president of the Long
champs restaurant chain, today
was sentenced to a four-year
/ prison term on his conviction on
charges of evading payment of
$2,872,766 in Federal income
taxes.
Judge Harold Kennedy also fined
Lustig $ll5,000
E. Allen Lustig, nephew of the
restauranteur, drew three-year
prison term and Joseph Sobel, chief
accountant for the chain, was SEN
fenced to two years Imprisonment
for their part in the conspiracy.
Defendants Will Appeal.
Lloyd Paul Stryker. chief defense
counsel, gave notice of appeal and
the defendants remained free under
S., 900 bail
A jury of six men and six women
deliberated less than four hours
June l9 in returning guilty verdict
on all % counts of the indictment
The maximum penalty possible was
III years in prison and $3.50, 900 in
fines, but the jury recommended
clemency.
The Government had recon
mended five-year prison sentence
and the $230,000 fine for the elder
Lustig.
The Government, during the tria
which lasted more than a month
accused the Longchamps officials
of falsifying the firms books by
exaggerating purchase figures anc
undertaking receipts.
The elder Lustig personally pock
eted thousands of dollars in tip
left by Longchamps patrons an,
withdrew more than 100000 il
large denomination bills from tn
Longchamps account, according t
Government testimony.
Defense Pleaded No Liability.
The defense contended through
out the trial that the LustigS wer
not liable to criminal prosecution
because they voluntarily disclose,
the tax delinquencies and paid tn
Government $1,800,000
Internal Revenue agents testified
however, that investigation of tn
Longchamps case already had begun
when the Lustigs offered to settl
their tax arrears.
Boris Kostelanetz, special assis
tant attorney general who prose
cuted the case, said the Govern
ment estimates that the defendant
still owe upward of 5000, 900 IL
taxes and 100000 in penalties.
Judge Kennedy, at the time o
sentencing, said he had been assured
by counsel that these taxes will b.
paid"
The Government was understoo,
to be planning civil court action
however, to recover the tax arrear
and penalties.

Austria Assured
WeWon' 'tAgree
To Red Seizures
US. to Renounce Share
Of Germon Assets
In American Zone
BY the kssocioied Press

VIENNA, July 10.-The United
States Government announced
today it would not recognize the
Russian conf1scation of German
properties in the Soviet zone of
Austria which fell into the cate
CORY of forced transfers as de-
fined at the London Conference
of January, 1943.
At that conference, the Allies
agreed that they would not recog
nize the transfer of properties tc
German ownership in German-oc-
cupied areas If such transfers were
made forcibly, even if there was ap-
parent willingness on the part OF
former owners.
Gen. Mark w Clark. American
commander in Austria, announced
at the same time that the United
States was prepared to turn over tC
Austrian trusteeships all German
assets in the American zone pending
negotiations of the Allied powers or
the United States proposal to re-
nounce the American share in Ger
man assets in Austria.
Pronouncement by Truman.
Gen. Clark presented the Austrian
government communication from
President Truman only three hours
after Chancellor Leopold Figl had
appeared before an extraordinary
session of the Austrian Parliament
to announce his government was
not prepared to accept the Russian
of German assets in
the Russian zone.
The United States pronouncement
was certain to have the heaviest
reverberations in Austria where the
Red Army's sudden order trans
ferring large share of Austria s
industrial potential to the Soviet
Union had caused CONSERVATION.
The pronouncement concluded with
these words:
The United States Government
also wishes to make clear that 1t will
recognize no physical transfer oi
property as conforming to the terms
of the Potsdam agreement which
does not also conform to the terms
of the United Nations declara tior
on forced transfer of January, l943
and which does not leave TO Austria
the sovereign control of an indie.
pendent country over the resources
within its borders, which was en-
visioned in the Moscow declarator
of 1943"
No Immediate Soviet Reaction.
There was no immediate reaction
to the United States note from the
but Austrian government
sources expressed great satisfaction
Properties claimed by the Russians
represent a large proportion OF
Austrian industrial capacity and
their loss at this time would be
a severe blow to the Austrian econ
omy.
Gen. Clark's action followed
closely the abrupt order of Col. Gen
L. V. Kurrasov. Soviet commander
announcing the transfer of all
German assets in the Russian zone
to Soviet ownership.
The announcement was certain to
have a deep political effect in
Austria.

you" said Gen. Clark's letter tc
Chancellor Figl. that the President
