Russia Reported
Asking Changed
Austria Regime
Declared Condition
Of Soviet Signing
Of Peace Treaty
BY the Associated Press

VIENNA, June IA high
government personality said to-
day that a recognized Commu-
mist Party spokesman, bidding
for control of the Austrian gov
ernment, had told two cabinet
members that Russia never
would sign a peace treaty with
the present conservatives -domi-
mated cabinet.
The informant said the Conn
munist leader, Parliament Member
Ernst Fischer, proposed a govern
ment empowered to act four years
without parliamentary restrictions.
The Communists would give such
government full support and there
would be generous assistance from
Russia"
Foreign Minister Mentioned.
If Austria wanted a peace treaty
with Russia, Fischer was quoted as
saying, Foreign Minister Karl
Gruber, member of the conserva-
tive Peoples Party, and Interior
Minister Oskar Helmer, a Socialist,
would have to be removed immedi-
ately.
Fischer could not be reached for
comment
The report came in the midst Of
swift developments in Eastern Eu-
rope, where Russian backed regimes
have seized control of Hungary's
government and brought about the
arrest of the chief political oppo-
nent to the Communists in Bull
garia.
Deputies of the four-power For
eign Ministers Council now are
meeting here in efforts to pave the
way for an Austrian treaty, after
failure of the Council to reach
agreement at Moscow. Chief STUN
bling block was the definition of
what constituted German assets in
Austria. -.-.
Regime Recognized by Allies.
The present Austrian government
under Socialist President DR.. Karl
Renner took Office December 20,
1945. Under his conservative chan
cellor, Leopold Figl of the Peoples
Party, Austria steadfastly opposed
Yugoslav demands, backed by the
Soviet Union, for part of Carinthia
and Styria as payment of huge
Yugoslav demand for $11 ,000, ,000, 900
reparations from Germany and Aus
tria.
The present Austrian government
has been recognized by Russia, as
well as by the United States, France
and Britain. The recognition, ten
dered year ago, did not affect the
authority of the Allied Control
Council to carry out Allied objec-
tives in the country.
Fischer told two members of the
Austrian government two days ago
that he had definite information
from Moscow that the Russians not
only would not sign a treaty, but
that repercussions could be ex-
pected from the Soviet side if the
western orientation" in Austria
was not changed, today's informant
said.
Viewed With Concern.
Figi's party has the support Of
many. Catholics and most of the
peasants in Austria. according to
the best available information.
Figl came to power in 1945 after
an election in which the Commu-
!, nists received less than 10 per cent
of the votes. The present govern
: ment is coalition of all three par
ties-Peoples, Socialist and Com
, munist.
Fischer's declaration was viewed
with considerable concern among
western diplomats here because of
