Small Austrian Army
Favored by Deputies
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. 17.-Deputy for
eign ministers of the four leading
Allied nations agreed today that
the free, independent Austria" OF
the future should have an army.
The Military Affairs Committee
of the deputies divided, however, or
the size of the army and the char
acter'of equipment, an American in
formant said.
1t was certain that limitations
would be imposed to make it i'm
possible for Austria ever to assume
an aggressive attitude toward ever
her weakest neighbors. Austria also
will be obliged to forego ultramod-
ern weapons and perhaps an all
force.
The deputies of the United States
Russia, Great Britain and France
were preparing draft treaties for the
ministers who will meet in Moscow
next month to write the peace fol-
Germany and Austria, which was
part of the Reich during the war
The American informant said the
trend of the Military Committee
negotiations suggested that Austria
would be allowed a security guard
of about $4,000, including gendar-
merle and guards for forests, rivers
and frontiers. The permitted
strength would be far below that OF
Yugoslavia, Greece and Czecho-
slovakia and probably a little less
than the military potentials of the
late Axis states, Bulgaria, Romanis
and Hungary.

Eisenhower S Friends
Doubt He Ever Will
Run for President
By the Associoied Press

The belief that Gen. Eisenhower
Army chief of staff, never would be
available as presidential candi-
date has been expressed by some Of
the generals Midwest friends who
gave three major reasons.
These friends told reporters, or
the understanding their names
would not be used, that some OF
them urged Gen. Eisenhower some
months ago to consider seeking the
Republican nomination for 1913
They said the Army chief of staff
argued, in turning them down, that
/. He believes he reached the
pinnacle of his career when he ac-
cepted the surrender of the Ger
mans as supreme Allied command
er in Europe and that even the
presidency would be somewhat OF
an anticlimax.
2. He is a professional soldier
trained since boyhood in the mill
tary profession, and believes mill
tary training is not the best for an
occupant of the White House.
3. His military mind clings to the
thought that he cannot be disloyal
to his commander in chief, President
Truman, for whom he has great
affection.
The informants added that Gen.
Eisenhower indicated he never
would be available for the presi-
dency, principally because of his
belief that his military training
imposes barrier.
These friends declared the gen.
eral has no ambition to be President
and that he told them he has not
been affiliated with either political
party.
They added that he was adamant
in brushing aside their suggestion
that he resign his post to devote
himself to politics between now and
next year.
In Florida last month Gen. Eisen-
hover denied a published report
that he was considering a presiden-
tial candidacy, declaring it "a lie"

81 Interest Paid by U. S.
Is Income Tax Deduction

Payments by the Government on
CT loans to veterans can be deducted

to $4,000 on a nonreal estate loan.
F. w. Kelsey, Veterans Admins
tration finance chief, said the ruling

1900 Miners Idle
AT 50 Canadian Pits
By the Associoied Press

GLACE BAY, N. S., Feb. 17.-F'ifty
coal pits in Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick were idle today as $4,000
miners of the United Mine Workers
canadian Congress of Labor, de-
Gliding mo contract-no work, u
stayed home.
The strike cut Canada's coal pro-
duction by half.
The miners contract expired jan
uary 81. A strike first was called
when negotiations for new wage
agreement between the union and
Dominion Steel & Coal Corp, broke
down.
However, the walkout lasted cnly
three days, the men returning to
work on a two-week contract extern
sion to allow a government appoint
ed conciliator time to attempt settle
ment.
Subsequent talks between the
company and the union and three
party conference at Ottawa Satur-
day failed to settle the main issue as
to whether wage boosts should be
conditional on increased production.
Freeman Jenkins, district union
president, told workers Thursday
the contract would not be further
extended if weekend discussions in
Ottawa did not produce results.
The strike began automatically at
midnight Saturday.
The miners are asking straight
wage increase of s1.40 day. The
basic daily rate is 1884.

an hour today in protest against
the deportation of 300 uncerti-
fed immigrants from Haifa tc

Traffic was halted for the first II

Cold Threatens Britain
With Another Week
OF Fuel Emergency
BY the Assoeiofed Press

LONDON, Feb. 17.-Forecasts
of continued cold weather
threatened today to prolong for
at least another week a fuel
crisis responsible for crippling
factory shutdowns and electric
power cuts throughout the ma
ton.
Although the cabinet was re-
ported hopeful of setting a date for
easing emergency measures it in
voked last week to meet the crisis,
no immediate end was in sight for
power rationing DEGREES which have
left homes, stores and Offices with
out electricity for five hours daily.
Coal stocks at power stations have
been built up to 1912 day supply
as compared with the nine-day sup
ply which was on hand when the
government first ordered all plants
closed in SO English and Welsh
counties and began restrictions on
domestic consumers.
A hint that conservatives would
renew in the House of Commons
their cry to abandon the govern
ment's program to nationalize
major industries came yesterday
from Anthony Eden, Conservative
deputy leader. Mr.. Eden issued a
statement declaring:
1T is the duty of each one of us
to do everything in his or her power
to assist the country in this, critical
hour. A national effort is needed
to meet a national emergency.
Nobody would seek controversy at
a time like this. Yet when the
Prime Minister chooses this moment
to tell us that he is going ahead
with the full Socialist program, ma
tional unity is not thereby en-
couraged.
Let us rather put first things
first .. The responsibility of
the government is indeed a heavy
one. Let them shoulder it in
national and not a partisan spirit"
