Bankers Urged 10 Provide
For Small Depositors
BY the Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 18.-
American bankers were advised to-
day to provide-at a loss If neces-
sary-banking facilities for small
depositors to avert any possibility
of Government control of the Ma
tons financial structure.
1--WE have only to consider the
system of postal savings to find an
example of competition provided for
banks by political leaders who will
take advantage of any opportunity
to engage in activities of social and
economic character" said B. M.
Harris, president of the Yellowstone
Bank at Columbus, Mont.
Mr.. Harris, member of the
executive council of the American
Bankers Association, urged bank
ers to guard carefully the good will
of their small depositors.
Approximately one-third of the
number of all demand deposit ac-
counts in country banks have bal
ances of less than $780," he said.
white 1t is true that these small
accounts may represent an item of
expense to the bank officer in charge
of operations, nevertheless, we can
never lose sight of the good will
of the millions of Americans own
ing these small bank accounts"

On Report to Moscow

BERLIN, Feb. 18.-Top Allied

on a joint report on Germany for
the foreign ministers meeting in
Moscow have failed to resolve any
of the major disagreements which
have stalemated four-power con-
troll machinery here for six months,
1t. Gen. Lucius D. Clay said today.
The American military governor
designate told news conference
the report had been only so per
cent prepared and approved, with
the deadline for it's completion a
week away. However, he said he
believed the report would be ready
pretty close to schedule"
THE common reports finished
so far on demilitarization, finance,
labor and manpower and certain
phases of economy are the ones we
have been able to agree on so far"
Gen. Clay continued.
"At the present moment I am not
too happy about the report, but
many matters of worry may be set
tied by February 25."

Reds Term U. 5. Pact
with Canadians Iron
Fist in Velvet Glove
BY the Assecioisd Press

MOSCOW, Feb. 18.-Labeling the
recently announced American-Ca-
madam military agreement an iron
fist in a velvet glove" the Soviet
government newspaper Izvestia de-
clared today that Canada was turn
ing over territory and her army to
the United States in preparation
for aggression.
Izvestia's commentator said the
agreement was evil and had
nothing in common with the in
terests of peace
CThe United States and Canada
announced February IL that
without entering into any formal
treaty or binding agreements they
intended to continue in peacetime
their close wartime collaboration
for the military security of the
North American continent. Uni
fed training, standardized arms
and the use of each others mill
tary, naval and air facilities were
agreed upon)
Prime Minister w. L. Mackenzie
King and his helpers, said Writer r.
Norm, are trying with all their
might to hide the real nature of
the Canadian American agree
ment."
They are producing be-
fore the world an iron fist in vel
vet glove "he continued, land then,
It's not their own, but an American

Speedy Firing by U.S..
I0f Thousands Seen in
Deficiency Bill Cuts

The firing Of thousands of Fed
eral employees during the next four
months appeared likely today As q
result of drastic cuts made by the
House Appropriations Committee in
the Urgent deficiency bill reported
out yesterday.
Government officials estimated
that as many as 10000 employees
might have to be dismissed by June
80 If the House group is upheld by
Congress. It was pointed out, how
ever. that this group Of workers are
employed in war agencies and their
dismissals by the end of the year
had been contemplated in any
event.
"It's just that 1t will cause a lot
Of confusion in these war agencies
II they have to dismiss so many en-
ployes In so short a time" a Gov
ernment ofilcial said today.
The agencies that suffered heavy
cuts were the Once Of Price Ad-
minlstration and the Civilian Pro-
duction Administration. OPA has
about 1,700 employees here and CPA
approximately 1900 workers in
Washington.
The possibility developed that the
Veterans Administration might
have to start reducing its personnel
for the first time since it began its
expansion program.
Chairman Taber and his commit
tee reported they were mot at all
satisfied" with VAS operation and
contended that some VA bureaus
were overstaffed The agency's re-
quest for additional funds was cut
about so per cent. However, the
committee said that 1t would look
into the situation further and con-
slider additional requests after March
81.
Other Federal agencies face per
sonnel cuts in the next few months
if their appropriations requests are
denied in forthcoming supplemental
and deficiency bills. However, the
employees that would be fired in this
manner are already slated for dis
missal and this would only hasten
their dismissals by fve or six
months.

Deputies Acrimonious
In Discussing Ban on
| Germans in Austria
by the Assoeiated Press

LONDON. Feb. 18.-Soviet Rus
sia insisted today that Austria deny
citizenship to Germans who en-
tered the country after Hitler's rise
to power and that she permanently
bar immigration from Germany.
British sources said the Russians
also demanded that the four-power
deputies writing a treaty for free
Austria should provide that Ger
mans who settled in Austria in the
years of Nazi dominance be ex-
PEELED.
On the naturalization issue, in
formants said, the Russians were
opposed by the British. Americans
made reservations, while the French,
in general, supported the Russian
suggestion, the informant added.
The British took the attitude that
the question of determining who
qualities for Austrian citizenship
should be left to the discretion of a
sovereign Austrian government and
that the treaty would contain other
adequate guarantees against a
resurrection of German influence.
Discussion Acrimonious.
Gen. Mark w. Clark, American
deputy, said the Russian proposal
would be acceptable to America If
the prohibition against naturaliza-
ton applied only to former members
of the Nazi Party.
The discussion. which British
sources said at times approached
acrimony, ended in a disagreement,
which will be passed on to the
meeting of Foreign Ministers in
Moscow next month for a settle
ment.
Final action was deferred on an
American proposal which would
require Austria to maintain her
present legal ban against a restora-
ton of Hapsburg monarchy. Most
of the opposition came from the
British, whose general argument
was that the 'Hapsburg issue is so
dead it does not have to be men,
toned in treaty"
Numerous clauses Of a military
section of the Austrian treaty, pro-
hibiting variety of weapons, were
approved by the conference.
Deputies agreed that Austria must
not have any atomic weapons, naval
craft or weapons. or artillery with
range of more than 80 kilometers
09 niles. Another accepted clause
forbids possession of or use of poison
gas, or the acquisition or manufac-
ture OF any civil aircraft of German
or Japanese design. 1t was also
decided to prohibit manufacture by
Austria of more war equipment than
the country needs.
Treaties Largely Unwritten.
East-West misunderstanding left
the treaties for both Austria and
Germany largely unwritten.
This means that the task of
drafting peace terms will fall largely
to the Big Four's foreign ministers
when they meet in Moscow less than
three weeks hence.
Deputies assigned to draft the
Australian treaty concede they will
not finish their job-partly because
of inability to reconcile the views
of Russia with those of the West
and the deputies working on the
German treaty are afflicted with the
same atmosphere of mutual distrust.
The deputies, by order Of their
chiefs, must end their session Feb
ruary Is, week from today.
p In conference circles here the
opinion prevails that good" peace
treaties undoubtedly will be writ
ten, but only after some very pre-
else phrasing and some ghigh-level
plain talking dissipate the fog Of
diStrust.
