Soviet Tactics in Austria

austria appears deSClned TO become
more than ever d focal point in the
diplomatic battle shaping up between
Soviet Russia and the western powers.
This is evidenced by number of Soviet
moves, ranging from Vienna to Lake Sue
cess, N. Y, the temporary headquarters
of the United Nations.
On the very same day, July 10, the
Soviet authorities in Vienna launched two
protests against phases of American policy
toward Austria, while Andrei Gromyko
started a stubborn fight before the U. N
Security Council to block Austria's appli-
cation for membership in the United
Nations
The Soviet moves In Vienna were char
acterized by that cynical casuistry which
has become standard practice in Moscow
diplomacy. Lieut.. Gen. Kurasov, Soviet
high commissioner in the Allied Council
for Austria. started the ball rolling by
registering heated protest against the
terms of the relief agreement signed on
June Is between the American and
Austrian governments. Under that agree
ment, Austria promised that none of the
food or other relief shipments would be
used for anything but the purposes in
tended, averting such abuses as sale or
shipment out of the country, and that
American inspection would be permitted
to see that the agreement was being lived
up to.
The reason for these provisos was OBJ
vioIsly to block Soviet Russia from mis-
using such supplies in its zone, which it
has been Systematically exploiting in con-
travention of international agreements
and over the protests of its other allies.
Yet now General Kurasov rushes to the
defense of Austrias independence and
sovereignty, which he claims has been
violated by the agreement Imposed" by
the United States! He therefore demands
that those terms in the agreement be
forthwith abrogated.
Another Soviet protest registered before
the Allied Council on that same day con-
cerned the American decision to pay the
Austrian government in dollars for the
costs Of occupation. This move had been
gratefully hailed by Austria as a notable
alleviation Of its financial difficulties. That
is undoubtedly the reason why Moscow
want any betterment of Austrian economy.
The precise grounds for this Soviet pro-
test do not yet appear.
Meanwhile, at Lake Success, Mr.. Gro
myko was fighting every step OF the way
to keep Austria from becoming member
of U. N. He first tried to keep Austria's
application off the Security Councils
agenda, and when he was outvoted he
| waged another fight to block considera-
ton by the Membership Committee with
similar lack of success.
Mr.. Gromyko's argument is that the
peace treaty with Austria had not been
drawn up, and that until it was, Austria
could not be even considered for member
ship Our delegate, Herschel Johnson, and
others, spointedly reminded Mr.. Gromyko

was the sole reason why 1t had not been

This and That
BIZ CharleS.E. TrdcetDell.

Cats are odd animals, in nothing more so
than their ideas Of ownership.
These ideas are a growth with them evil
dently, not thing full blown or sudden.
Take the case of Blackie.
He has never been out of the house. but has
met on friendly terms all newcomers, especially
neighborhood cats that find his food good.
Not once has he resented other cats eating
his salmon or meat, or in any way shown
jealousy Of them.
Even the fact that they were interlopers
did not seem to register.
1t was only after Smoky, Persian had made
himself at home for month that Blackie
showed signs of disturbance.
He had, from the first, been much interested
in the fluffy cat PerSianS are noted for their
silky coats Of long hair and their fluffy tails.
Common or short haired cats often regard
the Persians with doubtful eyes, but probably
no more so than any strange cats.
Blackie would follow Smoky around the
house, on his visits, but never showed any
real signs Of real animosity.
Then suddenly, out of = clear sky. he
launched an attack.
Blackie's speciality is in going down the
staircase in two jumps.
That is, instead of taking the steps one at a
time, in run, he jumps from the landing to
ately jumps from there to the first floor.
He does this not so much to achieve speed as
to show off.
The double Jump pleases him.
His big saucer yellow eyes fairly glow in his
funny little part-white face.
watch mel" he seems to say.
y -
That day the feat came in handy
Old Smoky started down the steps, with
P1ackie neeripU of him from the ton
Then the big idea came
Just why it came no one could know, not
even cat
But as the graceful Persian glided down the
steps, Blackie tensed himself-and sprang.
He landed on the seventh step from the top
just as the Persian struck the step below
With another broad leap, Black1e passed over
him and landed on the floor below.
Smoky ran into him, and there was q tussle
out Of which emerged a much-rumpled Persian
with fiend after him.
Streaking for the back door, Smoky de-
manded to be let out
He went through the screen door with the
black and white cat slapping at his tall
And now every time the Persian comes in
again, the same scene ensues. The two cats
are not exactly enemies, nor are they friends.
They are, indeed, almost human!
The interesting thing is to consider when the
seeds Of conflict were sown.
They were not present at first because both
cats were free from any particular evidences
OF spleen, except what might be considered az
natural from the home cat.
The animosity arose, We believe, when
Blackie realized that the Persian was deter
mined to make himself quite at home.
Once he got this idea, he did not like It, A
long rs he could make out to himself that the
other was just q visitor, he was willing to share
his food with him.
But when the strange cat made himself toe
much st home-ah, there was where the trouble
began.
In the. ancient words he had outstayed his
welcome.
Who says cats are not almost human?

drawn up; also, that the great powers,
including Russia, had long ago considered
Austria a victim of Nazi aggression whose
independence and sovereignty was to be
fully re-established. But, of course, all
that was water over the dam, so far as
Mr.. Gromyko was concerned, and it is
only too obvious that another Russian veto
is in the offing to block Austria's entry into
the United Nations.

DR.. Sutherland's Work and Mrs. Evans
To the Editor Of The Star:
In your issue Of Sunday, July s, there is an
excellently written article by your special cor
respondent Jessie FAINT Evans, covering the
experience and the achievements of DR.. E. A..
Sutherland, secretary of the recently estab-
lished Commission on Rural Living of the
Seventh-day Adventists, which I read with
deep interest.
I came in contact with the work OF Dr.
Sutherland years ago, and it Is source of
satisfaction to me to see his important and
significant contribution to human welfare set
forth In such an understanding and readable
way as your correspondent has done it.
Certainly with the possibilities of atomic
warfare before us, together with the rapidly
accelerating crime wave, it is heartening
thing that a religious denomination is en-
couraging its members to seek homes and
living in rural communities

No Escape in Prospect?

To the Editor Of The STAR
OF the much that has been written on the
new labor law, this from the United States
News in its July issue seems to me the most
specifically informing: Employers had their
fling in the 1s2os, muffed it in 1929 and paid
for the aftermath during the 193Os when Gov
ernment stepped in to set new rules
Labor leaders enjoyed their fling in the
late 193os and l940s to date They muffed it
in 1916 and 1s47 and now will pay by working
under new rules.
Whats happened is that the pendulum has
made new swing. However. in the process
OF swinging it has tangled both workers and
employers in red tape of Government rule
from which there will be no future escape "

WCTU Contribution

10 the Eo1Lor Oh Inc otar.
The House has passed and there is now
pending in the Senate H. r. 1179 which would
authorize an appropriation in the sum of $1,000
to help to pay the cost Of transportation and
entertaining foreign delegates from 80 or more
nations to the Worlds WCTU convention, held
at Asbury Park, June 5-10.
This was not an ordinary temperance con-
vention as might be assumed by reason of its
name.
The appropriation voted by the House is
entirely in harmony with past practice in rela-
ton to similar ethical conventions and is in
no sense a departure from the custom of
Congress- There is long list of similar and
larger appropriations.
An appropriation for $4,000 was made by
Congress to help finance the Worlds Congress
Against Alcohol when held in Washington in
1914, and similar sums for score of other in
ternational gatherings both here and abroad
Ten thousand dollars was voted by Congress for
the same Worlds WCTU convention when held
at Washington in 1887.
The amount now proposed in the House bill
is the smallest sum on record, voted to finance
the attendance and entertainment of delegates
from 80 foreign countries at time when those
countries have been wrecked and their people
impoverished by the late World War.
This sum is inflnitesimal when compared
with the $450,0OO, 900 voted to Greece and Tur-
key, the $3.50 900 900 credit to Great Britain,
the $4,000, ,oo0 900 in goods and food for foreign
relief to those same nations as were repre-
sented at the worlds convention, and the
pending Marshall plan for world reconstruction.

The organization of the Mis-
souri, synod was partly a protest
to control of the church by out
side powers or ecclesiastical auth
critics and partly an attempt to
establish a soundly Lutheran
church in America. From the very
beginning, the young church took
a definite stand by which the
old Lutheran confessions, origi-
mating in the time of Martin
Luther, were adopted as dec
laration of loyalty to the Holy
Scriptures.
Conservative Doctrine
The Synod has adhered to its

throughout the past century. And
the fear of some Well-meaning
friends that conservatism plus
democracy in a church would
soon spell ruin in America has
been in vain. The Synod has

ent of the globe and is the largest
