Russia Asks Austria
To Pay S2O0,O00,000
For German Assets
Eieht-Point PIon Offered
To End Big a Deadlock
Over Peoce Treaty
BY the Asseeioted Press

LONDON, Jan. 27.-A Soviet
Embassy spokesman said today
that Russia had asked Austria
to pay s2Oo,OOo,ooo in two years
as full settlement of Soviet
claims to former German assets.
He said this was part of an eight
point plan for resolving the four
power deadlock over the Austrian
peace treaty.
Ambassador Georgi N. Zarubin
asked for an early meeting of deputy
foreign ministers OF the United
States, Russia, Great Britain and
France to debate the Russian plan.
The proposal was based on views of
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov, as
expressed to the Big -Four foreign
ministers last fall.
British sources said they expect
the deputies to meet by February /.
Partial List of Demands.
The Russian spokesman read this
partial text of Russian demands:
l. Russia to receive concessions to
oil areas equivalent to two-thirds of
current oil production in Austria,
plus property rights to all buildings,
plant, equipment. and other property
forming part of these production
areas. Russia to receive oil prospect
ing concession rights to two-thirds
of all undeveloped areas in Eastern
Austria formerly owned by the Ger
mans. The Soviet Union was rep
resented as entitled to this under
the Potsdam accord.
2. Oil concessions to run for SO
years.
3. Russia to receive oil refineries
with a total capacity of 100000 tons
annually of crude oil.
4. Russia to receive those under
takings concerned in the distribu-
tion of oil which now are at her
disposal.
S. Russia to receive all former Ger
man assets in the Danube Shipping
Co., including ships now in Hungary
Romania and Bulgaria, plus a 25
per cent share in the company S
assets located in Austria proper.
Big Four to Cede Rights.
6. The Big Four to cede to Austria
property rights to all former Ger
man assets in Austria except those
specified in the oil and shipping
clauses. Austria on her part to pay
Russia 5000 100000 in currency free
ly convertible within two years.
Austria to pay to the United States,
France and Great Britain amounts
to be agreed on within period to
be fixed.
7. All former German assets
which have come into Russian pos
sessions not to be subject to aliena-
ton without Russian consent.
These undertakings to be covered
by the definition of German assets
and to opearte in accord with Aus
trian law, on condition that Austria
raises no difficulty in regard to the
export of profits in the form of out
put or freely convertible currency.
The foregoing German assets to be
transferred to Russia free from any
obligations which may have accrued
to the date of actual transfer.

French Premier Facing Defeat
On One Phase of Money Plans
Sehumon's Proposal for Free Trade in Gold
In France Loses in Assembly Committee

The gold trade bill provided that
the holders turn in gold or stocks,
bonds and bank balances they have
maintained abroad despite previous
government orders. A levy of Is
per cent would be assessed for pre-
vious disobedience of the order.
The holder would be permitted to

ed unfavorably to the full Assembly
The commissions vote does not au-
tomatically kill 1t. But, since the
commission follows the Assembly S
party lines in miniature, defeat OF
the bill in its present form appeared
certain. The vote was II to Is, with
five absentions.
Thus one phase of Mr.. Schuman S
monetary program appeared in jeop-
ardy. But the devaluation of the
franc is not affected.
The devaluation, which went into
effect Monday, was accomplished by
cabinet decree and is not subject to
action by the Assembly. 1t cut the
value of the franc almost in half.

lie, Senator Capehart, Republican Of
Indiana told reporters he had been

that Mr.. Truman planned such a
move.
Asked why, Senator Capehart
said he did not know for sure, but
added he has heard that bankers
look upon Eccles as being too ideal

"I am told,' Senator Capehart
continued, that they feel his pol

been responsible in part for in

Mr.. Truman, in his November II
message to the special session OF

To carry this out, Mr.. Eccles

set up special reserve"
Mr.. Snyder, in testimony to the
committees, opposed this but never

Eccles proposal.

Cost Of European Aid
Called Impossible 10
Fix Within ) Billion
However, General Electric
Official Backs Plan
Before House Group
BY the Associated Press

Philip D. Reed, chairman of
the board of General Electric
Co., gave Congress a business
mans estimate today that no
one can tell within $4,000, 900, 600
how much the European Recov-
cry Program eventually will cost.
Earlier Senator Taft, Republican
of Ohio, predicted a GOP-Demo-
cratic Senate coalition will cut the
$500 100000 asked to start it.
Mr.. Reed said that despite un.
certainties as to the cost he Is
convinced that We must proceed
with the program
Without it, he said, Western
Europe will be converted into "a
political and economic concentration
camp"
Former Federal Official.
Mr.. Reed testified before the House
Foreign Affairs Committee which is
holding hearings on the aid-to-
Europe program. Senator Taft made
his prediction in an interview.
The so-called Marshall Plan pro-
poses that the United States give
Europe help for four years and
three months in rebuilding its war
shattered business and economic
structure. When President Truman
first presented it to Congress, the
cost was estimated at SIT 900 900 900
Since then, all figures except for
the first Is months have been
dropped from pending legislation
The administration asks $500, 900,
900 for the first Is months.
Mr.. Reed spoke from a back
ground as a businessman who has
spent four of the last seven years
in Government service. For a yeal
and a half he was with the Wal
Production Board in Washington
and for two and a half years in
England as deputy and then chief
of the American mission for eco
nomic affairs in London. He has
made four trips to Europe since the

Undersecretary of Commerce
William c. Foster told the House
Commerce Committee "in our opin-

He conceded that there is an oil

argued:
/. The United States imports
more oil than it exports and ban
on exports might adversely affect
imports.
