U. 5. Asks Big a Talks
On Austria Feb. 7
BY the Associoted Press

The United States proposed today
that Britain, France, Russia and
this country resume negotiations for
an Austrian peace treaty about Feb
ruary 7 in London.
The proposal was made by Samuel
Reber, a State Department official,
who is chairman of the deputy
group of the Big -Four Foreign
Ministers Council which handles all
work on the Austrian pact.
The big issue is setting up for
mula for determining what proper
ties in Austria that Russians may
claim under their right to seize all
so-called former German assets.
The United States and Britain,
with the cooperation OF France,
have opposed any agreement which
would give the Soviet Union an eco
nomic stranglehold on the small
non Communist Central European
country.
Negotiations have collapsed fire.
quently in the past, but each sue
cessive conferenlce has brought the
battling Big -Four a little closer to
agreement. The last breakdown
came at London early this year.
A Foreign Office spokesman IN
London said Britain has informed
the United States 1t is agreeable to
today's proposal for resuming talks.

Businessman
Reported Seen After
His Disappearance
Police to Quiz Witness;
Notes Hinting Suicide
Left by Percy c. Smith

Police today were to question
a man who reported he has seen
a missing" Columbia Heights
businessman on several occasions
since he disappeared Decem-
Der 6.
The disappearance of Percy C.
Smith, so, of 1451 Park road NV.
came to light yesterday when his
wife, Mrs. Edna S. Smith, 1474 Co.
lumbia road NV, filed petition in
District Court asking appointment
of a receiver for his estate. Mr.
and Mrs. Smith were not divorced
but had been living apart, friends
said.
Notes Hint Suicide.
Mr.. Smith left two notes limiting
at suicide.
The Missing Persons Bureau said
the man to be questioned today had
reported seeing Mr.. Smith near the
new Whitehurst Freeway several
times since the date of his reported
disappearance A steel and paint
ing firm in which Mr.. Smith had
an interest had a contract for paint
ing the freeWay, but the contract
went to another firm after Mr.
Smith was reported missing.
The Missing Persons Bureau was
notified of his absence after the
two notes were found in his apart
ment at 1851 Park road NV, but
officials today said they did not
place too much credence in the
suicide theory They pointed out
that a loaded gun was found in the
apartment.
Note Says Strain Is Too Great.
Neither of the two notes found
actually said he was taking his own
life. One, apparently addressed to
shis wife, had such sentences as
"* the strain has been too great
and "* tell Mr.. Beatty to take
over everything and wind up all of
my affairs"
Mr.. Beatty is w. Carroll Beatty, at
torney for the Prince Georges Bank,
according to Eugene Roberts, execu-
tive of the Smith Transfer g. Stor-

Also present were Capt. Frank

Gallery officials say most scholars
Believe the statue was begun about
1925. There are two interpretations
of the intended subject. The first,
documented by 1858 inventory of
the Medici collection. says the figure
represents David The mass under
the right foot being interpreted as
the rough block out of which Co
iiath's head was to be carved.
1t also was identified as an Apollo,
a subject in marble which Michel
angelo was asked to present to the
unpopular governor of Florence Bac-
clio Valoria about 1880.
Most recent scholarly opinion, gal

was begun as David and modified

Capitol Hill Reaction
Is Varied 10 Proposed
Military Pay Scale
Comment on New Scale
Ranges From Sympathetic
To Outright Hostile
Examples of Proposed Service Pay
Raises Sho1Dn in Table on
Page A-3.)
By John A. Giles

Capitol Hill reaction to the
proposal to boost military pay
by an average of Is per cent
ranged today all the way from a
promise of sympathetic consid-
Grafton to outright hostility.
Defense Secretary Forrestal re-
ceived the civilian advisory COM
mission report, which also included
a proposal that the armed services
archaic pay system be completely
overhauled. He said the major OBJ
jectives would be sent to the Budget
Bureau shortly.
Tydings Promises Consideration.
While the average increases
would be around Is per cent, actual
raises would vary widely-ranging
for example, from So per cent in
crease for a brigadier general to re
increase for recruit.
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland, who will head the Armed
Services Committee in the new Con-
gress, promised early and sympa-
thetic" consideration and added that
he agreed with the report that top
officers had received far fewer wage
increases than enlisted men and
lower ranking officers.
But Senator Johnson, Democrat
of Colorado, said Congress will turn
thumbs down on any such pay
boost plan because the law of sup
ply and demand still works"
I'VE have thousands who want tc
get into the services as officers and
we need a million or more privates,
he added I'VE can't get the million
privates by raising officers pay"
Report Called Helpful.
Senator LANCER, Republican, o1

at raising the pae of "top brass

the lowest grades.

War Menaces World
Again, Pope Says in
Christmas MESSAGE
Both Appeosement and
Preparations to Fight
Held PeriIine Peace
By the Associated Press

! VATICAN CITY, Dec. "a
Pope Plus XII-drawing a sor-
rowful balance for 1948-de-
clared today that once again the
world is menaced by war.
The Pontiff said in a Christmas
message to the world that the past
year, which at first had appeared to
be the start Of a surge toward true
peace, today seems instead open
ing upon the edge of a precipice.
The forces of the world, he said,
are moving toward two opposed
poles both desiring peace but both
placing it in danger" The Pope
did not mention Communism by
name, nor allude directly to East,
West differences.
Hard Trials for Church.
Some he said, ARE taking the
old saying. not entirely false, but
which lends itself to misunderstand-
ing and is frequently abused, that
If you want peace, prepare for
war"
Others, he said. believe they will
find salvation in the formula-peace
at any price. Both sides want peace,
he added, but both endanger it.
War and the postwar years. the
Pontiff said. had brought hard trials
to the Catholic church.
But, although beaten by tenn
pests" she preserved inviolate her
vital substance, he said.
Hopes for Reunification.
The Pope alluded briefly to the
/ Catholic Church hope for reuniflca-
tion of the Christian faiths. He
said his church rs anxious to find
the means of fastening that hour
she is ready for everything;
for everything except one thing;
that she be not asked to gain the
return of the children who have left
her-either in the distant past re-
cently-at the expense of any dimu-
milton or furnishing of the deposit
of the Christian faith"
Without mentioning Communism
by name, the Pope said he is aware
OF the narrowing path" that must
be Travelled by members of the
church whom "a public system of
violence has driven to cut them
selves formally away from the
mother church"
He urged formation of a COM
munity of nations which is in keep
ing with the will of God" He ex-
pressed hope the United Nations
would become the full and fault
less expression of this international
solidarity for peace
The Pope said the responsibility
of nations is clear.
Every violator of the law should
be banished in disgrace to solitary
confinement by civil society as a
disturber of the peace" he said.
He expressed hope for peace soon
in Palestine. His address lasted
80 minutes.
Yule Message Is 10th.
It was the 10th time the present
Pontif has given a Christmas mes
sage to the world.
The Pope spoke in reply to Christ
mas greetings offered by the Sacred
College of Cardinals. AS in the past,
he addressed his words to the world
at large.
The year 1948, he said, appeared
at first to be one that would lead to
reconstruction and true peace"
This hope, he said, has not been
realized.
Moral strength, the Pope said, is
necessary if the world is to advance
with firm step toward peace. Also
necessary, he added, is the courage
to look truth in the eye"
He said 1948 appears today to be
crucial point. Yet, he said, 1948,
despite its anxieties, has not been
entirely barren of rich and en-
