Big -Four Agreement
On Austria Refinery,
Oil Rights Reported
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Westerr
power sources said last night that
the Big Four Deputy Foreign Min
listers had reached substantial
agreement on the troublesome
question of oil exploration and res
finery rights in Austria.
It was the first word Of prog
ress by the deputies from the
United States, Britain, Russia
and France since they began
thrashing out the problem here OF
an Austrian independence treaty
These sources did not elahQ-
rate or attempt to explain the
nature Of the progress made at a
three-hour conference last night
a session that an American spokes-
man admitted was grim. But he
said the deputies did inch for
ward" in the prolonged. step-hy-
step process Of seeking q final
agreement.
The issue Of oil rights, however,
has been a big hurdle for the dep
uties to overcome. Though the
Big Four Foreign Ministers agreed
in principle on an Austrian settle
ment in Paris last summer, their
deputies ran into difficulty at later
meetings over the oil question.
The Foreign Ministers agreed In
Paris that the Russians should get
60 per cent Of Austria's oil rights.
leaving 40 per cent for the Aus
trians. At subsequent meetings
the Russians insisted on choosing
their so per cent, and leaving the
remainder to Austria. Just what
type of progress on this issue was
made was not disclosed.
Following last nights confer
ence, the deputies agreed to meet
again today-for the 200-plus
time-in hopes Of creeping closer
to agreement on q question which
has been argued out in Paris, Lon
don and New York since January.
1916.
No Western power source would
say whether last nights progress
resulted from the 15-minute talk
on the Austrian question which

LIS Absence Raises
Chungking' S Tension
As Reds Drive Nearer
by the Asseeiatsd Press

'CHUNGKING. Nov. 1s.-Twin
tensions gripped this uneasy capi-
tai Of Nationalist China today.
Acting President Ii Tsung-jen's
lingering absence increased q po-
litical crisis. And the Reds pushed
closer.
Chungking. accustomed as 1t is
to shocks, was rocked anew by
Hong Kong reports charging Ii
with negotiating with the Com
munists. These were called lies
by LIS secretary. Chiu Chang-wei.
Chiu said the reports were
spread deliberately In an effort to
widen the breach In Nationalist
ranks.
The Acting President has been
out Of Chungking ever since Gen.
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek ar
rived here from Formosa. They
haven't seen eye to eye on the war
for q long time. Ii favors an all
out stand against the Reds.
Chang wants to continue retreat
ing to stall for time.
Ii will return to Chungking in
q few days, his secretary said.
Chungking's days as q refugee
capital were running out. Ofhcial
reports acknowledged the Reds
had occupied the old city Of Peng-
shut. 95 miles east Of Chungking.
They claimed the Nationalists
xtill held the new city across the
Chen River.
Chungking's banks were be-
sieged by throngs. The people
were trying-with limited success
to withdraw deposits or ex-
change silver notes for silver coin.

Waits on Jerusalem

issue go over until next week.
The Security Council meets to-

the princely state over which
India and Pakistan have fought
and argued for the last two years.
The 11-nation Council stopped
a shooting war over disputed
Kashmir by a cease-fire order
last January l. The order came
after months of dickering by a
special commission Of the Coun-
Gil with representatives of India
and Pakistan.
Since then the commission has
tried in vain to get India and
Pakistan to sign a truce agree
ment and hold a vote so the pop
ulation could decide whether the
state should 60 to Moslem PAX
istan or Hindu India. Nearly four
fifths of the more than 1000, 900
Kashmiris are Moslem.
The commission now is asking
the Council to name one man to
mediate and arbitrate the dispute.
A long report, December IL. said
the commission was no longer ef-
fective in dealing with the two
countries.
The commission report said also
that neither Pakistan nor India
had satisfied completely the COM
mission truce program for with
drawing troops and stopping prop
aganda so as to allow a free
