head a delegation to inform the
U. S. Acting High Commissioner
here that an American veto of

Reparations
Claims Vetoed
By Austria

VIENNA (JTA)-The Austrian
Government will reject any pos
sible Jewish reparation claims.
Austria's attitude to Jewish rep
arations claims will be based on
provisions contained in the draft
of the Estate Treaty. which pro-
vides that Austria is relieved from
making any further reparations
payments.
Officials argue that Israel is
unable to raise any claims against
Austria. Austria, they say, has
never been at war with Israel and
had herself been a victim of Hit
lerite aggression.
The Austrian Secretary of Inte-
rior, Ferdinand Graf, addressing
public meeting, said that his
government will maintain the
pro-Nazi amnesty laws under
which more than 10000 former
Nazis will have their rights and
property restored
''1t appears that certain Ameri-
can circles are still unaware that
it was the resistance of the en-
tire Austrian people which so far
has saved Austria from sharing
the fate of the satellite states,
Secretary Graf declared. "Ac-
tions and comments which we
have heard recently from the I'm
tied States will not increase but
weaken the Austrian peoples will
for defense"

AVG Unit Credited Stopping Recent
 Fire Near Selawik

SEC. Russell D. Armstrong, Army instructor, returning from a field trip, reports that the Ma tional Guard of Selawik is mainly responsible for holding the recent fire near that village to as little damage as was possible.
 On the evening of Oct. 3, at about pm, the residents of Se- lawik noticed a red glow in the sky to the west of the village. At this time there was a strong wind of about 40 miles an hour blowing from the west
 The non commissioned officer in charge, Sic. Floyd Davis, al erted his men and made a forced march of about nine miles to the scene of the blaze His men, using whatever they could find along with items of their clothing, pro- ceeded to fight the fire until about three o'clock the next morning, when a rain shower came. With this help the men completely ex- tinguished the blaze.
 The area burned out was esti- mated to be four miles long and l12 miles wide. If the SelaWik unit had not stopped the blaze when they did it would have reached the willows and trees that surround the village and caused serious damage to the homes in that area.
 These men have been recom- mended for a Letter of Commen- dation.
