Communist Vote Dips
----4------l-----
In East Germany
BY the Assoeiaied Press

BERLIN, Oct. 19.-Communist
candidates for parliament in
Soviet-occupied East Germany
won 99.3 per cent of the votes in
Sundays single-ticket election,
the Red government said yester-
day. This was drop from the
99.6 per cent claimed by the Reds
four years ago.
In free elections for provincial
legislatures in neighboring Aus
tria, the Communists took a
beating along with extreme right
lists. Even in Russian-held lower
Austria the Communists won
only a little more than 5 per
cent of the votes and about SO
per cent in the Soviet sector of
Vienna. The total Red vote in
the half of Austria that balloted
was 6.5 per cent, a drop from
the 81 the Communists won in
national elections last year.
The heaviest Red setback in
popular vote was in Soviet-oc-
cupied lower Austria, where they
dropped lis per cent from the
vote they scored last year in
the Federal parliamentary elec-
tions. The overall drop was re-
f1ected in the failure of the Com
munists to gain a single seat in
American-occupied Salzburg and
French-occupied Vorarlburg. In
Vienna, they lost one of their six
minority seats.
In the Soviet zone of East
Germany, the government radio
said 11.889,817 of the 1906 .987
eligible voted, a turnout of 984
per cent. A total of 11,807 ,497
voted for the Red-dominated
national front ticket for the
400-member Volkskammer (par-
liament). Only the official pro-
government candidates appeared
on the ticket.
The new Volkskammer will
meet within 80 days to approve
a new government. There is no
doubt 1t will continue the pres
ent Red-dominated regime Of
Premier Otto Grotewohl.
In Austria, the pro-western
coalition of conservatives and
socialists appeared secure for
three more years.

Mr.. Bowles added that it is
conceivable there could be an

the buying power Of the hwan
