European Correspondent of The Star
VIENNA, May l2.-In the
closing hours before their first
general election since winning
their independence. Austrian po-
litical leaders seem to be search
ing almost desperately for an
issue to arouse the average voter.
The effort of both major
parties to drag the issue of COM
munism into the picture and use
IL to their own advantage re-
suits in confusion of ideas
remarkable even by European
political standards.
Today the country is plas-
tered with posters wildly de-
plotting the dread--if somewhat
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that will
follow for Austria if the other
side wins in tomorrow's vote
One put up by the Conservative
Peoples Party shows a dark and
dismal road Of socialism leading
toward bloody horizon domi-
mated by the harmer and sickle
The Socialists. on the contrary,
show a black conservative raven
spreading his wings over the
country with the legend austria
must never be darkened again, .
Although the average Aus
trian undoubtedly takes it in
good part, he is probably under
little illusions about the serious
ness of 1t all. Both the con-
servatives and the Socialists are

tria. In fact, on the record the
Socialists can claim with some
Justice to be more vigorous in
their anti-Moscow stand than
their opponents. AS Prime Min
istei, Conservative Leader julius
Raab has trod a cautious path
"stroking the bear" as he puts
it, in order to avoid offense.
Among the electorate Commu-
nism makes so little appeal that
there is some speculation that
the party may be wiped out in
the coming contest. Never hav-
ing polled more than per cent
of the votes in any previous cleo
ton. they now hold only five
seats in the l64-member Parlia-
ment. And with the pressure OF
the Red army removed as the
result of last years peace treaty,
there is an outside chance that
even these five seats may be lost,
The voters are likely to be
almost equally unimpressed by
the other major issue" of the
election: The naturalization of
the country'S industry. This de-
bate. although 1t did lead to a
breakdown of the coalition of
Conservatives and Socialists and
brought on the election, is almost
as phony as the other. The fact
is that Austrias industry is al
ready about 80 per cent nation
allied. The squabble is over the
remaining 10 per cent, including

Extra police details were

smoldering debris by 2 a m. How
