Truman an Policy
May Lead Russ: To Block Pact
Vienna Key to Soviet Control of Danube
By LUDWELL DENNY Serippe-Howard Staff Writer MOSOOW, March 31—The subject of- Austria came before the foreign ministers today for the first time. The ministers unanimously agreed - to invite representatives of Austria to Moscow so, as U, 8, Secretary of State George CO. Marshall said, “the council can make every effort to complete the Austrian treaty here.” ' The big question is whether proposed American aid for Greece and Turkey will cause Russia to block an Austrian treaty. Although the new “Truman doctrine” probably will continue to be unmentioned in formal sessions, it has intensified the struggle for -control of “the Danubian - Balkan area. Russia has made clear through her official press she: considers President Truman’s declaration the forerunner of American capitalistimperialistic expansion in the Balkans and the Middle East. In military terms this can be interpreted as “encirclement” of Russia—a familiar and convenient charge to justify counter-measures.

countries increasingly is reacting against Rusisa politically. Moreover, Russia is pledged to get out of Rumania and Hungary, as well as Austria, within 90 days after an effective Austrian treaty is signed. Thus the Austrian treaty is the key to the present military situation in eastern Europe. x This explains repeated efforts of the western powers during the past year to speed up the Austrian treaty

He finally relented in December and agreed to put Austria om the Moscow conference agenda because of a {factor more _ important to Russia than military occupation of southeastern Europe—namely, Russia’s internal conditions and consequent need for more German products than could be milked from the drying-up Soviet zone. The only way to get a bigger Russian take from the Ruhr and the British-American merged zone would be a new agreement raising the allowable level of German industry and granting Russia huge reparations from current German production.

Artificial propagation of fish and game for restocking Hoosier weters and fields, already cartailed this year, will be trimmed further by the division of fish and game during the next two years. The surprise action of Governor Gates in vetoing the legislative ene actment doubling fishing and hunting license fees—combined with refusal of the general assembly to

necessary. Faced with higher operating costs the fish and game division had previously served notice that it would not enter into contracts this year with conservation clubs to propagate fish and game birds for pay. Reduction in game farm and fish hatchery production programs also were. announced as -a.part of. the enforced economy move.

| ‘Conservationists, realizing the need of additional funds for fish and game activities, had turned to the legislature. One proposal sought reimbursement by the state to the fish and game fund “for the free hunting and fishing permits which the state gives to war veterans. They pointed out that issuance of the permits cut down the fish and game income. This plea received little consideration. The second proposal asked the doubling of present hunting and

that hunters, trappers and anglers would have been paying $3 a year for the same privileges now costing them $1.50. This proposal was passed by the legislators but was vetoed by Governor Gates, Since there are over 350,000 regular hunting and fishing licenses issued each year, the fish and game fund lost a potential” increase of a half-million dollars -in income through the veto.
More Forest Land Nearly 6000 acres were added to Indiana’s classified forest lands during the year ending March 1, Ralph Wilcox, state forester, reported today. There is now approximately 116,000 acres of such land, representing holdings by more than 2100 individual owners. Under the forest classification law enacted in 1921, to encourage
