‘Reds Act to Split Austria and Win Gateway to East

Partition Plan Would Doom Tiny Country;

Snarls Big Four Peace Efforts : By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS, Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

VIENNA, Aug.-12.—Austria is threatened by partition.

While Germany conceivably could survive being cut in two, Austria

ean aot. She is too small already.

Russia is believed to be waiting for or even: seeking-an excuse fo. “ splitting her zone off from the rest of Austria.

Her zone includes the country’s breadbasket, the capital, Vienna, control of the Danube—everything, in fact, but the Alpine scenery. Would Doom Nation * . Separation of the Soviet zone from the American, British and French zones therefore would doom the nation. .The Kremlin is known to regard Austria as the most important remaining link in the wall she is building across central Europe. France may be the keystone of western Europe but Austria is the traditional gateway to the east. So Russia intends to control Austria, if not by one way then by another. With a grip on Austria, she would control the entire valley of the Danube, Open Key Routes That would complete the separa-

‘ tion of the east from the west. It

would give Russia command of the strategic routes to France, Western Europe and the Adriatic by way of the Danube, the Rhine and Brenner pass. If it weren't for these considerations, an allied official told me, the Big Four could agree on Austrian peace in five minutes and write a good treaty in five hours. Talks Still Snarled

Negotiations which ‘were dead-

locked at Moscow remain dead-|.

Die in Crashes 6 Others Seriously Hurt on Highways

Four Indianapolis persons were killed on the state highways last hight. Mr. and Mrs. George Payne, Rural Route 1, Box 156-A, and Edwin D. Stewart, 23, of 2544 Boulevard pl, were killed in a two-car crash on Highway 52 north of Lafayette. Served in Navy Mr. Stewart, a navy veteran and graduate of Crispus Attucks high school, is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Weir Stewart, 2544 Boulevard pl. Six occupants of the other car, Mr. and Mrs. Robert White, their two children and Mr. and Mrs. James Haught, all of Lafayette, were serioully injured. Ira Alfred McHone, Conrad st., was killed when’ his car left “Highway ‘52 near Arlington, Ind. struck a bridge and overturned into a field. v Engineer for B. & O. . "Mr. McHone, engineer for the B. & O. railroad, is survived by his wife, Mrs. Rose McHone and two daughters living in Hamilton, O. Rites for Mr. McHone will be held at 10 a. m. Thyrsday at the Farley funeral home with burial in Floral Park. : A. R. Lashbrook, 40, of Evansville, was killed when the car in which he was riding overturned .on,. Highway 40 near Princeton. Clyde Hodges, 38, Evansville, driver of the ear, was not injured.

in great danger. Primarily, she Is

locked here despite efforts of the allied treaty commission which has been sitting since May. The brilliant work of Joseph M. Dodge, - American commissiomer, and his British and French colleagues hasn't budged the Russians an inch. When stopped by sheer logic, they just lapse into silence. Apparently their twofold objective is to gain time and strengthen their foothold in Austria.

The Russians are keenly alive to the growing impatience of Washington and London over failing to gain a Big Four alignment: -on Germany and Austria. They know this is an essential step toward restoration of European and world economy. They also are aware that such an agreement is necessary if the Marshall plan is’ to function at its best. Big Four Faces Wall Therefore, as Russia openly is doing everything she can to sabotage the plan, few observers expect the Big Four November conference to get anywhere. In which event, Germany might be cut in two‘and Russia acting alone might join eastern Austria to her half of Germany, Then Austria as a state would die. Like Berlin, Vienna is an international island in a Soviet zone. Like Berlin—which was an enemy capital—Vienna also is occupied by Big Four troops. The Austrian government finds it difficult enough as it is to conduct business. But if the Americans, British and French withdraw, leaving the Russians in sole possession, Austria, like Hungary, would find her days of nominal independence numbered.

May Shift to U. 8S. Zone

The government could and probably would move to Salzburg in the U. S. zone, but such a divided Austria could no more live than a head without a body. Meanwhile, Russia is not allowing grass to grow under her feet. While she stalls for time she ceaselessly is consolidating her position. Since my arrival here, the Red army has seized the Lobau refinery thus completing her domination of the Zistersdorf oil fields, largely British-American owned. Similarly she has stripped her zone without the slightest regard for Big Three or Big Four agree-

Austria's case is not hopeless. In-

Times State Service LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 12. — Commencement exercises—the third during the current year and the 86th in Purdue university history— will be held at 8 p. m.

Aims at Any Who Conspire To Hike Costs

Food, Clothes, Housing| Get Special Attention).

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 (U. P). —Attorney General Tom Clark today announced a new “get-tough” policy in prosecuting any conspiracies to maintain or raise prices of food, clothing and housing, He said he had instructed the justice department's anti-trust division to prosecute such cases under criminal provisions of the anti-

trust laws in an effort to combat soaring high prices. He also has instructed the antitrust division, Mr. Clark sald, to launch at ‘once a campaign against price-boosting conspiracies. Recommends Jail Sentence In a Statement of policy, Mr. Clark said his department will recommend jail sentences for indie vidual defendants and maximum fines against corporations in all convictions. The department also will oppose, he said, acceptance by the courts of pleas of nolo contendere (no defense, no admission of guilt). Mr. Clark said that although the criminal provisions of the antitrust. laws have been invoked in the past, -jail sentences for violations have not been imposed except in a few cases. “The relative ineffectiveness of past enforcement policies,” the statement said, “toegther with the soaring high prices now continuing in the food, clothing and housing fields require that a new and more vigorous approach be undertaken in these flelds.”
