^^_stria Case Is Proof
S Any who still harbor the hope you can deal with Russia
II °n * footing might \ nder the case of little Austria.
I The first victim of .fitler’s mama, Austria was drawn
*1- into the German nation in 1938. When the Nazis were push-
51' ed back in 1945, Russian and Allied armies occupied the
£ country. It was quickly re-established as an independent
V nation.
Z With the Soviet Union occupying the eastern sector and
' the Allies the west, four-power negotiations began on a peace
f treaty. Since Russia then was still the grea. wartime ally
m of the West—not a feared potential enemy—hopes ran high
r * for an early settlement.
More than five years have elapsed since the war ended
* in Austria. The other day the four powers held another
meeting about the peace treaty. It was the 258th. It ac-
complished nothing. If anything, the negotiators are today
further apart than they were a year ago.
Now, you ean’t explain away 258 fruitless meetings by
saying simply that the Russians are a little more stubborn
and mistrustful than most people. The truth is. they’ve
elevated stubbornness into a tactical weapon of diplomacy.
• They don’t want an Austrian peace treaty—except on
I terms the West could never approve, terms that would re-
‘uce Austria to complete satellite s’atus. Failing that kind
f control, whjch they know we . on’t grant them, they
rant to keep their troops stationed there on Ge- nany’s
outhern flank. A treaty would end the occupatior
In opposidg the Austri .n settlement, the Sovit. Jnion
as resorted to a great assortment of devices. Her reasons
Lt any particular moment do not matter. When the Rus-
ans wish to oppose, they can easily equip themselves with
full set of reasons, plus documents to match.
The history of these futile Austrian talks is a perfect
iject lesson in the worthlessness of sitting around the con-
rence table with the Russians. To them, the green baize
ver is only*.a.battlefield of another sort.
1 There is really no such thing as negotiating with the
mlin. Only the blunt tacts of power make any dent in
gh Russian skulls. Confronted with these, they will “deal,”
hey did it settling the Berlin blockade after we showed
could maintain the airlift indefinitely.
Otherwise, you encounter nothing that corresponds to
.negotiation anywhere else in the world. You either give
Russia what she wants, or call the whole thing off. And
the minimum she asks is always and inevitably an impos-
sible sacrifice for you to make. Reasonable concession, com-
promise, trade, these standard tactics of the council cham-
ber she does not understand, except as tricks to gain
advantage.
When people want peace so badly, it’s hard to convince
them this is how the Russians are. Rc <tdly the appeal
is heard for “iust one more try" at getting together. But
maybe those 258 unproductive meetings on Austria provide
the clincher that a lot of doubters seem to need.

WASHINGTON—It’s almost as
revolt 'ionary as the atomic bomb,
but ti. .• armed services are using
"mechanical bruins" to solve com-
plicated military problems in 13
minutes that used to take two
years of staff research. In fact,
Professor Norbcrt Wei.ier, famous
M. I. T. mathematician, has re-
ported to the National Security Re-
sources Board that the amazing
machines should be able to free
7,500,000 technicians and clerks
from their desks in five years.
The armed services are already
using a dozen "mechanical brains"
tc solve budget, ballistic and logis-
tic problems. These fabulous ma-
chines are large enough to fill a
room, yet built to a mathematical
precision that is almost unbeliev-
able. For example, the original
machines completed after ‘he war
can add a 10-digit figure \ 200
millionths of a second. Yet the
armed servu »s are now building
new machines that will be 20 times
faster.
The Army is using four "me-
chanical brains" to solve problems
in artillery trajectory, control and
ballistics at Aberdeen Proving
Grounds, Md. The Navy has two
more machines working on the
same problems at Dahlgreen Naval
Proving Ground, Md.
The Air Force also has a “me-
chanical brain" figuring problems
in guided-missile control, shock
waves and vibrations at Wright
Field, Ohio; plus two more ma-
chines working on budget pro-
gramming and other technical re-
search at Harvard University and
the Bureau of Standards in Wash-
ington, D. C. In additicn, four
even more revolutionary machines
are now being built for the Air
Force and Navy.
As these machines are intro-
duced into the civilian economy,
they will revolutionize statistical
and research work in the same
manner that automobiles revolu-
tionized transportation.
Chin •(•-Russian Pact
U. S. informants behind the iron
curtain have dug up new and
startling evidence that the inter-
vention of Communist China in
Korea was plotted as early as
August 8.
Informants report that Russia's
V. M. Molotov and Communist
China’s Mao Tse-Tung h du show-
down meeting on that ..ate
For months, Mao had been |
stalling on the Kremlin’s plans for '
use of Chinese troops in mass at-!
tacks on Korea, Indo-China and
Tibet. At this meeting, however,
Molotov demanded t.iat Mao
either go along with Soviet stra-
tegy or be kicked out. Mao finally
agreed to go along.
Here are the reported terms of
the secret tre ty between Molotov
and Mao as of august 8;

Brothers—the organization which
believes that juvenile delinquency
can be prevented by taking
youngsters in hand before they get
into trouble. A psychiatrist and
social worker studied Dave's case,
and then *,he ex-pilot was selected
to be the big brother.
Dave was too shy to turn up at
' le first meeting, and even when
they did meet, it wasn't easy. But
gradually, Instead of rowing with
the cops, the boy learned to take
his troubles to his Big Brother.
They made .nodel planes [ether,
and now Dave is on hi* vay to
being a good citizen, pc.'haps a
Big Brother himself one day.
A lot of cities have regularly or- I
ganized Big Brothers. And in j
about a week—January 7 to 14—a
national drive takes place to ex-
tend this system of keeping kids
out of our trouble-breeding re-
formatories.
Capital News Capsules
German Headaches—High Com-
missioner John J. McCloy was
miffed at Secretary Acheson for
ignoring the Western German gov-
ernment on ways and means of
bringing West German troops into
the Atlantic Pact Army. During
the Brussels meeting, McCloy
sent two urgent cables to Ache-
son, urging him to invite German
Chancellor Adenauer to Brussels
to exchange ideas. But French
Foreign Minister Schuman said
he would walk out of the confer-
ence if he had to sit down and
talk to Germans about how they
could defend themselves against
Russia. Now the West Germans
are ail burned up over this alleged
snubbing, say that the chances of
a West German Army are slim.
Titoism in Indo-China?—French
intelligence has reported the first
vague signs of Titoism in Indo-
China. TIi-> Communists have
launched a bloody purge of the
Indo-Chinese Communist Army
and high command, on top of
which it’s reported that Ho Chi
Minh, the Indo Chinese leader,
has been purged. His successor
is another Moscow-trained Com-
munist—Dang Xuan Khu. The
ministers of justice and foreign
affairs in the Communist regime
are also reported to be victims of
the purge. American Minister
Donald Heath has cabled the State-
Department that, if this news is
true, it may be the first sign that
Titoism is abroad in Indo-Chira.

At mid-morning the light-color-

A gentle south wind wafted the

Hoover’s Speech—Secretary of
the Army Pace reported that
Herbert Hoover’s speech, coming
in the middle of the Brussels con-
ference, was a great handicap. It
helped the French force the USA
to agree to an exploratory confer-
ence with Russia. European con-
fidence that the United States
would say and fight was badly
shaken both by the Hoover speech
and anti-Acheson resolutk n. The
Moscow radio is playing up both.
Chine—The Chi esc Communist
government is r sorted drafting
1,000,000 men before February for
both Korean replacements and to
bolster troops stationed on the
Indo-China border. China is def-
initely committed to driving U. N.
forces out of Korea, taking over
