Russia rejects Allied protests on Austrian property seizure
A high source says Russia has rejected American and British protests over Austria's property seizure for reparations totaling 22 million dollars. The Soviet note maintains the seizure of industrial plants and other property confiscated after the 1938 Anschluss, and disputes U S and British positions. Pauley on round-the-world trip said the United States remains willing to negotiate to renounce all Austrian reparations but not unilaterally. The four power council may resolve the dispute before the Austrian peace treaty, or it will require settlement.
