Reds Agree to Study Austria Issue at Big Four Meet
At the Paris conference, Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov agreed to add Austria to the agenda for peace treaty discussions with Italy, Bulgaria, and Romania while urging vigilance against a potential fascist revival. He opposed limiting the Austrian question to a single draft treaty and cited Italian turmoil as justification for broader intervention concerns. Byrnes said the U S saw no active need for intervention and noted Italy’s government efforts, with the ministers then adjourning after a two and a half hour opening session until Monday.

Reds Hold Key To Baruch Plan
United Nations atomic energy commission members agreed the Baruch plan for atomic control would be a long process. Russia’s attitude would shape any comprehensive plan, with other nations offering amendments. The plan calls for the United States to stop bomb production and destroy stockpiles, then transfer atomic secrets to an international authority if safeguards are adopted and veto rights on related matters are removed.

Coal Deliveries Relaxed by U.S.
The Solid Fuels Administration relaxed delivery limits to domestic consumers as bituminous coal production returns to near normal. Household and storage buyers may receive up to 60 percent of the supply they obtained between April 1, 1943 and March 31, 1946, with nonstorage users limited to ten days or one truck. The policy shift follows the end of a 60 day constraint and signals potential further increases, while weekly soft coal production reached 12.656 million tons, the first full-production week since the port coal strike began, with Pennsylvania anthracite output dropping sharply during the stoppage.
