Soviet and Austria Call for Independent Treaty and Troop Withdrawal
Moscow reports a joint Soviet Austrian communique pledging Austria not to join military alliances or permit foreign bases. The accord covers 150 million dollars in reparations in Austrian goods, return of German property in the Soviet zone including Marube Shipping Co, and the return of Austrian oil fields and refineries. Raab and Molotov signed after talks with aides, conditionally tied to four occupying powers guarantees on independence and precludes a Hitler merger. The agreement now awaits U S Britain and France participation before a formal treaty can be signed.
