Don't Expect Austria to Resist the Reds
Vienna analyst Richard O Reagan argues Austria, 90 percent Catholic and anti-Communist, would offer little resistance to a Soviet invasion.

Composting Waste to Fertilize Soils, Says Pfeiffer
Editorial outlines municipal and industrial waste composting as a soil conservation strategy. Dr. Ehrenfriend E. Pfeiffer of Threefold Farm argues cities can return organic material to farms, reducing incineration, boosting soil fertility, and supplying cost effective fertilizer through ground municipal garbage and specialized bacterial processes. He cites large plants like Compost Corporation of America in Oakland and notes the need to broaden accepted waste types beyond manure.
