Soviet Gesture
Allows Two Reds
To Be Discharged
VIENNA, Austria, — Russia
made its second gesture in 24
hours to1 occupied Austria Tues
day by agreeing to the discharge
of two top-ranking Austrian Com
munist police officials in Vienna.
Austrian government sources re
vealed the new Soviet step only a
few hours after Russian troops
moved back a fringe of the Iron
Curtain by lifting permanent mil
itary controls on the demarcation
line between the Soviet and the
American and British occupation
areas.
Russian high commission offi
cials notified the Austrian govern
ment the Soviets no longer would
insist that the police chiefs of
Wieden and Brigittenau — two
Russian-occupied districts of four
power Vienna—should remain in
office.
When Austria’s Communist Par
ty made an unsuccessful attempt
to overthrow the pro - Western
government in October, 1950, the
two police chiefs were ordered
fired by the Austrian Ministry of
the Interior.
But the Russians insisted they
remain in office and on the pay
roll. The Ministry of the Interior
was forced to agree, but it got
around the Soviet orders by re
laying all instruction to the dep
uty police chiefs of each district.
Ever since, the Austrian gov
ernment has been putting pres
sure on the Russians to agree to
their dismissal.
