AUSTIN, Dec. 3(P)- Gov.

he intended to fill a number of

Long famed as a county
out tooth decay, the people
decided to take their (
' council opened here a month ago.!
He made these major disclos-
ures:
1. The foreign ministers
council, in his opinion, may
wind up this week the peace
i treaties for Italy, Romania. Bul-
garia, Hungary and Finland and
proceed at once to a discussion
of the German Question.
2. On Germany, Byrnes in-
tends to insist, as he had pre-
viously said he would, on a dis-
cussion of Germany’s western
frontiers — chiefly whether
France should get and have the
Ruhr internationalized.
3. The United States will
ask that the Austrian question
be taken up here. The main
issue, diplomatic informants
said, is whether an arrange-
ment can be made for the erly
withdrawal of Rusian and oth-
er allied troops from Austria.
4. Byrnes is adhering strict-
ly to his policy—contrary to
what the Russians want—that
the allied powers should not
take any German reparations .
from current German produc-
tion. The Russians are known
to want an agreement by which
they might collect reparations
for many years to come.
5. The probable result of the
four-power talks on Germany
here will be the appointment
of a commission of deputies; to
do the spade work for a Eoreign
ministers’ meeting in Europe
early next year. Byrnes will
favor hearings on- the German
question for Belgium,' The
Netherlands, Czechoslov a k l a,
Poland and Luxembourg, all; of
which have asked to be heard,
but it is uncertain whether any
of them will be allowed actually
to participate in the German
discussions.
The joint Byrnes-Bevin press
release on economic fusion of the
German zone said:
“The agreement oontemplates
an economic program designed
to make the area self-sustain
ing in three years. By this pro
gram it is expected not only to
decrease the costs of occupa-
tion for the area, but also to
decrease the costs of ocupation
make possible the gradual res-
toration of a healthy non-ag-
gressive German economy that
will contribute materially to the
economic stability of Europe."

nounced yesterday.
Interior Secretary J. A. Krug
told the committee natural gas
would begin moving within five
or six days and would help re-
lieve the fuel shortage caused by
the coal strike. The dines have
