The more total World War II thus has given little Austria a terrific blow although the actual physical destruction was not as great as in Germany. For instance, Vienna was only 25 per cent destroyed compared to approximately 80 per cent for Frankfurt and Munich.

With the exception of one summer month invariably there are two operas, sev eral major concerts, several operet tas and about a dozen plays present ed every evening. The opera has made an amazing comeback and is without doubt right at the top in Europe. The settings and costuming in spite of shortages are very cleverly and beautifully worked out. Certainly a much higher percent age of the “common people” attend operas and concerts here than in America because of the quantity’ of fered and the fact that prices are comparatively not so high. If one were to look at this side of Viennese life, one would include that life in defeated Europe is not so bad but actually it is a matter of “whistling Good Music The great amount of good music being offered today in Vienna is not so surprising when one looks at its musical history, posers Straus born great here, blend Such great com as Mozart, Haydn, Johann is and Anton Bruckner were in Austria—and many other composers studied and lived The beautiful environs, the of the East—and—West all to go together to produce an environment from which music flows out in liquid spontaniety.

However, the common indoctrined soldier probably has neither the op portunity nor the desire to meet foreigners.

He reported that the Bibles were taken with such great eagerness by them that many of them left substantial sums of money for the Bibles. These incidents would certainly indicate that the common Russian has a feel ing of insecurity and unhappiness, and at the same time a sense of the religious. Unfortunately it seems that only by subtle behind-the-scene manipulations can one get next to the Russians—and then only through the written word. Russians Control Oil Fields Politically speaking it appears that the Russians are in no hurry to leave Austria. The rich oil fields and large industrial districts of Aus tria are all in the Russian zone.
