DR. FIGL TRIES TO Just Another

The Austrian Government resigned today and the Chancellor, Dr. Leopold Figl, was' instructed to form a new Cabinet:

There is no agreement yet with the Socialists on how the Cabinet seats shall be divided nor on the touchy question on whether the menting on the Austrian cee- Pan-German League of Indepetitions, said that the Socialists and cients shall be invited to join in the Coalition:
Not Acceptable
The League, which showed sur- prising strength in winning of Austria's 165 Parliamentary seats on Sunday, is not acceptable to the People's Party.
A People's Party spokesman said that the presence of the League in the Austrian Govert ment might endanger the long awaited Austrian state treaty.
The Socialists, on the other hand, are known to be insisting that the party, headed by Dr. Herbert Kraus, be brought into the Government. The Socialists apparently hope that, by sup porting the League in this in stance, they can expect help from the League in any case where the two major parties disagree,
Since the People's Party has 77 seats in the new Parliament and the Socialists 67, the League of Independents holds the balance of power.
So far as the Government is concerned the results of Sunday's
elcctions in Austria will make no great difference, said the Liberal independent Manchester Guar cian in an editorial today.
