Vienna, May 15.

The magnificent rooms of Vienna's vast Schoenbrunn Palace, now used as a museum, sprang into life again tonight to regain some of the glitter and splendour of the old imperial days.

Some 1,200 guests of the Austrian Govern- ment came there to celebrate with music and dancing, feasting and drinking Austria's great "day of liberation"-the signing of the treaty which restores her independence after 17 years.

Outside the huge Palace, where Napoleon signed the the Treaty of Vienna in 1809, thousands of Viennese ignored a steady drizzle to take part in street celebrations,
