Vienna, Aug. 2.
Two types of British aircraft (the "Viking" medium sized passenger plane and the Bristol 171-Mark IV helicopter) are, I understand, likely to be the first aircraft chosen to fly on the various · Austrian domestic airlines, both private and State owned, which are now in the process of being formed and should come into operation during 1956.
Four Austrian pilots are now in Britain for
the Austrian · training, and the first flight of National Airlines is planned provisionally to coin- cide with the Vienna Summer Music Festival in June.

World Scientists To Probe Wool Problems
Melbourne, Aug. 2.
More than 100 scientists from all parts of the · British Commonwealth, the United States, France, Germany, Sweden and Japan will meet here this month to discuss the latest developments in wool research,
Although their deliberations in the main be on a highly scientific level, they will have a considerable effect on all users of wool. Two' subjects which they will discuss, for instance, are the digestive troubles of moths and what causes socks to shrink in the wash,
"It is a good example of the gop between craftsmanship and refence."

"The moth larvae attacked wool because it contained suit- able molecular groups in its structure. If they were altered, the fibre would become imper vious to attack. The present disadvantage of this method was that expensive chemicals were needed and that it was emL- mercially difficult," Dr Fraser said.
