the Western Allies have beeu rather voeal in their protest
agaiast the maintenance of the censorship, the Sovizts have taken
preceutionary measures against the abolition of this servkzee if
it should b made. They have first of all established an ultra¬
fiodern, film photostatie copying office at the Sfdbahnhof, in
which letters can be photigraphed at a very fast rate, without
this being necessarily shown. At present this office is uostly
active in making photostats of all letters with economic contents,
patents, blueprinte etc. For the teleshone end telegraph services
a modern wire-tapping servie was established on the Schillerplatze
Finally the nost interesting feature is a new motorizeé wire=re
coréer, which csn be branched on agy telephome line ony place
add records thee tke conversations. These recor’ers ure in the
had of the Red Arny and are being broadly tested on the main lines
between Vienna end the Weste At nresent this sew machine is only
being tested. But it will probably be used before to long in a
regular Hashion.
A fourth move is the secret orgenization under the con=
duct of Moritz Felsdlergulies of a semi~underground orgenizationy
for the terorization end penetration of the Police forces.e This orm
genization, which has it headquarters at the Soviet Commend in
Baden, claims already to have made considerable progresse
Finally the terrorization of the population through the
kidnapping of persons has agein begune The procedure is always the
seme : the person is pushed into a Soviet license car end carried
off into some Soviet military barrack, Since the Austrian Police
has no right to interferr with persons in Soviet uniform, no
is possible. In most recent instances it is noteworthy thet the
kidnapping was more mede to terrorize the population, then to
get one particular person, since in most instenees the persons
where relatively inconspicuous lower officials.
