The Chargé in Austria (Yost) to the Department of State
57. Reference: Deptel 42. Substance reftel communicated to Schoener and Matsch July 8 who expressed appreciation saying other three powers had not yet replied to Austrian questions re UN application members.
Austrians somewhat surprised that Timoshenko representing Soviet element had immediately replied to third question Embtel 4. He asserted he did not need to refer this question to Moscow since he knew Soviet Government favored Austrian membership in UN and had no objection to Austria sending note reminding UN its pending application. In reply to Austrian question Timoshenko added Soviet Union of course continued to support acceptance en bloc of non-members,
Austrians promised to inform us reactions other powers including USSR when received.
