The trend in recent municipal elections in Austria has favored the People's Party--and, to a lesser extent, the Communists--at the expense of the Socialists. There have been few genuine campaign issues, since foreign afi- fairs is largely taboo because of Austria's carefully preserved neutrality, and the economy is Austria's basic pro-Western orientation. The unusually large number of new voters is a variable factor of some importance, but the two major parties are ex- pected to share almost 90 per- cent of the vote, as in 1959. The US Embassy at Vienna an- ticipates the People's Party will retain or slightly enlarge its one-vote margin over the Socialists in the Nationalrat (lower house). The small right- of-center Liberal Party may slightly increase its current extraordinarily prosperous.

Klaus is generally regarded as the People's Party's eventual heir apparent to the well-liked, but maladroit Chancellor Gorbach. The People's Party has attacked Vice Chancellor Pittermann, charging that he used his recent trip to Moscow to promote trade with the bloc and that he advo- cates a form of "economic neu- trality" inconsistent with eight-man representation. The even smaller Communist Party, which failed to get a single seat in 1959, is given a better- than-even chance to win a seat in a Vienna district-which would qualify it for two or three additional seats in the proportional re ' the vote . y£en*E1~/ 9 WWFYT V I'IT.1\’7'I'1-sin Approved for Release: 2026/03/06 C03159090 Page 21 of 24 (b)(3
