The pull-out of the Red Army from Austria, which must be noted historically as one of the few backoffs the Russians have made since they began to feel their oats, took on its first substance in the talks the pulitzer-prize-winning team of a had with the Kremlin brass in February, 1955. Gratitude Frank Visiting Vienna with any momthat group is something like walking into Yankee Stadium with Babe Ruth was in the old days. Raab and Figl abound with something W'0 saw nowhere during out trip, an open and frank gratitude for what America, its people and these reporters did for it when it was flat on its back.

"Since the Americans primed the pump, after arranging for us to be free again, we have never had it so good," Figl told Hearst in an office far from the room where the Vienna Congress was held in the wake of Napolcon's downfall. "We had a hard time for so many years," the vigorous and valorous little man with the red toothbrush mustache said. "In 1918 our empire was broken up. All we got was a few mountains and vales and the big city of Vienna. All the proconsuls we had sent out through the generations came home, and there no jobs for them.

But we were determined to liv.c We were just coming up for air when ler took us and everything we had built. "Then we got the Russians at the end of the war. Praise Mark Clark "I don't know what we would have done without Gen. Mark Clark. A great American, great military nan and great political figure.

Without Clark, my friend, we couldn't have existed in 1945 and 1946. He had incredible confidence in me, A youpg chancellor then. Under his wing, he led uS out of the shadows. "He used his great influence to get me admitted to the daily meetings with the other allied commissioners, shared his trust in with them, maintained our sovereignty over the land, hammered away got free elections, found a way around what would have been Russia's veto power over whatever we and the friendly commissioners might want. What a tactician!" Figl is justly proud of the fact that a U.

But aflei a couple of days began to be sort went of over amused to see by John the situational (the executive producer The Seven Arts) and found him slightly recling over some of the reviews of that first program. "Houseman had never been criticized much before and he wasn't taking it too well. His eyes had a glazed look and there was a general slackness around his chin. We had to rationalize it, of coursewe recalled that a lot of people have been criticized.

"I remembered something Fred Allen once told me in the early day's of television. He heard that the trouble with television as conipared to radio was that in radio you could at least get home safely after performance without any body recognizing, you. But in tolevision recognizes you the minute you leave the studio." Crosby believes his work a as a performer is helpful in his job as a New York Herald Tribune syndicated critic. "I'm more inclined to think of how a performer feels about criticism," he said. "But I'm also ing a lot of technical things about television and the way things should be done.

That could make you a tougher critic."

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -(P)- A VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) airplane looking like 2 bird with a turned-up nose and its wing tips broken was unveiled Monday by Ryan Aeronautical Co. Ryan said the vertiplane rivals the helicopter in rising, landing and hovering yet "will far exceed rotary-wing aircraft in speed and range capability." The bent wing tips provide strucu tural support for the large flaps on the wings that can be extended far below the wing tips.

When extended for takeoff or landing. the wing flaps bend the propeller slipstream downward to provide vertical lift. Air streaming back from the two large propellers, powered by a Lycoming T53 gas turbine engine, is deflected against the flaps and the bent wing confined the slipstream for more efficiency. When the plane gets off ground the pilot retracts the hover- flaps for level flight. When it is ing he extends them.

The expermental plane is 27 feet 8 inches long: 10 feet 8 inches high and has a wing span of 23 feet 5 inches.
