Secretary's visit was an outstanding success. Austrian
Government exceeded even traditional Viennese hospitality
in program which was designed primarily to honor United
States Secretary of State but which resulted also in series
of personal tributes to Secretary and Mrs. Acheson.
Al-
though for security reasons no local itinerary was given out
in advance thousands of Austrians residing in the Soviet
Zone gathered at railroad stations along the route to greet
the Secretary. This without precedent in Vienna postwar
period, and is further evidence of the strong pro-United
States sentiment in Sovet Zone.
Secretary and Mrs. Acheson greeted at Tulln by Foreign
Minister and Mrs. Gruber who accompanied them on train to
Vienna. Chancellor Figl, Vice Chancellor Schaerf and other
Government officials joined by thousands of Austrians,
extended a warm welcome to Secretary and party upon arrival
in city. Although a large part of population had taken
advantage of beautiful day to visit Vienna woods and sur-
rounding localities, other thousands lined streets from
railway station to Embassy residence where Secretary and
Mrs. Acheson stayed during their visit.
Much heralded Communist hate demonstration against Secretary
failed completely to materialize due no (repeat no ) doubt to
recognition that public sentiment was predominately favorable
to Secretary's visit. Although Secretary made number of pub-
lic appearances and toured city there was no (repeat no) single
hostile demonstration toward him .
