Hi Lois,
I looked at the 1920 census for him, and he lists his ethnicity as Slovak.Try to focus on that, rather than on him being "Austrian".I would suggest you post your question on Genforum's Slovak board http://genforum.genealogy.com/slovak/http://genforum.genealogy.com/slovak/ because they could better help you with possibilities for his surname."Alexander" might be Aleksander or Alec or something like that and you might do better to search using the letters ALE* rather than searching for Alex.Given his expected year of birth, he could be listed in the World War I draft registration database and that could be a great clue as to place of origin.
Best of luck,
Sophia
