Reparation Claims Readied for Austria
Father Chaillet, representative of Cardinal Gerller, said that the return of the children wan In conformity with the promises made by the Catholic authorities. He said that close cooperation by Basque priests had been important In tracing the location of the children in Spain and their refuge with a Basque family. He charged that despite assurances they had given, it was almost certain that the Spanish authorities had done nothing to help recover the children/ The children were orphaned during Wgrld War II when their parents fell victim to the Nazi anti-Jewish extermination campaign. Previously, the parents had left the two boys for safekeeping In a Catholic home. Their temporary guardian later had them baptized and refused to return them to the family. The case attracted considerable attention here and abroad and numerous appeals were mado to the Vatican and the Catholic hlefarchyfor .their Intercession. An agrcomeiff reached between the hierarchy and the Grand Rabbffiulc of France on March 6 provided that the children would be brought back to France and returned l o Jewish custody. The delay on the part of the Church authorities in Implementing this agreement had provoked sharp criticism*

1. Compensation will be paid and pensions Will be restored to' former Austrian officials or their heirs who no longer have Austrian citizenship and have'not yet received rehabilitative assistance. 2. The E i g h t h Compensation Law will be amended to extend payments under tho act to those who were persecuted on racial and religious grounds and who up to 1038 were Austrian citizens but arc not longer citizens. At sessions here, the Jewish experts raised the Issue of compen-', satlon for 05,000 Austrian Jews now living abroad, as well as for 12,000 Jews still in Austria, and declared they had not been properly compensated for losses they suffered under the NazCregime in Austria. They pointed out, as an example, that Austrian Jews now residing in the United States or in Israel have received no compensation at all for unjustified imprisonment by the Nazis. They also demand that the Austrian Government should aid Jewish refugees who lost their homes in Austria. At a reception for Adolph Held, chairman of the American Jewish.; Labor Committee, who is a member of the Jewish reparations delegation, Austrian Vicc-Chancellor Adolf Schacrf, Socialist -leader, emphasized that the Socialist Party of Austria, one of the two government parties, will strongly support in Parliament passage of a law providing reparations psymonU tor Jewish vlotlmn-ol.Naz-... ism. However, he ndded that with regnrd Jo heirless Jewish property, the matter depends largely upon Austria's financial ability to pay. (The Manchester Guardian, a lending British newspaper, reported from Vienna that the Austrian-' Jewish reparations negotiations "are likely to prove long and difficult owing to sharp divergencies, over fundamental questions." The report said that the Austrian officials take tho view that when heirless property con be proved to be Jewish, It should bo used for the benefit of the small Jewish communities in Austria and under no circumstances for the benefit of Israel or of Jewish groups outside Austria.)
Leader of Reform Rabbis for Closer Ties With Israel Estes Park, Colo. (JTA)—A call to American Reform* rabbis to" establish closer tics between Liberal Judaism and the people of Israel, was voiced by Dr. Joseph, L. Fink, president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis,at the organization's 04th annual, convention. More Ihan 300 Ro» form rabbis attended. 'In urging closer ties between Reform Judaism and Israel, Dr. Fink stated: "No achievement in 2,000 years can Burpass or even' equal the establishment of tho State of Israel. With the excep-: tion ot those inconsequential Jews, who, in effect, have seceded from" the household of Israel, and whoso value is limited to nuisance if not to downright injury, all the Jew» of our country, indeed all tho Jews of the world, look to Israel with thankful and prayerful hearts. I recommend that we tor-' mulate and follow a program of actlva communication between tha • institution and the life of American liberal Jewry and tho people of Israel.",
