Austria's President
Cites Difficulties of
Jewish Son-in-Law
VIENNA, (JTA)—Special leg-
islation for the return of confis-
cated property to Austrian Jews
would be "un-democratic a n d
create new anti-Semitism," Pres-
ident Karl Renner told a corres-
pondent of the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency.
Pointing out the Nazis also had
stripped non-Jews of their pos-
sessions and confined them in
concentration camps, the 76-year-
old Socialist leader said he could
nut be accused of being anti-
Semitic since his son-in-law is a
Jew. He cited the litter's diffi-
culties in securing return of a
house taken over by the Russisns_,
and said "we must have pati-
ence."
French Court Voids Will
Involving Intermarriage
PARIS, (JTA)—A will barring
a legatee from a bequest in the
event that she married a Jew
has been voided by the Tribunal
of the Seine, as running coun-
ter to the spirit and principles
of the new French Constitution,
which guarantees the equality of
all citizens under the law.
The will of 3 certain Madame
B. left all her property to her
grand-daughter, with the proviso
that if the grand-daughter mar-
ried a Jew, the bequest was to
go to an orphan asylum fund.
The young woman, who is un-
married, challenged the terms of
the bequest and was upheld by
the court. Her attorney was An-
dre Blume], president of the
Jewish National Fund of France.

British Delegates
Get 0. K. to Ratify
IRO Constitution
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., (JTA)
—The British delegation at the
United Nations was authorized
by its government to sign the
International Refugee Organiza-
tion constitution.
The announcement contradicts
a report from London published
in the local press that Britain was
not likely to join the Internation-
al Refugee Organization until
U. S. adherence has been ap-
proved by Congress. It also blast-
ed the gloom over the fate of the
IRO. Great Britain is the tenth
nation to sign. The Netherlands
formally signed the WO consti-
tution last week.
Before the organization can
begin to function, 15 nations who
will meet at least 75 percent of
the IRO operational budget of
$151,000,000 must be signatories
to the constitution. ,It is now
certain other nations which have
been waiting for a British de-
cision will also sign, bringing the
total assessment to the required
75 percent.
