Grand Blvd. Patrol Service LO. 8-4150 ready made its comments on the Bill, and the Cabinet has now to consider how far it should defer to the Bundesrat's views. These were dictated in some points by a desire to restrict the Fedaral Republic's financial burdens, and the • organizations which repre-1 sent the victims Nazism would be indignant if they were ac cepted. `i'he organizations, including the Council of Jews in Ger- many and the World Jewish Congress, are already gravely dissatisfied with the Bill as it stands a number of important particUlars. The handling of claims has been dilatory and- unpredictable. "By the new Bill the Federal Government is seeking to redeem its promise to put these matters right. It does, in fact, improve the position of some classes of claim- ants substantially in some ways. Many people who can' prove res- idence in West Germany at the dates laid down in the Bill should find their rights enhanced and their prospects of getting a deci- sion—for many of them by now a vital consideration—improved. "At the same time", says the Times, ",the new bill contains some provisions which can only be called retrograde. Thus, Ger- man courts since 1953 have held .,pparently against the intension of the law givers—that prolonged incarceration in a concentration camp on federal territory eonsti- tutes residence within the mean- tutes ' 1 ing of the Act and therefore en- tit1-2s the victim to make a claim. "The law in its new form ex- pressly rejejets this common- sense ruling. Provisions about the inheritance or transfer of claims are made much harder. If a man clahning compensation for deprivation of liberty dies before his claim is met, -his claim will be extinguished un- less he is a former resident of the federal territory in the sense of the Aet. "A victim or an orphan can claim for the loss of the victim's , life, but it is now laid down that 1 this claim, too, cannot be in- herited or transferred. The vic- tim, himself, if he is still alive, will be able to claim for damages to his health, but if he dies be fore his claim is met, his widow or children will have no claim. . "A careful perusal of the new Bill makes it easy to understand why the Jewish organizations are asking the Federal government and the Bundestag to consider carefully whether new improve- ments cannot even now be made." Dutch Reject Request By Arabs for Data , On Jewish Employees THE HAGUE, (JTA) — The Netherlands Employers Associa- tion, which advised its members not' to reply to a questionnaire from Arab League countries ; about Jewish 'origins of its em- ployees 'or -directors on the grounds that "no distinctions concerning a worker's race can be made in Holland," decided to contact other industrial organiza- tions in Europe with a view to- ward coordination of policy in this matter. The Dutch employers group had also adviSed its members to use their. discretion in answer- ing questions by the Arabs -about the amount of business they 'do with Israel. The Arab Legue's "Office for the ECOLICerliC Siege of Israel" in Damascus had put the questions to Dutch firms trading in the Middle last. The cicular had asked for detailed information with regard to trade relations. with Israel and Jewish em- p;oYees. _ "We advise you to give ae- curate and frankly correct in- formation, because any differ- ence between your answers and the information the government office may obtain by investiga- tion, will create legal complica- tions," the Arab League circular warned.
