Dr. Liptzin's Hopeful View:
'Generation
of Decision'
Assure Full Payment
to Nazi Victims
BONN, (JTA)—West German
government leaders have as-
sured Dr. Nahum Goldmann,
president of the Conference on
Jewish Material Claims Against.
Germany, that Bonn will pay in
full all its commitments to
compensate victims of the Nazi
regime.
Dr. Goldmann made this
known here following a series
of conferences with Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer, President
Theodor . Heuss, Economics Min-
ister Ludwig Erhard and Fi-
nance Minister Frank Etzel.
German sources said that
nearly $700,000,000 in the Fed-
eral budget had been set aside
for payments to Nazi victims
in the current fiscal year.
Justice Minister Fritz Schaef-
fer who in a speech last year
criticized attorneys who handle
restitution claims in Germany
of demanding exorbitant fees,
has written to . the German At-
torneys Union clarifying his
statement. Schaeffer said that
he had referred only to foreign
lawyers in that well publicized
speech, not to Germans.
