Austria Asks Property
to Aid Nazi Victims

Direct JTA Teletype Wire

To The Jewish News

VIENNA — The Austrian
cabinet Wednesday approved a
bill authorizing the start of
collection agencies required
under the Austrian peace treaty
to reclaim heirless property for
rehabilitating victims of Nazism
now living in Austria.
The measure implements an
earlier law for the creation of
two separate collecting agencies
—one for Jews and one for
non-Jews.
Austrian Jewish groups have
been urging such a measure for
four years. Without the enabling
legislation, no collections could
be made.
