Austrian Parliament Passes Laws
for Compensating Victims of Nazis
VIENNA, (JTA) — The Aus-
trian Parliament approved — 16
years after the end of World War
H — legislation to provide com-
pensation to victims of nazism.
Two laws were passed. One
concerns the founding of a $6,-
000,000 fund providing payments
to political and racial persecu-
tees who were deprived during
the Nazi era in Austria of bank
accounts, securities, cash and
mortgages.
An eight-man board 'to be nomi-
nated by Catholic, Protestant
and Jewish religious bodies will
handle distribution of the funds.
Payments will be to individuals
and not to organizations.
The other action was accept-
ance of the 12th amendment to
the Nazi Victims Law which pro-
vides double payments for each
month of incarceration of victims
of Nazism.
Payments also will be made to
each Jew forced to wear the
Star of David for at least six
months, persons who
capacity was redu
per
for a period
and a hal
years, and
e s ns who could
not comp

also oted to e
Jewish Claims on Austria here
expressed satisfaction that the
Austrian Parliament had finally
acted on two compensation mat-
ters.
He said that approval of the
twelfth amendment to the Nazi
Victims Law represented a for
ward step, though it contained
"objectionable features" particu-
larly with regard to claimants
now living outside of Austria.
He said it was hoped that the
Austrian-West German negotia-
tions, which are scheduled to be
resumed early in April, would
provide additional benefits for
Jewish victims of Nazi persecu-
tion, particularly for those who
emigrated from Austria after
1938. He added that the Commit-
tee was continuing every effort
in West Germany and in Austria
to bring about maximum results
from the April .renewal of nego-
tiations.

tions, meeting at the Man-

cated to the rescue and re-
settlement of the helpless sur-
vivors of Hitler's "reign of
terror," The date chosen by
the delegates coincides with
the anniversary of the War-
saw Ghetto Uprising according
