ATHENS (JTA) — More than
40 delegates representing the 16
Jewish communities of Greece
met here in an effort to try to
cut the Gordian knot of financial
problems strangling Greek Jewry
and put through a rehabilitation
program for the community's 5,000
Jews.
The two problems that are tangl-
ing up rehabilitation efforts are a
Greek communal property law and
the unwillingness of many com-
munities to accept central adminis-
tration. Under Greek law, the
total communal fortune — esti-
mated at $50,000,000 — belongs to
all the Jews who had lived in
Greece in 1939.
Of the 90,000 prewar Jewish
population, only 20,000 survived
the Nazi persecutions; 5,000 of
them are living now in Greece,
and 15.000 in Israel, the United
States and other countries.
The main problem of the con-
vention is how to make use of
this hitherto unexploited for-
tune for the rehabilitation of
the community while arranging
for the participation of Greek
Jews living outside the coun-
try.
The problem has become par-
ticularly pressing, as the assist-
ance the Greek Jewish community
has received from the Claims Con-
ference until now will soon come
to an end.
The second problem, that of or-
ganization, was discussed at the
meeting by the representative of
the Joint Distribution Committee,
Haim Ben Rubi, who proposed
that the rehabilitation program
should be drawn up in the name
of the Central Board of Jewish
Communities, in order to avoid
possible misuse by small communi-
ties and for the purpose of form-
ing a strong Jewish community in
Greece.
However, many delegates spoke
against central administration, de-
claring that they prefer individual
rehabilitation for each community.
Aussie Police Take Action,
Raid Headquarters of
National Socialist Party
MELBOURNE (JTA)—Police in
Sydney made a night raid on the
headquarters of the Australian
National Socialist party, and ar-
rested five of the neo-Nazis.
The police also seized weapons,
explosives and a variety of Nazi
emblems and insignia.
Those arrested included the
leader of the movement, Arthur
Smith. The raid was the first police
action since Australia was stirred
into debate by a national tele-
vision showing of a meeting of the
neo-Nazis in their headquarters in
Ashfielcl, a Sydney suburb.
When the police made the raid,
they found that 15 members were
attending a meeting. They wore
Nazi uniforms with swastika em-
blems, and were shouting "Sieg
Heil."
Police took possession of prop-
erty at the headquarters alleged
to have been stolen by the Nazis.
They continued to question the
arrested members.
Work on Arms Abroad
Banned in Bonn Draft;
Passes 1st Reading
BONN (JTA) — The first read-
ing of a draft proposal to forbid
West German nationals to work
on certain types of weapons pro-
jects in other countries, submitted
by the Social Democrats, took
place in the West German parlia-
ment. The draft was transferred to
the parliamentary legal commis-
sion for further consideration.
The draft listed a variety of
weapons and other armaments to
be banned for the nationals in
foreign countries. The list is simi-
lar to that in the Brussels Agree-
ment of October 1954 which is part
of the West German law on arma-
ment control of April 1961.

Prague Pays Tribute
to Late Franz Kafka,
Once Target of Reds
LONDON (JTA)—The city of
Prague paid tribute to the late
Jewish writer Franz Kafka in a
ceremony described as "emotion-
ally moving and politically signifi-
cant," it was reported here from
the Czecholslovak capital.
The ceremony was held at the
opening of a large exhibition of
documents, photographs, manu-
scripts and letters about Kafka's
life. He died in 1924 at 41. Until
last year the official Communist at-
titude towards Kafka was that he
represented "bourgeois decadence"
and "cosmopolitanism."
Principal guest was Max Brod,
Kafka's life-long friend and ed-
itor, who flew to Prague from his
home in Tel Aviv. Brod, with
tears in his eyes, described his
late friend as having had "a
positive attitude toward life."
He recalled that Kafka was one
of the 20th Century's first writers
to deal with the forces of aliena-
tion and loneliness which affect
man, but stressed that Kafka had
"a joyful nature, "being intensely
interested in sport and the the-
ater.
Second speaker was Edward
Goldstuecker, Czechoslovakia's lead-
ing authority on Kafka. He was re-
cently released from prison after
serving a sentence as codefendant
of the executed. Czech-Jewish Com-
munist leader Rudolph Slansky,
convicted during the infamous
"Slansky Purge trials" in 1957.
Dr. Goldstuecker indicated that
the exhibition, which was attended
by high-ranking ministry of culture
officials, meant that the Commu-
nist regime had fully rehabilitated
the works of Kafka.

Urge 'Preventive Measures'
Against Dixie Conspiracies
The American .Jewish Commit-
tee appealed to the Federal Gov-
ernment to adopt "strong preven-
tive measures" against conspira-
cies in Mississippi which are de-
priving citizens of their voting
rights. •
In a telegram to President John-
son on the prevention of violence
and racial trouble in Mississippi,
Morris B. Abram, AJC president,
set forth the proposal that the
Federal Government take action
against these conspiracies in the
same manner it fights subversion
or traffic in narcotics.
Abram particularly stressed the
role of the FBI and other federal
agencies which work continuously
within the. states diligently and
effectively investigating and en-
forcing the laws against conspira-
cies to commit subversion or to
traffic in narcotics."

Unjailed Journalist
Calls Spain Haven for
Nazi Collaborators
PARIS (JTA) — An Israeli
journalist who has just been re-
leased from a Spanish jail ,after
three years' imprisonment told a
press conference here that Spain
had become a major haven for
former Nazis and Nazi collabora-
tors of a dozen nationalities.
Zvi Aldouby, the journalist, was
sentenced to nine years' imprison-
ment by a Spanish military court
on charges of having tried to kid-
nap the former Belgian Nazi, Leon
Degrelle.
He was arrested at the Franco-
Spanish border in August 1961,
and charged with possession of
guns and ammunition. Jacques
Finsohn, a young French Jew, was
arrested with him.
The two were said to have been
part of a Jewish underground
movement organized to kidnap
Degrelle and other former Nazis
in the hope of tracing through
through them the whereabouts of
Hitler's personal aide, Martin
Bormann.
The journalist said his inves-
tigations had revealed that
scores of former ton Nazis
were now living in Spain, and
that former SS officers were
serving in the Spanish Foreign
Legion.
He said that a special regiment
was officered almost completely
by former Iron Guard Rumanian
officers. He identified as promin-
ent ex-collaborators living in
Madrid Horia Sima, one of Ru-
mania's leading anti-Semites, as
well as Ukrainian and Russian
Nazi collaborators.

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire

hanged in Damascus Wednesday,
12 hours after he was found guilty
of allegedly spying for Israel, it
was reported here from the Syrian
capital.
The Arab, Yahya Abdel Razak,
had been charged, along with seven
other Syrians, of spying for Israel.
One of the accused received a
life term, two were sentenced to
71/2 years' imprisonment, and four
were acquitted.
Col. Salah Delli, president of the
military court who tried the ac-
cused, claimed that Razak was
trained at an Israeli settlement
close to Syria and had made sev-
eral excursions into that country
since 1960.
He was charged with collecting
information about the Syrian army
from accomplices and handing it
over to Israeli agents in return
for payment.
