Brief Statute Extension Assailed as ‘Infamous'
(Continued from Page 1)
The organization said it was
"protesting energetically" with all
other resistance fighters and vic-
tims of Nazism the "intolerable act
which, in fact, is a postponed
amnesty." The group called the
extension an "enormous fraud in-
tended to abuse world public
opinion." It declared that the act
extended to "war criminals re-
sponsible for genocide and crimes
against humanity the benefit of a
statute of limitations against
prosecution."
The organization called the act
a profanation of the memory of
millions of victims of Nazism and
a provocation toward all men of
good will. It added that it consid-
ered the extension "illegal and
will, together with all Belgian
patriots, engage in an implacable
struggle against it."
In Warsaw, representatives of
four European countries and Israel
meeting under the auspices of the
Jewish Cultural and Social Asso-
ciation of Poland adopted a reso-
lution condemning West Germany's
new law on the prosecution of
Nazi war criminals as "inadequate
and niggardly."
Among those who participated
in the special symposium of the
issue were Stephen Grajek and J.
Levenstein, both of Israel. Grajek
is chairman of the Israeli Society
of Ghetto Fighters and Partisans,
Levenstein is secretary of the So-
ciety of Anti-Nazi Fighters in Is-
rael. Other participants were Aaron
Vergelis of Moscow, editor of the
Yiddish magazine Sovietisch Heim-
LTh ( \___, [ land; Hirsch Smoliar, head of the
Jewish Cultural and Social Asso-
ciation of Poland; Miss Z. Guttnick,
secretary of the Society of Former
Deportees of France, and Eve Kar-
per, of the Auschwitz Committee
in Holland.
(President Heinrich Luebke has
signed the bill, adopted by Parlia-
ment, extending the statute for
an adidtional 41, years. The statute
had been scheduled to go into
effect on May 8. Under the ex-
tension, the effective date will be
Jan. 1, 1970.)
The official "host" of the gath-
ering was Antonio Monaco, who
was arrested here in 1960 for dese-
crating the Milan synagogue with
a swastika and sending threaten-
ing letters to Jews. It was doubtful
whether government authorities
would take steps against the meet-
ing since, according to officials, it
must be viewed legally as a
"private gathering."
Austria Delivers Gestapo
Leader to Germany for Trial
BONN (JTA) — The Austrian
government handed over to West
German authorities a former Ge-
stapo member, Kurt Wiese, ac-
cused of murdering Jewish chil-
dren in Grodno and Bialystok in
occupied Lithuania and Poland.
He escaped to Austria last sum-
mer and was arrested there. Extra-
dition proceedings took several
months. The Vienna High Court
refused to extradite him. The ex-
tradition was arranged only after
the Austrian High Court took the
case and ordered his transfer.

He said it was the duty of all

for such commemorations. A num
ber of Israeli youth also attended
the ceremony.

Jews in AuStria Protest Bonn
Decision on Nazi Criminals
lo
VIENNA (JTA)—The Associa-
tion of Jewish Persecutees in Aus-
tria filed a protest Tuesday with
the West German officials against
a proposal to limit prosecution of
former Nazi war criminals to so-
called major offenders.
The proposal is incorporated
in the extension of the deadline
for the prosecution of Nazi war
criminals recently approved by the
West German Parliament.
In letters to Justice Minister
Karl Weber and Bundestag Presi-
dent Eugen Gerstenmaier, the
association called the proposal the
equivalent of a "hidden amnesty."
The association said that the
crimes involved were murder or
acts leading to murder.
