Emissaries Report: No Official Anti-Semitism in Austria

There are some individual anti-
Semites in Austria, but no anti-
Semitism, Dr. Jonny Moser stated
at a reception held in New York
April 2 for an Austrian Jewish
group presently visiting the United
States. Dr. Moser explained that
by his statement he meant that
there was no organized anti-Semit-
ism, no anti-Semitic movement, no
official anti-Semitism.
Dr. Moser said that the Austrian
Jewish community was close to the
countries of Eastern Europe and
was the first stop for Jewish refu-
gees in transit to Israel, the United
States, or other countries. He paid
tribute to the humane attitude of
the Austrian government towards
the most recent influx of refugees
fronri Poland and elsewhere. Most
orihe Jews from Poland came with
no passport or other travel docu-
ments, only a simple paper stating
that the holder was no longer a
Polish citizen. Nevertheless the
Austrian authorities raised no diffi-
culties and gave all the help they
could.
Dr. Moser said that the Jews of
Austria were grateful to the World
Jewish Congress for its assistance
after the Second World War and
especially during the '50s in con-
nection with restitution. He said
there were some 8,000 Jews in
Austria and almost all of them
lived in Vienna.

Israel Festival, 10 Years Old,
to Feature Best of Music World

JERUSALEM—The Israel Festi-
val, from July 21 till the end of
August, will celebrate its 10th year
with such internationally famous
artists as Pablo Casals, Zubin
Mehta and Isaac Stern.
In the summer of 1960, Casals
sat on a stage by the waters of
Mediterranean Sea. The last rays
of the setting sun played on an
audience of thousands, sitting cn
tiers of dusty Roman stones. The
theater of Caesarea had been dis-
covered only a few months pre-
viously, and the tones from the
artist's cello were the first to be
heard here in 14 centuries.
Since then, whole sections 'if
Roman and Crusader Caesarea
have emerged from the sands and
been joined by hotels, villas and a
golf course. The Roman theater
has been fully restored and made
dust-free, and many artists of
world renown have come to Cae-
sarea and Jerusalem every sum-
mer.

Casals vowed to return to his
beloved Israel every year. His
partners in that first historic con-
cert, Isaac Stern and Alexander
Schneider, have participated in

American Jewry and compared it
with that of European Jewry. He
said that although assimilation was
on the increase, it was still not
very strong compared to its coun-
terpart in Europe. He recalled that
in Berlin before the Second World
War the intermarriage rate was
one in three. Although there might
be some erosion of American Juda-
ism, he was firmly convinced that
it would go on living and growing
stronger, mainly because of Israel's
existence.
Through its central representa-
tive body, the Jewish community
of Austria is affiliated with the
World Jewish Congress. Dr. Moser

rael.

Zionist Leader Praises
African Government
for Sympathy to Israel

JOHANNESBURG (JTA)—Judge
Judge I. A. (Issy) Maisels, out-
going chairman of the South
African Zionist Federation, in an
address to the 31st South African
Zionist Conference here, praised
the government for its "sympathy
and understanding" for Israel.
But he warned against "signs of
hostility towards Israel and Jews"
by a break-away political faction
and urged, "Let us not treat these
signs lightly, and as Zionists let
us not overlook our duty to create
a strong cohesive Jewish com-
munity in this country."
"We are fortunate," Judge Mai-
sels said, "that the overwhelming
mass of the peoples in this coun-
try have shown a sympathy and
understanding for Israel and its
problems" that has also "been
well evidenced by the Government
of this country" in its "fair and
reasonable attitude" and "more
particularly in relation to the
transfer of funds collected for
humanitarian purposes is Israel."
The South African government has
maintained friendly relations with
Israel over the years, though it
has become incensed at Israeli
votes against apartheid in the
United Nations.
