Wiesenthal's (..'en ter Will Stay Open as Long as Activities Legal, Gov't. Says
NEW YORK (JTA)—The office
of Chancellor Bruno Kreisky of
Austria has advised the American
Jewish Committee that the closing
of Simon Wiesenth,l's Document-
ation Center in Vienna "is not im-
pending or intended as long as Mr.
Wiesenthal's activities remain
within the scope of Austrian law."
Dr. Ingo MuSsi, representing the
vacationing Dr. Kreisky. replied to
a letter from AJCommittee Presi-
dent E. Hoffman, who had written
to the Chancellor last week "to in-
quire about the status" of the cen-
ter.
"Since this organization." Hoff-
man wrote. referring to the AJCota-
mittee, has enjoyed a fruitful
relationship with Mr. Wiesenthal.
and we have also admired the
assistance that postwar Austria
regimes have given to the center's
work, we are most anxious to
clarify this issue."
Wiesenthal has charged the Aus
trian government with threatening
to close his center and has singled
out Socialist Party Secretary Leo-
pold Gratz for having allegedly,
called the center—a "secret agent"
operation. Dr. Mussi state d:
"There is absolutely no truth to
these rumors. Nobody in any of-
ficial capacity and certainly no
member of the Austrian Federal
Government has demanded the
closing of the center and no legal
steps are intended as long as the
center's activities remain within ,
the scope of Austrian law"
New York's other Republican
senator, Jacob K. Javits, said in a
letter to Harry Evans of New York

Israel Spy Relates His Adventures

title "Mission to Cairo," read more
like a novel than real-life exploits

Lotz, a West German who spied
for Israel in Egypt until he was
arrested in February 1965. was
called the "champagne spy" by
a superior in Israeli intelligence
who had to approve his expense
accounts.
And they were some accounts.
From January 1961 to 1965, Lotz
played the part of a wealthy, care-
free foreigner who sympathized
with Egypt and partied with
senior Egyptian officers. They
thought he was a free-spending
horse breeder and riding enthus-
iast. In reality, he was obtaining
valuable bits of information from
them. .

Lotz and his wife once were de-

which they were investigating on
instructions from Tel Aviv. But'
friends at Egyptian military intel-

arranged their release.
Later Lotz went to a party
given by an armored corps colonel
and attended by senior army and
navy officers. He was embraced
by a general in military intelligence
who cried: "Long live the sny.

Later that night, Lotz writes,
the general asked him, as a per-
sonal favor. to keep an eye on

the Egyptian government.

LONDON (JTA) — Czechoslova-
kia's state-owned radio is con-
tinuing its criticism of Zionists and
Jews. Three broadcasts by the
commentator Pavel Novek were
devoted to the subject-
In one, Novek claimed that after
World War H, wealthier Czech
Jews tried to retrieve their prop-
erty and they were the first to go
to IsraeL
He said that the "Jewish ques-
tion" in Czechoslovakia had been
solved by the end of the 1940s but
"pseudo-humanism spread with the
advent of the Dubcek regime and
a small number of Jewish intellec-
tuals occupied leading positions
out of proportion to their number."
Novek said in a second broad-
cast that "a vogue to denounce
anti-Semitism helped inflate liter-
ary mediocrities such as Mnacko
and Kohout and" contributed to a
pro-Israel attitude."
In his third broadcast, Novek
accused Arnost Lustig of having
made a "Zionist speech" during
the writers' congress of 1968. He
added that under the Dubcek re-
gime, "Czechoslovak tele v is ion
looked as if it might be intended
for Tel Aviv."
Bratislava Pravda and Radio
Prague have accused Prof_ Edou-
ard Goldstuecker, the first Czech
ambassador to Israel, of "defeat-
ism and cowardice." The media
also accused Vlado Kaspar of har-
boring "s ecret ultra-nationalist
Zionist sentiments while pretend-
ing to be a Czech patriot when he
acted as president of the Federa-
tion of Czech Journalists and of the
Czech National Council."
Such anti-Semitic attacks by
the Czech radio and press have
raised fears of new "show
triaLs-"
Both Radio Prague and the Com-
munist newspaper Bratislava Prav-
da have launched attacks based on
a recent book "Zionism and Anti-
Semitism" by Frantisek J. Kolar.
Both media said that longer ex-
tracts of that book would be pub-
lished this week_
Bratislava Pravda criticized the
Jewish intellectuals, who in spite
of their nationalism and hidden
Zionism have managed to hold im-
Israeli time and 1 a.m. Cairo time
Saturday.
*Both parties will refrain from
penetrating to the cease-fire lines
or firing across it.
• Both parties will maintain
the military status quo within 32
miles either side of the canal and
will not introduce military instal-
lations into that zone.
-*Each party will use its own
forces for supervision, and they
will be permitted to approach only
within 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) of
the cease-fire line.
• Each side has the right to ask
the assistance of UN observers on
questions of violations.
• The Geneva Convention for the
treatment of prisoners of war is to
be applied.
