Kreisky Adamant in Rejecting Mrs. Meir's Appeal

Schoenau facility. He insisted
that his decision was not a
surrender to blackmail but
something he had under con-
sideration for some time be-
cause the Schoenau Center
posed a serious security
threat to the Jewish emi-
grants themselves and to
Austrians.
He said he wanted to avoid
the possibility of having the
Arab - Israeli conflict fought
out on Austrian soil and
asserted that Arab terrorists
planned an attack on Schoe-
nau which, if carried out,
would have created a "super-
Munich," a reference to the
massacre of 11 Israeli Olym-
pic athletes by terrorists at
Munich Sept. 5, 1972.
"Even without the attack
last Friday — which proved
that Schoenau is a security
threat — I should have had
to tell the Israelis soon that
it was a danger to the emi-
grants," Kreisky said. He
promised, however, that
there would be no reduction
in the number of visas issued
to Soviet Jews wishing to
cross Austria and that in
cases of sickness "or other
hindrances" they would be
able to stay here for some
time until they were fit to
travel.
Two Lebanese and a Pal-
estinian were charged Wed-
nesday in Beirut with forg-
ing and delivering the two
passports used by the gueril-
las in the kidnaping of four
persons and the hijacking
of the Moscow - to - Vienna
train.

tory. "Only the special con-
cessions we have previously
made will be affected," he
declared.
After the two-hour meeting,
Kreisky said: "I made only
one proposal: The Austrian
government is ready to ex-
amine the possibility of put-
ting the transit camp under
the protection of the UN
commissioner of refugees,
but Mrs. Meir didn't seem to
' be very impressed."
Earlier in the day, Chan-
cellor Kreisky said he did
not intend to revoke his de-
OF'
to close down the
tr,
z center but pledged
that Austria "remains a
country where any refugee
with a valid visa will be able
to enter."
Mrs. Meir arrived in Vien-
- na Tuesday morning from
Strasbourg under the heavi-
est security precautions ever
seen in this capital.
"We are willing to allow
emigrants to cross Austria
- but it must be done as quick-
ly as possible," Kreisky said,
adding that he would tell
Mrs. Meir: "It is up to you
to get transit functioning."
He said that "what could be
done technically is up to the
air companies."
At his meeting with news-
men, and in an interview
with Israeli television broad-
casters Monday night, Krei-
sky defended his promise to
Arab terrorists to close the

particularly on the security
aspects of the problem. Van
Der Stoel called it "very un-
pleasant that a couple of
terrorists could bring about
this decision." Dutch Labor
Party chairman Eduard Ban
Thijn appealed to the Dutch
government to "help find a
solution as soon as possible."
(Israel's foreign ministry
said it had no specific offer
from the Netherlands. A
Dutch f o r e i g n ministry
spokesman said in The Hague
that reports of the offer were
"premature."
(A spokesman in the Hague
said that Austria had promis-
ed to give further informa-
tion on the results of a study
of alternative means of re-
ceiving Jewish emigres and
that "before determining its
point of view, Holland will
await the results of this
study." Holland has handled
Israeli interests in the Soviet
Union since Moscow broke
relations with Israel in
1967.)

BRUNO KREISKY

Mrs. Meir Explains
Decision to Meet Kreisky
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Pre-
mien Golda Meir, upon her
return to Israel, defended
her decision to meet with
Austrian Chancellor Bruno
Kreisky despite the fact that
it did not result in reopening
the Schoenau transit center.
She said her two-hour talk
with the Austrian leader was
very difficult but that there
had been some positive as-
pects. She told reporters that
things can be done so that
the Austrian decision will
have no effect on immigra-
tion from the Soviet Union.

Soviet Jewish Activists
Appeal to Austria
The following message
signed by 15 Jewish activists

Herzl: 'I Suffer,
Therefore I Am

The new Jewish Movement
suddenly appeared before the
world as a strange and in-
comprehensible phenomenon.
Some regarded it as a ghost
of bygone days, for the Jew-
ish people had died and
passed from the world. But
we had a vague feeling, of
which we had previously al-
ready been aware, that this
view was not correct. Death
is the end of all suffering:
whence came, therefore, the
phenomenon to which we
were subject? Thus the say-
ing of the philosopher under-
went a change with us: "I
suffer, therefore I am." —
Theodor Herzl, in opening
address at the Second Zionist
Congress, 1898.

There's some folks stand-
ing behind the President that
ought to get around where
he can watch 'em.—Kin Hub-
bard.

in Kiev and Novosibirsk was
sent Wednesday to Chancel-
lor Kreisky.
"We refuse to believe that
virtue can capitulate before
international banditry. In
that case, virtue stops being,
virtue and becomes an ac-
complice of banditry. Inter-
national terror is immoral,
and because of that we can't
have any moral obligations
before a group of hired
sadists."
The message was read on
the phone to Mrs. Donald
Sharfman of Detroit by the
Poltinnikov family.

300 Arrive in Israel
on 2 Flights from Vienna
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Some
of the 300 Jewish emigrants
from the Soviet Union who
arrived here Sunday on two
El Al flights from Vienna ex-
pressed the opinion that Com-
munist provocation was be-

hind the hijacking of the Mos-
cow-Vienna express train by
two Arab terrorists Friday
which led to the Austrian
government's decision to
close down the Jewish
Agency's immigrant transit
center.
Arrivals were at Schoenau
when the events took place.
They said they based their
suspicions on what they were
told by Mrs. David Szaplik,
wife of one of the three Jew-
ish hostages removed from
the train by the terrorists.
Mrs. Szaplik and her child
were held at gunpoint by the
terrorists but managed to
escape unharmed.
There were two Russian
women in the compartment
at the time who told the Jews,
"Why go to Israel. Why are
you looking for trouble?"
according to Mrs. Szapli k.
Boris Stromberg, 25, an
emigre from Czernowitz,
said, "Everyone in Vienna

is convinced it was all a
Russian provocation intended
to end Jewish emigration
from Russia.

Labor of Our Hands
It is our duty to demand
