THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, Nov. 23, 1973 17 - Austrian Village Objects to New Soviet Jewry Stop VIENNA (JTA) — The vil- lage council of Woellersdorf protested against the Aus- trian government's decision to set up an aid station for Soviet Jews in this tiny town in lower Austria, a council spokesman said. According to Otto Mayr, secretary of Woellersdorf vil- lage council, the local author. ities have sent six telegrams protesting the decision, be- cause "the aid station will be a security risk for our population." The Austrian government announced that the special transit camp for Soviet Jews emigrating to Israel at Schoenau Castle will be closed down and an aid sta- tion will be set up at Woel- lersdorf, 40 kilometers south of Vienna. According to a government spokesman, the new camp will serve only emigrants who need rest and medical help. Chancellor Bruno Kreisky had promised to close Schoe- nau in exchange for the re- lease of four hostages, in- cluding three Soviet Jews, seized by Arab terrorists Sept. 28 at the Austro- Czechoslovak border station. The aid station will be lo- cated in former army bar- racks on the outskirts of the village. Close to the three- story building is the main highway that runs south from Vienna. Mayr said the proximity to the highway makes it a high, security risk and an easy target for an attack. Harman Will Address JDC Annual Meeting expose yourself!
