Probe of Radio Liberty Urged
for Using Scripts of Ex-Nazi
WASHINGTON (JTA)
— The disclosure that an
alleged Nazi war criminal
sold scripts to Radio Lib-
erty triggered a demand
here that Congress inves
tigate the federally-
funded radio station that
broadcasts to the Soviet
Union.
The revelation was
made after a deportation
notice was served On Vilis
Hazners, 71, a prominent
Latvian emigre_ living in
upstate New York who is
accused of complicity in
the killings of several
hundred Jew
s
- and
around Riga, Latvia, dur-
ing World War II.
Rep. Edward Koch _
who called for
e probe, said that while
le -N.Y.),
supported the objec-
tives of Radio Liberty and
its affiliate, Radio Free
Europe, "we don't have to
fund them if they are hir-
ing Nazis, regardless of
whether or not, • in this
case, he is guilty of war
crimes."
Hazners served as a
major in the Nazi-
sponsored Latvian SS Le-
gion. He entered `the U.S.
from Germany in 1956 in
violation of the anti-war
criminal proviso of the
1953 Refugee Relief Act,
the U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization- Service
(INS) has charged. The
INS opened deportation
proceedings against him
in Albany last week. A
hearing is schedUled to
begin June 20.
John S. Hayes, chair-
man of Radio Liberty-
Radio Free Europe (RL-
RFE), admitted it had not
fully checked Hazners'
background when it
bought his scripts be-
cause "he does not broad-
cast, he is not a staff
member, he is a free
lancer."
This week Radio Lib-
erty president Sig Mic-
kelson wrote Koch that
the station would no
longer buy scripts from
Hazners.
RFE-RL was estab-
lished last year as a
government-sponsored
non-profit corporation to
run the two anti-
Communist radio sta-
tions which were started
by the CIA in the 1950s.
RFE broadcasts to the
entire East European
bloc and Radio Liberty
only to the Soviet Union
of which Lativa is now a
part.
The stations will re-
ceive more than $52 mil-
lion from the government
in the current fiscal year.
