"E,A,EptpirineSirtIP4 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. * *..* ' JERUSALEM — The the Office fOr Civil Rights of the Department of remains of a monumental Health, Education and stone inscription ,to Had- rian, the Roman emperor Welfare (HEW).
