U.S. Pressure in Walter Rauff Case

NEW YORK (JTA) —
Nazi-hunter Beate
Klarsfeld on Wednesday
appealed to the United
States and American public
opinion to help pressure the
government of Chile to
expel Nazi war criminal
Walter Rauff, responsible
for the murder of thousands
of Jews during World War

Last week, Nazi-hunter
Simon Wiesenthal an-
nounced that the Wiesent-

distributing 1.5 million
postcards to pressure the
Chilean government on
Rauff.
International Bnai Brith

the Rauff case. The organ-

seeking meetings with Chi-
lean officials on the case.

Section to Meet

Group Bombs
Soviet Home

NEW YORK — A group
calling itself Jewish Direct
Action claimed responsibil-
ity for three explosions
which rocked the Soviet dip-
lomatic residence in the
Riverdale section of the
Bronx Thursday morning.
The caller told news
media 10 minutes after the
explosions that such actions
would continue until
Anatoly Shcharansky and
other Soviet Jewish dissi-
dents were released from
Soviet prisons and allowed
to immigrate.
The Soviets refused to
allow New York firemen
into the residence com-
pound to extinguish a car
fire started by one of the
explosions.

The Michigan Demo-
cratic Party will have ab-
sentee ballots available for
Jews who observe the Sab-
bath and wish to participate
in the state's Democratic
Presidential preference
vote on March 17.
Persons whose religious
convictions prohibit them
from voting that day may
obtain an application for an
absentee ballot by writing
to Absentee Certificate,
Michigan Democratic
Party, 606 Townsend St.,
Lansing 48933. Applica-
tions must be submitted
prior to March 6.

impact on her life.
