NEWS Greek Government Is Pressed On Kurt Waldheim's War Record New York (JTA) — Premier Andreas Papandreou of Greece was urged last week to launch an investigation into allegations implicating Austrian Presiden- tial candidate Kurt Waldheim in the slaughter and deportation of Greek citizens while the former UN Secretary General was based near Salonika as a Wehrmacht officer. , In a cable to the Greek Premier, James Demos, presi- dent of the Hellenic Freedom Foundation in the United States, voiced the concern of many Greek-Americans that the matter be handled properly and urged that the Papndreou government investigate what role, if any, Waldheim played "in the slaughtering of over six thousand Greek Jews, Cretans and partisans on Crete" as well as "in the deportation of Greek citizens and over 80,000 citizens were sent to concentration camps. In 1980, the Hellenic Freedom Foundation, which was organiz- ed in 1979 to promote and preserve Hellenism, announced that the UN had in its archives approximately 40,000 Nazi and other Axis war criminals files which had been compiled by the long defunct War Crimes Com- mission between 1944 and 1947. These files were discovered by Michael Palumbo, a city Univer- sity of New York historian while doing research for a book on World War II atrocities by Mus- solini in Greece. In other developments, Edgar Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress, describ- ed Kurt Waldheim as "a man who is a proven liar"and "un- Mitterand,.

The letter was released by the WJC. The United States Justice Department has requested and is currently examining WJC evidence of Waldheim's past to determine whether he should be placed on the "watch list" of aliens excludable from the United States because of par- ticipation in Nazi-sponsored acts of persecution. In his letter, Bronfman refered to the revelations that Waldheim's Nazi military unit carried out atrocities against Yugoslav and Greek civilians. Meanwhile, Waldheim conced- ed for the first time in an inter- view published that he was aware of atrocities committed against Yugoslav partisans, though he remained insistent that he was not involved in the atrocities. Waldheim also said in the in- terview with The New York Times that he was unaware of the deportation of Greek Jews from Salonika, and also from Vienna, even though he visited the Austrian capital during the war. "I only heard that there were measures against Jews, that they were taken away without knowing where to — we didn't know. But I didn't know it was such a mass affair", he said of the deportation of Jews from EEC Ministers Restrict Libya Paris (JTA) — The Foreign Ministers of the 12 member na- tions of the European Economic Community (EEC), meeting here last week, agreed to measures restricting the move- ment of Libyan diplomats in their respective countries but stressed, though not unan- imously, that "everything must be done to avoid further military action" and an escalation of the U.S.-Libyan conflict arising from the American air raids on Libya. Only British Foreign Secre- tary Sir Geoffrey.Howe refused to concur with the view that political measures must be taken to "deescalate" existing tensions. , •• .. 411 Vienna, which started in 1939. Waldheim, the conservative People's Party candidate in next month's Austrian elections, said he was aware of atrocities against Yugoslav partisans while he was allegedly an in- telligence officer preparing daily battlefield reports in the Bal- kans. Despite Waldheim's asser- tions that he had no knowledge of the deportation of thousands of Jews from Salonika, the head of that Jewish community, Leon Bamaj or, said in an interview in television commentary that it was "a monstrous lie that Waldheim did not know of the fate of the Jews of Salonika." On April 24, 1943, said Bama- jor a Holocaust survivor, 3,000 Jews had to cross the entire city to the Aetto from where they were then deported. "Even the stones of Salonika knew of the drama of the Jews," he added. "Is it possible that Waldheim did not see the yellow stars on our chests, the Jewish cemetery destroyed by the Germans, the shops displaying Jewish proper- ty signs, and the Nazis storming into our homes? "Even a simple soldier coud have observed these things, even a simple German and Waldheim was much more." Israel. Rejects Accusations By Syria Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israel last week rejected Syrian accusa- tions that Israeli intelligence, using Lebanese operatives, had engineered a series of bomb blasts and explosions aboard buses in Syrian towns. Some 150 persons were reported killed in the bomb attacks. Israeli intelligence sources here termed the charges, broad- cast on the state-controlled Damascus Radio, a baseless lie and a transparent attempt by the government to cover up in- ternal Syrian problems. Damascus Radio accused Israeli agents operating from in- side Lebanon of responsibility for the blasts. Official security sources quoted by the radio said the explosions took place on in- tercity buses and that innocent civilians had been killed. The Christian Voice of Leb- anon Radio in Beirut said more than 150 persons were killed or wounded in eight explosions, two at the Mediterranean port of Tarsus, two in the central city of Horns, and the rest in other smaller towns. A previously unknown group calling itself the October 17th Movement telephoned a West- ern news agency saying it was responsible for recent bomb at- tacka in Syria. The anonymous telephone caller said the group represented the Syrian opposi- 10 . : or - • • 11 I 4
