Waldheim Denies New
Charges Of Involvement
"Dad, this is David. He has his Doctorate from MIT, his father is
Chairman of National Oil, and, he brought the Bartenura Asti!"
Irresistibly delicious, and SO IMPRESSIVE!
That's Bartenura Asti Spumante,
the exciting wine in the stately bottle.
You'll find Bartenura Soave, and Valpolicella
equally delightful too, because no other wines
taste like, or say "Elegance" better.

ROYAL WINE CORP.. NEW YORK, NY
Vienna (JTA) — Austrian
President Kurt Waldheim
last week denied new allega-
tions about his personal
involvement in atrocities
committed against Yugoslav
partisans during World War
II, though he has admitted
knowing of them.
He has also moved to sue an
Austrian periodical for
publishing a story about his
reputed acceptance of bribes
in exchange for sparing the
lives of hostages in Yugo-
slavia in 1943 and 1944.
The new allegations sur-
faced as an international
commission meeting in Vien-
na, which Waldheim himself
convened, broadened the
scope of its investigation
against him after receiving
testimony from his wartime
colleagues.
Articles alleging Wald-
heim's Nazi activities in
Yugoslavia were published in
two German-language maga-
zines, the West German Stern
and the Austrian Wiener
magazine.
The Stern article contended
that the German army unit in
which Waldheim was serving
as a lieutenant was directly
involved in massacres and
deportations in the area of
Kozara, Yugoslavia, during
the summer of 1942.
A spokesman for Waldheim
denied reports in Stern link-
ing the Austrian president
personally to the Kozara
atrocities, in which some
4,000 Yugoslays were killed
and ,10,000 others were sent
to forced labor camps, where
thousands died.
Waldheim initiated legal
proceedings against Wiener
for an article, written by
American journalist Chuck
Ashman, which charged that
Waldheim, as an intelligence
officer in the Wehrmacht dur-
ing World War II, accepted
gifts of coins and gold jewelry
in exchange for sparing the
lives of hostages in Yugo-
slavia in 1943 and 1944.
The Chicago Tribune
reported that Waldheim ad-
mitted in an interview with
that paper that he knew of
Nazi reprisals against
Yugoslav partisans, but in-
sists he was not involved in
carrying them out.
Waldheim said in the inter-
view that he was a victim of
"a defamation campaign
against me by all kinds of
circles" and added that he
has no intentions of resigning
as Austrian president, despite
increasing pressure to do so.
