He said the JDC would not set up aid centers without Israel's approval because he is afraid that they will turn into "magnets" pulling Falash Mura and Jews to leave their villages with- out any promise of a future in Israel, and that the JDC will then be required to support them at great cost. Granot said the Israeli government's attention will now be focused on the Jews of Kwara. A remote area bordering Sudan, Kwara is populated by some 2,500 Jews whose presence has long been known to Israeli and humanitarian aid authorities. But their names were excluded from the 1991 airlifts, appar- ently ecause of internal Ethiopian Jew- ish disputes. The Israeli courts are expected to decide their status soon, said Will Recant of JDC. ❑ Swiss Reject Compensation Claim ONE TIME DEALS! ALL MERCHANDISE WHILE QUANTITIES LAST.

The issue, he said, is that "the Falash Mura are a group of Chris- tians." In their letter pleading for help, representatives of the Falash Mura who recently fled to the capital, said, "We were forced to leave our old vil- lages and come to Addis Ababa, thus planning to leave for the Holy Land, Israel. "In our old villages our houses were burnt down, our cattle were looted and our daughters were forcefully taken away since we were not willing to let these people who were responsi- ble for all the damage marry our daughters. "They repeatedly kept asking us why we did not leave and when we would be leaving the area. And conse- quently, they used to beat us up and even killed some of our people," wrote the leaders in a letter they presented to Ribakove Gordon. Schneider of the JDC described his organization as being "between a rock and a hard place." New York wiss Jewish leaders have sharply S criticized a government deci- sion to deny compensation to a Jewish refugee whom Swiss border guards handed over to Nazi Ger- many in 1943. "The reaction of the government is not acceptable, especially because in 1943 the government knew exactly what was going to happen to those Jews returned to the Nazis," said Werner Rom, president of Zurich's Jewish com- munity. Joseph Spring, 71, who now lives in Australia, had demanded $67,000 in compensation from the Swiss govern- ment. But the government said Tuesday that while it deeply regretted the inci- dent, Spring's claim had no legal basis. Sources close to the government said the Cabinet vote was 4-3 against Spring's claim. The main opponent was Foreign Minister Flavio Cotti, who voiced con- cern that a settlement would lead to demands from other Jewish survivors for compensation, a source said. Switzerland expelled more than 30,000 Jews during the war, most of whom died. At the same time, Switzerland provided refuge to about 25,000 Jews, who survived the war together with Switzerland's 20,000 Jewish citi- zens. Spring had charged that in 1943 he was turned away at the Swiss bor- der twice. The first time, Swiss border guards sent him back to occupied France, but on the second occasion he and three others fleeing with him were handed over to the Germans. In that second attempt to cross the Swiss border, Spring and his companions had false papers to mask their religion. But when they arrived in Switzerland, they showed their real papers, thinking that they would get asylum more easily as Jews. After they were handed over to the Germans, they produced their false papers. But German officials knew they were Jewish — because, Spring charges, the Swiss border guards gave the Germans their real identity papers. Spring was sent to Auschwitz. Thomas Lyssy, vice president of the Swiss Jewish community, said the government's refusal to compensate Spring was "a moral disaster."
