The Austrian Cabinet today approved and sent to the Parliament a draft bill to establish a $20,000,000 fund for Jews and other victims of Nazi persecution.

The fund, to be used over the next ten years, covers persons victimized in Austria but who have since settled abroad. Present legislation covers only victims now in Austria. The Austrian government agreed to establish the fund in talks July 18th with leaders of world Jewish organizations, headed by Dr. Nahum Goldmann.
