The Jewish-Austrian talks on payment by Austria of compensation to Jewish victims of the Nazi regime and on heirless Jewish property will be resumed tomorrow, after a ten-day interruption, it was indicated here today.
It is understood that Chancellor Julius Raab will meet tomorrow with Moses Beckelman, head of the group of Jewish technical experts engaged in the negotiations. Government sources today indicated that at this meeting the fate of the negotiations may be decided. However, Mr. Beckelman said that he does not know whether the meeting will be of a decisive nature since he only expects to hear from the Chancellor the latest views of the Austrian Government on the Jewish claims.
Adlai Stevenson, Democratic Presidential candidate, during his visit in Vienna last Friday, on his world-girdling tour, said to representatives of the press: “I am sure that a prompt and just settlement of the Jewish claims by the Austrian Government would be welcomed throughout the whole world, especially in the United States.”
