Austrian Socialist Party members of the Jewish community here today protested to Dr. Oskar Helmer, Interior Minister, against recent anti-Semitic acts.
The Cabinet member promptly ordered an inquiry into the reported incidents and assured members of the protesting delegation that his ministry would not permit any provocative acts against Austrian Jews. At the same time, he urged his callers not to attribute excessive significance to isolated incidents.
