The Federation of Austrian Jewish Communities has appealed to Chancellor Julius Raab to press for an acceptable offer by the Austrian Government on a lump sum settlement of Jewish heir less property claims. The Austrian Government is expected to make a new offer shortly to the claims committee representing world Jewish organizations.
