An Austrian television station received today a package containing a huge swastika and an anti-Semitic letter in what authorities said was part of a show of greater Nazi activity in Austria which they ascribed to the Eichmahn trial in Jerusalem.

Another letter received by the television station said that all Jews should go to Israel and they would be killed if they did not. One office of a television bureau was set afire, destroying teletype documents worth about $1,500. Police were unable to find the culprits.
