The Austro-Jewish negotiations on restitution which were expected to be concluded by the end of June will continue for at least another week, it was indicated here today by Moses Beckleman, head of the Jewish negotiating team.
Mr. Beckleman said that three matters remain to be settled: the lump sum settlement of heirless Jewish property; compensation for individual losses; and removal of discriminatory provisions against Jews in Austrian legislation. He emphasized that the atmosphere at the talks fosters hope of an early settlement.
