Jews whose apartments were taken from them during the Antonesou regime, and who were slated to move back into them on April 23 under the existing law on restoration of property, will have to wait another year, in accordance with a new decree extending to April 23, 1946 the deadline for when present occupants of the apartments must vacate them.
A broadcast on the Bucharest radic today, which announced the new law, quoted Minister of Justice Lucretiu Patrascann as stating that the return of all Jewish tenants wil not be possible, since the government has decided to allow war widows, invalids, orphans, public servants, artisans and workers to stay in their present dwellings. Jewish owners of property, however, will be enabled to move back.
