The Jewish Community of Vienna, in a formal resolution adopted today, once protested to the Austrian authorities against the release of a number of Gestapo leaders and former Nazi policemen turned over to the Austrians by the Soviet Union, together with files documenting their murders of Polish Jews during the Nazi regime.
The community has decided that it this protest, like a number of earlier ones, is ignored by Justice Minister H. Kapfer, it will organize protest meetings in all provinces of Austria. It will also appeal to world public opinion.
Meanwhile, a community meeting re-elected Dr. Erail Maurer president and named two other Socialists as vice-presidents. In the last elections the Socialist ticket, headed by Dr. Maurer, won a clearcut majority.
