Dr. Albert Vajs, president of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Yugoslavia, in a broadcast over Radio Belgrade, monitored here, expressed appreciation of a new Yugoslav law establishing the legal position of religious denominations in the country.
Dr. Vajs said the bill established full equality of all religious denominations and “proposed to banish religious intolerance, from which the Jews have suffered so much in the past and which is again appearing in the countries of the Soviet Bloc and among fascist and reactionary groups in other countries.”
