A group of some 400 Israel-bound Czech Jews today passed through Vienna en route to Naples, whence they will sail for Israel.

Erwin Schulhof, a Socialist and former inmate of the Buchenwald concentration camp, speaking for a group of former Nazi victims among the immigrants, compared the present regime of Czechoslovakia with that of the Nazis and said that many former collaborators held official positions now. Most of the immigrants #### that the current wave of emigration of Israel-hound Jews was increasing ##-Semitism in Czechoslovakia. Emigrants, in all professions, have been finessed from their jobs because they did not Join the Communist Party, some of the immigrants said.
