Liberal Austrian politician Hans Klement, who said he would refuse to work with Austria’s Chancellor Bruno Kreisky because of his Jewish origin, resigned yesterday in a letter to the executive board of the Liberal’s Viennese section. Their former vice-chairman said he resigned “spontaneously and voluntarily” from all his party functions. Party leaders accepted the resignation. In his letter, Klement called his statement a “regrettable mistake.” Political observers said he would probably be expelled from the party.
