Unless unforeseen developments occur, the Vienna Jewish Community offices will be reopened Monday under Zionist leadership, according to usually reliable sources. It is understood that a list of 36 proposed leaders, including six members of the executive board and a representative body of 30, has been drawn up with the approval of the Gestapo (German Secret Police).
It is expected that the Palestine Office will be opened soon after the community, probably next Thursday.
