Plan; Will Consult Envoys
New York, (JPS)—Key posi-
tions in the Austrian Govern-
ments are now in the hands of
secret Nazi Party members who
never had their names in-
scribed on the rolls and are
thus able to refute charges that
they are Nazis, Seymour Fried-
in, New York Herald. Tribune
correspondent, reports from Vi-
enna. President Leopold Gigl is
known to be a notorious anti-
Semite. ^
The die-hard Nazis in Aus-
tria, by adopting the same
methods used by the anti-Nazi
underground are gradually
gathering strength and recruit-,
ing new members for a re-
emergence when the occupying
powers leave, Mr. Friedin
writes.
Best prospects for member-
ship in the new Nazi under-
ground he reports, are not for-
mer, Nazi Party members, but
returned prisoners of war >and
persons who have lost, or are
la Anger of losing their “Ary-
anized” property which for- be
mefly belonged to Jews. ^7^ /el
Dr. Silver said, has become re-
lated to the American political
platform. This means not a fight
against American interests but’a
fight for the moral integrity of
American election platform*
Dr. Silver criticized Dr. Steph-
en S. Wise, co-Chairman of the
Emergency Council, for alleged-
ly breaking discipline in the bat-
tle over the British loan. Zion-
ists didn’t want to block die loan,
Dr. Silver asserted, but dfal want
to use it for political pressure.
The administration, he added,
should understand th? position of
the Jews in this matter. '
