Germans Arrest
Former Chief Rabbi
At Munich Airport
MUNICH, (JTA) — Former
Chief Rabbi of Bavaria Dr. Aron
Ohrenstein was arrested here on
charges of attempting to flee the
country while under a one-year
sentence for fraud.
Rabbi Ohrenstein, who has
been abroad any number of times
since his original conviction in
1952 and two subsequent appeals
to the German Supreme Court,
had purchased a one-day round
trip ticket to Zurich, where he
was going on business. When
seized by German customs agents,
he protested that he carried noth
ing but a brief case with papers
and about $50 in cash and that
the German authorities apparent
ly had no fears of his becoming a
fugitive since they had never re
voked his passport.
Austrian Poll Says
Anti-Semitism Lower
VIENNA, (JTA) — Anti-Se
mitism in Austria is on the de
cline, it was asserted here by
“Der Neuer Kurier,” a Vienna
newspaper, on the basis of re
plies it received to a question
naire circulated among its read
ers. Eighty per cent of the per
sons who replied indicated they
would welcome more Christian-
Jewish understanding.
The favorable replies came
from both Jews and non-Jews.
Some 20 per cent who were op
posed to closer understanding,
said they did so because they
considered the differences be
tween the two groups unbridge
able. The newspaper asserted
that only an insignificant number
of the letters received revealed
any anti-Semitic tendencies.

British Transfer
Remains of Irgun
Comdr. to Cyprus
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
remains of David Rasiel, first
commander of the Irgun Zvai
Leumi, who was killed in Iraq
while on a mission for the
British during World War II 14
years ago, were transferred from
Iraq to the Jewish cemetery in
Cyprus by the British authori
ties. It is understood that his
family and particularly his
widow, who is now a Herut deputy
in the Israel Parliament, have
been requesting British authori
ties for many years not to leave
his body in Iraq.
Rasiel had been assigned by
the British security authorities
in Palestine to assist British
forces in quelling the Axis-back
ed revolt of Rashid al Ghaliani
in Iraq, and in sabotaging Ger
man Luftwage units stationed
there. Rasiel was killed in a Ger
man bombing raid while in a
car with a British major on his
way to perform a mission. Ra
siel was buried in Habaniyah.

THIS CASE RECORD COULD SAVE YOU MONEY—He had
gone to a large garage in the city which does not specialize.
The estimate to fix his transmission was in the neighborhood of
$100. He saw our ad in The Southern Israelite and came to us.
In half an hour we sent him on his way—happy and with a
bill of only $6.39. What a difference, but we charge on the
