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.
