Adenauer’s
Pledge
to Hiller
\ ictims
BONN, (JTA —West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer has
assured leaders of an organization
of victims of the Hitler regime
that there would be no change in
German commitments to pay res
titution to Jews who suffered un
der the Nazis.
Hans J. Unger, chairman of the
Central Association of Democratic
Resistance Fighters, reported that
a birthday reception for the
Chancellor, Dr. Adenauer took
leaders of the group aside for 15
minutes to discuss the implica
tions of recent statements by Jus
tice Minister Fritz Schaeffer who
called for limiting the amount of
restitution to Jewish victims.
Dr. Adenauer said he had not
discussed the matter with Herr
Schaeffer. He added that he was
disturbed over the play the Ger
man press had given the Justice
Minister’s predictions that the
burden of restitution would ad
versely affect Bonn’s financial
position.
Finance Ministry officiate re
ported that the West German
Government has paid out the
equivalent of $1,500,000,000 in the
five years since it initiated its res
titution program. They include in
the overall restitution picture the
reparations paid to Israel under
the terms of the Luxemburg Pact
and restitution to non-Jewish
victims of the Nazis as well as
Jewish claimants.
On this overall basis, the Fi
nance Ministry estimates that the
restitution reparations programs
will eventually cost Germany $6,-
000.000,000, though they concede
that hard and fast figures cannot
be gathered until the deadline for
filing claims is passed, this March
31. Other estimates of the cost of
the restitution program range
down to a low of $3,000,000,000
and a high of $5,000,000,000.

Dr. Georg Blessin, chief of the
Ministry’s restitution division, es
timated a total of about 18,000,-
000,000 Deutsche Marks ($4,290,-
000.000). In Vienna, Bonn Finance
Minister Franz Etzel gave the
same estimate to a press confer
ence. Herr Etzel also called •’fan
tastic” an earlier estimate by Jus
tice Minister Fritz Schaeffer that
restitution to Jews alone would
amount to the equivalent of $6,-
000.000,000.
