Peres orders legal analysis
of charges on Waldheim
by Hugh Orgel
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Prime Min
ister Shimon Peres said Sunday he
has instructed the Justice Ministry
to collect all information pertain
ing to the allegations concerning
Austrian presidential candidate
Kurt Waldheim’s war-time activi
ties as a Wehrmacht officer and to
conduct a thorough legal analysis
of the charges against the former
U.N. secretary general.
“We are not a newspaper, we are
not an institution,” Peres declared
in an address to students from
development towns meeting at the
Hebrew University. “We are a
government. We must give an
answer both serious and substan
tiated. And if indeed the legal
material which we collect and ana
lyze proves that Kurt Waldheim
served in the Nazi army and acted
against partisans or Jews, we shall
draw from this all the appropriate
conclusions.”
Waldheim, whose presidential
campaign has been dogged by alle
gations that he participated in Nazi
war crimes, missed victory in the
election Sunday and will face a
run-off election on June 8. Wald
heim, the candidate of the conser
vative People’s Party, received 49.66
percent of the vote against 43.66
percent for his Socialist rival, Kurt
Steyrer. A vote of 50 percent or
more is required to avoid a run-off.
Israel has remained cautious in
the Waldheim matter, although it
did request and received last month
a file on Waldheim from the ar
chives of the U.N. War Crimes
Commission.

join Anatoly on visit
TEL AVIV (JTA) —Avital
Shcharansky will not accompany
her husband Anatoly Shcharansky

her second month of pregnancy

leading aliyah activist, arrived in
Israel on Feb. I 1 from the Soviet
Union where he had served nine
years of a 13-year prison sentence
for alleged treason and anti-Soviet
propaganda. He was released in an
East-West prisoner exchange.
His 10-day visit to the United
States will begin May 1 1 when he
will participate in Solidarity Sun
day for Soviet Jewry.
He will tour the country to thank
the many Americans and U.S.
