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.
