Waldheim’s election defies Austrian constitutional law NEW YORK (JTA) —Kurt Waldheim’s election as president of Austria violates that country’s state treaty—its most important constitutional document—which bars former members of Nazi or ganizations from membership in the armed forces, the World Jew ish Congress has reported. Wald heim became commander-in-chief of the Austrian armed forces when he was sworn in as president last month. In letters to Secretary of State George Shultz, Sen. Pete Wilson (R -Calif.) and Rep. Stephen Solarz (D -N.Y.) urged the State Depart ment to intervene with Austria on the treaty violations. The Austrian State Treaty of Kurt Waldheim 1955 constituted undertakings by Austria to the United States, AJPA calls for probe in Blitzer bump case ST. LOUIS (JTA)—“The gross mishandling of Wolf Blitzer, who was twice ‘bumped’ from partici pation in the coverage of Vice Pres ident George Bush’s visit to Jor dan, is an outrage which must not be repeated and which must be thoroughly investigated,” said Robert Cohn, president of the American Jewish Press Associa tion and editor-in-chief of the St. Louis Jewish Light. Cohn, head of the AJPA, a voluntary organization of 150 American Jewish newspapers and journalists, had issued an earlier statement based on the announce ment that Blitzer, Washington bureau chief of the Jerusalem Post, would be allowed to participate in the Jordan trip after all. “Blitzer, whose work is highly respected and appears in many of our publications, as well as the Jerusalem Post, is an outstanding journalist, who has been published in the New York Times and fre quently appears on national televi sion. He is a U.S. citizen with an American passport,” Cohn con tinued. “The very idea that our respected colleague would be barred not once but twice is outrageous and totally unacceptable not only to the AJPA but to the interests of a vigorous free press in America and the Mid east. Indeed, it is contrary to the spirit of the administration’s spon sored peace process itself.” Cohn added: “It is incumbent on the vice president as well as the White House to instruct their staff not to take it upon themselves to question the credentials of a re spected American journalists at tempting to do his job. Second, steps must be taken to guarantee that the full participation of all credentialed reporters on future official visits to any foreign capital must be assured as a pre-condition to such trips. “While we applaud the effort of the vice president to further the peace process through his current Mideast trip, we feel that his office as well as the government of Jor dan, owe Blitzer and the entire American overseas press corps an apology for this mishandled mat ter as well as firm assurances that it will not be repeated,” Cohn con cluded.

Several clauses deal with the dis solution of Nazi organizations in Austria. Article 12 specifically prohibits service in the Austrian armed forces by persons who had any time belonged to the SA— Hitler’s brownshirted stormtroop- ers. Waldheim has denied having a Nazi past, but documents released in recent months show he had been a member of the SA. The four nations have compelled Austria to comply with the provi sions of the treaty in the past, according to the World Jewish Congress. In the 1960s, the Soviet Union successfully invoked the neutrality provisions of the 1955 treaty to prevent Austria from joining the European Economic Community.
