Y. (JTA) Emphasizing and replying that Israel is continuing to seek peacs with the Arab countries, Ambassador Abba Eban, chief of Israel's delegation to the United Nations, told the UN General Assembly that he believes that "this would not be achieved until there were direct negotiations between Israel and the Arab states." The Israel diplomat appealed to the General Assembly for a procedure whereby resolutions which have been superseded could be dropped. He was referring to the practice of the Arab states in making propaganda of past de to sportsmen from 23 countries of North and South America, estern Europe and the British Empire at the close of the Maccabiah Games in Ramat Can. Pre-m'uir Ben-Gurion told the athletes before him on the football field: "Come back to us for the next Maccabiah and bring along representatives of Rumania, Hungary and Russia." The games were sponsored by the Maccabee World Union, Jewish nationalist sports movement, but actually few of the sportsmen belonged to branches of the organization in their countries. A few visiting sportsmen knew what Ben-Gurion was saying in Hebrew but the crowd of 50,000 cheered him and particularly his tacit plea for lifting the Iron Curtain to let Jews out of Eastern Europe.

Nazi Mayor of Berlin Sentenced by German Denazification Court FRANKFURT (JTA) Dr. Julius Lippert, one-time Nazi mayor of Berlin, has been declared a "Class II Offender" by the last remaining denazification court in Hesse. The sentence carried with it a small fine and a ban on Lippert's running for public office, holding editorial positions for five years or receiving government pensions.

The Israeli cabinet rejected a request by the United Nations cisions of the United Nations on Denver Bans Bias in Real Estate Covenants DENVER (JTA) City of Denver has adopted an ordinance governing the submission of real estate development schemes which prohibits the inclusion of discriminatory restrictive covenants based upon religion or race.

Dr. Goldmann Reports on Reparation Talks With Austrian Government Earlier, the athletes paraded into the stadium carrying their national flags. As the contingents passed the stand where Ben-Gurion sat with his wife and officials, in some cases they dipped flags in tribute.

Some waved their hats to the beaming Premier and others saluted stiffly. Ben-Gurion applauded each contingent and seemed to give warmest applause to the Americans. At the distribution of cups before the formal closing of the Maccabiah Games, the fourth since they were first held in 1932, most of the prizes went to Israel but the United States won more prizes than did any visiting team.

Arab refugees displaced by the Palestine war. The new round of charges was led off by Dr. Charles Malik of Lebanon and was taken up later by Dr. Moussa Shabandar of Iraq. While both Arab speakers concentrated on the Jerusalem question, neither made any formal move for a separate debate.

It is foreseen, therefore, that the controversial issue will be a matter of argument rather than of new action at this session. Although a plan for putting the city under an international regime was approved here four years ago, neither Israel nor Jordan, the two parties concerned, has been willing to accept it. Accuses Britain and S.

The Committee is also demanding the return of, or compensation for, furniture and other Jewish household goods sold on the block by the Austrian government after the Anschluss. "Jewish material losses in Austria under Nazi rule exceeded $1,200,000,000," Dr.

Goldmann said. "As in the case of Germany, the Jews are asking repayment for only a fraction of these stupendous losses. Our claims are based on a sober and realistic appraisal of Austria's financial capacity. It would be morally indefensible, on the other hand, to i.bandon these losses. Thousands of persons throughout the world, many of them in destitute condition, have waited for years for compensation for pensions, insurance, bank savings and other assets criminally seized from them by the Anschluss government of Austria." is nothing in the truce to restrict the development of civilian projects unless they should violate the rights of Syrian landowners and that the present development is not invading those rights.

Goldmann is president and which represents the major Jewish organizations of the Western world are: 1. Present Austrian legislation to indemnify victims of Nazi persecution in Austria should be extended to embrace thousands of former Austrians who have resettled and acquired citizenship in other countries. There appears to be agreement on this point between the Austrian government and the Committee, Dr. Goldmann said, and the Raab government has taken some initial steps to meet this demand. 2.

The Committee for Jewish Claims on Austria is seeking a settlement for heirless Jewish property. The funds accruing under such settlement would be used to finance Nazi refugee rehabilitation programs abroad. Some of this money would go into a special fund to assist indigent members of the present Jewish community in Austria. Before the Anschluss, Austria had a Jewish population of 190,000. The survivors lound refuge in other lands.

The present Austrian-Jewish population is estimated at between 9,000 and 10,000. 3.
