Rabbi Irving Miller, National
President of the z. o. A. was the
principal speaker Of the Orlando
opening U. j. A. dinner which
was held February z, in the San
Juan Hotel. Sidney Gluckman
presided over the meeting, and
acted as chairman.
In the course of his address,
during which he appealed for
funds for Israel, the veteran Zion
list Rabbi claimed that the Israel
budget is balanced. However, he
stated that the development bud
get for new immigrants is still in
the red. This budget, he explain
ed, is the responsibility of the
Jews of America, inasmuch as
had not the state of Israel been
established at great cost of blood
and tears by the IsraeIs, it would
have been the responsibility of
world Jewry to resettle the ref
ugees some other place.
Rabbi Miller spoke most elo-
quently, and was enthusiastically
received by the assemblage of
over 800 people.
Also appearing on the program
was Harry Hersfield, well known
humorist, and Cantor A. Marion
of the Jacksonville Jewish Center,
who entertained as soloist with
liturgical and folk songs. Marion
was accompanied at the piano by
John F. Mac Enulty of the Jack

Former Austrian Minister
Charged With Misuse Of
Jewish Assets

VIENNA, (JTA) - DR.. Peter
Krauland, who was the Austrian
Cabinet Minister responsible for
confiscated Jewish property after
the liberation of Austria, and is
now being tried on charges of
misuse of his office for personal
gain, has charged that top Aus

him to get out of the country
rather than stand trial.

Der of the Peoples Party, domi-

eminent, said that former Chan

and Vice Chancellor Adolf
Schaerf, of the Social Democrats,
offered this advice. He further
charged that the Socialists had
made proposals for profiting from
the properties in his chargem but
that he had refused such deals.
DR.. Krauland, who at one time
had responsibility for the opera
ton of $4,000 industrial and COM
mercial enterprises, is accused of
having handed over the operation
of businesses worth millions of
schillings to close associates who
operated them for the gain of
the ring. He is on trial with six
other former hi g h government
officials. The prosecution h s
stated that as a result of the
