MUNICH, Germany.-Radio
Free Europe has said the Czecho-
Slovak Communist government
has gone back on its promise of
financial aid for the restoration
of about 200 Jewish cemeteries,
damaged during World War II.
The American-sponsored radio
said the Congress of the Council
of Jewish Societies in Prague
was advised by the governments
special Office for church affairs
last November that the state
was allocating 2.3 million crowns
(about 81 million at the official
exchange rate) for the restora-
ton works.
An inquiry later by the Czech
oSlovak Jewish religious society
brought the answer that the
project must be financed pri-
vately, Radio Free Europe said.
