Meir States Soviet Jews Will Continue To Emigrate
Prime Minister Golda Meir said Jews fleeing the Soviet Union will keep leaving despite Austria closing the Schoenau transit camp 70 miles south of Vienna. She spoke after a 90 minute Vienna meeting with Chancellor Bruno Kreisky and said a direct Moscow to Tel Aviv flight would help, though unlikely without Soviet approval. Kreisky defended closing the facility citing security concerns and warned the UN refugee agency may not take over. Meir and the cabinet will consider Netherlands’ offer to shelter emigrants as an alternative route.
