Compiled From Wire
Reports
Kurt Waldheim, former
U.N. secretary general, won
Austria's June 8 run-off
presidential election, with
53.9 percent of the vote in
spite of allegations of a Nazi
past.
"The result showed that
the Austrian people are not
prepared to accept' these
accusations that.have been
made against me," the
67-year-old Waldheim said in
a victory statement on Austrian television.
Others, however, including Israel, have accepted the
evidence- that Waldheim
participated in the Nazi killings of prisoners and civil>
ians in the Balkans. In Tel
Aviv, the Israeli government
issued a statement expressing "deep regret and disappointment at the election of
Kurt Waldheim as president
Of    \llstllJ   '   Kjll\    U'piill^
indicated that Israel was
planning to recall its ambassador to Austria in reaction
to the election.
The American Jewish Congress has asked that Waldheim, because of his/Nazi
past, be barred from the
United States. The U.S. Justice Department, however,
said, shortly after the election, that Waldheim will be
allowed into the U.S. because his status as head of
state would take precedence
over any action against him
under a 1978 law allowing the
US. to deny visas to undesirable aliens. These include
those associated with the
Nazi government and thoise
who took part in mass executions of Jewish and other ethnic groups during WW II.
Waldheim has acknowledged serving in the German
army but as a desk officer
whose job ,was to verify field
reports, not to conduct oper-
