Waldheim himself intends to take legal action in response to allegations of his complicity in Nazi persecutions and atrocities. The allegations were the basis of the U.S. Department of Justice's decision, announced two week ago, to bar Waldheim from entry into the United States. It is "time to respond to these slanders through legal channels," Waldheim said on a radio interview, but he did not specify what type of legal action he was considering. Mock, who is vice chancellor and head of the conservative People's Party which ran Waldheim as its Presidential candidate last year, said the commission would be established after consultations with the President. He said it would comprise Austrian historians but could include foreign .scholars approved by Waldheim. Mock also said that' the "White Book" Waldheim commissioned to set straight details of his war record has been completed. He said it and the documents used to incriminate Waldheim, which the Austrian government has requested from Washington, would be made widely available. Large N. J.

Today, finally, we bring them to rest in this holy Jewish ground."

The day of the burial was Yom HaShoah last month, the place was the historic Alliance Cemetery in Norma, New Jersey., The bones had been found by participants of a Jewish community mission to Po- • land and Israel.

"We thought, like so many tourists, to bring home a piece of that place for our community's Holocaust Archive. We reached into a pile of debris beside the crematorium and. were shocked to find a mound filled with fragments of bone and ash." Baltus said, "It was evident from the placement of the mound that this was material that had been shoveled out of the building.
