Allowed by Leader

Vienna, Jan. 7.

The Jewish youths of Austria will in future not be allowed to be members of the General state youths association but will have their own organization, the leader of the Austrian State Youths Association "Cesterreichisches Jungvolk," Count Valsassina, declared at a meeting of sub-leaders yesterday.

Count Valsassina pointed out that Austrian youths must be educated in a Christian, German and socially fair spirit. Jewish is therefore "would not like to have their children Organized in the "Oesterreichisches Jungvolk."

The Count announced that a special organization for Jewish youths would be founded but that Jewish youths would not thereby be excluded from the possibility of joining the "Patriotic Front." He would reserve himself a decisive influence in the appointment of the Jewish youth leaders. The new regulations, he declared, will in no way violate the Austrian constitution but constitute the only possible way of solving the problem of Jewish youths.—Trans-Ocean.
