MONTREAL-
" Montreal Jewry protested for three consecutive days last week the Austrian gov-erninent's recent closing of the Schoenau transit camp, despitp a heavy downpour of rain and the lack of time to mobilize the community. : Close to 400 demonstrators marched in front of the Austrian Consulate on Sherbrooke St. - a main downtown thoroughfare - carrying banners and brandishing a large Israeli flag. A delegation of community leaders from the Committee for Soviet Jewry had previously made an appointment but when they went to present their document the consular doors were shut. The petition was shoved beneath the door.
Congress' Eastern Region Chairman Murray B. Spie-gal read a statement before the gathered crowd. He shouted: "Are two brigands (terrorists) powerful enough to bring the government of Austria to its knees?"
David Avoyou, vice-president of the Association Se-pharade Francophone, read a text in French before French-language press and television.
Earlier in the week, members from the Synagogue Council of Greater Montreal presented a statement to the consul-general of Austria.
This group was more fortunate in meeting virith Dr. Nandor Loewenheim, the consul-general, in his office on Sherbrooke Street. A formal statement urged the Austrian government to continue to permit the flow of Soviet immigrants through Schoenau. saying that the representatives of Montreal's major synagogues

"were deeply shocked."
Rabbi Bernard Bloom-stone, spiritual leader of the Temple Emmanu-Elimplor'-ed the consul "in the name of God" to extend every effort to assist the Soviet olim.
The quiet-spoken Dr. Lbie-wenheim briefly assured the delegation that he would transmit their statement to the minister of external affairs. He added that he well understood the difference between life and death, hav-. ing lost his wife two months before.
Late last week a delegation from the Association of Survivors of Nazi Oppression traveled to Ottawa for a hearing before Charges d"-. Affairs Dr. Max Pammer of the Austrian embassy.
Association President Abba Beer reminded Austria of its '• moral obligation" considering the past and pressed them oh humanitarian grounds to allow the transit camp to remain an active post of freedom.
Meanwhile, using language not ordinarily resorted to by top diplomats. Ariel-Peter Aran, the newly installed consul-general
in Montreal, deviated from the norm and called Austriastand "disgusting."
The 45-year old multilingual official, who arrived in Montreal-only three weeks ago, is keenly aware of Austrian affairs since he has spent the last several years in Jerusalem acting as vice-director of the Western -European division of the ministry of foreign affairs.
"1 believe it was the most astonishing news 1 have heard in the last few years," he exclaimed. "It makes my blood boil."
Aran said that the Schoenau staging camp is a privately-owned establishment leased to the Jewish Agency and if Austria were a free nation, it would not intervene or disrupt legal transac-' tions.
He stressed that no Austrian government decision, or actions taken by Arab •"mobsters" would deter the immigration of Soviet Jews "who have suffered so much since the Six Day War to obtain their freedom."
The tall diplomat made his remarks at a press conference arranged by Israel
BondsHe said the staging camps and arrival areas for the USSR olim have been sufficiently protected in the past .by either Austrian or Jewish officials, and that "previous attempts to perpetrate attacks have never been successful." Tlie new consul-general
found it a strange occurrence that two well-armed terrorists could board a train in the Czechoslavakian police state without the guards being aware.
Aran felt confident that fhe Austrian Jncident will not hamper the immigration of USSR Jews.
