Neo-Nazis seldom refer to
Jews as such in their propa-
ganda, using instead such
phrases as "emigrants," "finan-
ciers," "materialists" and "world
conspirators." They rely on the
heavy heritage of Nazi propa-
ganda in the German mind to
make the association between
these names and Jews. In addi-
tion, neo-Nazis deny that the
Nazis murdered Jews, or refer
to them as "hardships" necessi-
tated by the war or criminal
acts which had no relationship
i with Nazism.

Dr. Hale Dies Speaking
at Herzl Institute

NEW YORK (JTA) — Death
interrupted a lecture on "Israel
in the Concert of Nations" at
the Theodor Herzl Institute by
Lin.coln BI Hale, former direc-
tor of the U.S. Operations Mis-
sion to Israel.
Hale collapsed during h i s
talk. A police emergency squad
failed in efforts to revive him
and he was pronounced dead
by an ambulance doctor. Mrs.
Hale, who was in the audience
of 400 persons, said her 58-year-
old husband had suffered a
heart attack two years ago.
The ashes of Dr. Hale may be
laid to rest in Israel. The office
of Premier Ben-Gurion in Jeru-
salem has received information
that Dr. Hale's widow wishes to
bring his ashes to Israel in ac-
cordance with his last wishes.
