Rep. Becker informed the
Mayor that he was "outraged"
at the thought that an outdoor
rally permit might be granted
to Rockwell. The Nazi rallies,
said the Congressman, "do not
involve a matter of free speech
because they are designed to
destroy freedoms of American
citizens." (In Washington, Rep.
Becker also complained to the
Department of Justice against
the continuing Nazi rallies be-
ing held in the capital.)

First Fines Levied
Against Stormtroopers

By MILTON FRIEDMAN
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Two
storm troopers of George Lin-
coln Rockwell's American Nazi
Party were fined for disorderly
conduct in the first legal action
against the neo-Nazi group.
At the same time, Sen. Lyn-
don Johnson, chairman of the
Senate Preparadness Investigat-
ing Subcommittee, officially
asked the Defense Department
to explain its position on
"active participation" of U.S.
military personnel in the neo-
Nazi group. The Senate majori-
ty leader's request was sent
directly to Secretary of Defense
Thomas S. Gates, Jr.
The Department of Justice
meanwhile made it known that
no action had been taken to
label the Rockwell group as
subversive because of "free
speech considerations." Assist-
ant Secretary General J. Wal-
ter Yeagley said that "notwith-
standing the highly offensive
nature" of the activities of the
neo-Nazis, they usually involve
the interpretation and applica-
tion of the free speech and
guarantees of the First Amend-
ment to the Constitution and,
generally speaking, fall within
the protection of these Consti-
tutional safeguards."
Yeagley made these points in
a letter to Rep. Seymour Hal-
pern, New York Republican,
who had protested the group's
activities in the nation's capital.
Yeagley also wrote that the
Justice Department would con-
tinue to study the problem and
that it would institute appropri-
ate proceedings if enough
evidence developed.
The first legal crackdown
on the neo-Nazis was the levy
by Judge George B. Neilson
of fines of $10 and costs
each against Daniel Borros
and Barton. N. Clayton, both
in their twenties.
The defendants arrogantly ad-
mitted they were Nazis and
claimed they were not guilty
because of "free speech" rights.
Police officers and witnesses
testified the pair used profane
and abusive language at an anti-
Semitic rally near the National
Archives. The targets of the
abuse were non-Jews who ob-
jected to the Nazi agitation. The
judge warned the two Nazis to
obey the laws and avoid force
and violence.
Two Jewish organizations pro-
tested to the Federal and Dis-
trict of Columbia authorities
against a new concession made
to George Lincoln Rockwell and
his "American Nazi Party."
The Jewish War Veterans
of America filed a protest
with the Department of In-
teriotagainst the renewal of -
permission to Rockwell to use

powerful loudspeakers at his
outdoor meetings. The Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith made a similar com-
plaint to the District police.
Rockwell had been temporari-
ly barred from using amplifica-
tion apparatus because his anti-
Jewish tirades incited to riot
and evoked resentment from
hundreds of tourists at every
rally. The restriction was lifted
however for Sunday's rally.
When the police had, on pre-
vious weeks, temporarily with-
held loudspeaker permission,
the rallies were smaller and
more orderly because he did not
attract crowds from blocks
around. A number of tourist at-
tractions are within range of
the loudspeaker hi-fi system
which Rockwell transports to
the rallies on a trailer truck.
Six men were arrested during
the weekend in Nazi disturb-
ances here. Included were two
Jews who voiced disagreement
with Nazism at the rally. But
Rockwell, who taunted, baited
and beleaguered Jews, was not
arrested, police said, because
they had orders to preserve his
"free speech."
Larry Selinker, 22-year-old
Providence, R.I., man who
recently received a Master's
degree from American Uni-
versity here, was arrested
after being abused by one of
Rockwell's "stormtroopers."
The Nazi, also arrested, for-
feited $10 collateral. Selin-
ker asked for a trial and will
appear in Municipal Court
on July 12.
In another Nazi fray, police
in nearby Arlington. Va., at the
Nazi headquarters building, ar-
rested two Nazis and a non-
Jewish anti-Nazi. The anti-Nazi
and one Nazi were charged
with assault. A second Nazi in-
volved in the brawl was held
for using profanity.
Despite widespread protests
to the Marine Corps, a marine
was again active at Rockwell's
side as a "stormtrooper." Rock-
well also bragged that he had
just recruited a U.S. Capitol
police officer to his "storm-
troop force."
Arlington County Judge Paul
D. Brown convicted two men
described by police as Rockwell
supporters. One was found
guilty of assault and sentenced
to 60 days in jail, 50 of which
were suspended. Another was
convicted of breach of peace
because he used "language cal-
culated to provoke a fight." He
was fined $100 of which $75
was suspended.
The United States park po-
lice force and the chief pro-
secutor of the District of
Columbia were accused of
"gross injustice" by Ben
Strouse, chairman of the
regional board of the Anti:
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith, on Tuesday.
Strouse pointed out that the
authorities tolerated Nazi pro-
vocations but prosecuted Jews.
The ADL chairman charged of-
ficials with "misguided" inter-
pretation of their responsibili-
ties.
In a public statement, Strouse
protested that "for six months
now, the American Nazi Party
has been permitted to engage
in vile public threats and in-
sults on the streets and parks
of our nation's capital. It has
been guilty of disorderly con-
duct. It has constituted a public
nuisance."
Strouse said that "now we
have witnessed the disgraceful
spectacle of the park police ar-
resting and _the corporation
counsel prosecuting the in-
nocent victims of the Nazi, pro-
vocations . . ."
He termed the Jews arrested
"people who have naturally and
righteously reacted. to these
public threats and instills in 'a
normal American way."
