PHILADELPHIA, (JTA) —
Fear of charges of censorship
emerged as one of the reasons
why the Philadelphia Board of
Education will not ask pub-
lishers to revise textbooks
found to give inadequate re-
ports on the Hitler era, par-
ticularly the Nazi atrocities
against European Jewry.
A Philadelphia Fellowship
Commission survey, which pre-
sented documented evidence
that social studies and history
textbooks were lacking ir_ such
material, was made public at
the Cimmission headquarters.
David A. Horowitz, associate
superintendent of Philadelphia
public schools, said the survey
was "accurate and fair." How-
ever, he added that the Board
would merely transmit the find-
ings to textbook publishers
without recommendations for
revisions.
Horowitz said that the public
school teachers here cover the
issues involved in Commission
criticisms "probably better than
ir most of the United States."
He added that the Board of
Education would not make any
recommendations to avoid be-
coming involved in what might
be considered censorship.
Rockwell Attracts
Few People, Gets
Heckled Welcome
WASHINGTON — (JTA)
—George Rockwell, self-styled
leader of the American Nazi
party, held his weekly rally
again Sunday at the new loca-
tion provided for him by the
District of Columbia authorities.
He was shielded by 26 uni-
formed troopers, some of whom
carried knives in their belts. A
similar number of his followers
were scattered through the audi-
ence of about 200, many of
whom were Jews.
Rockwell, heckled by many
of the spectators, ended the
meeting 20 minutes after it be-
gan. His appearance was tele-
vised by a private firm which
caters to independent and ABC
affiliated stations. Rockwell an-
nounced his rallies would be
going on regardless of what
happened and that if hi were
prevented from speaking, some-
one else would take his place.
Rockwell was freed • on bond
last week following his arrest
on a disorderly conduct charge
in connection with fight which
broke out at a similar rally last
Sunday. He is scheduled to ap-
pear in court July 27. Assistant
Corporation Counsel Clark King
has asked the court to initiate
insanity proceedings against the
Nazi.
The Marine Corps last week
dismissed a young Bronx private
who had been a member of
Rockwell's party. Gen. David M.
S h o u p, Marine commandant,
ordered a "general discharge"
for 22-year-old Pfc. • John C.
Patsalas, an administrative clerk
at the Marine Corps School at
Quantico, Va. The formula con-
tains the phrase "under honor-
able conditions" but it is not an
honorable discharge. Gen. Shoup
acted under a regulation per-
Milting discharge of enlisted
persons "for reasons of un-
suitability."
The action apparently was
prompted by widespread pro-
tests after Rockwell had boasted
repeatedly that he had "re-
cruited" a Marine for his Anti-
Semitic g r o u p. Patsalas had
been arrested by the Shore
Patrol but had been released
after questioning.
Slain Israeli Resisted
Arrest, Jordan Claims
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Jordan delegate at an informal
meeting of the Israel-Jordan
Mixed Armistice Commission as-
serted that a 75-year-old Israeli
who was killed recently after
crossing into Jordan had tried
to use a knife when he was
seized.
The Jordanian delegate in-
sisted that all Jordan border
units had been instructed on
how to treat Israelis who in-
advertently crossed the border.
He claimed that the elderly
Israeli had resisted arrest.
He said two steps would be
taken to improve the situation.
One will be meetings next fall
with social studies department
heads in all senior and junior
high schools with the Commis-
sion for a discussion on ways
of handling the Hitler era in
classroom teaching. Regular an-
nual meetings will be held by
the Board for its social studies
department heads and possibly
teachers.

Maurice B. Fagan, Commis-
sion executive director, said the
Commission would send a re
port to all textbook publishers
and to the National Education
Association. Educators, he de-
clared, had an "obligation" to
say what they wanted in books
"to overcome the bland treat-
rnPnt" by ; publishers. "In some
books, you don't know whether
the authors are for or against
Hitler," he pointed out.
