WASHINGTON — Municipal
Judge George Neilson accepted
Wednesday a demand from As
ti
sistant Corporation Counsel
P.;
Clark King for an immediate
ca
hearing on the prosecution de-
mand that George Lincoln Rock-
well, self-anointed leader of the
"American Nazi Party," be
to
given a sanity examination.
Rockwell was in court again
Wednesday on disorderly con-
duct charges growing out of his
1:0
latest "rally", last Sunday, in
the nation's capital. He had
Lz4 pending a hearing growing out
ti
of a previous trial at which
King had originally asked for
O
a sanity hearing. That trial had
E-4 been postponed until Aug. 10,
;A •
A when court appointed Attorney
Robb Parker, asked for contin-
uance so that Rockwell could
E44
get psychiatric help.
At the hearing Wednesday,
King reinstated his demand for
an immediate sanity hearing.
Parker objected, pointing out
that Rockwell had been cooper-
ating with the court and there
was no need for a detention or-
der.
King replied that Rockwell
was dangerous, and noted that
Rockwell had again been arrest-
ed, even while a hearing was
pending on a previous disorder-
ly conduct charge. King said
that there had already been
bloodshed and that action
should be taken to avoid more
violence.
The judge accepted King's ar-
guments and the hearing began
Wednesday morning on the
sanity issue. One of the wit-
nesses who testified before the
noon recess was Henry C. Bor-
chard, Jr., reporter for the
North Virginia Sun of Arling-
ton, Va., Rockwell's residence
z
city.
Borchard, who said he had
been associated with Rockwell's
group, said he had had many
long talks with Rockwell and
that Rockwell had talked • re-
peatedly about "gassing the
Jews."
Lt. Walter Lange, of the Cap-
ital Park Police, testified he
had been on duty at a number
of Rockwell rallies and that he
had heard Rockwell preach ex-
termination of the Jews.
Rockwell, who .faces charges
of disorderly conduct at his Ju-
ly 3 rally, appeared before
Judge Neilson on Monday and
asked for additional time to
prepare for his defense, claim-
ing he had difficulty getting
psychiatric advice. Judge Neil-
son suggested •that he go to
D. C. General Hospital, where
he could be observed as an out-
patient free of charge. How-
ever, the hospital authorities
said this could not be accom-
plished on such a basis, as the
psychiatric division was not
equipped for out-patient service.
The judge therefore continu-
ued the hearings to give Rock-
well more time, but he will
have to secure the services of
a private psychiatrist.
Rockwell and 17 of his troop-
ers appeared in court again
Wednesday to face new charges
of disorderly conduct at the
rally last Sunday.

(JTA reports that the Justice
Department had assured Adolph
Held, national chairman of the
Jewish Labor Committee, that
the activities of the American
Nazi party headed by Rockwell
are "under study." Held had

Eshkol Approves
C.O.L. Increase
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM.—Levi Eshkol,
Israel's Finance Minister, dis-
closed Tuesday he had approved
an agreement with the Histad-
rut, Israel's labor federation,
for an increase in cost of living
allowances to workers.
His action evoked surprise
because the increase in the con-
sumer price index to which such
allowances are linked is this
year two tenths of a point short
of the minimum required for
increases in the allowance.
The increase involves an esti-
mated five to fifteen pounds
($3 to $8) per month for wage
and salary earners. It was esti-
mated that the increase will in-
ject into , Israel's economy an
additional flow of purchasing
power of some40,000,000pounds
(about $22,000,000) annually.
The Finance Minister express-
ed confidence that if the Hista-
drut implemented its "promised
measures", the nature of which
he declined to discuss, Israel's
economy would be able to ab-
sorb the increase without seri-
ous inflationary effects.
The Histadrut's "promised
measures", it was reported, pro-
vide that only half of the allow-
ance increase will be payable
during the next six months,
with the full increase to be paid
only in the second six months.
The unpaid portion of the in-
crease would then be paid to
employes in monthly install-
ments.
The Histadrut also reportedly
promised to put pressure on
Histadrut pension fund man-
agers to make considerable ad-
ditional investments in govern-
ment bonds, a step which would
be considered anti-inflationary.
The speed with which Eshkol
abandoned his expressed , oppo-
sition to the living allowance
increase gave rise to specula-
tion that he had received from
the Histadrut a secret commit-
ment that no wage increases
would be asked by the Hista-
drut's constituent unions at
least until next year.
