Nazi Machinations Dis closed
in Hearing on London Bigots
examined by Jordan who said
only a smal part of his seized
property had been produced in
court. The neo-Nazi said some
of it might be relevant to the
defense and Sir Robert told him
he would be permitted to exam-
ine the seized materials if he
wanted to see anything.
A war office scientist, ques-
tioned about 12 pounds of sod-
ium chlorate said to have been
found in Jordan's London head-
quarters, testified that if the
chemical was mixed with sugar
it would produce explosives
equal in blast power to more
than 100 grenades.
Meanwhile, John Bean, organ-
izer of the. British National
Party, another neo-Nazi group,
said his organization's Sunday
meeting at Dalston would be
held in spite of announced plans
of • the anti-Fascist Yellow Star
Movement to hold. an all-day
meeting there at the same time.

headquarters in the Notting Hill
section of London included pic-
tures of Josef Goebbels and Jul-
ius Streicher, two of Hitler's
high-ranking Nazis, as well as
evidence of training in unarmed
combat and semi-military exer-
cises.
Jones told the court that
Spearhead's political creed was
similar to that of Hitler's party
and' was based on anti-Semitism
and everything anti-democratic.
He said the prosecution would
show that the men on trial had
set out to emulate Hitler's sol-
diers, dressing in uniforms in-
cluding brownshirts and jack
boots. The prosecution, he said,
was not being brought to hinder
free speech or to restrict politi-
cal thought, but to check an
organization of this kind in its
infancy.
Extra police were on duty out-
side the Magistrate's Court where
crowds gathered before the hear-
ing began. Loud boos and his-
sing were heard when the four
acused arrived. Several persons
wearing yellow stars, the em-
blem of a new anti-fascist organ-
ization, were seen in the public
benches of the small courtroom
during the hearing. Two or three
spectators had swastikas in their
lapels.
The Board of Deputies of
British Jews disclosed Wed-
nesday it was arranging to
send a deputation to the Home
Office to protest the proposed
march by Oswald Mosley's
Union Movement through the
thickly populated Jewish East
End of London Sunday.
A Board spokesman said the
proposed march would be an
"extreme provocation" to the
many Jews in the area. The
Board, which has written letters
to mayors of the boroughs con-
cerned, indicated it hoped the
Home Office would take action
to prevent the "grave disorders
which are bound to occur" from
the march.
The Fascist leader issued a
statement Wednesday that there
were very few Jews living along
the selected route for the march.
Mosley had planned to hold a
meeting in Birmingham on Sun-
day but called it off on advice
of the Birmingham Chief Con-
stable who said the meeting was
likely to cause "obstruction"Ind
that if this happened his police
would have to close the meeting.
Mosley said he might seek a high
court action against the Chief
Constable. adding that "in effect
the Chief Constable is notifying
us in advance he intends to
close the meeting. I feel he is
`outside his rights:' "

TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Hirsch
Berenblatt, conductor of the
Israel Folk Opera Orchestra,
denied charges of participating
in rounding up Jews in Sazi-
occupied Poland and handing
them over to the Gestapo for
extermination.
According to the • charge
sheet, Berenblatt served as head
cf the Jewish police in occupied
Poland in that capacity rounded
up 7,500 Jews and helped the
Gestapo put them on trains
which took them to Nazi death
camps. He was further accused
of rounding up scores of Jewish
children from orphanages and
handing them over to the Ges-
tapo. Another accusation was
that he took money from Jews
under threats to turn them over
to the Gestapo if they refused
to pay.
In denying the charges, the
Jewish musician said that two
Polish courts had completely
cleared him of all charges of
collaboration with the Nazis.
The charges were based on tes-
timony of various survivors. The
musiCian asked fcir. a prelimi-

He explained that while the
corporation had no contractual
obligation with Israel after the
reactor was completed, it felt it
did have a moral obligation to
fill orders for parts and fuel
needed to keep the reactor func-
tioning. He said the corporation
had so informed the Arab League
Boycott committee.
Asked why he thought the
corporation's name had been
dropped from the banned list,
since the corporation had de-
clined to make the demanded
pledge not to provide any fur-
ther services to Israel. Barall
said the corporation had protest-
ed against the ban to the boycott
committee and that he assumed
this was the reason the corpora-
tion's name had been removed
from the list.
He added that it was quite
likely that AMF would be re-
stored to the list after the boy-
cott committee received the
letter. However, despite the
possibility, the decision had
been made to reject the boy-
cott committee demand, he
said. The decision had been
approved by the corporation's
president, Moorhead Patterson,
before his death a few weeks
ago, he revealed.
He said . the letter to the boy-
cott committee emphasized that
the reactor had been built for
peaceful purposes and that the
same assistance was available to
Arab countries.
The corporation, he disclosed,
had been negotiating with the
boycott committee after the ban
was imposed but that negotia-
tions were broken off by the
corporation when the boycott
committee insisted that the cor-
