Rockwell's international links
with foreign Nazis, still has not
added the American Nazi party
to the subversive list.
A fad among Arlington and
Fairfax County youths is to go
"kike-shooting" in the country.
side. The targets are generally
dummies, not actual persons. Re-
volvers and rifles are easily pur-
chased across the counter.
Some defenders of Rockwell's
"rights," hold that 17-year-old
John C. Vinson, Jr., accused
murderer of the Goldfein boy,
was only coincidentally an ad-
mirer of Nazism, lover of guns,
painter of swastikas, and an ap-
plicant for membership in Rock-
well's "storm troopers." To in-
sinuate that Nazism was in any
way connected with the murder
of a Jew was "guilt by associa-
tion," they say.
Nazism is a legitimate political
concept, in the view of the au-
thorities. It is permissible to sug-
gest to adolescents that Jews be
killed and to glamorize Nazi vio-
lence. Of course, it is extremely
doubtful that the Nazi party ac-
tually told Vinson to take a gun
and go kill a Jew.
But the Nazis created a cli-
mate in the community that
helped poison the minds of men-
tally disturbed youths. It is this
Nazi atmosphere, and not any
vindictive desire for vengeance
against Vinson, that has aroused
community leaders of all faiths.
Citizens committees are being
formed to demand an end to
coddling of Nazis and Nazism.
Lewis Goldfein, an honor stu-
dent and president of his class,
was shot down on the lawn of
his own home as he mounted a
telescope to study the stars.
The accused killer was no
stranger to p o 1 i c e. He was
known to authorities for swas-
tika-painting, possession of guns,
Nazi-leanings, and for other
things.
Whether Vinson was a card-
carrying member of the Rock-
well group or a fellow traveler
was beside the point. The Nazis
announced after murder charges
were brought that he was not
on their official membership list.
The Washington Daily News
reported: "Ironically, the Gold-
feins' family doctor, who on
Saturday pronounced Lewis
dead, had been a target of young
Vinson in July 1961.
Records show that Vinson was

India Releases
300 Torahs at
Request of U.S.

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Am-
bassador John Kenneth Galbraith,
acting on the request of the
White H o u s e, has persuaded
Prime Minister Nehru of India
to order the release of 300
Ancient Torah scrolls, for which
export licenses had previously
been denied.
Indian authorities had refused
to allow export of scrolls, citing
restrictions on "export of silver."
The scrolls are encased in or-
nate, vertical silver containers.
They were used by former Jew-
ish communities of Calcutta,
since dispersed to Israel and
elsewhere. The National Coun-
cil of Young Israel, in New
York, learned of the presence
of the unused scrolls. The White
House alerted Ambassador Gal-
braith.
This weekend, the Ambassador
reported that success had been
achieved. The Indian Ministry
of Finance instructed the chief
controller of imports and exports
and the Reserve Bank of India
to release and allow the export
of the scrolls — silver and all.
The National Council of Young
Israel is arranging shipment.
The scrolls will be distributed
to various synagogues through-
out America, where they will be
placed in a position of honor.

arrested for painting swastikas
on the doctor's car and garage
near the Vinson home.
"Officials familiar with the
boy said he loved guns, had a
history of anti-Semitism and had
once tried to join George Lin-
coln Rockwell's American Nazi
party.
"A Fairfax official who talked
to Vinson at the time of the
swastika painting said the boy
asked him, 'Why are you per-
secuting me?' . and spouted phi-
losophy' for two hours.
"The philosophy, the official
said, leaned to the superman
teachings of Nietzsche."
The Washington Evening Star
quoted police who told how much
Vinson hated Jews and admired
Nazism.
The Washington Post observed
that "in buying the gun for $65,
"Vinson had given an alias" and
provided what later proved to
be a fictitious Arlington address
only a block away from the head-
quarters of George Lincoln Rock-
well's American Nazi party."
Vinson's defense is taking a
line that he is a mentally ill
youth, _ drawn to the Goldfein
home as a peeping Tom, who
opened fire only to avoid being
caught. A question of Nazi in-
fection haunts Jews but many
others see it all as a matter of
mental health and unrestricted
sale of firearms.
The Washington Post said edi-
torially that if Vinson "had been
found to be suffering from small-
pox or cholera or some other

dangerous communicable disease,
he would have been quarantined
in a hospital to protect the rest
of the community. But because
his sickness was of the mind
rather than of the body, he was
dealt with much more laxly.
"For several years Vinson
gave evidence of serious mental
disturbance. He was engaged in
a peeping Tom incident. He van-
dalized an automobile and paint-
ed a swastika on the owner's
driveway. He w a s committed
briefly to a state mental institu-
tion . . . released after a few
months . . . put under psychi-
atric care as an out-patient in
the Fairfax Guidance clinic."
"What is there to say, how-
ever, in defense of laws which
permit the sale of pistols to
juveniles with such a history of
mental illness? . . . Any commu-
nity which allows pistols to be
placed indiscriminately in the
hands of the irresponsible is a
partner and accomplice in what-
ever mischief results from such
criminal folly."
And what about a community
that permits a Nazi movement
to glorify murder and teach anti-
Semitism to disturbed juveniles?
A probationary aide had re-
ported, prior to the crime, that
Vinson's mental derangement
was such "he was incapable of
living in the community" yet he
was coddled. Along, with his
guns and his Nazism, his per-
versions and his hates, until a
rabbi recited the prayer for the
dead.

cabinet began urgent discussions
of the situation in Eilat, Israel's
southern Red Sea port, where,
according to a report by Labor
Minister Yigal Allon, an "exo-
dus" of residents is taking place.
Allon called for measures to
encourage settlers to remain in
Eilat. The need to raise the mor-
ale of the town's residents was
stressed in the discussions, which
will be continued next week.
The cabinet, meanwhile, ap-
pointed a special Ministerial com-
mittee to study all aspects of
establishing television in Israel.
The subject was placed on the
agenda by Education Minister
Abba Eban, who cited the mount-
ing number of television sets

watch only Arab broadcasts.
The committee, headed by
Eban, includes Foreign Minister
Golda Meir, Finance Minister
Levi Eshkol, Labor Minister
Yigal Allon, Welfare Minister
Yosef Burg and Eliahu Sasson,
Minister of Posts.
