PHILADELPHIA (JTA) —
Five American Nazi Party
"Stormtroopers" were denied
reduction of bond this week-
end, after the District Attar-
ney's office contended the ac-
cused were linked with an in-
ternational Nazi conspiracy
which might sneak them oitt of
the country to escape trial.
The Nazis were arrested last
week on charges of inciting to
riot, after they provoked a dis-
order at a midtown corner.
Bond was set at $2,500 each.
The men appeared before
Judge Ethan Allan Doty with
a request that their bail be re-
duced to $100 each. Assistant
District Attorney F. Emmett
Fitzgerald, Jr., vigorously op-
posed any reduction in bail.
Fitzgerald told the court:
"These men are members of an
international organization, and
the District Attorney's office
has no guarantee that the or-
ganization won't ship them out
of the country to avoid trial."
The District Attorney's posi-
tion apparently arose from re-
ports, that . George Lincoln Rock-
well, leader of the American
Nazi Party, is now heading the
world Nazi movement while the
British leaders are in jail. It has
also been reported that the
Rockwell group maintains con-
tacts with Nazis in Argentina,
Germany and elsewhere.
Magistrate E. David Keiser
has ordered the five Nazis held
for the grand jury on charges
of conspiracy and inciting to
riot. The maximum sentences
under conviction of the two
charges is five years' imprison-
ment.
Jewish Folklore—Untapped Treasure
By HANNAH PETOR
Israel is a laboratory for
anthropological, sociological and
psychological research, with the
many strange customs, dances,
jewels, attires and tales supply-
ing limitless raw material.
To preserve these variegated
and precious folkloristic treas-
ures and artistic traits inherent
in the new arrivals streaming
into the country from all cor-
ners of the earth, steps must
be taken to save this precious
national heritage from advanc-
ing modernization and standard-
ization.
It is a regrettable fact, for
instance, that many dances can-
not be seen any longer in their
original, beautiful costumes,
and that many songs and say-
ings have suffered moderations
in style or in content. Many
customs of the Jewish com-
munities have their origin in
civilizations long gone by, and
many have been adopted from
countries which at one time or
other were host to a Jewish
group. The Jewish people, being
an entity of such venerable age,
it is both interesting and re-
warding to trace in its mani-
festations those elements which
go back to the ancient Egyp-
tians, Babylonians or Phoeni-
cians, etc., and make them fac-
tors for scientific research.
C011ections of folkloristic
raw material are in existence
in Israel, as, for instance, the
archives of folk tales of the
Jews from Yemen, Iraq and
Abyssinia; of "Romanceros",
or songs of the Spanish Jews
of the Middle Ages; of cus-
toms of the Indians, Kurdish
and other Jews.
Preliminary studies of this
material show that dances, cus-
toms and maxims relating to
the turn of the seasons are
closely related, proving the ex-
tent to which a once agrarian-
minded people was bound to
the soil. These studies throw
light not only on the Jewish
faith down the ages, but also
on the Bible texts in which
many enigmas may be explained
by tracing, how sayings and
songs were modified and de-
rived by mental processes
through the centuries. Thus, for
instance, the tales known to us
from the treasures of Oriental
communities have quite distinc-
tive features in which the re-
ligious content and the spiritual
element dominate.
It was found that Jewish folk
literature has many traits in
common with that of other
peoples.
All studies in this 'highly
fascinating field have so far
been made rather single-
handed and without coordi-
nation. The Hebrew Univer-
sity still lacks a chair in eth-
nological research, but the
work done in this field by
Dr. Noy, a faculty member,
is gaining ground. Related
researches are also being car-
ried out by the Ben-Zvi Insti-
tute, the Yeda-Am Society,
and the Ethnological Mu-
seum at Haifa, of which Dr.
Noy is director.
There is Mrs. Gershon-Kiwi
who makes a study of Oriental
liturgical and folk music. She
records melodies and analyses
them as to their inherent ele-
ments of Islamic, Indian and
Persian art. Miss Aviva Lancet

New York State began efforts to

- The first step was approval by
the New York State Board of-
