Bonds Boost Desert Farming
Nazis in D.C. Receive Lenient $10 Forfeiture

WASHINGTON — Why are Nazi
agitators seemingly immune from
the same penalties imposed on pro-
- civil rights demonstrators in the
District of Columbia?
This question emerged when it
was learned that Nazi "sit-in" dem-,
onstrators are released on the
mere forfeiture of $10 collateral.
But advocates of civil rights, Negro
and white, are subjected to pay-
ment of a $300 bond. They are
charged with unlawful entry which
- carries a penalty of $300 fine and
six months in jail.
The bond demanded from civil
rights "sit-ins" is higher in the
District of Columbia than in Ala-
bama. But District of Columbia au-
thorities have meanwhile tacitly-
embarked on a soft policy toward
adherents of the so-called Ameri-
can Nazi Party, exempting Nazis
from charges imposed by polibe
against others, although the Nazis:
commit worse offenses.
Negroes were warned that if .
they sought to demonstrate in-
side the United States Capitol
building they might receive five-
year jail terms and $5,000 fineS.
But on Jan. 5, a Nazi, Robert
Lloyd, forced his way onto the
_ floor of the House, disrupting
proceedings, in a racist demon-
stration. He was freed and went
away laughing after forfeiting
only $20 in collateral.
Rep. Charles S. Joelson, New
Jersey Democrat, protested to
District authorities. He pointed
out that Nazi provocations were
being treated lightly here. Dis-
trict officials gave assurances
- that a more serious enforcement
policy would be adopted.
Only a few weeks later, on
- March 14, a solemn interfaith
memorial service for the Rev.
- James Reeb was in progress at La-

fayette Park, across the street
from the White House. Heads were
bowed in prayer for the murdered
clergyman when a Nazi interrupted
the service. The Nazi, Daniel Skel-
ley, displayed an anti-Negro sign,
mocked those mourning Rev. Reeb,
and climbed a tree to disrupt the
memorial. He refused to obey po-
lice orders, handcuffed himself to
a limb of the tree, and had to be
forcibly removed by police.
Attorneys in the crowd regard-
ed this as an incitement to riot,
disturbance of the peace, obvious
resistance to the police and so
forth. But he was quietly released
after forfeiting only $10 colla-
teral and will not be required to
stand trial.
John Patler, attired in the uni-
form of the Nazi stormtroops, was
arrested the same day in front of
the White House on a charge of
disorderly conduct. He was subse-
quently acquitted as a "misguided
young man." The same John Patler
a number of years ago was found
guilty of defacing the Bnai Brith
building in Washington. On June
8; 1964, he was arrested and for-
feited collateral on a disorderly
conduct charge for forcing his way
to the stage of the National Thea-
ter and interrupting a civil rights
meeting.
Nazi Lawrence Smith staged a
"sit-in" by handcuffing himself to
the gate of the British Embassy.
He was released after forfeiture
of $10. But Julius Hobson, a civil
rights leader, was forced to post
$300 bond when he took part in a
demonstration at Benjamin Frank-
lin University---here. llobSVii was
protesting the school's refusal to
admit Negro students.
Eight Nazis disrupted a meeting,
on the campus of American Uni-
versity, starting fights, and throw-
ing the gathering into chaos. Only
$10 collateral was asked. They all
forfeited rather than stand trial.
Negro pickets bearing signs ask-
ing a food supermarket for fair em-
ployment policies were told by po-
lice to remove their signs as "too
inflammatory." But a Nazi counter-
picket was permitted to display
himself in the costume of an ape
with a sign reading, "Who needs
niggers?"
District authorities have ig-
nored requests by the Jewish
War Veterans, Anti-Defamation
League and many Congressmen
for vigorous prosecution of the
Nazis. The Nazis are known to
have boasted that in the District
of Columbia they can get $10,-
000,000 worth of publicity for
$10 collateral.

Dixie Jewish Paper
Urges 'New Approach'
to Negro Rights Issue
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (JTA) —
The sentiments of Jews in the
South with regard to the question
of civil rights for Negroes there
are reflected in an editorial pub-
lished in the Jewish Monitor, the
only Jewish newspaper in Ala
bama, published and edited by
Rabbi J. S. Gallinger.
Declaring that "states rights
can no longer be maintained on
the denial of human rights," an
editorial in the Jewish Monitor
dealing with latest events in the
fight for Negro rights, says: "We
ge -a—new—approach. Willingly
granting human rights to all, with-
out artificial repression re-
straint, is the only way to reaffirm
the political rights of the 'states
as parts of our united republic.
And it is the only way to public
peace."

In Beersheba, experiments are being carried on to develop
agricultural methods suited to a dry climate. With the aid of Israel
Bond investments, successful new industrial crops like cotton, sugar
beets and peanuts have been introduced. The experiment shown
here is concerned with a method called hydroponics, which uses
less water for the production of food and other crops. In addition
to agricultural development, Israel Bonds help finance the expansion
of industry, the exploitation of natural resources and the construction
of housing, schools, roads, railways and harbors.

NEW YORK (JTA)—Growing in-
terest among Israeli students about
Jews living elsewhere in the world,
a desire on the part of many Is-
raelis to strengthen the Jewishness
in their lives, and concern about
religious freedom for the indivi-
dual were highlights among the
observations brought back by a
delegation of 50 younger leaders
of the American Jewish Commit-
tee, who have just returned from
a two-week intensive study mis-
sion in Israel and brief visits to
Rome and Paris.
A preliminary report on the trip,
issued for the group by its co-
chairmen, Richard Maass and Ger-
ard Weinstock, described the early
findings of a three-year attitude
study sponsored by the AJC among
Israeli youth. The research is being
conducted by the Institute of Con-
temporary Jewry of the Hebrew
University, in collaboration with
the department of psychology.
On the matter of religious free-
dom, the delegation stated: "We
have long been deeply concerned
with the complex relationship of
the state to religion as it affects
Jewish life in Israel. We were
therefore pleased to receive assur-
ances from Israel's highest offi-
cials, including leaders of the Na-
tional Religious Party, that they
were strongly opposed to any form
of coercion, whether religious or
anti-religious, and that Israel
would steadfastly adhere to the
principle that there must be no
interference with the religious life
of any individual."

protest, this time directly to Wal-
ter N. Tobriner, president of the
Board of Commissioners of the Dis-
trict of Columbia.
Almost all of the Nazis arrested
reside at the Nazi "barracks" in
nearby Arlington, Va. Being non-
residents of the District of Colum-
bia, police are not required to of-
fer them the present "bargain" col-
lateral benefits.
Two excuses have been advanced
by District authorities. One is that
if the Nazis were brought to trial
they would obtain publicity from
the judicial proceedings. This has
not prevented the vigorous prose-
cution of civil rights activists. The
other excuse is that the District
jail is racially, integrated and that
it would cause problems if Nazis
were confined among Negro in-
mates.
