LONDON (JTA) — Two of six
men who appeared for hearings in
a magistrate's court here Monday
on charges of having set fire to
two synagogues told police inter-
rogators that Colin Jordan, leader
of the National Socialist move-
ment, thought it was "a good idea"
to -burn down a synagogue, accord-
ing to police testimony.
The two are Paul Williams
Dukes and Graham Chant. With
four others, they are accused of
arson in the fires set last July
in a synagogue at Clapton, in
North London, and in another
Jewish house of worship in the
suburb of Ilford.
Police witnesses testified that,
in a statement made by Dukes, he
had said: "I joined the National
Socialist movement in April 1965.
Colin Jordan was at one of the
meetings, and he said it would be
a good idea to burn Jewish syna-
gogues but could not give official
backing to such a scheme."
Chant was quoted as telling the
police that Jordan said such acts
were up to the individuals but he
"did not wish to know anything

about it if they got caught." He
allegedly described to the police
the details about how he had
started one of the fires. The four
