THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Latvian World War II Criminal Maikovskis Identified in Recent Hearing C NEW YORK — Boleslays Maikovskis, a 73-year-old retired carpenter living in Mineola, Long Island, was identified by three wit- nesses in a New York Immi- gration and Naturalization Service hearing room last week as the policeman who beat Jews and selected others for execution in Lat- vian ghettos during World War II. Maikovskis was charged by the INS on Oct. 13, 1976 with having committed atrocities against Jews in Nazi-occupied Latvia and fraudulently hiding his record to illegally enter the United States in 1951. Maikovskis made no response as two of the wit- nesses, flown in from Israel, testified that they saw him beating and whipping Jew- ish adults and children and forcing nonworkers into sep- arate lines for execution in the Dwinsk and Riga ghettos. None of the testi- mony so far, however, has linked Maikovskis directly to murder.

Argentina Seeks Anti-Racism Laws BUENOS AIRES (JTA)— President Jorge Rafael Videla has instructed the Justice Ministry to consider anti-racist legislation within a general revision of the criminal code. The president listed three offenses that would be made punishable by law: mem- bership in an organization based on ideas or theories of racial, religious or ethnic superiority ; propaganda or publications based on such racist theories ; and incitement to violence by individuals or organizations based on racist views. Friday, October 28, 1977 21 DIAMOND STUD EARRINGS As the testimony prog- ressed, however, the man responsible for bringing the Maikovskis case to light was barred from the INS hearing room by Judge Francis J. Lyons. Simon Wiesenthal, currently in the U.S. on a lecture tour, sat down briefly in a spectator's seat until — on a complaint from Maikovskis's lawyer Joseph J. Lombardo — the judge ruled that as Wiesen- thal was not a member of the press, he had to leave the room. The judge said he had closed the hearing to the public for reasons of security. Meanwhile, in Chicago, a request for a preliminary injunction to bar enforce- ment of ordinances prohibit- ing a demonstration by Nazis in Skokie, Ill. was denied by a Federal district judge- in Chicago last Friday. The request by the Ameri- can Civil Liberties Union, on behalf of a Nazi organi- zation, sought to overturn Skokie village regulations which bar marches by per- sons wearing paramilitary uniforms, require that a $350,000 parade bond be posted, and prohibit the dis- tribution of literature that would incite racial or ethnic hatred. y'A' i iits Ir f i " Uri Complete Selection of Diamond STUD EARRINGS All Qualities-All Sizes examples: 2 ct total wgt 14K White Gold 1 ot total wgt 14k White Gold $39900 -Clarity-.
