Assassin's Nazi and Anti-Semitic Associations Shock the Nation

itatus" has been espe-
cially active in Wisconsin
recently. Its "information
coordinator" there, iden-
tified as James
Hickstrom, published a
pamphlet in July 1980 ti-
tled, "American Farmer:
20th Century Slave." The
pamphlet claimed that
Jews congenitally are
unable to farm and there-
fore conspire to control
the world's food supply
by conspiring to control
the international mone-
tary system. It also
claimed that Jesus was
not a Jew and that the
Holocaust never oc-
curred.
The latter allegation has
become a major theme of
neo-Nazi and anti-Semitic
propaganda circulated
world-wide.
Bronson Lafollet, Wis-
consin attorney general, de-
scribed "Posse Comitatus"
as a "self-styled, para-
militaristic fundamentalist
Christian organization,"
'according to a recent report
in the Milwaukee Journal.
According to ADL Informa-
tion Coordinator Mortimer
Katz, its membership is
largely rural and made up of
"Klan types" and former
members of the Minute
Men, a far rightwing anti-
Semitic vigilante organiza-
tion active in the 1960s. He
said there was a frequent
shifting of membership be-
tween the Ku Klux Klan,
the American Nazi Party,
"Posse Comitatus" and
similar violence-oriented
groups.
Jewish leaders reacted to
the assassination attempt
against President Reagan
with urgent appeals for ac-
tion to bar such' terrorism
and with requests for con-
trol of handguns. Prayers
were offered by American
Jews for the President's
early and complete re-
covery.
Bertram Gold, execu-
tive vice president of the
American Jewish Com-
mittee, expressed . the
hope that the attempt to
kill the President "will
encourage us, as a nation,
to reverse this uncivilized
style of heightened vio-
lence."

president of the American
Jewish Congress, said that

"is an attack on civil order,"
adding that "the minimum
first step, by strongest legis-
lation and strict informa-
tion, is to put an end to the
promiscuous possession of
handguns."
Ivan Novick, president of
the Zionist Organization of
America, said, "the assas-
sin's bullets once again re-
mind us that the world is
consumed with hatred and
that violence and terrorism,
by groups or individuals,
must be outlawed by the
civilized community."
Rabbi Arthur Lelyveld,
president of the Synagogue
Council of America, said the
assassination attempt made
it necessary for the Ameri-
can people to "soberly re-
examine the security pro-
visions for the safety of our
leaders." He also said there
must be a renewal of the
search "for rational solu-
tions to the continuing
menace of violence in our
land."
Rabbi Sol Roth,
president of the Rabbini-
cal Council of America,
an Orthodox group,
called on all Americans
to go to their houses of
worship and to pray for
the President's rapid re-
covery.
Rabbi Benjamin - Kreit-
man, executive vice
president of the (Conserva-
tive) United Synagogue of
America, said the assassi-
nation attempt had
"aroused the Jewish come,
munity to the growing
threat of violence on the
American scene." He
"the
that
warned
availability and accessibil-
ity of firearms, and particu-
larly handguns, help to fuel
crime and brutality."
Rabbi William Ber-
kowitz, president of, the
Jewish National Fund of
America, sent a message to
Mrs. Reagan from Grossin-
gers, N.Y.) where a JNF as-
sembly was being held. He
declared that the JNF "ex-
presses its profound shock
and dismay at the senseless
and tragic violence which
has once again struck our
nation."
Berkowitz read to the
delegates a message from
President Reagan Declar-
ing that the JNF, "as the
Both Gillet and Milan
admitted having spread
hate literature but told the
Nice criminal court that
they were not anti-Semites
"but only anti-Zionists."
The two denied responsibil-
ity for the threatening let-
ters received by 54 people
last year. The letters
warned the leaders "to stop
Jewish activities" or "blood
will run." They were signed
"the new fascist generation.
One god only: Adolf Hitler."
The prosecution asked for
eight months imprisonment
for Milan, six for Gillet, and
suspended sentences for
some of their relatives who
helped them hide the evi-
dence.
and the United States."
Among other national
leaders who sent messages
to the President, Premier
Menahem Begin of Israel
reacted with "shock."
Foreign Minister Yitihak
Shamir sent a cablegram to
the President, expressing
"shock at the attempt on the
life of the leader of the Free
World" and Israel's wishes
for a "speedy recovery."

PARIS (JTA) — The state
prosecution Sunday asked
for prison sentences for two
former, members of the
French Neo-Nazi organiza-
tion, F.A.N.E., at the open-
ing of their trial in Nice.
The two, 21-year-old
Marc Gillet and 33-year-old
Daniel Milan, are charged
with spreading hate prop-
aganda based on racial con-
siderations, dissiminating
Nazi Literature and the il-
legal possession of fire
arms. The prosecution
charges that the two were
responsible for the threats
addressed last September to
54 Jewish community lead-
ers in the south of France.
