He has also offered ad- vice on getting racist material past possible censors. One of Miles' prison mail- ings was a tract called "The Secret Army," which the ADL described as a "thinly disguised account of the Order," the violent offshoot of the Aryan Nations. The FBI has been tracking the group, particularly since the 1984 death of its founder, Robert Jay Mathews, in a dramatic gunbattle with the law on an island in Puget Sound. Reportedly following a blue- print for revolution provided by The Turner Diaries, a novel by neo-Nazi William Pierce, the Order has blazed a trail of violent crimes in- cluding those which led to the April indictments. Four of its members, already in prison, were indicted for sedition at the same time as Miles. Miles has denied involve- ment in terrorist activities, jokingly dismissing reporters' inquiries before his indict- ment, claiming to be violent only in his passion for the cause, and publicly ad- vocating the power of the pen rather than the sword. Like other movement leaders, he has stressed the importance of indoctrinating the young and has encouraged members to marry and have children, performing multiple mar- riage ceremonies at his Cohoctah church. Federal authorities, however, claim that he is im- plicated in a number of con- spiracies to commit crimes in- cluding armored car robbery. The loot was to be used in a campaign to overthrow the government. ADL spokesmen have ap- plauded the indictments. Government determination to tackle hate group terrorism aggressively and state legisla- tion to prohibit para-military training have, they believe, done much to limit white- power effectiveness. The threat of violence still re- mains, they warn. Hate groups, already able in some states, (though not in Michigan) to communicate by home computer, are making increasing use of modern technology and weaponry, which gives them an effec- tiveness off-setting their small numbers. But charismatic leadership, they point out, is possibly the greatest weapon of all, mak- ing the arrests, particularly of Miles, Butler and Beam, a major setback for the movement. Miles has been released from Fort Smith, Arkansas on $50,000 bond. His trial, in Arkansas, is currently set-for July 6, but will probably be postponed, his wife reports, to allow more time for prepara- tion of his defense. Mean- while, she says, they plan to enjoy a summer on the farm. ❑ B'NAI B'RITH Zeiger Lodge Marks Its 35th Maurice C.
