Following his arrest and discharge from Yorkville Court after the clash between police and anti-Nazi demonstrators at Eighty-sixth Street and Second Avenue on May 10, Louis Glicksman, 26, of 940 Tinton Avenue, the Bronx, denied press reports that he is a Communist.
“I am an English Hebrew,” he stated, “also a Zionist and a late active member of the Maccabeans in England. Most of the New York newspapers referred to me as a Communist, a label which I resent.”
Mr. Glicksman was arraigned a week ago Friday and held on $500 bail, which was later reduced to $25 and was supplied by a member of his family. He insisted he was merely a spectator when he was arrested on a charge that he failed to obey a policeman’s order to move on. On May 16 he was found not guilty and was discharged.
