John Kasper, notorious anti-Semite, who was released from Federal prison in Atlanta last week, today announced that he is forming a new national anti-Semitic political party which will attempt to nominate a Presidential candidate.

Kasper said the new party’s objectives would include expulsion of Jews from “any kind of public life. ” The party was described as based on what he called “racial nationalism. ” It would advocate the “colonization of the Negroes to send them to Africa.”

Kasper is visiting in Alabama at the home of retired Admiral John Crommelin, one of his most ardent supporters. He is meeting with leaders of various “White Citizens Councils.”
