The 51 year-old head of the New Swedish Movement denied strongly today that the movement was an international anti-Semitic organization despite the presence of numerous ex-Nazis and former Fascists in the organization.
Dr. Per Engdahl, political science specialist, said that there was no truth to such charges appearing in newspapers. He asserted that his group had no connection with the recent worldwide out burst of anti-Semitic incidents. Dr. Engdahl said he had no idea how his name had become linked with anti-Semitic activity and that the board of his movement included a Stockholm Jew.
