Pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic pickets distributed circulars denouncing “Jewish Kosher Conservatives” near Madison Square Garden here last night, while inside the large auditorium a large rally of right-wing adherents numbering 18,000, hailed Senator Barry Goldwater, of Arizona, as a possible Republican candidate for the Presidency in 1964.

Senator Goldwater addressing the rally, condemned the propaganda spread by the anti-Semitic pickets. He told the meeting:

“Nazi party pickets are passing out notices for a meeting at which people can learn why all major Jewish groups fear and hate resurgence of American patriotism. Let me say, as a man who is half-Jewish, I resent that. I don’t remember ever having known a Jew who wasn’t a patriot.”
