A Latvian national, who turned loose 10 mice at a meeting of the National Committee Against Nazism and Nazi Criminals last month was fined $100 when she was found guilty of trying to break up the meeting.

Mrs. Dagmara Vallens, 34, also received a stern lecture from the judge on the need to respect the American tradition of free speech and assembly. She told the court that she had never taken out citizenship papers because she was waiting for Latvia “to be free.”
