Three men accused by police of being members o Nazi groups were arrested in The Bronx this morning in front of a hamburger stand which has been the scene of anti-racist demonstrations. They were charged with having a truckload of arms and ammunition. Police identified the men as Edward Cassidy, 18; Paul Joachin, 35; and John Corrigan, 20.
According to Morris Weintraub, assistant District Attorney in The Bronx, Cassidy had cards showing he was a major in the Renaissance Party, as well as in the American Nazi Party. The truck, said Mr. Weintraub, contained a rifle, revolvers, shotguns, bullets and a tear-gas gun. All three were charged with violating the Sullivan Law, a state law forbidding the possession of deadly weapons, inciting to riot and “anarchy.”
