Four admitted members of the American Nazi Party were convicted today on charges of distributing hate literature and two went to jail when they refused to pay $10 fines.

David France, 23, and Lyn Giesy, 29, paid the fines under a 1945 city ordinance which bans literature or signs exposing racial or religious groups to hatred. John Patier, 25, and Roy Frankhauser, 24, received the jail terms.
