Eight men were arrested here yesterday on a variety of charges following a clash between 30 members of the Communist party of Canada, a Maoist group, who demonstrated at city hall against “Zionist criminals” and King Hussein of Jordan. One member waved a claw hammer during a march by the Maoists to the nearby United States consulate. At the same time, John Beattie, self-proclaimed Canadian Neo-Nazi leader, denounced Zionism in a speech at Allen Park, attended by an audience of 75, including a number of newsmen. Because of a recently-adopted Canadian anti-bigotry law, the neo-Nazi omitted his customary attacks on “international Jewry” and confined his denunciations to Zionism.
