Three admitted members of the American Nazi Party today were fined $200 each, with the alternative of 40 days in jail, on charges of disturbing the peace in connection with racist agitation.
The three were Walter E. Gould, 20; Frederick E. Harry, 23; and Robert Giles, 20; Gould and Harry said they live in the Nazi headquarters here, while Giles gave an address in Artesia, Calif.
They informed Municipal Judge Kenneth A. White they would appeal the sentences. Bond was set at $550 for each of the men. The case arose from a disturbance caused at a supermarket here by the Nazis last May.
