Anti-nazi Duo to Be Tried at Gates Av. Court

Rudolph Jurkowich and Louis Meyer, the latter a member of the National Blue Men, will face charges of disorderly conduct this Friday at the Gates Avenue Magistrates’ Court, arising from the rioting at the celebration of Hitler’s birthday by Nazis at Schwaben Hall, Brooklyn, last Friday night.

Jurkowich, who lives at 809-A Gretne avenue, and Meyer, who resides at 192 Utica avenue, Brooklyn, were arraigned before Magistrate David L. Malbin in the Gates Avenue Magistrate’s Court last Saturday and were paroled until this Friday. Alderman Walter R. Hart, Blue Men attorney, is representing Meyer.

Tonight the Blue Men will hold a rally at Empire Manor, 70 That-ford avenue, Brooklyn, where a refugee from a German concentration camp will describe his experiences. Other speakers will include Magistrate O’Dwyer, Municipal Court Justice Jacob S. Strahl, Ben Lazare, National Blue Men commander, and Phil Cook, counsel to Lazare.

COMMUNISTS JOIN MELEE

Five hundred Blue Men attempted to invade Schwaben Hall last Friday night in protest against the celebration of Hitler’s birthday. Kept out by police, they waylaid the celebrants as they emerged after the meeting. A free-for-all ensued and the seventy police commanded by Deputy Inspector Neidig were helpless as Communists who had been holding an open air meeting a block away joined in the street fighting.

Amid flying sticks and stones, Meyer and Jurkowich, who were injured in the fighting, were arrested. Three persons, were arrested. Three persons, including these two, were treated by a doctor from the Wyckoff Heights Hospital who had set up an emergency hospital. Many sustained minor injuries, such as bruises and black eyes, but did not apply for treatment.
