George L. Rockwell, a Washington area anti-Semitic agitator linked with a suspect in the bombing last October of the Jewish Temple in Atlanta, Ga., was found today to have communicated this month by mail with President Nasser of the United Arab Republic.
Rockwell had participated in anti-Jewish demonstrations that included picketing of the White House and simultaneous picketing in Atlanta.
It was previously revealed that Rockwell received financial support from wealthy Harold N. Arrowsmith, Jr., of Baltimore. According to information that emerged here today, Arrowsmith may now be in contact with Salen Bader, head of the so-called ‘Arab-Asian Institute”, an anti-Israel propaganda front.
It was reported that photographs of anti-Jewish picketing operations, in which Rockwell figured have been forwarded to Cairo, arid Rockwell’s photo, with flattering captions, has appeared in Cairo newspapers.
