Police investigating the Feb. 3 bombing of a synagogue revealed today the existence of a secret terrorist organization known as the “Black Front,” an affiliate of Capt. Ferenc Szalasi’s Hungarist Nazi Party. The police said that a group of eight young members of the organization met two days before the bombing at the Green House of the Hungarian Nazis and were instructed in every detail of the bombing. Trial of five members of the organization, whose arrest was announced yesterday, will be held soon.
