The six anti-Nazis who were arrested in the rioting following the Madison Square Garden DAWA meeting last Thursday were disappointed yesterday when Magistrate Guy van Amring in West Side Court postponed the case to June 2.
Joseph Tauber of the International Labor Defense, who, with Louis Fleischer of the I.L.D. and Irwin Nussbaum of the Socialist Lawyers’ Association, is defending five of the defendants, protested.
The five, who are charged with disorderly conduct, are: George Mehling, 2176 Amsterdam avenue; Robert Peter, 2176 Forty-third street, Astoria; Phil Papas, 521 West 130th street; Bernard Nagin, 1916 East Seventy-first street, Brooklyn, and Sam Levit, 35 East Nineteenth street.
