The recommendation that active Nazi agitators in this city be attired in “the very distinctive blue shirts supplied at the State’s expense at San Quentin” and divested of their brown shirt uniforms, is made in an editorial denouncing the “Bund des Freund des Neue Deutschland,” pro-Hitler organization, published in the Los Angeles Examiner.
