Investigation by immigration authorities of the exploitation of an American-visa by Nicolas Eichmann, son of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, to spread anti-Semitic propaganda in the United States, has been asked by National Commander I. L. Feuer of the Jewish War Veterans.
In a letter to Secretary of State Dean Rusk revealed today, Mr. Feuer said it was a “breach of American hospitality for a visitor to-impugn the loyalty of any group of American citizens or to inject the poison of Nazi anti-Jewishness, thus taking advantage of his hosts. “
Mr. Feuer made a point that pro-Nazi propaganda facilitated by the visa given Nicolas Eichmann might injure American relations with NATO nations that suffered under nazism and might also offend Israel; He said “Our nation is currently beset with native racist agitators. Why should we import more agitators from abroad?”
