A Swastika-adorned flyer demanding that President Richard M. Nixon “cancel all weapons shipment to the Jews…to kill more Arab children” was handed out at a Students for a Democratic Society rally here recently. It carried the name of the National Socialist White People’s Party, of Arlington, Va., successor to the defunct American Nazi Party of the late George Lincoln Rockwell. The crude handbill carried the headline. “Stop the slaughter, end Jewish aggression in the Middle East now.” It contained a picture purported to be of an Arab father weeping over his child slain by Jews and warned that “every day that we support the Jews, we drive the Arabs deeper into the arms of the Soviets.”
