Police here today charged seven young Nazis, all teen-aged high school boys, with possession of anti-Semitic material “detrimental to public interest,” and with juvenile delinquency. The boys have been lodged in jail pending a juvenile court hearing.
The sheriff’s office said the boys were a cadre for the organization and training of Nazi youth organization dedicated to elimination of Jews and Negroes. Led by a 16-year-old fuehrer who wore German Nazi military tunic, the boys met secretly and wore Nazi armbands. FBI agents have entered the investigation.
(In Dayton, Ohio, police are searching for a 15-year-old boy organizer of a Nazi anti-Semitic movement among high school youths there, who was listed as a runaway after leaving home to go “underground.” The youth, described by authorities as far above normal intelligence, left instructions for a Nazi program to be pursued by his followers in his absence. Police said the boy has a police record for arson.)
