A member of the American Nazi Party who was discharged from the United States Marine Corps following intervention by the Jewish War Veterans of the U. S., today filed suit in U. S. District Court against both the JWV and the Marine Corps.

John Patler, who recently changed his name from Patsalas, charged the JWV with conspiring to deprive him of his status as a U. S. marine. He asked $1,575.50 in back salary and $500,000 for being “publicly humiliated.”
