A uniformed squad of George Lincoln Rockwell’s neo-Nazi brownshirts, wearing swastika armbands, picketed the White House yesterday bearing placards urging gassing of Jews.
The placards read: “Eichmann did not kill any innocent Jews”; “Ike, help free Eichmann”; “Panish the Jew International Bandits”; “It’s No Crime to Kill Jew Communist Traitors; We Killed the Rosenbergs”; “If the Jews Can Kidnap Eichmann, They Can Kidnap You. “
Police today arrested two supporters of Lincoln Rockwell’s neo-Nazi group on charges of disorderly conduct at a Nazi rally near the U.S. National Archives Building. One of the men arrested participated yesterday in the picketing of the White House at which time he wore a brown shirt uniform and swastika armband. Rockwell’s meeting today ended in confusion as several non-Jews heckled the neo-Nazi leader.
