MEDFORD MAIL IriiBUMc:. MbDFOHO. OKtiUON MONDAY. JULY 30, 1962 mall But Noisy Factions Keep Politics of Hate Alive in Britain London - iRH - The politics of hate are alive in Britain today - fed by tiny groups with little chance of popular appeal but capable of making lots ot noise. Jews, Negroes and Commu nists are the chief targets of these extremist rightwing po litical parties noisily vying for attention. The extremists march, wear uniforms' and frequently talk in a manner that recalls Adolf Hitler and Benito Mus solini. Some of them heatedly deny the connection. Oiners, like Colin Jordon's national socialist movement, do not. Jordan is a 38-year-old, blond, b 1 u e - e y e d school teacher at Coventry. H i s speeches preach "racial pur ity" and his July 1 Trafalgar Square Rally, which ended in a riot, had the slogen "Free LET US DO YOUR WORK FAST 2 hour CLEANING NO EXTRA CHARGE ABB GRESSETT S DRIVE-IN CLEANERS '02 W. Main, 611', E. Jackson Gateway Shopping Center, Ashland Britain from Jewist Control.") British law forbids political I uniforms on the street. But in their spartan headquarters, Jordan's followers wear black shirts, jack boots and a "sun wheel" emblem which they claim is as old and as "Ar yan" as Hitler's swastika. Day of Awakening Hitler talked of "dcr tag" (the day). Jordan talks of his own der tag - the day when unemployment and hard times gives him his chance in "the day of awakening . . . for the British people." The National Socialists revere the memory of Arnold Leese, the late British Fascist who himself revered Adolf Hitler and who called Sir Oswald Mosley a "kosher Fascist." Mosley is the best known figure in Britain's extremist rightwing political stage. Be fore World War II, Mosley s black shirts fought street bat-1 ties with the Jews of Lon don's Whilechapel area. Mos ley stood at Mussolini's side at a Roman Fascist parade. Britain kept him in the Tower of London during much of World War II. It has been a strange career for the man who was once considered the darling of Britain's Conserva tive and Labor parties. A World War I hero, Mos ley shot to success as a rising Conservative party member of Parliament whose few crit ics included the then almost unheeded voice of Winston Churchill. Apparently feeling stifled by Tory traditionalism, Mosley shocked the Tories (many considered him a future prime minister) by switching to the Labor party. He was a M' V ft 1. RUSSIAN ADVERTISEMENT - The San Francisco News-Call Bulletin has btco ne the third American newspaper selected by the Russian government to carry two paues of precedent-shattering advertisements. The ads are the text of a "propaganda message" from Russion Premier Nikita Khrushchev. In a front page box the paper called at tention to the facts and marked each column of the text "paid advertisement." Here Deb bie Lane interrupts her work at the office . of United Press International to read the ad. (UPI) Four Appear in Local Circuit Court - t? - C 4 f i. If i I hf member of a Labor govern ment cabinet when he lquit and in 1932 moved to the far, far right. He called for "ac tion." A Good Orator Mosley is a good orator. Wealthy and handsome at 65, he can be charming in pri vate. He now admits a few mistakes. "My quarrel with the Jews arose from the fact they were trying to drag us into a war with Germany," he said. But Mosley today talks not of Jews. His union movement preaches a federated Europe free of tics with Washington. Of Negroes. Mosiey says "I don't want to peisecute the colored people. All I say is. send them back to their home land," Mosley said. Mosley blames Communist trouble-makers for the rioting that ended his July 22 Trafal gar Square rally. Many ob servers agree. But there is little sympathy for Mosley, whose candidates for offices -usually in voting areas where racial tension is felt -draw at best only tiny frac tions of the poll. Andrew Fountaine, a 44-year-old gentleman farmer, heads the third major ex tremist organization-the Brit- isn National pany. LniiKe Jordan, Fountaine has his group seek elected office -with as little luck as Mosley's candidates. Fountaine claims his pro gram to save Britain from eco nomic and racial woes is blocked by a hostile "Zionist" press. Like Mosley, he dis owns violence. He drummed out of the party a teen-ager who was caught by police with a bomb in his pocket. Says Membership Tiny Fountaine would have col ored people shipped home from Britain and would like to have a Britain in which Jews would prefer not to live. Harvey LeRoy Sherman, 29, and Frank Sherman, 27, both Coos Bay, pleaded guilty in Jackson county circuit court last week to charges of burglary in a dwelling. They were arrested by Ore gon state police in connection with the entry of five cabins in the Union Creek area. The cases of both men were continued by Judge James M. Main for sentencing. Frederick Michael Wool dridge, 21. of 15 Stewart ave., also appeared for probation revocation. His case was con tinued for sentencing. Wool dridge was placed on proba tion for five years July 11 for Fountaine. like Jordan and Mosley, refuses to say how many followers he has-and observers say membership is tiny. The three groups feud with each other with as much zest as they leap onto such political sore spots as racial unrest. The major political parlies openly despise them but de fend their rights to free speech. None of the three ex tremist groups has political power. They grab attention only through trouble - fights with police in Trafalgar Square, barrages of rotlen to matoes, stalled traffic. They attract few voters. But the fact that they exist al all - despite the lessons of Naziism and its world war does attract concern. obtaining property by false pretenses. The fourth person to ap pear was Geraldine Faye Driskell, 20, of 234 'a M'tn zanita St., Central Point, who received a suspended sentence and was placed on probation for three years. She was charged with burglary not in a dwelling and ordered to make restitution. Court Records ASlll. AN II Ml'MCIPAI. I'ol'HT Cml C.
