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

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

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

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.

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.
