The Rumanian Legation here has been headed only by a Charge D’Affaires. The Bucharest Government has displayed a more independent attitude on Israel than other East European capitals also in other ways. One recent example , was shown by Rumania in the United Nations, where its dele gate abstained from an anti- Israel resolution which was sup ported by other members of the Communist bloc., • . • ■ I » i Over SO yi-.irs of Business Inti »:nty GHAS. N. WALKER ROOFING CO. 180 DATS AMERICAN NAZI SENTENCED IN WASHINGTON - WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The most severe sentence yet imposed on a member of the American Nazi Party in the District of Columbia was imposed on “stormtrooper” Robert E. Bruce, 20, who was sentenced to 180 days in jail for disrupting a session of the U. S. House of Representatives last Sept. 24. Bruce was also or dered held for grand jury action for assaulting a police officer dur ing the disturbance. General Sessions Court Judge George B. Nelson sentenced Bruce on two disorderly conduct counts for throwing a swastika flag and racist pamphlets from the visitor’s gallery at the Capital building to the House floor and shouting slogans sup porting George Rockwell. Judge Harold H. Greene ordered Bruce held on $10,000 bond on the charge of assaulting a police officer attempting to arrest him. The severe sentence followed expressions by Members of Con gress who were angered when Nazis previously disrupted Con gressional proceedings but were freed upon forefeiture of merely $10 or $20 in collateral. District authorities had apparently em barked on stricter policy of prosecution for offenses involv ing meetings of Congress when the Bruce incident took place. AJC Protests Sale Of Seized Nazi Items X4M ACTION DANCING LaBRANCH WASHINGTON (JTA) — The American Jewish Committee has raised the issue of a contemplated auction of Nazi paraphernalia by the United States Internal Rev enue Service, and indicated that, under constitutipnal considera tions, the Government might either destroy the Nazis' goods, giving the Nazi Party a "fair value” tax credit, or return the items to George Lincoln Rock well. An IRS auction of the Nazi Party property has been tempor arily deferred because of Rock well’s pending hearing in which he is appealing for an injunction, and owing to a complaint by Sen. Clifford P. Case, New Jersey Re publican. Sen. Case said that sale by the Government of such items as swastikas and hate literature, seized to meet unpaid taxes, would put Federal authorities “in the position of purveying for profit the same stock-in-trade as the American Nazi Party.” Sanford H. .Bolz, Washington counsel of the American Jewish Committee, said his group agreed with Sen. Case but “we would go further.” He said he has conveyed to IRS Commissioner Sheldon Cohen the view of his organiza tion that it is one thing for Rock well to circulate and sell hate literature, swastikas, and so forth —“but quite another matter for the Government of the United States to become a party to the sale to satisfy a tax lien or for any other purpose." Mr. Bolz said: It is entirely likely that such action by the Government to sell or distribute racist material is unconstitutional Government action, forbidden by the Fifth Amendment. Surely a Government like ours, which is dedicated to equality and to elim ination of all forms of discrim ination and prejudice’ from our national life, should never become a party to the circulation or pur veying of racist material, litera ture, or mailing lists designed for their distribution to willing and eager recipients, for the raising of funds or any other reason. He stressed that “if the Govern ment cannot and should not sell this material, it should destroy it in the same way as it would other contraband material it would not wish to purvey or distribute in the channels of trade or com merce. But in deference to First Amendment rights which Rock well may have to possess and use such material, the Internal Revenue Service should give him an appropriate credit against his tax in the amount of the fair value of such items, without placing them on public auction and selling them to others. There are procedures which the Serv ice might use to achieve this res ult. If, for any reason, this could not be done, then the Service should return the material to Rockwell, rather than to sell it to others. This is a dirty business. and the Government tbould no part of it” Mr. Bolz added that “we are starting down a dangerous road, indeed, if the Government la par- mitted to purvey racist material on the excuse that it is merely raising money, rather than pro moting racism.” He said he had stated these views to the IRS commissioner, and “sine e r e 1 y trust” they will be adopted.

Announce ment of the joint action was made here by Dr. Samuel Krohn, pres ident of the JCC; the Most Rev. John F. Dearden, Catholic Arch bishop of Detroit; Dr. Joseph L. Roberts, president of the Metro politan Detroit Council of Eas tern Orthodox Churches. The Project Equality program was launched several months ago by the Catholic archdioceses of St. Louis, Detroit, San Antonio and Hartford, Conn., and called on all religious groupings in the United States to join a common effort to end discriminatory em ployment practices and to re quire similar agreements from their suppliers of goods and serv ices. But Detroit is the first city where this plan has matured tow- Haboker Newspaper Closes; May Merge With Herut Organ TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Haboker, one of Israel’s oldest daily news papers and organ of the Liberal party, sent dismissal notices last week to all employes effective January 1 when the paper was to haft publication. It may merge with “Herut,” the publication of the Herut party. Both parties have small circu lations and huge deficits which have been covered by the two political parties which formed an alignment called Gahal for the November 2 municipal and Par liamentary elections. The Herut paper also sent dismissal notices to its staff members. The merger may presage closer ties between the two parties, observers said. A number of Liberal party mem bers declined to participate in the merger and ran an Independent Liberal slate in the elections. ard unified action. Control of the interfaith pro gram will be vested in a 12-man board of directors, three appoint ed by each faith. John H. Shephard, of the Jewish Com munity Council, was named legal advisor. Dr. Krohn said that the Jewish Community Council was very pleased to join with the archdi ocese as a founding member. He noted that, since its establish ment almost 30 years ago, the Jewish Community Council had been “deeply committed to the effort to achieve equal rights and opportunities for all men, and to eliminate all traces of discrim ination based on religion, race or national origin.’’ • Fashion conscious men m and women visit .
