Georgia 30328 (404) 252-7222 or (800) 241-5284 Three Marines discharged for joining neo-Nazi rallies NEW YORK (JTA)—Three United States Marines at Camp Lejeune have been discharged for participating in paramilitary exer cises and rallies in North Carolina staged by a violence-prone, neo- Nazi group, it was disclosed by the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith. The action followed a letter of inquiry to U.S. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger by ADL nation al director Nathan Perlmutter. The ADL. said it had been in formed by the defense secretary that the three have been dismissed from the corps following initial reports that they were “involved in activities of the White Patriot Party,” formerly known as the Con federate Knights of Ku Klux Klan. An investigation into “allegations of misconduct” is still continuing, Weinberger told the ADL. The Defense Department is seeking to determine whether other Marines were involved in White Patriot activities in North Carolina and if they had any connection with the Party’s paramilitary activities. Perlmutter, a former Marine, commended the Defense Depart ment for “its swift and decisive action to prevent the Marine Corps mission to defend the freedom of all Americans from being tar nished.” In his letter to the ADL, Wein berger declared that the Defense Department “deplores the violence and bigotry of the Ku Klux Klan and organizations like it." He added: “The Department of Defense is committed to the equality of treatment to all personnel, regard less of race, sex, national origin or religion. In our view, prejudice and intolerance are incompatible with accomplishment of our military mission.” Perlmutter said the ADL had been told by the Defense Depart ment that, under its current policy, military personnel can be dis charged for participating in the fol- lowing activities of extremist groups: marching in a parade, making public speeches in support of racial discrimination, becoming involved in their management or organization or helping to recruit membership. For the best prices in buying or leasing a Domestic or Foreign car call JERRY KRAFT of ROSWELL LEASING, INC. “Get your best price then call 881-0763 I can beat your best price.” An official of the legal office of the assistant secretary of Defense for Force, Management and Per sonnel, told the ADL the Defense Department is reviewing policy to determine whether current regula tions regarding participation in hate group activities are “complete and adequate.” In his inquiry to the Defense Department, Perlmutter pointed out that the leader of the White Patriot Party, F. Glenn Miller, had publicly threatened armed revolu tion against American elected offi cials. “Particularly troublesome,” the ADL official wrote, “is the possib- lity that U.S. Marines could be providing this gang with weapons or explosives to which they have access.” Perlmutter said the ADL had learned that former California Klan leader Tom Metzger recently had written to San Diego-based U.S. military commanders inviting them to join the “The White American Political Association.” The com manding officer of the San Diego naval base informed the ADL that those military commanders solicited by Metzger have been directed not to respond to him. The Navy in 1979, the ADL offi cial noted, took steps to prevent the Klan from recruiting sailors in the Norfolk, Va., area. It trans ferred a sailor involved in organiz ing a Klan rally and declared the rally off-limits to Navy and Marine personnel. Chief of Naval Opera tions Admiral Thomas Hayward issued an order at that time stating that “prejudice and preparedness are incompatible.” MAC BARBER When Mac Barber was on The Public Service Commission, he voted against more high utility rate hikes than any other commissioner.
