Officials Arrest Peaceful Pickets; Not Nazi Pickets
BY MILTON FBIEDMAN
(Copyright, 1960, Jewish Telegrnphlo Agency, Inc.)
WASHINGTON — The District of> Columbia has arrested pickets who demonstrated peacefully against firms practicing ajitl-Negro dlscrlm.lnatlon. But Nazi pickets, carrying placards urging gassing of Jews, are immune under the local interpreta¬ tion of "free speech."
Clark King, chief prosecutor for the District of Columbia, has vigorously prosecuted pro-Negro pickets. King also has In¬ dicated belief that Jews disturb the peace by objecting to Lin- c61n Rockwell's Nazi Party tirades. But he becomes a fanatical liberal when the potential defendant is a memiber of the Nazi Party.
KING SHOCKED WASHINGTON by ordering a Jew held for trial for annoying "Mr. Bockwell" by "talking loud" while the Nazi leader was making a public anti-Semitic harangue.
A Brandeis graduate, 22-year-oid Larry Selinkln, was bluntly informed he had no right to disagree orally when Rockwell was speaking. King asked Selinkln if he would interrupt if "the Presi¬ dent of tho United States" was making an address. It was the "free speech of Rockwell that police were concerned with pro¬ tecting.
SELINION SOUGHT TO explain that he merely tried to ask a question: "What about Hitler?" He confessed to shouting this question.
Selinkln was surrounded and molested by Rockwell's "storm- troopers." Selinkln Was arrested along with one Nazi. But the Nazi was released immediately, without trial, after forfeiting $10 oollaterlal.
THE ANTI.DEFAMATION LEAGlfE of B'nai Brith termed the silencing and arrest of Selinkln a "gross injustice." There was readiness to prosecute Jews but tolerance of Nazi provoca¬ tions. There was "free speech" for Nazis but not for Jews.
King and the Park Police was charged by the ADL -with "misguided' 'interpretation of their rospon-sibiiites. The ADL stand against the licentious abuse of "free speech" principles is rejected by another communal group. The District police, several months ago, actually heotographed an order to arrest Nazi agi¬ tators for disorderly conduct. Hearing of this, the communal group rushed to District authorities and managed, at the last moment, to prevent issuance of the orders. It was feared that Nazi "free speech" might be jeopardized.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE body said "it would be a bad bargain to secure the arrest of a crackpot like Rockwell at the

Stephen Levitt
STEPHEN LEVITT IS TEENAGER OF YEAR
Stephen Levitt, son ot Mr .and Mrs. Burton Levitt, 104 S. Stan¬ wood Rd., was named "Teenager of the Year" at the Teen Age Council (TAC) Honors Dinner heid at the (Columbus Jewish Center on Saturday evening, June 18.
The award, which was given for the first time, was voted by mem¬ bers of TAC representing over 450 members of the 10 Columbus Jewiah Youth Organizations.
LEVITT, tho recipient, served as president of United Synagogue Youth of Temple Tifereth Israel, and as president of Kappa Tau Zota fraternity. He served as co- chairman of the Central Region USY spring board meeting, and represented USY at all national and regional  conventions.
Under bis leadership in both the Youth group and the frater¬ nity, standards were raised in program content and activities. Active as well in community af¬ fairs, Levitt served as chairman of the Polio Fund's Youth Drive. He was recognized last December as tho Citizen-Journal's Teenager ot the Week.
HE GRADUATED this June from Bexley High School and will attend Ohio State University, Col¬ lege of (^mmerce and Adminis¬ tration in the fall.
His grandparents aro Mr. and Mrs. Ben F. Levinson, 155 S. Roosevelt Ave., and Mr .and Mrs. L. H. Levitt of Cleveland, O.
tine delegation, refused to specify what "reparation" his govern¬ ment would consider "adequate." He had been asked the question, first by Israel Foreign Minister Golda Meir then, forcefully, by Arkady A. Sobolev, head of the Soviet  Union's  delegation.
THE   FORMULA,   worked   out
by the United States, provided for a mild censure of Israel for seiz¬ ing Eichmann bi Buenos Aires, acceptance of Israel's apology for violating Argentine sovereignty and a strong suggestion that the two countries proceed to work out their differences on the Issue directly.
The formula was embodied in a resolution approved by a vote ot eight to nothing. Russia and Po¬ land abstained on the ground that a vote for the resolution might be interpreted as a vote in favor of an order to Israel to return Eich¬ mann to Argentina. Argentina, as a party to the dispute, disqualified itself from voting. All of the countries which voted for the resolution made it clear that they wore not asking Israel to return Eichmann.
THE RESOLUTION declared that the transfer of Eichmann "constitutes a violation of the sovereignty"  of Argentina.
On behalf of tlie United States Government, Ambassador Henry (I^bot Lodge had told the (Council that Washington would consider Israel's apology, already voiced in
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JTA)—Argentine President Arturo Frondizi was reported to have said at Brussels, Belgium, that he does not consider an Israeli apology sufficient "reparation" for the "illicit and clandestine" transfer ot Nazi killer Adolf Eichmann from Argen¬ tine territory to Israeli soil.
When the Security Council adopted the resolution proposed by Argentina, calling for "adequate reparation" from Israel, Dr. Mario Amadeo, chairman of the Argen
the (^uncil by Mrs. Meir, as "ade- quate." Adoption of the resolution itself, "taken together" with Mrs Melr's apology for Israel's viola tion of Argentine sovereignty in the abduction of Eichmann, should close the case, Lodge said.
THE BRUSSEtS statement by Frondizi left doubts as to what further steps, if any, were con¬ templated by the Argentine Gov¬ ernment. There was certainty that the previously scheduled meeting in Europe, between Fron¬ dizi and Israel's Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, would not be held
(Ben-Gurlon and his official party left Schiphol Airport, Am¬ sterdam, for Lydda, Israel, ac¬ cording to a Jewish Telegraphic Agency dispatch from The Hague. Ben-Gurlon had spent an extra day at the Dutch capital, "for private reasons." There were re¬ ports, however, that his stay in The Netherlands had been pro¬ longed bl the expectation that Frondizi might invite him to a meeting at Brussels.)
DR. AMADEO had told the Council, at one point In the debate on his anti-Israel resolution, that his government demanded not only the return of Eichmann, but also the punishment of those who captured the Nazi without per¬ mission from the Argentine (3ov- ermnent. However, the Buenos Aires representative did not re¬ peat    this    interpretation    when
