ADL Nationwide Survey Indicates
Continued Growth of Skinheads
A new nationwide survey
of menacing gangs of racist
youths known as Skinheads
indicates continued growth
arid a persistent tendency to
engage in violence, mainly
against racial and religious
minorities.
The survey, conducted by"
the Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai B'rith as a follow-up
to a report it made public
last November, further reveals that there are currently 20-25 racist Skinhead
groups operating in 12 states
with a combined; membership of 1,000-1,500, as opposed to an estimated
membership of several
hundred four months ago.
The new ADL survey,
"The Skinheads — An Update on 'Shaved for Battle,'"
reveals that the .shaven-
headed youths in these
groups—who typically wear
neo-Nazi insignia and preach
hatred of Blacks, Jews and
other minorities—have been
involved in criminal activity
in virtually every city in .
which they operate. Their
activities have included
vandalizing synagogues,
spereading anti-Semitic
graffiti and terrorizing and
attacking individuals.
The League stressed, as it
did in its earlier report, that
there are some Skinheads
who do not preach racism or
adopt the symbols and ideology of Nazi Germany and
these are not included in the
survey.
Irwin Suall, director of
ADL's Fact-Finding Department, said some of the most
serious incidents of recent
Skinhead violence have occurred in California. The
other 11 states where Skinhead gangs are now operating are Arizona, Colorado,
Florida, Illinois, Michigan,
Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Texas and
Washington. The League's
previous report listed eight
states — California, Colorado, Florida/Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio, Oregon and
Texas.
— In California, there
have been several cases of
Skinheads assaulting and
terrorizing Hispanics. In Los .
Angeles, Skinhead member
Philip Rowe is in jail awaiting trial on charges of attempted murder. He is accused of slitting the throat of
a young Hispanic woman.
— In the San Fernando
Valley, Michael Martin, 18,
leader of a group known as
"Reich Skins," is awaiting
trial along with a juvenile
gang member (no names released on juveniles) on
charges of terrorizing an
.Hispanic fam}ly„and flashing *
an automatic pistol at them,
the "Reich Skins" cooperate
with the White Aryan Resistance, a hard core hate
group led by Tom Metzger of
Fallbrook, CA.
—. Also in the San
Fernando Valley area, gang
members Robert Renney,
26, Peter McGurk, 18, and a
juvenile were arrested after
swerving their car at a group
of Hispanics. Renney was
sentenced to six months in
jail and three years probation as the result of the incident. Charges are pending
against McGurk.
—In San Diego, Skinheads
Michael J. Marin, 18, and two
juveniles are awaiting trial
in connection with an attack
on eight Vietnamese individuals. In a separate incident,
Chuck Leek, 20, and Frank
Tokash, 18, are awaiting
trial on charges arising from
an attack on an Hispanic
man and his woman companion.
—In the Orlando, FLarea,
Russell Penrose, identified
as a leader of a Skinhead
group, has been convicted
for battery and robbery and
other Skinheads have been
arrested on weapons,
charges. In addition, eight
Skinheads appeared at a "recent KKK rally.

David Margolis, Julius Margulies
To Co-Chair Israel Bonds Group
Dr. Norman Shub, 1988
chairman, Central Ohio
State of Israel Bonds, announced that David Margolis, president of the Margolis
Company, and Julius Margulies will co-chair the
Corporate Division of the
1988 Israel Bonds campaign.
"David, long active in real
estate development, is looking forward to developing a
program for the increased
awareness of the Israeli
securities available for
investment by the corporate
sector," said Dr. Shub.
"Julius brings to the
campaign his,fine business
sense and a dedication to Israel that is a model for all of
us to follow."
"Our goal is to make the
Central Ohio business community aware of the prudent
investment that Israel Bonds
are and the benefits they
generate especially in corporate qualified plans," according to Margolis.
"The business community
is well aware of Israel's
.stategic. importance: :tb! the.:.
United States. Our task is to
show Ohio firms that an
investment in Israel's economic independence is doubly
good for the investor," he
added.
"We are hopeful that our
team of Margolis and
Margulies will be as successful in securities sales as
M&M's are in candy sales,"
quipped Dr. Shub.
The Israel Bond Organization is a major source of
development capital for Israel having provided over
$8.5 billion since its inception
to help build every aspect of
the nation's economy. Israel
Bonds' proceeds channeled
through Israel's Development Budget, help to finance
industrial and agriculture
projects, the construction of
highways' and harbors, the
