Rockwell Faces Loss
Of Navy Commission
BY JOHN BARRON
Star stan Writer

The Navy today revealed it
is revoking the reserve COM
mission of the self-styled Ar
lington Nazi, George Lincoln
Rockwell.
A spokesman at the Penta-
gon said proceedings have
been instituted to terminate
Mr.. Rockwell's reserve commits
sion on the grounds that mis-
mobilization potential has been
reduced to the point where he
is of no further value to the
Nav. ."
Rockwell has been advised of
the action by letter, the spokes-
man said. He declined to elabo-
rate on the letters contents.
Rockwell, who recently ap-
piled for a permit to re-estab-
lish a "Nazi" headquarters in
Arlington, is a commander IN
the Naval Reserve. He was an
aviator during World War II
and the Korean conflict.
Last year, repeatedly after a
dispute with an associate, he
moved from a house in Ar
lington where he had main
tained a So-called American
Nazi headquarters. Anti-Jew-
iSh literature was prepared at
the Rockwell establishment.
The Navy said the Rockwell
case has been under scrutiny
for several months"
The Navy can and does dis
charge those personnel who
have shown they have little or
no value to the service" the
spokesman said.
Such cases as RockWell'S do
not arise frequently, but they
have occurred in the past"
The spokesman pointed out
that as an inactive Reservist

Acting Assistant Attorney
General Joseph M. F. Ryan,

requested the investigation. He
said it was based on complaints
from two sources.

operation.
State Process Asked
/ However, County Manager
NJ. L. Reese declared:
II feel we should exhaust
all State legal proceedings be-
fore the Federal Government
comes in. This case was tried
in Peoples Court, the lowest
court in Montgomery County.
IF there are any inequities
in it, it should go to the Cir
cult Court and then to the
Court of Appeals. These courts
are obligated to carry out the
statutes when warranted"
Smith, 18, claimed he was
beaten by the four police off,
GERS as he was being led away
from a courtroom where a
melee had followed his half
brothers conviction for rape.
For his part in the courtroom
fracas Smith was tried last
Monday and sentenced by Peo-
Piles Court Judge John B.
Diamond to three years in the
House Of Correction. Thc judge
told Smith that your youth is
the only factor in prompting
the court to suspend two years
of your sentence, but if you get
into any further trouble those
two years must be served" E"
/ Judge Diamond also heard
the case against the four po-
| licemen accused Of assaulting
Smith on a stairway to the jail,
, The judge directed a verdict Of
not guilty because, he said, the
State had not proved its case
against the officers. He said
that the men had every
right to use force to subdue
a dangerous man"
Smith had been arrested
after hitting Sergt. Frank
Griggs at the rape trial Of
Smiths halfbrother. Gordon
L. Contee. Smith claimed he
was beaten with nightsticks and
fists as he was led to the Jail
on the top floor Of the court
house.
Four Stitches Taken
County police admitted four
stitches were taken in Smiths
scalp on December II, the night
after he was arrested. They
said he was hit while being
subdued when he resisted en-
tering the jail.
The four acquitted by Judge
Diamond were Sergt. GriggS,
Sergt. John Bachtel. Sergt.
Cornelius DeVries and Deputy
Sheriff Ralph Offutt.
States Attorney Leonard I.
Hardy said he arranged to have
transcripts taken at the trials
Of both Smith and the four
policemen-an unusual proce-
dure in Peoples Court-because
OF the kind OF case it was.
The two trials were prose-
cuted by the same assistant
States attorney, Harper M.
Smith.
Mr.. Hardy said there was
nothing unusual about the same
judge and prosecutor handling
cases involving cross warrants.
He said Smiths attorney,
James B. Davis, offered to drop
the case against the four Of
ficers if he (Mr. Kardy) would
drop the case against Smith.

1T REMINDS ONE of the
man who had the courage
to say at a high policy-mak-
ing meeting
Gentlemen, don't want
to be an alarmist, but has
any consideration been given
to what we are going to do
if we are in for a long period
of peace?"
This survey already is
turning up some interesting
information about how far
the American will go for rec
reation. Studies already in
dicate that the majority Of
our people do not want to
travel more than 40 miles
for a days recreation. 1t is
suggested that further re-
search may find that people
will travel 80 miles for swim
ming, 100 for fishing and 200
for skiing. Big game hunters
will go to the far corners Of
the earth.
Most of the people live
in the East" said Mr.. Sar-
gent. Most Of the national
parks are in the West. Take
Shenandoah, a nearby ma
tional park. 1t is IS miles
from Washington. Haven't
you ever thought that it
would be nice to stop and
picnic on your way there?
Il am hopeful that farmers
will be able to get some in
come by allowing hunting,
fishing and picknicking on
their farms for a fee.
THE 1860 census is going
to be big help to US. The
Census Bureau will report
On where the people are
and we will report on the
possibility of outdoor recrea-
ton within a short drive

rious about it himself. So

Laurance, one of Gov. Mel

brothers.
Laurance Rockefeller was

executive secretary, a tall
young man named Francis
w Sargent, was.
Mr.. Sargent is A but looks
much younger. He was Com
missioner of Natural Re-
sources of the Common

fore coming here.
The commission consists Of
four Senators, four members
Of the House, and seven
citizens. 1t has an appro-
priation of $85O,OO0 for the
current fiscal year. There
are 80 persons on the stan.
1t is to make a report and
recommendations by Sep
tember /, 1861, and is to go
out of existence within a
year from that date.
The commission is di-
rected to predict the recrea-
ton situation in the United
States in the years 1875 and
1000.
That cheered the Rambler
up no end. Just think, here's
an agency planning a good
time for the American people
in 1876, the bicentenary of
the Declaration of Independ-
ence.

remote. He would have to
live 100 years to see it. But
1916 is only 16 years of. He
might make that.
It's encouraging to find
that during the recent crises
of Quemoy and Matsu and
the dire predictions of Gen.
Taylor and Gavin, the mis-
sile rattling of Khrushchev,
this commission has been
planning something impor-
tant bravely, if not blithely.
