'Tor the history of America and, in fact, America today is full of ideas that are far more exciting and revolutionary than the systematic, push-button answers of Communist doctrine," he said. "To all these nations I would send groups of men and women to lecture, not just about the United States and our form of government or about democracy generally, but also about history and philosophy and literature and even more practical matters.

A two-month prison term was ordered for Colin Jordan, 39year-old schoolteacher and self-styled "world fuehrer" of the British National Socialist Movement. The "national, secretary" of the movement, John Tyndall, was sentenced to six weeks. Both men were freed on bail of 100 ($280) pending appeal. The formal charge against them was insulting behavior whereby a breach of the peace could have been caused. It concerned an open-air meeting at Trafalgar Square July 1 when a riot resulted in more than 50 arrests.

Remarks Are Quoted Police gave samples of remarks by Jordan and Tyndall which were held calculated to inflame the 5,000 onlookers. Jordan was quoted as saying the influx of colored migrants to Britain was plotted by Jews because "a mongrel population is essential' to the long-term security of their overlordity." Jordan and Tyndall pleaded innocent. Jordan claimed Jewish provocateurs in the Trafalgar Square crowd started the trouble. He claimed he was a victim of attempts to curtail free speech. A.H.C.
