300 Members In Britain (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) LONDON. Nov. 18. A Nazi youth movement with 300 members was operating in Britain, the “Sunday Telegraph” said today. Its leader —a 16-year-old Leicestershire grammar school boy—had been appointed by the leader of the “World Union of National Socialists.” Colin Jordan. Jordan was now serving nine months’ gaol for a breach of the Public Order Act.

The newspaper said the youth movement—known as the British National Youth—was the junior section of Jordan’s Nazi party. It was for children aged II to 16 and had 12 girls among its members.

The boys wore a uniform of brown shirt, black scarf and black shorts or trousers, like the Hitler Youth. They held regular meetings in homes and halls and listened to anti-Jewish lectures and Nazi battle songs. At some of the meetings the boys heard recorded speeches by Jordan and the American Nazi leader, George Lincoln Rockwell. The youth leader, who asked to remain anonymous, told the newspaper: “About a third of the prefects at my school last year were Nazi supporters ” He said the German Nazis had “weeded nu’ the scum of Europe ”
