On June 18, 1964, an 18-year-old ANP trooper suddenly jumped up from a seat in tle United States Senate Gallery and began waving a Nazi flag and shouting protests against passage of the civil rights legislation. He was removed by Capitol police and taken to a hospital for psychiatric _ observation. a On January 4, 1965, a member of the ANP, wearing black leotards, blackface make-up, a black top hat, and a bandana, ran onto the floor of the United States House of Representatives during a roll call shouting, '"T'se the Mississippi delegation.

He was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. - 29 -
