At a meeting of the NSRP in June, 1964, in Selma, Alabama, one of the speakers urged those in attendance to buy guns and "all the ammunition you can.'t "When you have to use the guns," he said, "don't use the butts of them, but have the barrels blazing."

In October, 1958, the Reform Jewish Temple at Atlanta, Georgia, was bombed. Five men, identified py the Atlanta police as allied with the Georgia branch of the NSRP, were indicted by a erand jury in connection with the bombing.
