PLANDOME, N.Y., Sept. 2 (AP) — A member of a white supremacist group and a teenager have been arrested and accused of scrawling swastikas and other anti-Semitic graffiti on the side of a synagogue here and on a school bus, an elementary school and a house in nearby towns on Long Island, the Nassau County police said on Sunday.

Swastikas and Jewish slurs scrawled in red spray paint were found Saturday on the Reconstructionist Synagogue of the North Shore, on a school bus parked at Roslyn High School and on a Roslyn Estates home, the police said. Graffiti also was found at an elementary school in Manhasset.

The police on Saturday arrested John Rocissano, 20, and a 17-year-old in connection with all four crimes. Mr. Rocissano, of Manhasset, and the teenager, of Floral Park, were to be arraigned Sunday on several counts of aggravated harassment and criminal mischief.
