Turn back 30
Nazis at Touhy
By ROBERT FEDER
Correspondent
SKOKIE- Thirty American Nazis were turned
back by Skokie police Saturday, April 30, moments before they were to have staged a rally on the steps of
village hall.
The members of the National Socialist Party of
America, dressed in full Nazi uniform including swastika armbands and high black boots, were halted while
exiting the Edens expressway at Touhy avenue and notified that a court order signed two hours earlier
banned their planned demonstration.
The injunction was hastily drafted Saturday morning by village attorneys and signed by Circuit Court
Judge Harold Sullivan in his Skokie home.
Circuit Court Judge Joseph Wosik Thursday, April
28, issued a similar order banning the demonstration
originally set for Sunday, May 1. The Illinois Appellate
court upheld Wosik’s injunction Friday, April 29, but
the Nazis apparently hoped to circumvent the ruling
by appearing on Saturday instead.
After police handed Sullivan’s restraining order to
the Nazis, the group returned in four vehicles to its
Southwest Side Chicago headquarters. The Nazis then
said they would be back in Skokie for a demonstration
at 3 p.m. on May 22.
MEANWHILE, ABOUT 300 counter-demonstrators
waited in front of village hall, 5127 Oakton, protesting
the expected arrival of the Nazi band. Many of the
Jews in the crowd had come directly from their synagogs, after learning during Sabbath services that the
Nazi rally had been rescheduled for that afternoon.
Signs carried by persons in the crowd included references to World War II concentration camps or the
slogan “Smash the Nazis.”

Even after Mayor Albert Smith told the counter-demonstrators that the Nazis had been turned back by
the injunction, many of them remained after 3 p.m.,
when the Nazis were to have arrived.
Skokie reportedly was targeted for Nazi activity
because of the village’s large Jewish population. About
40,500 of the 70,000 residents are Jewish and some 7,000
are survivors of the Nazi holocaust of World War II.
Under pressure from local Jewish organizations,
vlllage officials last week sought the court orders because they claimed Nazi demonstrations were intended
to incite violent confrontations and posed a danger to
the “health, safety and welfare of the community.”
ATTORNEYS FROM THE American Civil Liberties union (ACLU) representing the Nazis argued that
actions by the village to bar the rally abridged First
Amendment constitutional rights of free speech and
assembly.
Nazi leaders claimed their village hall rally was
designed to protest a Skokie park district refusal to
permit use of park facilities without $350,000 in liability
insurance.
Sullivan’s injunction, which Skokie Corp. Counsel
Harvey Schwartz called “almost identical” to the one
issued earlier by Wosik, banned the Nazis from:
“Marching, walking or parading in the uniform
of the National Socialist Party of America.
“Marching, walking, parading or otherwise displaying the swastika on or off their person.
“Distributing pamphlets or displaying any materials which incite or promote hatred against persons
of Jewish faith or ancestry or hatred against persons
of any faith or ancestry, race or religion.”
l

SCHWARTZ SAID THE village would continue to
monitor the plans of the Nazis.

THE tension outside Skokie
kie village hall on Saturday was evident in the
face of Mayor Albert
Smith as he used this bullhorn to tell the large
crowd that 30 Nazi demonstrators had been turned
back at the village borders. The riot-helmeted
Skokie police on hand
grimly watched the scene
(below).

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;During the late 1970s, a small group of neo-Nazis based in Chicago attempted to hold a rally in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, a community that was known to have a large Jewish population. Local officials resisted the group’s efforts through by passing a series of ordinances aimed at preventing demonstrations or parades by hate groups. The ordinances were ultimately overturned following a series of state and federal lawsuits because they infringed on the group’s First Amendment rights and the neo-Nazis were issued a permit to demonstrate in Skokie. However, instead of facing the growing number of organized counter-demonstrators, the group held rallies in Federal Plaza and in Marquette Park in Chicago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit &lt;a title="Attempted Nazi March in Skokie" href="https://skokiehistory.omeka.net/exhibits/show/attempted-nazi-march/timeline"&gt;Skokie Public Library's online exhibit&lt;/a&gt; to see the events as they unfolded.

                    <text>Predict speedy vote
on Nazi march laws
By ROBERT FEDER
Staff Writer

SKOKIE - Two area legislators
this week predicted an easy victory in
the state senate but a tougher battle in
the house for two bills designed to
block a Nazi demonstration in Skokie.
The senate judiciary committee
Tuesday, May 2, approved unanimously and sent to the full senate the bills,
which are being rushed through in time
to prevent the Nazi march set for June
25. Passage by both houses could come
within three weeks.
State Sen. John Nimrod (R-4th),
chief sponsor of one of the bills, and
State Rep. Alan Greiman (D-15th) said
in separate telephone interviews Tuesday that the bills may be Skokie’s last
hope to stall the Nazis, if court appeals
fail. But they acknowledged that strong
opposition on constitutional grounds
from some house members may mean
trouble after the bills pass the senate.
One bill, sponsored by State Sen.
Howard Carroll (D-15th) and co-sponsored by four other senators, including
Nimrod and Arthur Berman (D-llth),
would block the Nazis by reviving an
old law prohibiting the defamation of
any group which results in a breach of
the peace.
THE OTHER, sponsored by Nimrod
and also co-sponsored by four other
senators, including Carroll and Berman, would outlaw demonstrations
likely to result in physical violence and
ban symbols and uniforms having
“historical associations” with violence
(such as the Nazi swastika).
The Nimrod bill also takes into consideration the “racial and ethnic characteristics” of the community, in
determining whether violence will occur.
A third bill designed to prevent a
Nazi march - also sponsored by Nimrod - was not approved by the judiciary committee for senate
consideration. The bill would have given local officials the power to deny a
parade permit in cases where marchers are conspiring to violate the civil
rights of others.
The third bill was blocked by the
committee, because some members
were concerned about its legality, Nimrod said.
Both of the Nimrod-sponsored bills
were identical to bills introduced in the

STATE REP. ALAN Greiman (D-15th) (left) and State Sen. John
Nimrod (R-4th) : :“Great rush on” to prevent a Nazi demonstration in
Skokie.

house last month by State Rep. Calvin
Skinner (R-33d).
GREIMAN EXPLAINED that the
house failed to act on Skinner’s original versions of the bills, because they
were blocked by the house rules committee. Greiman, a member of the
committee, said he moved to pass the
bills along, but he was unsuccessful.
Asked about the two latest bills
Tuesday, Greiman said, "I think
they’ll pass the senate, but it won’t be
easy in the house. I think they’ll have
problems the way they’re written
now.”
Although legislators from most districts have expressed only mild concern, if any, for the Nazi march in
Skokie, Greiman said he and those
from this area “feel there is a great
rush on” now.
“I’m under pressure as a Jew who’s
concerned about a Nazi march in Skokie. I’m concerned because I live in
Skokie. And I’m torn apart by the emotional and intellectual pressures to consider,” he added.
NIMROD STRESSED the urgency
of the two bills passed Tuesday by the
judiciary committee. “What we’ve got
to do is keep giving the village (Skokie) the tools to work with to prevent
this march and avoid confrontation,”
he said.

Slightly more optimistic about the
bills’ chances in the house, Nimrod
said many legislators who also are attorneys have trouble with the constitutionality of bills like his. “These
attorneys might concur and be sympathetic, but so many have been involved
in the ACLU (American, Civil Liberties
union), they find a conflict in stopping
a march.”
The ACLU is providing legal counsel to the National Socialist (Nazi)
Party of America, which has been battling Skokie for a parade permit.
LAWMAKERS’ POSITIONS on the
Nazi issue, Nimrod said, are not related to political party. “This has nothing
to do with party. Some (legislators)
are concerned; some are not. But if
they’re at all serious about providing
Skokie another alternative and avoiding confrontation, both houses will pass
both bills,” he said.
Among those testifying on behalf of

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;During the late 1970s, a small group of neo-Nazis based in Chicago attempted to hold a rally in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, a community that was known to have a large Jewish population. Local officials resisted the group’s efforts through by passing a series of ordinances aimed at preventing demonstrations or parades by hate groups.

Officials huddle, wait
for the Nazi ‘invasion’
By ROBERT FEDER
Correspondent
SKOKIE-Mayor Albert Smith leaned out his office window to take home movies and snapshots of the
crowd of counter-demonstrators below.
Corp. Counsel Harvey Schwartz scurried from his
office to a conference room to the windows and nervously paced the floor.
And village trustees wondered out loud just when
it would all be over.
It all happened on the second floor of village hall
Saturday, April 30, as Skokie officials prepared for
what could have been an ugly day of violent confrontation between the 300 mostly Jewish counter-demonstrators below and a band of Nazis who came within
moments of staging their rally there.
As it turned out, the Nazis made it only as far as
the east- bound exit ramp of the Edens expy. at Touhy,
but Schwartz and others expressed doubt about how
long they could keep them out of Skokie entirely.
“ON ONE hand, they’ll never rest until they’re allowed to come here and on the other, those people outside say there’s no possible way to negotiate anything
that will permit (the Nazis) in Skokie in any form,”
Schwartz told a group of village attorneys and Trustee
Manly Croft.
The last-minute decision by the National Socialist
Party of America to stage its rally on Saturday afternoon instead of the originally scheduled Sunday, May

1, threw the village into a mild panic.
Officials and department heads were summoned to
village hall early Saturday morning as soon as they
learned of the revised plan. In a series of hastily called
meetings, they decided to seek another injunction barring the Nazis and put into effect their contingency
plans to handle the mob expected to form outside.
SKOKIE POLICE faced the day’s biggest problems in two ways. First, they were charged with delivering the latest injunction to the Nazis and second,
they had to control whatever crowd would gather at
village hall.
By the time Judge Harold Sullivan signed the restraining order Saturday, police were unable to serve
it to the Nazis on the Southwest Side in time. So they
waited at expressway exits to halt them when they
neared the village.
In order to control the crowd, additional police
were on duty or on call throughout the weekend, with
all days off and vacations cancelled. Units from neighboring villages were placed on stand-by alert.
When the threat of the Nazi “invasion” had finally
passed for the day and the crowd below began to disperse, Skokie officials on the second floor of village
hall became noticeably more relaxed.
AT THAT point, Schwartz permitted other reporters to enter the building and granted interviews to describe how the latest crisis had been met.

                    <text>Nazi bills seen
as more urgent
By ROBERT FEDER
Staff Writer

SKOKIE - Now that the village’s
own legal options are dwindling, state
legislators are stepping up their efforts
on behalf of two bills designed to block
a June 25 Nazi march in Skokie.
“If these bills were meaningful before, they are doubly meaningful now.
Each time an avenue (of appeal) gets
closed, they become more urgent,”
said State Rep. Alan Greiman (D15th), house sponsor of one of the bills.
The LIFE interviewed Greiman and
State Rep. Peter Peters (R-15th) Tuesday, May 23, after a federal appeals
court agreed with a lower court Monday, May 22, that Skokie’s own antiNazi ordinances were unconstitutional.
The two legislators expressed mild
disappointment that the two bills - approved May 10 by the state senate had been assigned for hearing to the
house judiciary committee rather than
the executive committee.
Peters said the bills would have
fared better in the executive committee, where there are fewer lawyers
and, presumably, more members sympathetic to Skokie’s position.

GREIMAN SAID, “Obviously, you
like to find a committee that will be
helpful, but if it should not pass in judiciary, you could still discharge it (for a
full house vote) anyway.” Greiman is
a member of the judiciary committee.
After considering amendments that
would negate a “heckler’s veto,” he
noted, the house should vote on both
bills “in about 10 days.”
The bill sponsored by Greiman and
co-sponsored by Peters and State Rep.
William Laurino (D-15th) would make
it illegal to defame any ethnic group
publicly. The measure was sponsored
in the senate by State Sen. Howard
Carroll (D-15th).
The other bill, sponsored in the
house by State Rep. Arthur Telcser (R12th) and co-sponsored by Peters, bans
demonstrations that might involve
use of “physical force.” It was sponsored in the senate by State Sen. John
Nimrod (R-4th). (R-4th).
Peters said he is looking forward to
the house’s debate on the bills, regardless of the outcome. “I think you’ll see
one of the finest hours in the General
Assembly on points of law and liberty
and rights. We’ll do a tremendous service by airing these issues,” he added.

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;During the late 1970s, a small group of neo-Nazis based in Chicago attempted to hold a rally in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, a community that was known to have a large Jewish population. Local officials resisted the group’s efforts through by passing a series of ordinances aimed at preventing demonstrations or parades by hate groups. The ordinances were ultimately overturned following a series of state and federal lawsuits because they infringed on the group’s First Amendment rights and the neo-Nazis were issued a permit to demonstrate in Skokie. However, instead of facing the growing number of organized counter-demonstrators, the group held rallies in Federal Plaza and in Marquette Park in Chicago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit &lt;a title="Attempted Nazi March in Skokie" href="https://skokiehistory.omeka.net/exhibits/show/attempted-nazi-march/timeline"&gt;Skokie Public Library's online exhibit&lt;/a&gt; to see the events as they unfolded. The library's digital collection, seen here, includes newspaper articles, editorials, recordings from the Skokie Village Board of Trustees meetings, a memoir written by a local clergywoman, and two documentary films.&lt;/p&gt;

liberal friends.
Mikva called a press conference
Monday, March 27, in Skokie, specifically to break his long silence on the
planned Nazi demonstration and he
came down clearly on the side of Skokie.
Urging Skokie Mayor Albert Smith
“to pursue every judicial remedy” to
keep the National Socialist Party of
America from marching, Mikva said
the Nazis’ purpose was not “to exercise free speech, but to terrorize residents.”
Mikva also pledged to participate in
a vigil next month organized by the
Niles Township Democratic organization as a memorial to the victims of
Nazism in World War II.
WHEN ASKED why he didn’t take a
stand on the issue earlier, Mikva said
he feared giving the Nazi group publicity and accelerating their notoriety. He
had been under intense pressure from
constituents on both sides of the issue
to speak out.
Despite the belief of some liberal
Mikva supporters that the Nazis do
have a constitutional right to march,
the congressman said he hopes his own
position won’t cost him liberal backing.
“I hope this isn’t a political issue,” he
said.
“Nobody wants to trample on the
First amendment,” he said, adding
that the issue involves “a delicate balancing” of constitutional rights.
HOWEVER, MIKVA'S position immediately came under fire from
Franklyn Haiman, national secretary
of the American Civil Liberties union
(ACLU) and a professor and First
amendment expert at Northwestern
university.
Haiman, who has actively supported
Mikva in his campaigns, attended the
press conference Monday as an observ-

er to hear Mikva read his statement
first-hand.
The ACLU is defending in court the
Nazis’ right to march in Skokie. Mikva
is a member and former Illinois board
member of the organization, Haiman
said.
“Although I love Ab and I still support him, I disagree with him,” Haiman said after hearing Mikva’s
statement.
Mikva based his decision that the
courts may side with Skokie in preventing the Nazi march on past rulings
which allow local governments to regulate free speech in some instances. He
also compared the Nazis marching in
their uniforms to Ku Klux Klan members terrorizing Southern towns in
white sheets and hoods.
BUT HAIMAN said the courts have
upheld regulations on free speech
“only when it has to do with things like
the volume of sound trucks, rush-hour
jam ups, and scheduling conflicts. It
has never been acceptable to ban
speech and I don’t think that’s a very
formidable argument.”
Mikva’s analogy to hooded Klansmen also “doesn’t hold water,” Haiman said, because the 1920s laws were
upheld by courts only because wearing
white sheets and hoods concealed
identities.
“If you wear a mask, the courts
said, you may be hiding while committing a crime. But here, the Nazis will
not be wearing masks over their faces,
so his comparison doesn’t hold water,”
he added.
The Nazi demonstration, which had
been planned for next month, has been
postponed indefinitely, thanks to a
45-day stay issued by a federal judge
March 18. The stay delayed when his
earlier order allowing the march would
take effect.

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;During the late 1970s, a small group of neo-Nazis based in Chicago attempted to hold a rally in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, a community that was known to have a large Jewish population. Local officials resisted the group’s efforts through by passing a series of ordinances aimed at preventing demonstrations or parades by hate groups. The ordinances were ultimately overturned following a series of state and federal lawsuits because they infringed on the group’s First Amendment rights and the neo-Nazis were issued a permit to demonstrate in Skokie. However, instead of facing the growing number of organized counter-demonstrators, the group held rallies in Federal Plaza and in Marquette Park in Chicago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit &lt;a title="Attempted Nazi March in Skokie" href="https://skokiehistory.omeka.net/exhibits/show/attempted-nazi-march/timeline"&gt;Skokie Public Library's online exhibit&lt;/a&gt; to see the events as they unfolded.

Staff Writer
STATE REP. Alan Greiman (D15th) said he expects the house to approve two bills designed to block a
Nazi march in Skokie, after making a
few changes in the versions already
approved by the state senate.
Greiman told The LIFE from
Springfield Tuesday, May 16, that both
bills probably will be passed out of
committees this week and will come up
for house votes about next week.
The bills were sent to the house after senate passage May 10 by a margin
of 4-1.
If enacted, the new laws could be
Skokie’s last hope to postpone a demonstration now set for June 25 by the
National Socialist (Nazi) Party of
America. A federal judge ruled Skokie’s own anti-Nazi ordinances uncon-

stitutional and village attorneys are
awaiting an appeals court ruling on the
matter.
ONE BILL, sponsored originally by
State Sen. Howard Carroll (D-15th),
would revive a “group libel” law, making it illegal to display in public any
sign, slogan, uniform, or symbol that
defames any group on the basis of
race, creed, or religion.
The second bill, sponsored by State
Sen. John Nimrod (R-4th) would prohibit parades and demonstrations that
arouse “reasonable apprehensions” of
“the use or display of physical force in
promoting any political objective.”
Courts could consider the racial and
ethnic characteristics of the neighborhoods involved.
Greiman, who is a leader of the effort to pass the bills in the house, de-

“The courts still hold oral communication sacrosanct, but labor laws restricting picketing established that not all
written forms are fully covered,” he
said.
When asked whether either bill
might also be amended to tie it more
directly to a threat of imminent violence, Greiman said, “That’s a doubleedged sword and I’m not sure we’ll
touch that one.”

                    <text>Christian ministers
unite against march
By ROBERT FEDER
Correspondent
SKOKIE - A dozen Christian clergymen, responding to the village’s
“deep distress” over the planned Nazi
march, have scheduled an inter-faith
open air worship service for Sunday,
April 16.
The Christian Clergy of Skokie,
members of the Niles Township Clergy
forum, held a press conference Thursday, March 24, to announce the service, which will start at 3 p.m. at the
Niles West high school stadium, Oakton and Edens, Skokie.
The religious leaders also detailed
five other steps they will take in response to the march and issued a joint
statement noting that they “appreciate
the deep concern of people everywhere.”
The controversial demonstration by
members of the National Socialist (Nazi) Party of America had been planned
for April 20, but a court order delayed
the march in Skokie for at least 45 days.
REV. THOMAS O’Connor, pastor of
St. Peter’s United Church of Christ,

said the open air service is intended to
“emphasize the solidarity of the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish community here.”
He explained, “It is an attempt to
say to the country that Skokie is not
just a place for confrontation. There is
a great deal of brotherhood and love
here. We are grateful to God we live
here and we will give thanksgiving to
our common God that we can all relate
to one another and work together.”
Ministers announcing their joint efforts Thursday were three Lutherans,
three Presbyterians, two Methodists, a
Baptist, an Episcopalian and one from
the United Church of Christ, and one
Catholic priest. Also present as observers were two rabbis and a cantor.
“Basically, this was to be seen as a
Christian statement, not necessarily as
a Jewish statement. This is not just a
Jewish problem, but one that confronts
all people in Skokie of all faiths. I think
it’s important that the Christian community makes this statement on its
own,” Rev. O’Connor said.
THE CLERGYMEN’S joint statement said:
“It is our feeling that we must respond as a people of God, concerned for
the physical, mental, and spiritual
need of all. We especially are committed to identifying with the Jewish residents in their deep distress occasioned
by the Nazi presence and exercise of
un-American and irreligious free
speech.
“We are aware also that a Nazi presence would be distressing for a varie
ty of reasons to thousands of nonJewish residents as well.
“Therefore, we want to share visibly and invisibly in a manner that
will honor God and all of His children.
We will help to prepare the open air
worship service in cooperation with local religious leaders of every faith. We
will encourage people in and outside of
Skokie to be in prayer in their own
communities on a day when the Nazis
might march. And we respectfully ask
other communities not to complicate
the already formidable problem of local authorities to deal with a multitude
of people.
"In the meantime, we truly appreciate the deep concern of people everywhere who have expressed a resolve to be of the greatest help in encouraging us to meet a community
challenge in a manner befitting people
of God."

injuries or arrests.
l Publicizing a series of ChristianJewish Bible studies April 2-23 on successive Sunday evenings. The first is
set for 7:30 p.m. April 2 at St. Peter’s
United Church of Christ, Oakton and
Laramie, Skokie. The story of Creation
will be discussed.
l Cooperating and participating in
“Remembrance Week” April 1522, as
proclaimed by Skokie officials, to recall the Holocaust and the events of
World War II.
WHEN ASKED why the clergymen
scheduled their open air service for
April 16, even though the April 26 Nazi
march had been postponed, Rev.
O’Connor said, “The timing is all our
own and these are areas we feel we
can move in now. We will not be bound
by the particular whims of one man
(Nazi leader Frank Collin).”
Rev. O’Connor emphasized that the
position of the Christian clergymen on
the Nazi march is not a new one. “We
issued similar statements as long ago
as April and June of last year to spell
out how we felt about the march. But
one of the problems is, the press hasn’t
asked us where we stand on this,” he
said.
