Skokie
loses on
Nazis
again
By Phillip J. O’Connor
The U.S. Court of Appeals
Monday denied the Village of
Skokie’s request to block a
planned Nazi march in the
suburb June 25.
The court’s 2-to-1 ruling
was announced Monday night
at a Skokie Village Board
meeting. Village officials said
Skokie next will ask the U.S.
Supreme Court for a stay.
Village Atty. Harvey
Schwartz earlier this week
mailed a writ to the nation’s
highest court asking it to review an earlier ruling by the
Appeals Court here that
cleared the way for the Nazi
march.
The village on May 26 issued a permit for the Nazi
march and then issued a second permit to a Jewish umbrella group for a counterdemonstration the same day.
The Illinois General Assembly still could block the Nazi
demonstration, at least for a
time, if the U.S. Supreme
Court refuses to block the
march.
TWO BILLS already passed
by the Illinois Senate and
pending in the House would
make it illegal for Skokie to
issue a permit to the Nazis.
Village officials said passage of these bills before June
25, in effect, would represent
a “second line of defense” if
the Supreme Court refuses to
prevent the march.
Trustees were told Monday
night that if the high court is
receptive to Schwartz’ request
for a review, village attorneys
will prepare a set of briefs to
spell out the village’s reasons
for wanting the march
blocked.
The permit issued to Nazi
leader Frank Collin allows 50
to 100 neo-Nazis to march in
front of the Village Hall beginning at 3 p.m. on June 25.
In other action, the board
Monday night gave the green
light for Cook County to construct a new county complex-similar to Maybrook in
Maywood-on county-owned
land on Old Orchard Rd. east
of Harms Rd.
Branches of Circuit Court
now in several other north
suburbs would be consolidated
in the new county complex,
which also would include offices of some other county
departments. The board
unanimously approved special
zoning for the site.
The board also deferred
consideration until next Monday on a controversial condominium-control measure. A
Chicago Bar Assn. committee
last week submitted a report
that was critical of some provisions, and the proposed ordinance was revised some by
Schwartz.

Skokie issues Nazi march permit
By Phillip J. O’Connor
Nazi leader Frank Collin has been issued a
permit to march in suburban Skokie on
Sunday, June 25, it was disclosed at a Skokie
village board meeting Tuesday night. A permit also has been issued to a Jewish umbrella group for a counter-demonstration the
same day.
Both permits were issued by Village Manager John Matzer Jr.
Village officials said they will continue to
seek orders from both the U.S. Supreme
Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals here to
halt the march.
Matzer issued the permit to Collin’s National Socialist Party of America last Friday
without fanfare.
About 100 members of the Jewish umbrella group, led by former Nazi concentrationcamp prisoner Sol Goldstein, attended the
village board meeting and pledged to hold a
peaceful counter-demonstration.
COLLIN’S PERMIT calls for the Nazi
demonstration to be held in front of the
village hall at 3 p.m. on June 25.
Village officials indicated they felt they
had little choice but to issue Collin a permit
or face possible contempt of court citations
in federal court. However, they emphasized
that legal moves to try to block the march
will continue.
Goldstein told the village board Tuesday
night that he expects 50,000 persons to take
part in the counter-demonstration. Thirtyeight major Jewish organizations from the
Chicago area plan to take part, he said.
Leaders of the counter-demonstration said
they plan to first hold a rally at either Niles
East or Niles West High School, both in
Skokie, and then march to the village hall.
PLANS CALL for about 100 leaders of the
counter-demonstration to stand just across
the street from the Nazi demonstrators. The
100 leaders will be separated from the Nazis
by a line of police officers.
Collin earlier said that the planned Skokie
march will give members of the National
Socialist Party of America an opportunity to
declare themselves “either heroes or cowards.”
Collin said that he is mailing a directive to
party leaders across the nation ordering
them to participate in the Skokie demonstration, donate $100 to help replenish the party
treasury or resign.
Skokie is appealing to the U.S. Supreme
Court last week’s ruling by the U.S. Court of
Appeals in Chicago declaring unconstitutional three ordinances that barred the Nazi
march.
In other action, the village board deferred
consideration until next Monday of a controversial condominium-control measure that
would permit tenants of a building to block
condominium conversion.
Trustees were given copies of a report
from a Chicago Bar Assn. committee that
was critical of some provisions of the proposed ordinance.

Skokie eyes changes
in Jewish counter-rally
By Phillip J. O’Connor
Skokie officials have been quietly trying
to change plans for a counterdemonstration
in Skokie during a planned Nazi rally next
Sunday to keep the two groups at least a
few blocks apart.
Village officials acted at the urging of
state officials seeking to reduce the chances
of violence during the Nazi demonstration in
front of the suburb’s Village Hall.
Tentative plans for the peaceful counterdemonstration, which the sponsoring Jewish
umbrella group expects to draw 50,000 persons, call for holding an outdoor meeting at
one of the three public high schools in
Skokie.
The counterdemonstration is scheduled to
end with a march to the Village Hall, where
125 to 150 leaders of the counterdemonstration plan to read the names of Nazi holocaust victims and to recite prayers.
IT IS THE MARCH to the Village Hall,
while the uniformed Nazis are still demonstrating, that state officials oppose because
they believe it could trigger violence.
The counterdemonstration is currently
scheduled to be held at Niles East Twp. High
School, located three blocks from the Village
Hall. Law-enforcement officials said they
would prefer using Niles West High, about
eight blocks away.
Another possibility mentioned by officials
would be to change the time of the counter-

demonstration so that the Nazis and counterdemonstrators would not be acting at the
same time.
PRESIDENT ALBERT J. SMITH of Skokie
Said he has been assured by Gov. ThompSon’s office that the state police and Illinois
National Guard will be available if needed.
Tyrone C. Hahner, director of the Illinois
Department of Law Enforcement, when
asked about security plans, said, “We’ll have
as many men as necessary to keep the peace.
If that means state police and National
Guardsmen, so be it. We have several alternate plans set up.”
Nazi leaders said again Sunday that the
might call off the Skokie rally if they win
favorable ruling Tuesday from U.S. District
Court Judge George N. Leighton, permitting
them to hold rallies in Chicago parks at will
without posting insurance liability bonds.

Delay refused
for Nazi march
By Phillip J. O’Connor
and Charles Nicodemus
The U.S. Supreme Court Monday refused
to postpone a planned June 25 Nazi march in
suburban Skokie and a Nazi leader said later
the ruling may help prevent the demonstration.
By a vote of 7 to 2, the justices rejected
Skokie officials’ request to delay the march
pending consideration of the village’s formal
appeal.
Skokie Mayor Albert J. Smith said at a
press conference Monday night that he was
“very disappointed” and that the village has
contacted the Illinois National Guard, state
police and other law enforcement agencies
as it prepares for the demonstration.
Richard Tedor, deputy leader of the National Socialist Party of America, said the
Nazis would be willing to cancel the demonstration if “all our rights are restored” in a
hearing before U.S. District Court Judge
George N. Leighton here June 20.
“WE WILL CANCEL the Skokie demonstration if we are immediately granted our
rights of speech and assembly in Chicago
parks, ” Tedor said. “However it must be all
or nothing. We’re not talking about being
given the right to hold one rally.
“We want to be able to hold rallies in any
Chicago park as often as we want.”
Tedor said he was acting as the Nazi
spokesman because the group’s leader here,
Frank Collin, was “out East recruiting members of other Nazi units to get them to join
us in Skokie on June 25.”
Tedor said the Nazis set three conditions
for canceling the march and “with the
Supreme Court ruling, two of the three
conditions have been met.”
He said the Skokie demonstration was
planned to call attention “to the fact that
Nazis are being denied their rights in Chicago. Frank Collin says we’re using Skokie as
a tool. If we get our rights back in Chicago,
we’ll forget about Skokie.”
SKOKIE WAS TARGETED because of its
heavy Jewish population, which includes
4,500 to 7,000 survivors of World War II
Nazi concentration camps.
Tedor said that with Monday’s ruling by
the high court and the Illinois General Assembly’s failure to pass laws restricting the
Nazi demonstration, the only condition not
met is the striking of restrictions that bar
Nazi demonstrations in Chicago parks.
“If we can march in Marquette Park [on
the Southwest Side], we won’t go to Skokie.
If it is not decided [in the Nazis’ favor] by
June 25, we’ll go into Skokie.”
Smith called the high court’s decision
“most regrettable” and said that “all legal
action to block the demonstration has been
taken.”
SMITH SAID THAT Skokie “will make
every effort to maintain order” during the
Nazi march and a counterdemonstration
planned for about the same time in Skokie
by a Jewish umbrella group.
Leaders of the umbrella group said they
expect up to 50,000 persons to take part and
have pledged that their demonstration,
scheduled to end near the Skokie Village
Hall while the Nazis are still marching, will
be peaceful.
However, Rabbi Meir Kahne, leader of the
militant Jewish Defense League, has threatened a violent confrontation with the Nazis
to block the demonstration.
Smith said village officials have been in
contact with Gov. Thompson’s office and
have received assurances that National
Guardsmen and state police “will be ready
and, if needed, they will be available.”
ASKED IF HE WAS concerned about
possible violence, Smith said, “We are al-
ways concerned. We do not want it, but we
must plan for that eventuality. Anyone who
comes here [to Skokie] for the purpose of
breaking the law will be arrested.”
Both the Nazi demonstration and the counterdemonstration are scheduled to begin 3 to
3:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 25, Smith said. He
said specifics on the counterdemonstration
had not been given village officials yet by
the Jewish umbrella group, but that “at least
part of” that demonstration is scheduled to
take place at the Village Hall.
Smith also said that he was encouraging
Jews and anyone else who wants to take
part in the counterdemonstration to go to
Skokie. “If they want to come, they should
be here,” he added. However such demonstrators must remain peaceful, he added.
David Hamlin, executive director of the
Illinois division of the American Civil LiberTurn to Page 36
Justices bar Nazi march delay
Continued from Page 5
ties Union, which has defended the Nazis in
court, said:
“The Supreme Court’s ruling clearly es-
tablishes that Collin and his group have a
right to march in Skokie. He [Collin] doesn’t
have a clear right to demonstrate in Chicago.
I understand that Collin would rather march
in Chicago than Skokie. I’m sure a lot of
people would prefer that Collin go someplace besides Skokie.”
The Skokie council Monday night voted
unanimously to urge quick passage of state
Senate Bills 1811 and 1676, which would
forbid demonstrations by hate groups.
The proposal was urged by Erna Gans,
president of the Korczak Lodge of B’nai
B’rith. A second proposal was made by the
Clergy Forum, asking that no marches be
permitted on Saturdays or Sundays, as they
might interfere with churchgoers’ travel.
The council told the Clergy Forum it should
take this issue to court,
THE CASE THAT WILL come up before
Judge Leighton on June 20 involves Chicago
Park District regulations on such demonstrations.
The Supreme Court’s denial of the village’s request to bar the march, which had
been submitted to Justice John Paul Stevens
last week, was announced without comment
by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger.
Justices Harry A. Blackmun and William
H. Rehnquist voted in the minority and said
the June 25 rally should be postponed pending consideration of the village’s appeal.

Block Nazi march
until plea: Skokie
By Phillip J. O'Connor
The Village of Skokie
Wednesday asked the U.S. 7th
Circuit Court of Appeals to
block a planned Nazi march in
the suburb on June 25 while
the village appeals the case to
the U.S. Supreme Court.
Village Atty. Harvey
Schwartz said in a brief filed
with the appeals court here
that there was no urgency to
conduct the Nazi demonstration.
Schwartz said it does not
make sense to go to extensive
preparations for the Nazi
demonstration before the
case’s merits have been decided by the Supreme Court.
He said he plans to file a
lengthy appeal by mail with
the Supreme Court next
weekend. He will ask the high
court to overturn a ruling by
the federal appeals court here
last week that cleared the
way for the march.
Skokie officials Friday reluctantly issued a permit for a
march to Nazi leader Frank
Collin and then issued a permit to a Jewish umbrella
group for a counterdemonstration in the north suburb on
the same day.
Village officials said they
had little choice but to issue
Collin a permit, or face possible contempt charges in federal courts here.
Collin’s permit allows 50 to
100 neo-Nazis to march in
front of the village hall at 3
p.m. on June 25. The demonstration, originally scheduled
for noon, was delayed so it
would not interfere with Sunday church traffic, village officials said.
Sol Goldstein, a survivor of
World War II Nazi concentration camps, told the village
board Tuesday night that he
expects 50,000 persons to take
part in what he pledged
would be a peaceful counterdemonstration.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>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. <br /><br />Visit <a title="Attempted Nazi March in Skokie" href="https://skokiehistory.omeka.net/exhibits/show/attempted-nazi-march/timeline">Skokie Public Library's online exhibit</a> 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.</p>
