In an interview with The Sun-Times, Nizer said he would be “very interested” in handling Skokie’s appeal of the court ruling last month that opened the way for a Nazi march. “If my schedule permits, and it may,” Nizer said, “I would be very interested in taking the appeal. There are legal remedies (available) to enjoin (the Nazi group) from carrying out their plans in this village.” Nizer, who is Jewish, told a gathering at the Chicago Bar Assn. on Tuesday that he believes it was “very wrong” for the courts to permit the planned march to be carried LOUIS NIZER U.S. District Court Judge Bernard M. Decker, who issued the ruling that cleared the way for the march, was in the audience and spoke after Nizer's remarks. “I’d like to explain (my) dedecision to you sometime,” Decker told Nizer. “You don’t understand. . . . You must see those village ordinances.” Decker, who struck down would have banned Nazi types of demonstrations, promised to send Nizer a copy of his 55page Feb. 23 opinion in the case. Last Friday, Decker ordered a “cooling-off period” of 45 days for any march, delaying the proposed April 20 March. Although Nizer said he has not been approached formally by any officials of the village, which already has a team of attorneys preparing an appeal to Decker’s decision, Nizer said some Chicago lawyers had urged him to consider taking the case. Nizer also said he probably would not charge a fee for the Skokie case, saying “There are some causes I undertake because my heart is in it.” Skokie Mayor Albert J. Smith could not be reached for comment on the matter, nor could any of the attorneys involved in the case. Decker ruled that Skokie or- dinances restricting public demonstrations and marches violate the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech and public assembly and the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee of equal protection of the laws for all persons. But, Nizer said Tuesday, “ N o constitutional prerogative is written in holy script . . . If we can stop someone from yelling ‘fire!' in a crowded movie theater, we can stop the Nazi march through Skokie. The principle is the same - to prevent a riot.” Nizer, 72, has had some experience with Nazi demonstrations in his 48 years as a trial lawyer. He has been a friend of many Presidents and bigcity mayors and said he once was asked by New York City’s Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia what to do with a request by Nazis in the 1940s to stage a rally at Madison Square Garden. “I told the mayor he should refuse them,” said Nizer, “and for the same reasons they should be stopped in Skokie to protect the public peace.” But LaGuardia ignored Ni- zer's advice. Instead, Nizer has written in his latest book, LaGuardia “called in the commissioner of police and asked how many Jewish police officers were on the force.” Nazis � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

And Richard A. Salem, Midwest director of the service, is so pleased with talks so far that he told The Sun-Times Thursday there is a “distinct possibility” the march will be called off. Basing his comments on months of discussions with all parties involved, in the proposed June 25 march through the heavily Jewish suburb, Salem told The Sun-Times that “everybody would like to make their point, but, at the same time, avoid a Skokie demonstration. . . . It’s the principle and not Skokie.” Salem’s comments were the first of their kind for the community relations unit since it volunteered its behind-the-scene “liaison” services to the parties involved in the march dispute early this year. Salem’s group provides conciliation services for groups involved in racial and ethnic disputes. NAZI LEADER Frank Collin had said earlier that he would “very strongly consider” dropping the proposed Skokie march if the Chicago Park District would drop its demands for an insurance bond for Nazi rallies in Marquette Park. And, Thursday Collin reiterated that to The Sun-Times, saying that if the way is cleared for Nazi rallies in the city park, “there would be no purpose in going to Skokie.” Collin said he applied for a permit to hold a July 9 rally in Marquette Park, but has not yet received approval.
