Skokie asks judge to delay
order clearing Nazi march
By Dennis D. Fisher
The Village of Skokie asked a federal judge
Thursday to delay implementing his order removing legal obstacles to a planned Nazi
march in the north suburb next month.
Village Atty. Harvey M. Schwartz said intense interest in the Nazi march and planned
counterdemonstrations “pose a threat to the
well-being of the village.”
Schwartz asked U.S. District Court Judge
Bernard M. Decker, who overturned three
hastily drawn village ordinances aimed at
blocking the march, to hold up implementing
his decision until appeals are decided in higher courts.
Meanwhile, Christians were urged by a major interdenominational organization to respond to a Nazi march by wearing armbands
bearing a yellow Star of David. The armband
campaign, symbolizing solidarity with Jews,
was announced by the National Conference of
Christians and Jews.
“We need to demonstrate to Jews that they
do not stand alone at this time,” said James
W. Rottman, executive director of the group’s
Chicago and Illinois region. He urged Christians in the Chicago area to wear the Star of
David “to church, to work, to school and in
their neighborhoods” on the day of a Nazi
march.
The National Socialist Party of America,
headed by Frank Collin, tentatively plans a
march in heavily Jewish Skokie on April 20,
Adolf Hitler’s birthday. Major Jewish groups
are planning a massive counter-rally on that
day, or April 22 if the march date is shifted.
LAWYERS FOR SKOKIE and the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union, which defended the
Nazis’ right to march, will go before Decker
Friday to argue whether he should delay his
order permitting the march.
“Since the issuance of the court’s order, the
proposed march has become an international
media event,” Schwartz said. His chief argument is that if the march is held while Decker’s ruling is being appealed there is no point
to the appeal.
U.S. Atty. Thomas P. Sullivan, speaking informally with reporters, said his office has
under review plans fora federal presence in
Skokie if and when the march is held. He
compared it to monitoring by federal attorneys and Federal Bureau of Investigation
agents in Chicago last September as a controversial school building program began.
The Illinois Department of Law Enforcement reported Thursday that contingency
plans are being drawn to have state police
back up the 119-member Skokie police force if
necessary.
THE STAR OF DAVID campaign is part of
a nationwide program. Leaders of the National Conference of Christians and Jews are
planning parallel events in at least 100 other
cities on the same day. Christians in those
cities will be asked to gather at a central
place and walk together, wearing the yellow
star, to a synagog for a memorial service
recalling the Holocaust.
“America is not on the verge of a Nazi
take-over,” said Donald W. McEvoy, senior
vice president of the national conference. He
estimated that eight separate Nazi groups in
the United States probably have fewer than
2,000 members.

Neo-Nazis denied a writ allowing Skokie march
By Dennis D. Fisher
A request by a group of neoNazis that would have allowed
them to march in the largely
Jewish suburb of Skokie was
denied Friday by U.S. District
Court Judge Bernard M. Decker.
The judge refused to grant a
preliminary injunction barring
Skokie village officials from
enforcing three ordinances
that prohibit the kind of march

Decker reasoned that an injunction now would eliminate

Delay of Skokie
march is upheld
By Chip Magnus
A U.S. appellate court Friday upheld a lower-court ruling that barred a march by neoNazis in north suburban Skokie before May.
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2 to
1 to uphold a March 17 order by U.S. District
Court Judge Bernard M. Decker for a 45-day
cooling-off period.
Frank Collin, leader of the National Socialist Party of America, had asked the appeals
court to vacate Decker’s ban so that his
group could march through the heavily Jewish suburb on April 20, the birthdate of Adolf
Hitler.
Decker has ruled that the march itself can
be held. In a suit brought by the American
Civil Liberties Union on behalf of the neoNazis, Decker struck down Skokie ordinances
banning the march as unconstitutional.
However, he ordered the temporary ban
partly to permit the village to appeal his ruling. This appeal is also before the 7th Circuit
Court of Appeals and is due for a hearing the
last two weeks of May.
The village also has an appeal before the
U.S. Supreme Court, asking reversal of an
Illinois Supreme Court decision. The Illinois
high court reversed a 1977 injunction against
the march.
Thursday, the Illinois Supreme Court refused to rehear a decision throwing out a suit
against the march brought by survivors of the
World War II Holocaust in Europe.
Jerome T. Torshen, lawyer for the survivors group, said he will appeal that Illinois
high court decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
