3 Nazis lobby
on march bills
By G.Robert Hillman
Sun-Times Bureau
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -
Three neo-Nazis dressed in
black with red-and-white
swastika armbands lobbied
here Wednesday against legislation aimed a t preventing a
Nazi march in heavily Jewish
Skokie.
They roamed throughout
the Capitol complex, looking
for legislators and the governor to explain their opposition
to the legislation pending on
the Senate floor.
They politely sought - and
were politely refused - access to the main areas of the
House and the Senate, where
the public is not normally allowed. An aide to Gov.
Thompson told them the governor was not in.
On the Nazis’ lobbying
agenda were two measures
approved by a Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday that
would give Skokie village officials several new legal
weapons in their battle to stop
a Nazi march in their suburb
tentatively scheduled for June
25.
One bill would create a new
crime of criminal group defamnation and the other
would ban parades by quasimilitary groups such as the
Nazis.
The three Nazis who lobbied here Wednesday - re-
presentatives of the National
Socialist White People’s Party
based in Cicero - said they
were in no way connected
with the National Socialist
Party of America, the South.
west Side group that has beer
trying to march in Skokie.
Nevertheless, Arthur Jones
who is associated with tht
Cicero group, argued that the
legislation is unconstitutional
and infringes upon the rights
of all Nazis.
“All of this is just one great
broadside against the First
Amendment,” he declared
“We view this legislation as
repressive. We are a legal political party, and we do not
intend to stand by and allow
any of these political prostitutes here take away any of
our civil liberties.
“They don’t talk here about
the Communist organization
that goes out into the streets
and raises hell, who goes out
and plants bombs and who
sits in and destroys public
property. They only aim it at
us because we’re standing up
for the right of white America.”
Jones said he and the two
men with him, both Cicero
truck drivers, came here to
distribute their literature and
a position paper to the senators, but found their efforts
thwarted somewhat by
crowds that gathered from
time to time in the Capitol to
stare at them.

Senate panel votes Nazi curbs
By Bob Secter
Sun-Times Bureau
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - A Senate judiciary
committe Tuesday overwhelmingly approved
and sent to the Senate floor two bills
designed to prevent a neo-Nazi group from
marching in the heavily-Jewish village of
Skokie.
The march, which has been stalled for
more than a year because of legal wrangling,
is now tentatively scheduled for June 25.
The vote came after the committee listened to nearly two hours of often emotional
testimony from legal experts, Jewish community and religious leaders and Holocaust
survivors scarred by the atrocities they witnessed and experienced during World War
II.
“Give us peace of mind,” pleaded Sol
Goldstein, a Skokie resident and survivor of
a Nazi concentration camp. “Let us live in
our homes peacefully. Let our children not
be reminded of the horrors we saw.”
SPECIFICALLY, the legislation, sponsored
by Sen. Howard W. Carroll (D-Chicago) and
Sen. John J. Nimrod (R-Glenview), would
arm Skokie village officials with some new
legal tools to prevent the Nazis from marching.
One of the bills would create a new crime
of criminal group defamation, a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail. A
person would be guilty of the crime if he
distributes hate literature or participates in a
derogatory demonstration in a public place.
The measure is based on an old Illinois
criminal libel statute that was upheld by the
U.S. Supreme Court in 1952 but which was
left out of a sweeping revision of the state’s
criminal code in 1964.
The other bill would prohibit parades by
quasi-military hate groups such as the Nazis.
EVEN IF THE legislation is eventually
struck down in the courts, Carroll acknowledged that its passage would give Skokie
officials a chance to buy some time by tying
up the march in court challenges.
The Illinois Supreme Court has refused to
stop the Nazi parade, despite pleas from
Skokie residents that the march would revive horrible memories among the 7,000
Skokie residents who survived the Nazi
Holocaust.
The committee heard warnings Tuesday
from Jewish leaders that the march would
definitely incite violence in the suburb.

Senators’ resolution
opposes Nazi rally
IN A special resolution passed this week by the Illinois State Senate, the proposed Nazi rally, Sunday,
May 1 in Skokie was condemned as an abuse of the
cherished constitutional right to freedom of speech and
an attempt to drum up racial and religious hatred.
The resolution, introduced by State Senators John
Nimrod (R-4th) and Howard Carroll (D-15th), “encourages” the local Skokie government to deny the Nazis a rally permit “in view of the violence, riot, and
harm to human life and to property” which would result from such a rally.
The resolve, which was sent to village officials,
states that “hundreds of thousands of Americans
fought and died in the war against Nazi Germany and
the racial hatred which it symbolized.”
Both the proposed Nazi rally in Skokie and the rise
of the Nazi party in pre-World War II Germany demonstrate that the right to freedom of speech can be
tragically abused, the statement continued.
The statement concludes that if the purpose of a
speech or rally is the incitement of riot and violence,
and there is a near certainty that such riot and violence will occur as a result result, then “restraint is in
order.”
