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.

House panel rejects bills to bar Nazi march
By Bob Secter
Sun-Times Bureau
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.-Legislative efforts to block a
planned June 25 Nazi march
through heavily Jewish Skokie suffered a serious - but
not fatal - blow Tuesday in a
House judiciary committee.
Heeding warnings that the
measures dangerously encroached on First Amendment
constitutional freedoms, the
committee resoundingly rejected two bills designed to
arm Skokie officials with sufficient legal weapons to stop
the Nazi march.
The 16-to-4 and 15-to-5 tallies against the two bills came
even though both sailed out of
the Senate last month with
little opposition.
Despie the action, opponents of the legislation were
not happy. Because of parliamentary maneuvering, it is
expected to be relatively easy
for sponsors of one of the
measures to bypass the committee roadblock and bring
the bill to the House floor.
“I EXPECT THERE is less
rationality among the body as
a whole than there is in this
committee,” lamented an official of the American Civil Liberties Union, which has led
the fight to preserve the Nazi’s right to march.
Backers of the bills vowed
not to give up. Rep. Alan J.
Greiman (D-Skokie), a sponsor
of one of the measures, reminded reporters after the
vote that the liberal-minded
judiciary committee often has
been reversed by the full
House on major policy issues.
“This committee doesn’t
have a very good track record,” blared Greiman as he
stalked out of the committee
room, vowing to file a motion
to have the full House overturn the committee vote.
A Marquette Park-based
neo-Nazi group has tried for
more than a year to parade
through Skokie, but the
march has been delayed by
legal wrangling. However, recent court decisions have given the go-ahead to the Nazis,
and on May 26 they asked for
- and received - a June 25
parade permit from reluctant
Skokie village officials.
Opponents of the march are
now viewing the Legislature
as their best chance to stop
the Nazis. Even if one of the
bills should eventually be declared unconstitutional, the
opponents believe that its passage would at least force the
courts to order the march delayed.
The measure with the best
chance of being revived is the
one sponsored by Greiman
and Sen. Howard W. Carroll
(D-Chicago). It creates a new
crime of criminal group defamation and gives local officials the right to seek injunctions to stop derogatory demonstrations and the distribution of hate literature.
The other measure, sponsored by Sen. John J. Nimrod
(R-Glenview), would ban pa“Isn't it better to stop it

House won’t hear bills
to block Nazis’ march
By Bob Secter
Sun-Times Bureau
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Opponents of a
planned Nazi march through Skokie received
another setback Tuesday when the Illinois
House refused to consider legislation to stop
hate groups from demonstrating.
A Chicago neo-Nazi group has planned a
June 25 rally in the heavily Jewish suburb.
Village officials have warned that the demonstration could lead to violence and would
pyschologically wound Nazi death camp survivors who live there.
The only chance to halt the march appears
to be in US. District Court in Chicago,
where a judge is scheduled to rule next
Tuesday whether the city Park District is
illegally blocking the National Socialists Party of America march through Marquette
Park.
NAZI LEADER Frank Collin has said he
would cancel the Skokie event if he could
get a parade permit for Marquette Park, near
the Nazis’ headquarters.
With the legal assistance of the American
Civil Liberties Union, the Nazis are challenging in court the Park District’s requirement
that a $60,000 insurance liability bond be
posted before a parade permit is issued.
Park District Supt. Edmund L. Kelly said
Tuesday that the district will not waive the
bond to facilitate cancellation of the potentially more volatile Skokie march.
Kelly’s statement and the House decision
followed the U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal
Monday to issue an order indefinitely postponing the march.
After the high court ruling, march opponents had pinned their hopes on the General
Assembly, where a pair of bills designed to
block the march passed the Senate last
month but were bottled up in a House
judiciary committee.
Attempts to bypass the committee roadblock and bring the measures to the floor
were defeated overwhelmingly Tuesday. The
discharge motion on one fell 33 votes short
and the other motion lost by 46 votes.
“The vote in Springfield removes every
obstacle that I am aware of to the march,”
David Hamlin, executive director of the
ACLU’s Illinois division, said. “Skokie’s last
legal weapon is gone.”
SEN. HOWARD W. CARROLL (D-Chicago), sponsor of one of the anti-Nazi measures, was clearly shocked by the outcome
of Tuesday’s vote and acknowledged that the
chances of reviving the legislation were
practically nil.
The House had “closed the last door open”
to Skokie officials trying to stop the Nazis,
Carroll said.
The court hearing Tuesday will be the
Nazis’ second legal battle over an insurance
bond. A federal judge last year invalidated a
$250,000 bond requirement set by the Park
District.
Kelly said the bond requirement was not
unreasonable and was needed to “protect the
property and the city from damages done.”

Village of Skokie Mayor

Skokie, IL 60077
Dear Al:
Thank you for your telegram in support of Senate Bills 1676 and
1811.
In committee and on the floor of the House I supported SB 1676 but
voted against SB 1811. (I was the only one in committee that voted
for one and against the other).
I am most concerned about the sensitivity of the First Amendment,
and I voted for SB 1676 because I felt it was sufficiently limited
in scope and would not conflict with the First Amendment/ I think
SB 1811 would.
I am sorry that the House did not discharge SB 1676 from committee
and I pray that the planned march on June 25th will be peaceful.
Sincerely,
Eugene F. Schlickman

John N. Matzer, Jr.
Village Manager
5127 Oakton
Skokie, Illinois
Dear Mr. Matzer:
Please be advised that I represent Louis Black.
Pursuant to ordinance 77-5-N-994, an ordinance relating to
Parades and Public Assemblies, specifically Section 27-63,
Mr. Black again makes demand that you, in your capacity as
Village Manager, revoke the letter dated May 25, 1978 for an
alleged demonstration to be held Sunday, June 25, 1978 by the
National Socialist Party of America. We hereby make demand
upon you since facts have been brought to the attention of the
President, Board of Trustees and yourself which show that the
Parade, Public Assembly, or similar activity does not and will
not comply with the standards for the issuance of a permit as
set forth in ordinance 77-5-N-994 and the Laws of the State
of Illinois.
Amongst other violations, the application for permit
tendered to your office dated June 22, 1977 and Aprill 11, 1978
are filed on behalf of the National Socialist Party of America.
No such organization exists and if one so does they are in
violation of Chapter 96, Section 4, Illinois Revised Statutes.
Purther, the application does not contain sufficient information
to comply with Section 27-53 specifically Sections A, B, E, H
and I. Also, we are alleging violation of Section 27-56 specifically Sections A, B, D, E, F, G, H and I. Also we are alleging
violation of Section 27-58 and 27-60.
Please advise my office as to your intent in the
above matter. Mr. Black will take whatever action is necessary
to insure that the ordinances of Skokie and the statutes of the
State of Illinois are complied with. Hopefully we can resolve
this matter without litigation.
J^ery truly yours,
^Btfrton S. OdSXson
Attorney for Louis Black

Nazi march ruling due in 30 days
The U.S. Court of Appeals
announced Thursday it will
rule within 30 days on the
legality of a proposed march
by neo-Nazis in Skokie.
The court said, in effect, that
a sooner ruling was unnecessary because the Nazi group
hasn’t yet applied for a parade
permit, and under a Skokie
ordinance such an application
must be made at least 30 days
in advance of the marching
date.
The court had been expected
to rule on the question of
whether the neo-Nazis could
march while appealing a 45day cooling-off period set by
U.S. District Court Judge Bernard M. Decker.
But, the Appeals Court said
Decker’s “stay appears unnecessary” because of provisions
of the Skokie ordinance and it
also “raises some serious constitutional questions.”
Instead of ruling on the legality of a parade during the cooling-off period, the Appeals
Court said it will rule on the
broader constitutional question
of the neo-Nazi group’s right
to march.
In its ruling, the Appeals
Court vacated Decker’s order
of March 17, which established
the 45-day cooling-off period.
A spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union,
which has represented the neoNazi group in the courts, said
he hadn’t spoken to its leader
Frank Collin but that a request
for a parade permit is likely
soon.
The spokesman said the
group hadn’t filed for the permit earlier because the members thought such action would
be futile.
All eight Appeals Court
judges participated in Thursday’s decision, with two of the
judges dissenting from the majority position. The dissenters
were Judges Luther M. Swygert and Robert A. Sprecher.

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.”

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.

Skokie aide calls swastikas,
Nazi uniforms ‘violent acts’
A Skokie official said Friday
that Nazi swastikas and
“storm trooper” uniforms are
not an exercise of free speech
but “have the force and the effect of a violent act upon many
thousands of people in Skokie.”
Village Atty. Harvey M.
Schwartz made the comment
before a U.S. 7th Circuit Court
of Appeals panel reviewing a
U.S. District Court decision to
strike down three ordinances
aimed at prohibiting a planned
march by Nazis in the heavily
Jewish suburb.
Judges Wilbur F. Pell Jr.,
Robert A. Sprecher and Harlington A. Wood Jr. are expected to rule on Skokie’s appeal
within three weeks. On Friday,
the courtroom was packed
with spectators as arguments
by attorneys for both sides
were heard.
David Goldberger, an attorney for the American Civil
Liberties Union, which is representing the Nazi group, argued that the stricken ordinances w e r e unreasonably
broad.
“There is no way for a speaker or communicator to know
what is legal or illegal,” he
said. Under the ordinances, he
said Polish jokes might be a
violation and newspapers and
television stations could be
prosecuted for showing pictures of the march because
they also would inflict “trauma” on the viewers.
He argued that “this (Nazi)
assembly would be permitted
in virtually any other place in
the United States . . . except
the Village of Skokie.”

STATE OF ILLINOIS
EIGHTIETH GENERAL ASSEMBLY
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
House Resolution No. 920
Offered by Representative Johnson
WHEREAS, The Nazi Party is planning a march through the Village of Skokie; and
WHEREAS, The Village of Skokie is largely populated by Jewish-Americans, many
of whom survived the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust; and
WHEREAS, The sight of Nazi symbols is a painful reminder to Jews, especially
survivors of Hitler's death camps because of the many horrors suffered by them directly
or to their relatives and friends; and
WHEREAS, A march by Nazis through a largely Jewish area sets forth ideas advocating the extermination of the Jewish People; and
WHEREAS, The values held by the Nazis are incongruent with the philosophy on
which this country was founded; and
WHEREAS, The Nazis in the United States have shown themselves to be destructive,
and disrespectful of the rights of Jews and other minorities in the American society;
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE EIGHTIETH
GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, That we believe that the march
through Skokie is a harmful reminder of the pains and suffering of World War II; and, be
it further
RESOLVED, That, if the Nazis ever manage to put together a successful demonstration or march in Skokie, then we urge the Governor to proclaim that day as ''Holocaust
Day" with all flags flown at half-staff in memory of the Jews and others who died at the
hands of one of the most evil movements in the history of mankind; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this preamble and resolution be presented to
the Honorable James R. Thompson, Governor of the State of Illinois, and to the Honorable Mayor of the Village of Skokie.
Adopted by the House of Representatives on June 6, 1978.
Speaker of the House
