Appeals court ruling
on Nazi march soon
By DIANE DUBEY
Correspondent
SKOKIE - A three-judge panel of
the U.S. Court of Appeals is expected
to rule before the end of April on the
constitutionality of the three Skokie
ordinances which have thus far averted a Nazi march in the village.
But the forthcoming decision by
Judges Wilbur Pell, Jr., Harlington
Wood Jr., and Robert Sprecher is unlikely to be the final legal ruling in the
court battles which have been waged
for the past year by village attorneys
and the American Civil Liberties union
(ACLU), which is providing legal counsel to the Nazis.
“However it goes, the losing party
will appeal to the U.S. Supreme
Court,” said Harvey Schwartz, Skokie
corporation counsel, on Monday, April
17.
Considering the possibility of a Nazi
march before a decision came from the
high court, Schwartz said, “We anticipate, if we lose, that we will apply for
a stay pending the appeal.”
The request for a stay would be
filed at the same time as the petition to
the high court, he said.
WE WILL TRY to prevent a march
until the matter receives final adjudication,” Schwartz said.
In hearings before the U.S. Court of
Appeals Friday, April 14, Skokie Attorneys Schwartz and Gilbert Gordon
claimed that the march could be prevented because it would cause severe
psychic trauma to the many Skokie
residents who are survivors of the
World War II Holocaust.
Schwartz maintained that the
judges or lawyers could not comprehend the effect of a Nazi demonstration
with swastikas and uniforms upon the
Jewish residents of Skokie, particularity those who have seen similarly-attired Nazi soldiers in Europe.
The National Socialist (Nazi) Party
of America has applied to the village
for a parade permit so that between 50
and 100 uniformed demonstrators can
march in front of village hall, 5127
Oakton, from noon to 12:30 p.m., Sunday, June 25.
According to John Matzer, village
manager, village officials are considering the request.
THE THREE ordinances require
any group demonstrating in the village
to post a $350,000 insurance bond, for-
bid the wearing of military-style uni-uniforms by members of political parties,
and prohibit the distribution of printed
material which incites group hatred.
The ordinances were struck down as
unconstitutional on March 31 by U.S.
District Court Judge Bernard Decker,
but Decker later stayed his own ruling
so that a march would not be held
while the case was being heard on the
appellate level.
Decker’s stay was overturned last
week when the federal appellate court
issued a statement that the case would
be heard and decided within the 3O-day
waiting period required by Skokie between a permit application and the
demonstration day. Decker’s 45-day
ban was thus unnecessary, the statement said.
Threatened Nazi marches within the
past year have mobilized both residents of Skokie and the entire Jewish
community in the Chicago area. When
a march was planned for Thursday,
April 20, leaders of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago promised
that 50,000 counter-demonstrators
would assemble at the same time and
place as the Nazis. This march was averted by Decker’s 45-day ban.

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.
