Nazi march
draws protest...
ST. LOUIS (JTA)-The Jewish
Community Relations Council of
St. Louis has reaffirmed a position
to seek a quarantine of a planned
march and rally of the National
Socialist Party here this month.
Norman Stack, JCRCexecutive
director, said the march and rally
were scheduled in connection with
a planned “national convention”
of the American Nazis on March
II. Walter Able, St. Louis
assistant highway director, said the
local Nazi group had been issued a
permit to stage a parade on the
city’s south side in conjunction
with the convention. Able said the
parade permit could be revoked if
the threat of violence arose.
Stack told the JTA that he
doubted there was a single Jewish
family in the city’s south side and
that, in this respect, the situation
was markedly different from the
Chicago suburb of Skokie, where
another tiny band of American
Nazis is seeking court permission,
in a lengthy court battle, to march
with swastikas through an area
which is the home of 7000
Holocaust survivors.
Stack said the virtual absence of
Jews along the planned St. Louis
Nazi march route and the site of the
planned rally, as well as the
convention site, meant that there
was no likelihood of clashes from
local Jews, but admitted there had
been “threats of violence,” which
he declined to amplify. He said he
understood the city permit for the
march was for 100 marchers but he
doubted that many would show.
He said the local Nazi group was
“less than a dozen" in membership.
He said that probelms might
develop for the March II
convention from an announce
ment that the local Nazi “leader”
has been arrested for buying and
selling stolen property.
... as JDL warns
of violent acts
ST. LOUIS—The City of St.
Louis has refused to give the
Jewish Defense League a permit to
march at the identical location,
time and date as the upcoming
Nazi march.
JDL. National Director Bonnie
Pechter and Chief of Security
Simon Greenstein flew to St. L.ouis
on February 22 in hopes that their
actions would cause the city of St.
L.ouis to revoke the permit of the
Nazi party which will rally on
March 11 The Nazis were recently
issued a permit with the stipulation
that there would be no threat of
violence
Immediately thereafter, JDL
threatened violence in hopes that
the city would cancel the march
When the city failed to respond to
JDL threats, the leaders flew out
there to apply for the identical
permit to impress city officials that
the threats of violence will turn
into a reality if the Nazis march.
The JDL leaders were told by
police officials that they have no
intentions of cancelling the permit,
and that their main concern was
one of public safety. They said that
if the Nazis had the permit
revoked, they might show up
anyway and cause a police-Nazi
confrontation. The JDL leaders
pointed out that if they don’t
revoke the permit, there would be
additional problems from Jews
who would attempt to stop the
march. The police also argued that
the Jewish leaders were not
opposed to the march.
