Nazi march a joke
but still not funny
PHILADELPHIA (JTA)—A
series of events suggesting a hoax
against the local Jewish
community came to an abrupt end
last Friday morning in federal
court when U.S. District Court
Judge Clifford Green ordered
withdrawal of a permit fora march
Sunday (Feb. 25) by a mysterious
individual identifying himself as
the leader of a Nazi party. The
National Park Service, which had
issued the permit for the march at
Independence Mall to a James
'Guttman on Feb. 20, followed
through on Green’s order by
cancelling the permit.
Disclosure that the permit had
been issued for a march by “100”
Nazi party members touched off
action for an injunction to bar the
march, and plans for counter
demonstrations by the Jewish War
Veterans and the Philadelphia
Jewish Community t Relations
Advisory Council (JCRC).
The injunction was sought by
the City of Philadelphia, the
Association for Jewish New
Americans, a survivors group, and
Brith Sholom. The hearing on the
injunction application began last
Thursday in Green’s court but the
judge postponed the hearing until
10 a.m. Friday, giving Guttman
until then to appear in court to
prove his constitutional right to
the permit and the march.
Guttman has not been seen since
he went to the National Park
Service office, which is in charge of
Independence Mall, and obtained
the permit.
Officials said Guttman had
listed a P. O. Box as his address and
the name of Frank Collin, leader of
the Nazi group in Chicago who
obtained worldwide publicity last
year when he announced plans to
stage a march ia Skokie, Ill., ynd
switched it to a rally in Chicago.
Collin was reported to have said he
had never heard of Guttman, and
that there was no Nazi party in
Philadelphia.
Solomon Fisher, president of
the JCRC, declared in a statement
issued after the permit was
cancelled that the JCRC asked “all
appropriate governmental officials
to investigate these events fully and
completely" and prosecution “to
the fullest of the law” for “any
criminal acts” perpetrated “in this
matter.” Fisher expressed
gratitude for “the many acts of
kindness that so many people-
blacks and whites, Christians and
Jews—willingly performed during
this period.” The non-Jews helped
to prepare materials for the
counter-demonstration and
offered to march in the projected
counter-demonstration.
KKK active in N. Carolina;
white sheet show draws flak
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.
4JTA)—The Anti-Defamation
League of B’nai B’rith denounced
plans for a Ku Klux Klan
exhibition in the city's main library
including a Klan flag, Confederate
uniforms, Klan literature, hoods,
robes and pictures of Robert E.
Lee.
Norman Olshansky, ADL’s
North Carolina-Virginia regional
director, charged Forsyth County
library director, William A.
Roberts III, with public support of
an organization advocating white
domination, anti-Semitism and
which has a long history of
violence.
The-library official claims the
Klan exhibit is in response to
“Black History Month” now being
nationally observed. Ofshansky
dismissed the explanation as a
“specious and flimsy canard.”
Olshansky said “Allowing the
Klan to display all its
paraphernalia—its hoods, robes
and such anti-Semitic and racist
publications as ‘The Crusader’—is
tantamount to promoting and
supporting the KKK's philos
ophy.”
He stated that the library display
is the latest manifestation of an
increase in Klan activity since
David Duke, head of the Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan, visited
Winston-Salem in the fall.
In addition to the library
exhibit, the Klan also obtained a
permit to hold a promotional rally
in a public school, and permission
to use the library during regular
hours to exhibit and promote its
racist organization. The only
official rejection to KKK requests
occurred when Mayor Wayne A.
Corpening refused to declare
Robert E. Lee’s birthday “White
Pride Day.” Olshansky praised the
local clergy association for
decrying “public support of this
organization known for its overt
bigotry.”
