vv York Nazi Rally
Legal Battle on Five Speech Issue
Civil Liberties Union Defends Rockwell
Mayor Robert F. Wagner of New York late Wednesday denied a
permit to Nazi leader George Lincoln Rockwell, self-styled "fuehrer"
of his "American Nazi Party", who applied for the right to hold a
rally in New York's Union Square on the
Fourth of July.
Mayor Wagner branded Rockwell as a
Hitlerite and refused to grant him the right
to fulminate anti-Semitic slogans, as he has
been doing in Washington for many months.
This action followed a court appearance
by Rockwell, and scores of protests against the
announced plans by New York City Commis-
sioner of Parks Newbold Morris to grant the
permit. The Jewish War Veterans was among
the groups that registered protests against the
projected "desecration" of Independence Day
by Rockwell's Nazi group.
Park Commissioner Morris had stated orig-
Mayor Wagner
inally that the Constitutional right of free
speech would force him to grant the permit unless Police • Commis-
sioner Stephen Kennedy foresaw the projected rally as constituting
a riot danger.
There still remains the possibility of court action against Mayor
Wagner's decision, the New York Chapter of the Civil Liberties Union
having indicated its adherence to the Constitutional principle of free
speech.
On the other hand, Michael J. Casin, commander of the New
York Council of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, issued a stp' - emient
urging "all patriotic ex-GIs to assemble in Union Square in uniform
at the time of the rally, if the permit is granted." He said: "It would
be pitiful to see the Nazi swastika desecrate the original meeting
place of the Union Army."
Scores of Protests Against Permit for Rockwell

NEW YORK —
Nazi leader George Lincoln. Rockwell was put
under police protection Wednesday morning when he appeared in
New York County Supreme Court in connection with injunction pro-
ceedings to block his scheduled rally in New York's Union Square
on July 4.
An angry, excited crowd, shouting "kill the Nazi," surrounded
Rockwell in the rotunda of the courthouse. Court guards summoned
police and the Nazi was taken, jostled but unharmed, to a private
room to await opening of the hearing.
Rockwell testified before Supreme Court Justice Vincent Lupiano
and freely admitted he had urged gas chambers for Jews. Abe Stark,
president of New York City Council; the Jewish Labor Committee, the
Jewish War Veterans and some ten other organizations filed petitions
as Friends of the Court, asking to be associated with the application
for the injunction.
Protests mounted against the scheduled rally by the American
Nazi Party. Demands were made upon Mayor Wagner and Commis-
sioner of Parks Newbold Morris to forbid the projected rally.
Among those who protested, and coupled their objections with
requests that the rally be forbidden, were Rep. Frank. J. Becker, New
York Republican, who telegraphed Wagner from Washington; Rabbi
Joachim Prinz, president of the American Jewish Congress; L. Joseph
Overton, president of the New York branch of the National Association

Compromise Appears Certain in Eichmann Case;
U. S. Takes Sympathetic Position Toward Israel
By SAUL CARSON
JTA Correspondent at the UN
Direct JTA Teletype Wires to The Jewish News
UNITED NATIONS — Israel Wednesday con-
ceded to the Security Council here that "the persons
who took Eichmann from Argentina to Israel broke
the laws of Argentina," but again officially apolo-
gized to Argentina for this violation of its
sovereignty.
Israel insisted, however, that the real question
is "a violation of the spirit of, man and of hu-
manity's conception of justice" in the fact that for
15 years Eichmann had not been brought to trial.
These were among the arguments put before
the Council by Golda Meir as she addressed the 11-
member body after Israel had been accused of vio-
lating Argentina's sovereignty and endangering the
world's peace and security in a 40-minute speech to
the Council by one of its members, Mario Amadeo,
permanent representative of Argentina.
But while the UN Security Council debate was
in progress, there remained the possibility that a
compromise will be reached in the form of Eich-
mann's return to the Argentinian Embassy in Israel,
Argentina then going through the motions of "ex-
traditing" Eichmann to Israel by returning him for
trial to Israeli authorities.
complete support for Israel in the Security Council
session on Argentina's complaint over the seizure
of Eichmann.
Henry Cabot Lodge, chief of the U.S. delegation
to the UN, stated the U.S. position to be that, once
the Security Council accepted the Argentine resolu-
ion on Eichmann, as amended, it would also take
note of the address Wednesday of Mrs. Golda Meir,
including Israel's apology to the Argentine govern-
ment, and consider that with this step taken "ade-
quate reparations" would have been made.
Israel and Argentina could then resume normal
relations and "this matter will be closed," Lodge said.

Poland to Provide Data on
Liebmann to Israeli Courts
.JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Poland will send an official, five-
man commission here to deliver to the Israel government docu-
ments pertaining to the mass extermination of Jews and non-
Jews by the Nazis, and especially connected with the wartime
activities of the Nazis' "specialist" on the murder of Jews, Adolf
Eichmann.
The Polish commission will include Prof. Kaminsky, chair-
man of the Warsaw government's Committee for the Punishment
of Nazi War Criminals, and Prof. Marks, head of the Jewish
Historical Institute at Warsaw.
Poland has indicated it would like to send a judge to sit on
the bench with the Israeli jurists when Eichmann is tried.
Poland argued that Eichmann had committed most of his crimes
on Polish territory.
International Tribunal Proposed

Pri-me Minister
David Ben-Gurion of Israel and his wife, Paula, joined President of France Charles
de Gaulle and Madame de Gaulle (right) at Elysee Palace, in Paris, last week, at
an official luncheon that was marked by ceremonial splendor.
GUATEMALA CITY — An international tribunal should
try Adolph Eichmann, with the government of Israel • acting
as the principal accuser, Israel Mendoza, one of the most
influential of newspaper columnists in this country, declared
Tuesday in La Hora, one of Guatemala's most important
newspapers.
Pointing out that Eichmann had successfully evaded arrest
for 15 years, Mendoza said that "the execution of Hitler's
lieutenant must not be delayed."
He proposed that the international tribunal to try Eich-
mann do so under the UN convention outlawing genocide.
