Virginia Legislature
Versus Rockwell
By HAROLD EIDLIN
(Copyright, 1962, Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)
Virginia State Legislature's
revokation of the state charter
of George Lincoln Rockwell's
American Nazi Party does not
mean an end to the activities
of the self-styled "fuehrer".
Rockwell will be free to do
exactly as he has been doing—
charter or no charter. The only
difference is that he will be
prohibited from using the words
"Nazi" or "National Socialist"
in the name of his group. This
was really the only objective of
the bill.
But this does not imply any
official state endorsement of
the Rockwell group. Far from
it. His group. and the things
for which he stands. are uni-
versally abhorred — a feeling
certainly reflected. too, among
the men and women who serve
in the Virginia Legislature.
Yet, to have done more
than revoke Rockwell's char-
ter and deny him the use of
names which are even out-
lawed in West Germany, was
as far as the legislators dared
go without running into a
nest of constitutional diffi-
culties.
passed by both Houses of the
Virginia Legislature, what hap-
pens next?
First, it should be made
aboundantly clear that revo-
cation of charter—like its is-
suance in the first place—
was in no way related to the
Legislature's official opinion
of Rockwell's organization.
The charter was issued in the
name of free speech and then
revoked because of the feeling
that it was being used to give
a false impression.
Secondly, issuance and rev-
ocation of corporate charters
is a legislative matter under
Virginia law so that no appeal
to a court is possible. It is
hardly likely, either, that Gov.
Albertis S. Harrison will veto
the bill, despite an appeal
from the Nazis to do so. All
of which means that come
June 28—when the ban goes
into effect — the Nazis will
have to decide on a new name.
Nonetheless, there is com-
plete agreement that revocation
will in no way affect Rockwell's
operations. Mann himself says
so, pointing out that numerous
groups operate in Virginia with-
out benefit of an official char-
ter—including the Republican
and Democratic Parties.
Anti-Defamation League ob-
servers are taking comfort from
another source. While they too
agree that the charter revoca-
tion at the state capital in
Richmond is meaningless in
terms of putting Rockwell out
of business, they point to a
resolution which passed the
Virginia House of Delegates but
didn't quite make it in the
State Senate.
Indeed. some of Rockwell's
staunchest enemies were op-
posed even to that legislation.
They feared that any legal ac-
tion against the Nazis could
open a Pandora's box of prece-
dents in connection with other
groups operating in the state,
and they had misgivings about
the reams of publicity Rockwell
was likely to receive from the
hearings and discussions center-
ing around the bill.
But Delegate Harrison Mann
This was the resolution
of Arlington—in whose home
