Have Your Watch 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 which labeled the Rockwell community Rockwell's group is group "an enemy of the peo- headquartered, and whose vio- lent opposition to the American ple of Virginia and the United Nazis led to his sponsorship of States." ADL sources say this the bill revoking the charter— tough-worded statement will have a more far-reaChing ef- had different ideas. fect on the future of the On the question of publicity Nazis than the revocation of —long a bone of contention the charter.
