Skokie Leaders Fear JIM, March
May Have Achieved Nazis' Goals
SKOKIE, Ill. (JTA)—A
leader of the Skokie Jewish
community denounced the
Jewish Defense League
Tuesday for stirring up
"the fears of our people"
that Nazis would eventually
win their court battle to
march through this heavily-
Jewish suburb of Chicago.
Sol Goldstein, a board mem-
ber of the Jewish United
Fund (JUF) of Metropol-
itan Chicago, was referring
a statement to that effect
__4 Rabbi Meir Kahane at a
JDL rally staged here Mon-
day.
The rally was held de-
spite the fact that a threat-
ened July 4 Nazi march
was called off in com-
pliance with a court in-
junction obtained by the Vil-

lage of Skokie in support of
its ordinances barring the
march. Kahane exhorted a
crowd estimated at 400 to
"kill Nazis now" and
"every Jew a .22."
Frank Collin, leader of
the so-called National So-
cialist Party of America,
told the Chicago Daily
News that the JDL rally
"sets a marvelous prece-
dent thpt the Skokie ordi-
nances.{ are invalid" and
that "the Jews played di-
rectly into our hands."
The aim of the Jewish
community was to reduce
tension and for that reason
the JUF's public affairs
committee cancelled what
was to have been a "Patri-
otic American Rally" at the
Meyer Kaplan Jewish Com-
munity Center. "We had
cancelled a rally of local
Jewish residents of Skokie
purposely because such a
rally could only serve to en-
large the fears of our
people even though the
Nazi march had been avert-
ed," Goldstein said.
"To have the Jews of the
JDL stir up these same
fears and apprehensions for
their own purposes is un-

forgiveable. By their ac-
tions and by their allega-
tions that the Nazis will win
in court the right to march
in Skokie, the JDL has
come close to accom-
plishing what the Nazis
themselves set out to do,"
he said.
The JDL held its rally on
the parking lot of the JCC
after being refused per-
mission to use the building.
About 40 JDLers who came
to Skokie from other cities
were disarmed by police of
clubs, baseball bats and
metal pipes they were car-
rying.
But Skokie Village Presi-
dent Albert J. Smith said
their rally was legal be-
cause it was held on private
property. He said the Nazis
could hold a similar rally if
they could obtain the use of
private property.
Meanwhile, representa-
tives of national and local
Christian organizations is-
sued a July 4 call to reli-
gious leaders to condemn
the Nazi party as contrary
to Judeo-Christian tradi-
tions and the ideals of
American democracy.
