' 1111E BUNT 1EWISN inn 36' Friday, Me 30, 19711 Nazis Jeered in Chicago, Skokie Jewish Community Relieved' CHICAGO (JTA) — Shielded from an angry crowd of several thousand counter-demonstrators by some 900 Chicago police, Nazi leader Frank Collin, late Saturday afternoon, led a group of about 20 Nazis in a "victory rally" in front of the Kluczynski Federal Building in the heart of downtown Chicago. Wearing storm trooper uniforms and holding wooden shields, the Nazis stood expressionless while onlookers shouting "kill the Nazis," pelted them with rocks, eggs, bottles and other debris. Their words inaudible over the chants of the crowd, the Nazis, after 10 minutes, clicked their heels, raised their arms in the Hitler salute, shouted "sieg heil" and marched back into the building. The Nazis dubbed their appearance a "victory rally" because of a ruling last week by Federal Judge George Leighton dismissing a requirement of the Chicago Park District for_ posting a bond by the Nazis for permission to march in Marquette Park. The Nazis cancelled their march in the heavily-Jewish populated suburb of Skokie scheduled for Suilday and said they would march in the racially volatile Marquette Park district July 9. Their rally Saturday was delayed for 40 mi- nutes while Chicago Police Superintendent James O'Grady tried to convince the Nazis to call it off because he could not guarantee their phys- ical safety. The Nazis re- fused and at about 6 p.m. they were escorted from the building by a heavy cordon of police. Earlier, the Nazis were secretly brought to the fed- eral building in a U.S. mail Dan.

Asked if it was approp- riate to use a government vehicle for that purpose, a police officer admitted the action was "questionable" but, he added, "It worked." In Skokie, hundreds of Jews from across the coun- try held a solemn memorial service for -Holocaust vic- tims. Jewish community lead- ers, who admitted to being "emotionally drained" by the events of the past few weeks, expressed relief that Skokie residents were spared the trauma of reliv- ing a horrible past.

A woman demonstrator was clubbed by two Detroit policemen on Sunday dur- ing a sometimes violent pro- test outside the Nazi bookstore on Fenkell. More than 10 persons were ar- rested during the demonst- ration and two more taken into custody later during a protest at the 16th Precinct police station. Sam Yarsike witnessed the woman being hit by police officers and said it was an unprovoked attack "by two officers who used Nazi tactics" in breaking protestors' signs and strik- ing the woman when she protested.

He said that "Skokie served as an example to the whole world that you don't have to hide, you have to re- sist. You have to come out and speak up," he said.

The Jewish Community Council of Metropolitan De- troit has protested to WWJ-TV its June 22 news coverage of the bookstore. Council President John H. Shepherd said the two minutes of coverage was out of proportion to the impor- tance of the story and gave Nazi leader Bill Russell a public platform. Shepherd also pro- tested a "lighthearted moment" broadcast as part of the coverage. He said, "By showing the Nazis engaged in casual, lighthearted conversa- tion with your reporter, News 4 unwittingly con- veyed the message that Russell and his group are friendly, harmless people — which they are not." In Ann Arbor on Sunday and Monday, the Interfaith Council for Peace, the Divi- sion of Mission of Memorial Christian Church and Clergy Working for Social Justice sponsored a drive to wear yellow Stars of David in protest against "the ris- ing tide of anti-Semitism, racism and the persecution of minorities." •• • Arabs Hit Nazis WASHINGTON (JTA) — co (r) The National Association of Arab Americans, the largest group of Americans of Arab origin in the United States, has informed the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in a mailgram that it "joins other concerned Americans in opposing the Nazi march in Skokie."

The mailgram was dated be- fore the Nazis called off their march. cellation of the Nazi march in Skokie. Mann said, "The important les- son of Skokie is that the Jewish survivors of the Nazi death camps found that they were not alone as they were 40 years ago."
