THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Organizations Plan Response
to KKK-Nazi Parade in Detroit
Six affiliates of the
Jewish Community Council
met this week to map a
common strategy to deal
witha proposed Nazi-Ku
Klux Klan march in De-
troit.
The march, originally
scheduled for Aug. 23, the
anniversary of the 1967
death of American Nazi
Party founder George Lin-
coln Rockwell, has been
postpOned by the Nazi-KKK
organizers.
William Russell of the
Nazi group announced that
the parade would not be
held Aug. 23 because the
Detroit City Council did not
give them the Woodward
route that was requested
and because "the Commies"
would attack the parade.
Communist groups have
threatened violence if the
parade were held, following
the deaths of several Com-
munists during an anti-
Klan march in the South
this spring.
The Jewish groupg
attending this week's
meeting to find a common
means fo dealing with the
proposed parade in-
cluded the Detroit Zionist
Federation, the Zionist
Organization of
America-Detroit District,
Jewish War Veterans,
Pioneer Women, Chil-
dren of Holocaust Sur-
vivors in Michigan and
the Detroit Rabbinical
Commission.
JCCouncil activities con-
cerning the situation were
reported upon. These have
included the council-
NAACP formation of an ad
hoc coalition of community
organizations to respond to
the Nazi-Klan permit re-
quest.
The council-initiated
group will be producing a
newsletter, to be distributed
to community organiza-
tions, churches and
synagogues, which will
focus on activities in the De-
troit area that promote
brotherhood, as opposed to
the Nazi-Klan emphasis on
hatred and devisiveness.
It was agreed at the meet-
ing that the Nazi-KKK
quest for publicity not be
inadvertently aided. In
addition, caution was ex-
pressed concerning direct
confrontation.. It was noted
that recent Nazi-KKK his-
tories reveal a penchant for
violent confrontation.
Though there was no
clear consensus on actions
to be taken, members were
urged to coordinate their
own planned responses with
the council. In addition,
synagogues will be
encouraged to use the occa-
sion to 'call attention to
Nazi-Klan philosophy as
compared to Jewish com-
mitment to democratic val-
ues.
Bomb Injures 5 in Israeli Park
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Five people were injured
last Saturday when a bomb
exploded in Canada Park
near the Jerusalem-Tel
Aviv highway. Ronen
Hadad, 11, of Bat Yam, was
critically injured with head,
chest and leg injuries.
The Palestine Liberation
Organization claimed re-
sponsibility for the bomb
blast which occurred
shortly before noon when
the park was crowded with
thousands of people.
The bomb was planted in
a nylon bag inside a tree
trunk. Police bomb experts
said the explosive was of the
kind used by terrorist
organizations. Dozens of
Arabs who were in the park
at the time of the explosion
were detained for question-
ing, but were released
shortly afterwards.
The park, one of the most
popular resorts in the area,
attracts visitors from the
entire central region each
weekend. It is located near
the Latrun monastery at
the intersection of the roads
leading to Jerusalem, Tel
Aviv, Beersheba and
Ramallah.
