Gerald L.K. Smith, leading nationalist and anti-semite, was yesterday prevented from holding a meeting in Old South Meeting House here when a crowd estimated at 700 shouted, booed and stamped their feet so that he could not be heard above the din.
Smith was escorted from the hall by police, who then broke up the meeting, which had been called under the auspices of the Christian Nationalist Crusaders. He charged that the Communist Party had organized the demonstration. A spokesman for the B’nai B’rith Anti-Defamation League said after the meeting that the demonstrators were "Communist-inspired."
