George Rockwell’s American Nazi Party, which has been demonstrating repeatedly here for the last three weeks against Negro rights marchers, announced last night that he would lead his adherents in a march into a Jewish neighborhood, as yet unidentified, next Sunday.
His local Nazi leader, Christopher Vindjevich, spelled out the aim of the projected march as outright anti-Semitic by declaring that, in the civil rights movement, “the Jews are the real trouble-makers.” He added: “They’re the ones. We’re going to march right through their neighborhoods and spit in their eyes.”
Rockwell made his announcement about future rallies at a meeting last night attended by only 100 persons. But it was Vindjevich who, while speaking of a planned “nonviolent” march, and calling for police protection, charged that the police “harassment” of Nazis in this city was due to “Jewish influence. “
