The American Nazi party, having changed its name and “taunted out some very irresponsible people,” has re-emerged as the National Socialist White People’s party with plans to rally white youth and factory workers to “move the world.” Frank Collin, 25-year-old Midwest coordinator, divulged this blueprint last Friday night at a press conference that was otherwise attended by only four “storm troopers.” Mr. Colin, who declined to give the size of the party except to say it was “very small,” declared that the New Left, the militant Students for a Democratic Society and SDS’ ultra-militant Weathermen were Jew-run “enemies of the white community.” He said the party’s “main objection to Jews is that they are involved in communism” and exploit American Negroes, who should be “repatriated back to Africa.” Mr. Collin spoke in Rockwell hall, a storefront with boarded windows, named after the party’s assassinated leader, George Lincoln Rockwell. He and his uniformed cohorts wore black swastikas on red armbands. A large picture of Hitler was prominently displayed.
