Members of the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan, some of them carrying swastika emblems, were prevented by National Guardsmen from entering Cicero, Ill., yesterday.

Both groups had been ordered to keep out of Cicero after they were charged with seeking to inflame an already tense situation between white residents and civil rights advocates.
