The annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People here was disturbed by four American Nazi storm troopers who shouted anti-Semitic slogans. The Nazi group appeared in front of the Statler Hilton Hotel where the NAACP held its 57th annual convention and shouted: "It is time for the whites and the blacks to stand up together against the Jews. Don’t let a Jew lead you." Negro delegates expressed their regrets over the anti-Semitic shouting.
