George Lincoln Rockwell, head of the American Nazi party, addressed a group of 275 students of the University of Chicago here last night at a campus meeting heavily guarded by police. The students were admitted by invitation only. Two persons were arrested for disorderly conduct at the meeting and a non-student member of the Jewish War Veterans was asked to leave when it was found that he had entered with false credentials.
Rockwell, who was laughed at and Jeered through a good part of his address, told the group that he was an admirer of Elijah Muhammad, leader of the Black Muslim sect.
