This action was taken pursuant to an act of the 1962 Virginia Assembly which prohibits use of "Nazi" or “National Socialism" in a Virginia charter. This article further pointed out that ROCKWELL's Party is presently chartered in the State of Virginia as the George Lincoln Rockwell Party. On August 14, 1964, a source advised that the ANP - WUFENS was organized by GEORGE LINCOLN ROCKWELL at his residence in Arlington, Virginia, on February 26, 1959, as an international National Socialist” movement based on the Gernan Nazi Party headed by ADOLF HITLER, He added that ROCKWELL is the dominant force and personality in this party; tnat he is espousing a “line” of hatred against the Jews and Negroes; and that he is seeking through speeches, distribution of literature and picketing, to establish a cohesive and dominant political party in the United States and in foreign countries. According to the "Stormtroopar's Manual," an official Publication of the ANP, the phases of ‘ANP struggle for power are fourfold, namely, first "to make ourselves known to the masses” second, "the dissemination of our program and truth about the Party"; third, “organizing the people who have been corverted to our propaganda"; and fourth, “the attainment of power through the votes of the newly-won masses.” On September 16, 1965, the source advised that GEORGE LINCOLN ROCKWELL believes he has compieted the first three phases in his struggle for power and is cow into the fourth stage. Lo wit, the "attainment of power through ta: votes of the aswiy-won masses." The source stated ROCKWELL believes this because of his success in gaining a place on the ticket in the November, 196i gubernatorial election in the State of Virginia.APPENDIX AMERICAN NAZI PARTY, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS A source advised on November 14, 1960, that on that date a meeting was held in Chicago, Illinois, for the purpose of organizing a Chicago unit of the American Nazi Party(ANP) which maintains headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.

The NSRP believes that there should not be race mixing between whites and Negroes and that Negroes in the United States by conducting demonstrations and causing riots are causing a break- down of law and order in. the United States. The NSRP also believes that the Jewish people are financing many of the Negro demonstra- tions, and,therefore, the Jewish people are responsible for race miximg and the breakdown of law and order in the United States. The NSRP believes that the Jews and the Negroes should be exposed in their attempts to have integration between whites and Negroes.1 APPENDIX NATIONAL STATES RIGHTS PARTY (NSRP) On November 26, 1957, a source advised that the United White Party (UWP) was organized at a convention held in Knoxville, Tennessee, on November 10, 1957, An article in the November 26, 1957, issue of the "Greenville Piedmont," a newspaper of Greenville North Carolina, reported "the recent formation of a new political party, to be known as the United White Party."

The injunction which was issued by Ji t, was brought in the name of Police and named Martin Luther King and his top aids as defendants, The relief it granted restricts demonstrators to 500 in number, prohibits night marches, and provides 24 hours notice by the above groups to police authorities regarding their demonstration intentions.

The "Chicago American" issue of August 19, 1966, reveals that Chicago's Mayor Daley would appear on television the evening of August 19, 1966, to explain the reason for the injunction to the people of Chicago. This article also stated that meeting held August 19, 1966, bythe civil rights and community leaders involved a discussion of implementation of open housing in Chicago, Al Raby, Coordinating Council of Community Organizations (CCCO) Convenor and CFM official, was quoted as saying, "We got nothing owt cf it concerning real Problems." A source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised,on, August 19, 1966, that the temporary restraining order issued August 19, 1966, by Circuit Judge Cornelius Harrington restricts marches as follows: Twenty-four hour notice of march must be given, b6 No march in more than one area, oo No more, than 500 marchers, Marches must be held during daylight hours and not during peek traffic periods, Source ad: © order is enforceable pending a hearing on a permane: m calling for the same restrictions.

This source stated that Doctor Martin Luther King classified the order as a tragedy on the their efforts, He reportedly stated he was going to study the order but did not feel it would stand a Federal Court test. He also stated "we have violated injunctions before in the south" but would not say his group would violate this order pending a study of it. Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley in a television address at 10:00 p.m. August 19, 1966, stated essentially as follows: The right of petition by demonstrations has never been questioned and is not being questioned in this instance. The injunction is not an effort to interfere with this right but only an effort to have reasonable demonstrations and to end the type of demonstration which has adversely affected the rights of all other citizens of Chicago and that demonstrations have made it impossible for police to protect the lives «== and property of all citizens. Civil rights leaders have consistently failed to properly inform the Chicago Police Department of their plans, routes, numbers, and destinations. The marches have also been held at night and at’rush hours and in such a manner as to tax the resources of the Chicago Police Department. Disorders in the neighborhoods during demonstrations have resulted primarily from the influx of outside extremists of all persuasions rather than primarily from residents of march areas. Marches are arousing hatred and civil rights issues are being reduced tothe level of street riots, It was stressed that the injunction was not an effort to interfere in such fashion as to interfere with Qonstitutional right of protest only to regulate marches in such fashion as to protest the Constitutional rights, safety and property of all the citizens of Chicago.DEMONSTRATION BY CHICAGO FRE! !OM MOVEMENT ~ SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP CONYERENCE NATIONAL STATES RIGHTS PARTY AMERICAN NAZI PARTY NATIONAL KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN DEACONS OF DEFENSE AND JUSTIO!
