NOT EVERYONE applauded Rockwell, or found his
speech amusing.
Rockwell On Stage
by
Neil Hopp, Editor-in-Chief
Tony Sommer, News Editor
George Lincoln Rockwell looked across the table at
the group of reporters and opened his light green suit
coatw "I want to assure you gentlemen that I am not
heavily armed," he grinned.
He joined a group of local journalists at an informal
press conference at the Holiday Inn before his speech
% Monday night in Finch Fieldhouse.
Rockwell
wasn't in uniform; he wasn't armed. He
sat at the head of the table
in the hotel room, sucking on
a corn cob pipe, listening intently to the questions.
His answers were quick,
intelligent and he seemed
very much at ease. Whenever he made a particularly
clever comment he checked
his companions' faces to
make sure it was appreciated.
"I have found that audiences are struck with utter
perplexity to what they expected. The more the Jews
say I am a raving lunatic
madman, the more it helps
me," he said.
Screaming Maniac?
The Fuhrer of the American Nazi Party is not a
screaming maniac. He is surprisingly articulate and quick
with words. His eyes are pale
green and move quickly to
study his listeners. He is a
commanding conversationalist and seems.to enjoy the
role, gesturing frequently,
leaning forward to make a
point, constantly searching
for reactions. His humor is
]ovial, pointed but not sarcastic. He knows that he is
constantly on stage, being
evaluated by the same people he is trying to judge.
Rockwell answered questions ranging from inflation
to foreign policy.
"I'm as far right as' you
can get," he said in reference
to the position of the Nazi
Party.
He attacked the right wing,
saying "The right wing won't g
ban together because they're
too damn egotistical."
"The liberals are idealists
but conservatives aren't. How
can you be idealistic whein
your  primary  motive  is  to
save your money?" he asked.
Liberalises  -  Idealists
"The Birchers and the
Minutemen would be fine if
they would stop preaching
that they are the only solution," Rockwell claimed, adding that most right wingers
accuse him of being a communist.
"Most liberals are sincere,"
he continued, "The liberals
are the real idealists — it
takes guts to go to Mississippi
to preach civil rights."
"The trouble with all these
right wing groups is that they
sit around and wring their
hands and pray a lot. The
liberals are out in the street
fighting for their cause. The
Nazi Party is trying to get
our side out in the streets
where it can do some good."

A report from Sen. Edward Robinson (D-Dearborn) saying that the State Senate Committee's report on the investigation into faculty-administration relationships at CMU
will be out prior to June 5 prompted one investigation committee member to ask, "How?"

"That was the last I heard
