Mayor Wagner of New York announced at City Hall today that George Lincoln Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party, will not receive a permit to speak in New York “on July 4th or any other time.” He said that an attempt by Rockwell to speak in this city was “an invitation to riot and disorder from a half-penny Hitler. The invitation is declined. ”
The Mayor warned that “left to their own devices, the people of this city would stone Rockwell out of town. ” He said he believed the New York Police Department could halt any riot, “but no police force can prevent a riot from starting.”
