"In addition, the number of participants attending

the vigil has increased over the weeks from 22

to 40 to 48 persons.

Seltzer urged all present

to try to get more people to join their ranks

on Saturday at the vigil.

"A committee was formed tostry and raise

funds to meet printing expenses.

$59.50 was

collected from those present.

"A committee was also formed to contact

various religious leaders in Dallas and try to

gain additional religious support for the vigil.

"The presence of the storm troopers of the

Dallas American Nazi Party (ANP) at the vigil site

was discussed at great length.

It was the general

opinion of those present that the storm troopers

were getting more publicity than the peace vigil

people.

Also, the spectators at the vigil site

were causing trouble and the vigil committee

feared violence might erupt. The vigil committee

characterized Alvis Gray, the ANP storm trooper

leader who has been giving speeches at the demon-

stration as malajusted, red-faced fool.

"It was the general opinion of those present

at the meeting that if violence erupted at the

vigil site it would be due to the group of anti-

nazi spectators who try to harass Al Gray and the

other storm troopers.

"Seltzer stated that the American Civil

Liberties Union was being called upon to deter-

mine if the rights of the peace demonstrators

was being violated as a result of the Dallas

Police Department officials taking photographs

of the demonstrators.

"Seltzer announched that there would be a

54 hour peace vigil in Dallas from 12 noon, Good
