Measures Aimed At ku KIuX Kan Put Over In State
 Of Oklahoma
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. No

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla. Nov. 27. Sections of the proposed anti -Ku Klux K1an bill. which would pro hibit the wearing of masks, tres passing while disguised, assault while disguised and the sending of anonymous communications were ap- proved by the upper house of the state legislature today, marking the first victory for it's supporters in the furious controversy over the meas ure.
 Proponents of a similar act in the lower house, however, were defeated in their fight for immediate eonsid- cration when the house voted to put aside the measure until the senate finally has assented.
 Senator Harry OGlasser of Enid who led the unsuccessful fight for a provision to reveal the membership lists of secret organizations sur prised his colleagues today by de- claring that he was convinced it will be impossible to pass adequate anti lllan Legislation without compelling certain members "to abandon what they believe the principle involved in the matter" He announced that he soon will propose that both fac tions draft substitutes to the bill under consideration each to be sub mitted to the people in special elec- tion
 Spirited debate ruled in the senate again today, accompanied by num- erous amendments; and while the action in the lower house was mere brief. it equalled in heat that which trans pired in the upper branch.
 The entire morning session of the senate was devoted to a conflict over section three of the measure the anti-mask clause. Substitute after substitute for minor admendment adopted late yesterday came under fire, Just before the noon recess the so-called "klan group" conceded its approval of an amendment offered by Senator l.. l.. West of Hydro. also a minor provision, and this paved the way for adoption of the entire sec ton by a viva voce vote.

to hire all the extras within tele-
phone range of the picture colony

Legion's stadium was turned over to
the director and something like 5000
extras were seated about the ringside
when Kenneth Harlan and middle
weight fighter were to meet in a
fistic contest that serves as a climax
to the story. Since the most lowly
extra is paid So a day and the more

be easily estimated.
