pany, publishers. Now on the courts
docket is the case Of former Gov
Walton of Oklahoma appealing from
his impeachment resulting from his
fight with the Klan.
In the papers filed with the court
today the Knights Of the Ku Klux
Khan, Inc, are asking the court to re-
view denial Of an injunction, by the
second federal circuit court OF ap-
peals to restrain the Hearst maga-
zine from publishing the alleged
stolen papers. The Klan brief de-
clared that an important principle
was at stake in that the lower court,
while sustaining its property rights
In the papers being published, denied
the injunction, although the publish
ers merely stated, without a scintilla
of proof, that complainant Is engaged
in a conspiracy against the United
States" This presents an issue
grave and far-reaching In effect"
said the Klan brief. declaring:
"It is admitted that complainant is
lawfully organized: it is nowhere al
legged that complainant is or has
been charged with any crime by the
government or by any individual
through authorities constituted for
that purpose"

magazine publishers denied that the
alleged stolen papers had been
proved to be the Klan's property
Some, it was asserted, were secured
from the Department Of Justice and
some from private files of Khan Of
ficers.
Another point OF opposition given
was because the complainant is en-
gagged in a sinister, unlawful and un-
American propaganda and activities,
ana because, being engaged in the
business of stimulating public opin-
lon and in endeavoring to shape the
conduct of government, its business
Is OF such a character that 1t Is i'm

The parade was part of the educa-
