The war hasn't disturbed their associa tion .. On March 26, 1943, Cong. Jerry -Voorhis introduced resolution urg- ihg Congress to investigate the bank. The resolution was promptly plgeon-holed . . Why?
 Plans to probe the Ku Klux Hunks are wrapped in a shroud. Such plans usually grab newspaper space and then die of neglect .. The Klan ostensibly disbanded year ago, but the hooded hoodlums nave been popping up again dis guised with new names Dca't deiude yourself with the idea that the Klan is as dead as it should De. Remember that when the Klan craWled underground Klan chief James A. Colescott stated: q am still the leader of the klan.

 No vaudeville magician has been able to match the hocus- -pocus which causes Investigations to vanish. Not so long ago Washington Grand Jury announced it was probing Ham Flsh's alleged connections with Nazi sympathizers.

 The Detroit race riots left an in- dellble blot on America. In the wake of that tragedy came >vidence revealing that various Detroit Hit lerooting outfits helped inCite the riots with the venomOus propd- ganda =. Detroit officials proposed probes to get at the roots of the poison. Then, after public lndigna- tion cooled off - the investigations were given the cold shoulder.
