zen of the United States of Amer ica, being white male, Gentle. person of temperate habits, sound in mind and believer in the ten- cts of the Christian religion, main. tenance of white supremacy, prin- ciples of pure Americanism,' do. most respectfully apply for mem bership in the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan." What a piece of mis- chief that is! One can just envi- sion all of the gullible, giddy, lily white, egro-hatng. Jew-baiting, Protestant Christians rushing up to sign these cards in the renewed drive of the K1an.
 But the American people shall not be fooled this time; we have finished a war for Democracy abroad; but we have only begun it here. We have seen Adolf Hit ler's divided-and-conqu scape- goat tactics reduce the German peo pie to rot and ruin. We shall not wait for a similar fate in the Land of The Free" Today the Klan has announced it's rebirth tomorrow we must celebrate it's funeral. Our answer can be plain. It can definite; it can be final. Immediate passage of FEPC leg islation in Massachusetts and other states can be very vital part of that answer. Complete
 unity between Jews and Chris tians, white and black, Protestants and Catholics, throughout this country in support of organized labor, in behalf of a liberal and progressive electorate in 1948, is also part of the answer.

REAPPEAR; BUT THEY
 MIST DIE

Once again the monstrOus XXX dares to unmask it's hideous form
 to the open views of the American
 people. But there is an answer to
 these hooded rascals. The people black and white, Protestant and
 Catholic, Jew and Gentle, united, are much wiser than ever before. They will not be fooled. Like
 something that creeps in the night
 thes sinister scoundrels emerge from the safety of war which was fought to preserve their fil- thy hides with their familiar out worn cries of "white supremacy" and Christian purity" While from Atlanta last week there came the audacious official announcement of the re-opening of the Klan by I'm peria1 Wizard Robert Green, the democratic State of New York he roically prepared, once and for all, to outlaw the organization within it's borders. Massachusetts and all other truly American communities must prepare to do likewise.
 It is not commonly known that the XXX, the most irreligious of organizations, has the temerity to declare itself Christian in purpose and intent. Probably many a poor unsuspecting ignoramus is misled by that slogan. The early history of the organization shows a long record of both ministers and lay men of the white Protestant churches who have been connected with Involves in saints cloth ing.

setts there is representative named Connolly - MT. Robert G.
 Connolly. In a column like this
 one, which usually deals with the
 broader, more basic problems, lit tie people like MT. Robert G. Con
 molly are seldom mentioned; he
 would not be mentioned now, in
 fact, were it not that MT. Robert
 G. Connolly represents one of the
 most outstanding examples of re-
 cent years of the advent of Ku
 Klux Klan tactics into the Massa-
 chusetts area. As an outstanding
 example, therefore, and decidedly
 NOT as anything you have any
 other reason for remembering, please permit me to bring you a
 few facts in MT. Robert G. Con-
 nolly's history.
 You'd Have To See Him
 I will not make any attempt
 here to describe the picturesque,
 the comic-opera appearance of
 MT. Robert c. Connolly on the
 State House floor. No matter how
 serious the legislation at hand, no
 matter how grave the crisis, no
 matter how many millions of dol
 lars are involved of the money of the taxpayers (who MUST have
 elected hin), no matter how great the possible effect on the welfare of the people, MT. Connolly finds time for his pseudo-clever little sallies, his pouter-pigeon strut
 across the Legislature floor, his
 back-slapping and his horseplay. I couldn't describe it; you'd have to see, him to believe it. Even then you might doubt your own eyes. Here, you would say, is some mis- placed Eddie Cantor, some min strel end-man consigned by error to a law-making chamber. You'd say that that is, until his stock of three or four inane wise-cracks began to pail on you, then you'd probably say something more db- scene.
 Comes The Dawn
 Just about the time that Mir. Robert c. Connolly's thin store of corny hlnnor began playing out, several things would hit you all of sudden: you'd realize that instead of a harmless legislative buffoon, in MT. Robert G. Connol- Iy you have IDENT1CALLY THE SAME THING, POS s IB L Y EVEN 4 WORSE THING, IN THE MASSACHUSETTS LEGIS- THAT THEODORE BIJBO IS IN THE UNITED CONGRESS. Don't take my word for this; let's compare the men. When one of his fellow attempted to draw a perfectly valid comparison last week by asking Where was the Bill of Rights when churches were being burned in Massachusetts ?" MT. lConnolly's strategy was to accuse the other representative of having been descended from al grandfather who burned a Baptist Church; he repeated this asinine statement a full week later, ada ing that the grandfather had been for church Gburning. Bilbo at his worst during the Dies Committee and the FEPC hearings never affronted the voters who paid his salary more grossly. Smear Campaign, Connolly Style
 It was not in this, though, that MT. Connolly achieved a place in the Hall of Fame of the Klan. No; his crowning achievement was to come a week later, last Tuesday, when MT. Connolly reached down into the bottom of the barrel and came up with a vicious, a slimy, a desecrable campaign of race-and religious hatred THAT BILBO

"oCHO DL 1T 1So'Oh@ ABLE TO EMULATE. SLet's stop talking about minority groups
 said, this stalwart representative of the people of Roslindale; Lets be specific. We mean the Negroes and the Jewsp' Having thus paved the way for the rest of his remarks to be taken on a fully prejudlced
 basis, he then dipped more deeply
 into the slime he loved to touch. "The Negroes who have been filling
 those galleries aren't behind thls
 bill," he ranted; "the Jews are
 the ones with the money to sup
 port the high-priced pressure that
 has been put on it. Those Negroes probably didn't even have the dime
 carfare to reach the State House! And There Was More Of Same
 This wasn't all of the fascist outourst of MT. Robert G. Connol- ly; there was considerably more
 of the same While not disputing
 the possibility that there. was more
 wealth owned by the residents
 (non-Jewish) on Beacon Hill than the combined wealth of all the Jews in Boston, he added merely that if this was so, "in, three or four generations the Jews will
 have taken it, anyway" In this vein, with this slime, with these typically Goebbelsian tactcs, did a duly elected q assume) legisla- tor in the Massachusetts General Court show his opposition to a piece of legislation that a major ity of his more rational colleagues deemed needed.
 It Isn't Funny
 In case you are one of those who have seen just enough of the pompous, strutting, wise-cracking representative from Jamaica Plain to thing his cute, let me warn you against any such attitude, Adolph Hitler with his funny little nous tache was just as comical in the Munich beer halls in the early Twenties. If you are inclined to say eve don't have to worry, there are plenty of decent men in the Legislature" let me also warn YOU: Bilbo is surrounded by some of the most decent men in the country, but he do S a whale of a lot of damage in a Congress siona1 session. And the Reichstag the German Parliament = was virtually LOADED DOWN with decent Germans when the Austrian paper-hanger began his rise to the terrible power which, based on just such mob appeals as MT. Rob- ert G. 'Connolly's last Tuesday - wiped millions of people from the face of Europe in a single decade. He Doesn't Belong
 No, Robert e. Connolly isn't funny; he isn't too small to be taken seriously, he isn't to be ig- nored. In a state like Massachu- sets, where freedom and justice | are traditional, is the place to purge the legislative halls of all influences which would take the seed of fascism we stamped out in Europe and transplant it into America, soil. There is no place in the American scheme of things for men in politics who have to appeal to the basest impulses in us to win their points. MT. Robert G. Connolly was scraping the bottom | of the barrel when he made his vii cious attack on the Negroes and the Jews in the State House last | Tuesday, and the voters of Ward Nineteen were scraping even low CT on the bottom of the political barrel when they sent MT. Connol- ly to the House of Representa- tives. I can only hope and trust | that they will never. make a mis- take like that again.
