 He said the bill contained funds to enable the Territory to start in the Humanitarian task of conquer ing tuberculosis" The Delegate ex- plained that the disease WAs the scourge of Alaskz.

LAST PUDDLE IS ON TODAY
 ON MEASURE
Legislation May Go Back 10 House FIoor-Porfer
 Gives His Views
tBy The Associated Press)

Representative of the House and
 Senate will go into another huddle
 today, and it may be their last
 chance to reach a compromise on price control.
 1 So far, the House delegation has refused to accept those provisions of the Senate OPA bill that would outlaw any future price controls on meat, eggs, milk and other basic food products.
 If the joint conference cannot reach some kind of an in-between
 settlement, the question may be
 taken back to the House floor. for a vote on whether or not to accept
 the Senate bill as it now stands. Administration leaders want to
 avoid that possibility. President
 Truman has condemned the Senate
 bill, and indicated thae he would veto it if it came to his desk-and that would mean more delay in bringing price controls back to life.
 OPA Chief Paul Porter went on the air today to broadcast Cover ABC) warning that it may not be possible to restore price controls to
 the level of June 30, when his agency
 passed out of existence. Porter said Perhaps some of the damage of the last three weeks can't be repaired. But he added that lot of price controls can be put back, and price increases that. are threat ening can be stopped.
 The Price Administrator said he
 hopes no one gets the idea that the sudden flow of meat to market since the death of OPA will continue, even if price controls are kept off He pointed out that the flood of livestock includes many hogs and cattle that were held back during May and June while Congress was debating the future of price con- trol. Moreover, he said, there is an acute shortage of grain, and without grain as feed you can't expect large quantities of meat.
 Porter tied in his warning with promise that if ceilings are restored, OPA will be ready to eliminate controls on an important number of items. He said OPA expects to ! grant whole series of price in- creases on building materials, to encourage construction of homes.

LOUISIANA APPEALED FOR
 HELP

Governor Parker, who was no carpetbagger, had to take the un- usual step of appealing to Federal officials to help him keep order inside the State of Louisiana. This was in 1922, not 1870. He reported that state officials could not cope with the "horrifyirg crimes of the Klan. A sufer-Government had been created, more powerful than the State Government because it was invisible. Local police were powerless.
 It was impossible in some states to be elecrLo without joining or lowing before the will of the Klan. Its membership grew in 1922 at the rate of 3,5cG a day By 1925 it had 8,904,871 members.
 And yet il had mushroomed from nothing. People had laughed at it, advised that it be ignored The Klan will dIe natural death, they said. Once it got started, however, the opposite was true It seemed nothing could stop the power of the XXX. Laws were passed forbidding hooded ordera. The Klan was de- bated at t'.e Democratic National Convention ic 1924, but in the end the Convention dared not go on record specifically against it.
 The Klan's greatest strength lay in the fact that it was the first organization III the USA to adopt the block-by block system of se- curing memocrship. The CLOS Pol itical Action Committee has been credited with originating the block by-block system, but the Klan had proved the efficiency of this system Is years before.
 Prior to tho Klan, political lead CTS thought they were good when they organized county or even a township. But the Klan wasted nc time with such piddling methods. It sent it's solicitors to every house in the block. The membership had real incentive, for the solicitor got cut on the $10 initiation fee while the Grand Dragon also got his cut ana the Kleagle and the Imperial Wizard also got theirs. Il was one of the wealthiest rackets ever operated in the USA-all built on hate.
 With this close-knit political organization, the Klan could elect almost any nan to office, and, once elected, the Wizards and tht Kleagules required just two pay offs: Police protection and State contracts.
 When the hooded order went out at night, it expected-and got l immunity rom the police. To be sure, this meant system whereby I one Government operated inside another Government. But that made no difference, for one was elected by the other and the elected
