Nationwide Probe
DimS Future OF
ku kIux Khan

Washington, D. C. - Attacks
by State and Federal Governments
have either halted the, revival Of
the Ku Klux Khan or caused it to
go underground.
I Spearheaded by the fearless at
tack of Governor Ellis Arnall OF
Georgia, the Khan has been the
target of public indignation and
legal action in New York, Ken
lucky and California. According
to the United Press, the following
is a section by section account of
the Klan's present national stat
us:
New England States The
Khan never has been active in this
section and there is no evidence of
any activity now.
New York - xxx charter re-
| voked in July after brief flare
! pin the Metropolitan New York
| area. A Federal Investigation
found four Khan Klaverns opera
ting one Of whose officers was
working as steward for the
knights of Columbus in Hunting
ton, l.. |.
New JERSEY = State action
pending to revoke Khan charter;
Klansmen and German Bundsmen
allegedly fraternized at Camp
Nordland, Sussex County, in 49,
40.
Outlawed in Kentucky
Kentucky - The Khan was out
Iawed by State order or charges
that it was fostering racial and
religious hatred and prejudice
through terrorism and propagan-
d."
Penn. = Police investigation
under way following complaint by
New York State Supreme Court
Judge Meier, Steinbrink, head of
the Bnai Birth Authorization
League. xxx State charter laps
ed in 1888 and Kluxers now ~
ing low, dabbling slightly in local
politics.
South Carolina = Khan charter
lapsed several years ago and OPP
erations under cover since then.
xxx Columbia, but cross-burning
incidents in back country Negro
sections dismissed by authorities
as "Schoolboy pranks."
Active in Georgia
Georgia = Vigorous organizing
drive under way throughout the
state, touched off by mammoth
cross-burnings on Stone Mt.
Florida = Khan openly revived
last month under charter issued
in September, 1914. Strength Of
Florida Khan thus far is believed
small and no effect has been made
to suppress it.
Mississippi - No open activity
and no effort by state to ban the
organization. Senator Bilbo
(Dem) won nomination on white
supremacy campaign and &C
knowledged membership in Khan.
Cross burnings in Jackson Negro
centers reputedly were aimed at
frighe Negro workers out Of
union lions.

Signs of Khan revival, but not at

in politics or intimidate minorl-
ties.
Texas - Recent unconfirmed
reports that the xxx is stirring,
but no open activity.

must be sold to individuals by pro-
jects or il sections, as the property
does not lend itself structurally for
disposition in single units. I would
like to know why not.
The point is, that these housing
units were built for the sole pur-
pose of aiding in the carrying on
of the war, and it seems to me
that the boys who did the actual
fighting should be given proper
consideration in this instance.
There is no apparent reason why
the local Advisory Committee can
not even now get busy in a sincere
effort to have so percent to Is
percent of these housing units set
aside, after they are appraised, and
give the ex "GIs" in Wilmington
an opportunity to purchase either
a single apartment or an entire
unit of two, three or four apart
ments if he is able to finance its
purchase. Three or four els
may desire to get together and buy
a unit so that they may each have
as his W a separate apartment.
If he is financially able to buy a
whole unit, let him do it; he was
not here when all the big money
was being made. Is there any
thing wrong with giving him an
opportunity now to make a little
on his Investment by renting out
the other apartments in his unit?
1t would be the means of putting
something more substantial over
Ibis head than a barracks, pup tent
or quonset hut. A golden oppor-
tunity could soon be knocking on
the ex "GIs" door if the Local
Advisory Committee on Disposition
of War Housing would put forth
the effort needed to open it up for
him. 1t could be done. 1t GER
tainly should be done. What about

Raise Nearly Double
Present Pay Asked
By Job Printers

Wage rates approximately double
the present scale will be asked by
Columbia Typographical Union,
Local 101. for 600 printers employed
in 50 commercial print shops.
Greatest increase ever demanded
here, the new scale would run from
SO to $3.85 per hour.
Negotiations with the EMPLOYERS
group, the Graphic Arts Association,
will begin. in about a week or as
soon as the demands are approved
by the International Typogra phical
Union, said Jesse B. Manbeck, presi-
dent of the local.
Approved by the printers at a
meeting yesterday in Laborers' Hall,
525 New Jersey avenue NV, the de-
mands would be incorporated in a
one-year contract to replace a two
year agreement expiring August II.
The union will demand SO an
hour for day work, $3.50 for night
work and $685. for the third shift
as compared with present standards
of $l.63, $l.66 and sl.75.
Points to Price Increase.
I'm our last contract we got a S
per cent INCREASE" Mr.. Manbeck
said. Since then we have learned
the employers have doubled the price
of their product. If they are en-
titled to twice as much, so are the
printers"
The union leader said the demand
was not exorbitant because New
York and Chicago unions, which
compare with the Washington COM
petitive field, are asking 1902 an
hour for day work and now are
receiving Sl.83 an hour.
Comparing this period with that
following the Civil War, Mr.. Man.
beck recalled how printers received
II per cent increase in l864-from
Sl6 TO S26 Week--and a work day
reduction from 10 to hours.
The union also is asking that day
and night shifts be shortened to Z
Hours and the third shift to 6
hours. All shifts now are 7ia hours
Seven double-time holidays are
sought instead of the present four
The printers wish to include Wash
ington's birthday, Labor Day and
Memorial Day.
Severance Pay Asked.
Three weeks of vacation at double
pay. instead of two weeks with
straight pay. is another demand
The printers want severance pay
amounting to a weeks pay for every
six months of continuous employ
ment.
They also want 30 days sick leave
for all employees with a years serv-
ice and 2i2 days leave a month fol
all employees with less service.
Under another provision. printers
on the extra board of any shop
would be paid 50 each time they
showed up and were not hired. The
union is demanding double time fol-
Saturdays and Sundays worked
after a consecutive flve-day week
Double time is demanded for any
overtime work instead of the present
rate of time and a half for the first
four hours and double time for the
next four.
The Washington local is strength
ened in its bargaining by the fact
almost all shops print labor publica-
tions and thus depend in a large
measure on labors patronage.

Mai. John F. Gniffee Is Killed
In Maryland Train Accident
BurioI in Arlington
Planned for Former
EmpIoye of Star

An Arlington burial with military
honors was being planned today for
Maj. John F. Griffee, 40, former
member of The Stars news staff and
retired Army officer, who was killed
Saturday night at the railroad sta
ton at Perry Point, Md. Funeral
services at Warner Memorial Pres
byterian Church, Kensington, Md,
will be conducted after arrival of
the body from Perry Point, probably
Wednesday. The Rev. Wendell S,
Tredick, jr., will off1ciate.
Maj. Griffee, who lived at log
Everett street, Kensington, lost his
life when he apparently stepped into
the path of train by accident. He
had gone to the Perry Point Veter-
ans Facility last Monday for brief
treatment of service-incurred dis
ability and is believed to have been
waiting on the station platform for
train on which to return to Wash
ington when he became confused by
two trains due only a few minutes
apart. No witnesses saw him hit by
the first, but the engineer of the
second saw him lying injured on the
tracks and applied his brakes.
Surgeons Work Vainly.
Maj. Griffee was able to identify
himself and ask aid, but died two
hours later, after surgeons at the
facility operated in a vain effort to
save his life.
A native of Indiana, Maj. Griffee
was reared in Little Rock, Ark, and
was graduated from the University
OF Arkansas. After gaining initial
newspaper experience on the Ar
kansas Democrat at Little Rock and
the Southwest Times Record at
Fort Smith. he came to Washington
in 1888, joining the Washington
Post. A year later he transferred to

of sl07. .493 for the 1944-6 biennium
was announced last night to the
General Council of Congregational
Christian Churches, meeting in BIZ
ennial convention at Grinnell Coll
lege.
Mrs. Howard Stone Anderson,
Washington. D. c., national presi-
dent of the Congregational Christian
Women, and Mrs. G. L. Davey. Wa
tertown, S. OAK, Women's Gift
chairman, announced the presenta-
ton.
This is the third such biennial gift,
the first $4,000 having been made
at the Durham IN. H convention in

Gil for Social Action for publication

tions.
The Rev. Norman A. Holmes, New
| Orleans, first Negro ever to deliver
the council sermon, told delegates
that one world free from ignorance,
want, intolerance and religious big
otry" must be the goal of the church.

world has a. very good chance to

Science needs nothing more than
God. and such men as George
Washington Carver and Louis
Pasteur, bound together in great
cooperative enterprise to bring
forth an increase of value which will
contribute to just and lasting
