The Progressives have been
trying 10 revive their earlier

Ben Gurion said he was not yet
certain that the Arabs were ready
to cooperate with the Jews on a
basis of equality, but 1--WE shall
avail ourselves of every chance,
perhaps without the aid Of media
tors, to arrive by direct means at
an understanding with the Arab
peoples. This understanding" he
said, SHOULD not be founded upon
our rights, aspirations and con-
quests. It should be founded on
the great potentialities latent in
two Semitic peoples"
He said that only through a
treaty with Israel would the Arab
world be able to free itself "from
it's open and covert dependence on
the external forces exploiting it"
Concurrently, he said, only through
neighborly cooperation with the
border states could the Jews con-
solidate peace within their own
state. He spoke of the Jewish
successes in the fighting before
the present truce, and predicted
that if the fighting resumed the
Israeli forces would continue to
conquer Arab territory.
He also warned that the Israeli
terms presented to Count Berna-
dotte, in the initial truce talks,
would not be altered. mo one
can tell how long this truce is go
ing to last" he said. During
the period of the truce we shall,
in addition to increasing our pre-

settlement in a systematic manner
and with all our resources. The
war itself has prepared the
ground for continuation of settle

New Group Repudiated
By ZOA

The Zionist Organization of
America, in a statement issued
today by DIR. Emanuel Neumann,
its president, warned American
Jews not to support any new
groups that were soliciting funds
for Israel, and repudiated the
recently organized "Americans
United for IsraeF which has not
been sanctioned or authorized by
any official Zionist body.
The new group, now in fOrma-
ton, had announced recently that
it was replacing the now defunct
organization, Americans for
Haganah," which had been dis
solved by a decision of the Amer
lean Section of the Jewish Agency
for Palestine, headed by DIR. Abba
Hillel Silver. The Jewish Agency,
in a statement, called upon Amer

The new group according to the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai
Birth, has banned the wearing of
hoods and night sheets-"except
during ritualistic ceremonies
because of "improprieties that
have been committed by masked
figures purporting to represent
the Klans."
Judge T. Hicks Fort of Column
bus granted the organization a
charter despite the fact that its
aims and purposes closely re-
semble those of the old Khan
which was listed as subversive by
the Department of Justice and
had it's charter revoked by the
State of Georgia.
Hicks is the same jurist who
last December granted a charter
to the National Patrick Henry
Society.
Formation of the splinter fac
ton, which presently takes in
western Georgia and eastern Ala
bama, has it's background in an
old struggle for power between
DR.. Samuel Green, Atlanta physi-
clan and Imperial Wizard of the
old Khan, and "Parson Jack"
Johnston of this city, former pub
Usher of the notorious Georgia
Tribune.
Johnston's dissidents are out
spoken in their catholicism
and anti-Semitism. 1t was DR..
Green's habit to issue public state
ments denying that his faction
held any such prejudice.
Johnston and Fred New, present
owner of the Georgia Tribune, are
the behind the-scene big wigs in
the new movement. It's charter
was signed by Alton E. Pate, %
year old veteran and attorney;
Louis F. Hill, a mechanic; and
T. L. Colwell, private detective.
The dissidents have captured
two konklaves from the old Khan
as a base of operations. These
are the Columbus and Pine Noun
tain Valley chapters. New is
kleagle of the latter group.
Pate, who calls himself "adju-
tant," has announced an expansion
drive and is appealing for white,
gentle, Protestant Americans" to
join. Objective is to first organ
ize Georgia and. then spread
throughout the South.
In a Statement of policy pub
lished in the first issue of a new
publication, The Klansman, the
group states that it is organized
for one specific purpose It
nullify the effects of Communistic
teachings on peoples of tn e
South"
In an effort to erase the public
stigma of "night-riders" the state
ment also declares:
1.-THE Klans are not law enforce
ment agencies. If you are plan
ming on joining the Klans to re-
form your brother-in-law who
drinks too much and beats your
sister occasionally-don't do it."
The statement said that the
Khan would cooperate with law
enforcement groups "but it never
