Khan Fails To
brighten Negroes
In Dress Parade

Jacksonville, Fla. tG--The Ku
Kiux Khan seems unable to be-
como conscious of its unpopulari-
tv in the estimation of all decent
people. On election eve, last week,
the Florida division paraded
through the central part of the
state burning fiery crosses, prin-
cipnlly in the yards of Negro
citizens. Winding up in Wildwood,
center of the Seaboard Railroad
shops.
Driving through several towns
with their automobile license tags
covered, they declared that the
parade was only warning to
communists. However, everyone
knew that there are not enough
Communists in Florida to fill a
Mother Hubbard's cupboard, it is
all too clear that the display was
ssafended only to brighten Negroes
1rorn the polls Negroes took the
whole matter as joke and went
20 sne polls the next days by the
thousands. Evidently it takes
rnore than white sheet these
days to brighten Negroes who
faced Germans and Japanese in
the last war, over major portions
of the globe.
FIorida's Governor Caldwell,
cutie incensed about the whole
affair has ordered a full invesu-
CATION to determine why state and
county officers made no attempt
20 arrest or stop drivers of cars
tysveling with covered license
plates, which is against state law.
