Head Buried

Atlanta DR.. Samuel Greer

life as imperial wizard of The
Ku Klux Khan was buried Sat
urday after tranquil funeral ser

There was no visible sign thai
the recognized leader of the mod

mourned by his followers.
Undoubtedly, numerous Klans-
men were among the 500 per
sons attending the rites, but no
insignia of the order was evid-

men in tattered shirts and we'll

profession.
Green was an obstetrician. He

You cannot pay a doctor bill
How can you pay for a home. Liy-

You are polking fun at the

also and yet you cannot nav
Your debts nowhere you live or

Poor people are trying a near

means, Trying to initiate the rich

You claim you own a part in
Christ and owe everybody Won

honest debt, How can you expect

Do you believe Gods pure

You are sowing your seeds in

George ".

 The 'HJ ne"sncn were asked to give their opinions on thc unani- nous action by inc committee and he Senate as a whole gn a matter which was highly controversial in Alsska. While favorable Senate action on he confirmation had been expected generally, the u1an- .mous committee and Senate votes came as q surprise 10 observers.

 Senator Butler CR-NebD made no secret that he opposed Gruen- ing and fl is difficult to under stand why he chose to be absent along with Gordon when the com mittee voted.
 Tt was not unnatural. however, after the committee was unani- nous that the Senate at large ac- cepted the recommendation in spite of the fact numerous Sena- tors stated privately they'd just as soon reject Gruening as not. "This attitude was so prevalent that the Senate's action can be in

as it Didn't seem an opportunity
to discuss the matter before the

me he would do so.
During the latter part of January
1949, I approached the new Chair

of the proposed lease. He was
quite surprised to learn that l had
an application for lease on file and
moreso that the matter had been
discussed by the Committee and
was pending. He promised that he
would check on it. A week later
I mentioned the matter to him
again as he had forgotten entirely
about it. With this reminder a few
days later he showed me a copy
of the proposed lease and stated
that Hodge had been waiting to
hear from me and wanted informa
ton concerning the operation of
the canning plant.
My reply was that since the
Hon. Hodge had informed me un-
officially of the approval by the
