Khan Chief Bans Masks
After Gunfire Halls
Parade in Georgia
By the Associated Press

ATLANTA, Aug. 8.-The Ku
Klux Klan's chief today issued an
Imperial edict" against mask
wearing-about SO hours after
South Georgia townsfolk and
robed night riders snapped shots.
The order from DR.. Samuel
Green, imperial wizard, came after
the one-armed mayor of Iron City,
Ga, and some of his friends
opened fire on Khan motorcade.
To wind up the shooting war,
the Mayor chased Khan official
into Alabama at l00-mlle per-
hour pace and had him jailed.
DR.. Green threatened members
of the sheeted order with Danish
ment if they appear "on any
street, road or highway wearing
a mask or visor"
He said the edict was neces-
sary because certain unlawful
acts have brought unjust criti-
cism against Klansmen."
The Association of Georgia
Klans, which Green heads, has
been placed on the subversive list
of the Justice Department.
Green denied any connection
between his organization and the
Iron City incident.
The shooting spree started,
Mayor c. L. Drake of Iron City
said, when II or IS carloads con-
tanning about so robed Klansmer
rolled into this little Southwest
Georgia hamlet early Sunday
One unidentified Klansman re-
ceided q flesh wound. Mr.. Drake
reported none of his fighters was
hurt.
The Mayor, Khan foe of long
standing, declared, Some of the
bullets whizzed by within feet
of me" while he hastily scribbled
down the ru5ed figures auto tag
numbers.
Mr.. Drake said he didn't have a
gun, but that some of his friends
did and they peppered the Khan
convoy with shotgun and pistol
fire. The night riders retaliated,
he related.
.r Several hours elapsed between
the shooting and the daredevil au-
tomobile chase to Dothan, Ala, SO
miles way. The Mayor gave these
"details.
: He had returned home when
Sheriff c. L. Chandler telephoned
that some one had sworn out an
assault warrant against him. Mr.
Drake started to Sheriff Chand-
lers Office and spotted the Cal
which had led the Khan parade.
The Mayor stomped the accel-
orator and the Whirlwind chase
was on. The Khan official, booked
as Bill Hendrix, Tallahassee, Fla.
said his speed hit 100 m.p.h. dur
ing the race Hendrix. who said he
is an organizer for a new hooded
4Ao 4A4d-
Klan," sped to police headquarters
at Dothan and asked protection
The Mayor burst in after him ano
had him jailed on a warrant
charging assault with intent to
murder which had been issued in
4Iron city. Hendrix bond was set
at $500.
Mr.. Drake added that while in
Dothan he looked in Hendrix's car
and found Khan cloaks. receipt
books. guns. one tommy gun clip
and carbon copies of Khan letters,
He identified Hendrix as ''acting
agent Of the grand dragon of
Florida"
Bucking the Khan is nothing
new to Mayor Drake. He recently
announced he had thWarted a
Khan kidnap attempt by opening
fire with an automatic shotgun

FEMALE BASKET BALL-This
super sport has begun to rise to its
peak finally. All over the country
Teens are jumping and shooting
for baskets. One new play, among
others. that shows signs of be-
coming a standard rule is the
double bounce. It enables the
player to change her direction in
a hurry when she's closely guarded
in the middle of a "dribble." Most
of us hope the rule comes through
because it gets a little closer tc
boys basket ball. Well probably
never be able to go the whole
length of the court in a dribble
but with a lot of practice. one
half of the floor can be covered In
a double bounce.
The boys also have quite an
advantage over us in that they're
much taller. But shortness doesn't
exterminate us. either. Some Of
Us Teens, even though pretty
small. can almost put" the ball
into the basket. We aren't worried
about that at all. Another problem
seems to get the girls down. II
they aren't chosen for forwards,
they feel sighted. A guard doesn't
seem to have any prestige what
ever. But that isn't so-the guard
IS the person who feeds the points
into the basket through the for
r,ard. Without good guards, the
forwards are helpless.
So oe of good cheer, Teen girls!
