Ku Klux Spirit Still
A Menace To
Entire u. S.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2Z - The Ku
Klux Khan, though weakened by in
ternal dfssention since the death
last August of it's fanatical organic
err, DR.. Samuel Green, is still. a
threat to the nation, one Of the
South's leading editors stated today
, in the current issue of Look maya
zine.
trod1ing Carter, Pulitzer Prize
winner and editor of the Greenville
Miss, Delta Democrat-Times,"
claimed that the spirit of violence
which leads to the formation of il
can rather than a purely Southern
phenomenon. Among the Klan-like
organizations which have arisen in
other parts of the country, Mr.. Car
ter cites the Vigilantes of the West,
the Molly Maguires of the Pennsyl-
vania coal fields, the White Caps,
the Bundists and the Christian
Frontiers.
Contrary to popular impression,
racial and religious prejudice are
not the chef bulwarks of. Khan
power in the South, the Look article
asserts. Digging back into regional
history, Mr.. Carter gives four rea-
sons for the South's special suscep-
tibility to Klan-like activities:
l. The presence in the South, and
particularly in the rural South, Of
large numbers of Negroes as slaves
and subjugated free men for 800
composition of the South, resulting
years. 2. The rural and small-town
in a lack of organized police protec-
ton and an accompanying need for
self-protection. 3. The largely Scots
Irish and colonial English back
ground of the Southerner with their
traditions of clan unity and eXag-
gerated notions of personal honor.
4. The determination of a rural So
ciety to impose narrow code of
morals upon the whole community.
The activities of the Khan are
feast evident in those Southern
areas where self-government is
strongest and where economic and
educational standards are highest,
Mr.. Carter states in the Look
article.

Harlem's Ghetto"
Explosive Over Bad
Housing, Says Look

New York, Nov. % - New York's
Harlem has become a "near-medie-'
val ghetto" where living conditions
for its 200 Negroes and Puerto
Ricans are so crowded that serious
trouble can be expected momentari'
ly, says Look magazine in the issue
released today.
Fed up with "pie-in-the-sky ban
ners" being waved by politicians on
the subject of housing, Harlem's
anger is mounting steadily as the
overcrowded area receives 900 to
1000 Puerto Ricans, pouring into
it's SIT blocks every week, says
Look.
The article states that Harlem's
district is so saturated with people
that if the same ratio were applied
to Manhatten Island, the population
OF New York and the New England
states would fit into a little more
than the rest of New York. It's ma
ternal death rate is twice as high,
and more than six per cent of the
area suffers from veneral disease.
Unemployment in Harlem, says
Look. is now at a record high for
the postwar period, and is getting
worse for both Negroes and Puerto
Ricans.

national defense and is one which
is one which requires immediate at
tention and action by those who are
charged with the responsibilities of
our nations security.
Mr.. Russell j. Hopley, director of
Civil Defense Planning, prepared a
comprehensive report entitled "Civ-
il Defense for National Security
which was transmitted to the Secre-
tary of Defense one year ago. That
report pictures the problems which
would be faced by civilians under
attack and outlines the kind of prep
arations which would have TO be
made in advance in order to meet
the various eventualities Of an
emergency.
The report points out that if an
attack should come, it might be by
bomber squadrons dropping atomic
bombs, incendiaries or gas bombs, or
super-eXplosive on a score of our
major centers. 1t might come via
guided missiles from distant points
or from submarines off the American
shores. Or it might come from with
in the borders of the United States,
through saboteurs and fifth column
lists.
However it came, it could mean
devastation and death at many
points on such a scale that the
tasks of rescue and restoration
would be far beyond the present ca
pabilities of the people and COM
munities attacked.
The report states that single
atomic bomb dropped on a large
city can cause 100, 900 casualties -
40 900 of them either killed instant
ly or dead within a few weeks.
Therefore, the preparation for such
an attack requires special skill and
the most efficient operation. Radio
activity effects can be minimiZed
by thorough understanding on every.
ones part of the nature of the dang

Members of the natural gas in

port on the Commissions natural

and ,steadfast supporter now is
Senator Francis J. Myers of Penn

situation is the relatively slight
part apparently played by the
