Except for this incident khan
or klan-like activities seem to have
the go-ahead signal. Birmingham
seems to be the main center Of
activities. Last week hooded
groups flooged a man for mot
making enough money" thus fore
ing his wife to work.

ures visited" Steve Marshlar,
cafe owner, who feeds Negroes

faith in the Catholic church.
In a third incident hooded per-
sons threatened a widow, Mrs.
Hugh Mcdaniel, and burned a
cross on her lawn.
With last weeks terrorist acts
under it's belt, the khan seems
ready to cover more territories.
This seems to be the biggest phase
of a postwar khan movement that
began in March, 1916, when
crosses we're burned for the first
time in Tarrant City, Ala.
In April, 1947, the khan made
it's first public bid for nor men,
bers. In 1913 khan activities be-
gan to step up. Memorable events
include the invasion of two white
girl scout instructors in the Paul
in Bray Fletcher girl scouts camp
and the fear that spread over the
Massey Line Baptist church when
hooded klansmen entered and wor-
shipped and dropped money in col
lection.
The pace has been speeded up
greatly in 1949. On March 8, a
woman wanted to use the local
Ensley Memorial court to organ
iZe the Female ku klux khan. She
was not allowed to use the place.
How far the khan terror may
go against both colored and white
citizens of the south depends on
how much law enforcement off.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 81.
(ANP)-Activities of the ku klux
khan in the south became more
open last week as three white
persons were threatened. Negro
leaders demanded that something
be done about the khan, and gov
eminent officials promised action.
Center of khan activities moved
from Georgia to Birmingham dur
ing the past week although Grand
Dragon Samuel Green indicted
hundreds of new members into the
Khan in impressive ceremonies in
Atlanta.
In Birmingham three incidents
against white persons caused Gov.
James Folsom, Sheriff Holt Nc
Dowell. and Director Bankhead
Bates to speak out against the
khan and hooded orders. But they
expressed an air Of helplessness
against the menace of khan ter
rorism.
The NAACP in this city also
protested the incident, and de-
manded that the governor and
Atty. Gen. Albert A. Carmichael
"conduct a vigorous investigation
into activities by subversive
groups"
Anti-klan action in the south
however, was a total failure last
week. In Soperton, Ca, despite
the fact that the mayor unmaskec
three klansmen, Mayor Pro Ten
James Waller ruled that the mere
wearing of masks in public was
not a crime, thus ruling against
the action of Mayor James Peter
son.
In a fervent plea for client Joe
Greene, one Of the three unmask
ed men, Atty. T. Ross Sharpe
ranted that the klansmen were
being ~"persecuted just because
they wore white, the symbol O.
purity ever since the death c:
our Savior.
"There is no law against wear
ing hoods or being a klansman,
he said. "You can put on you

Mayor Peterson did not indicat,
what future action he would TAX

New York, March 3l.-The United

day by Walter White, secretary
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
to resist the 'imperialistic de-
mands of Italy for return of for
mer italian colonies as a prere-

Defense Alliance.
In the telegram to Secretary Of
State Dean Acheson, the NAACP
secretary stated that "Italys tao
it attitude that she will join North
Atlantic Pact only If her colonies
are restored is presumptuous and
incredible" and urged that the
Atlantic Pact be amended to pre-
clude its use against movements
for freedom on the part of colonial
peoples.

The Foreign Minister pointed
out that it was natural for the
Scandinavian countries jointly to
examine possibilities, within the
framework OF the United Nations,
of developing regional collabora-
ton on mutual aid in the event of
attack, especially so with view to
preventing that such attacks on
these countries take place at all.
The Foreign Minister stated that
the governments of the Scandina.
Wan countries were agreed that it
was timely to examine into the
problems, and gave an account of
developments: The meeting of the
Foreign Ministers at Stockholm in
September, the formation of the
Scandinavian Defense Commission,
of which he gave a resume, and
the conferences held in Uddevalla,
Karlstad, Copenhagen and Oslo. He
emphasized that at the Karlstad
meeting the Swedish Ministers
were prepared to seek domestic
Swedish political support for un-
dertaking forthwith unconditional
obligation for a Scandinavian de-
tense union, even though the de-
lenses of Denmark and Norway
were deficient.
The negotiations showed that the
three countries could go a long
way together in the direction of
mutually binding Scandinavian de-
Tense union resting on the follow
ing basic principles:

dinaVia or as a result of a decision
OF the Security Council of the
United Nations.
Article Twelve of the Swedish
draft is the one that raises the
basic problem here. This states
that during the validity of the
Scandinavian pact (Which would
last for twenty years unless re-
nounced by one of the signatories
after nine years. none of the three
nations would conclude a military
union with any other nation.
IN short, while Sweden is will

Norway and Denmark cannot ad-

to both a Scandinavian pact and
an Atlantic pact.
'"The position of the United
States is that Norway is free to
decide which pact it wishes to
join.
1.-The United States is insisting,
however, on the principle that
United States arms must go in the
first instance to nations associat-
ed with it in mutual defense ar
rangements.
Thus, the Scandinavians are
left to assume that if they decline
to join the Atlantic pact, that is
their own affair, but that the
Swedish draft of the Scandinavian
pact would scarcely provide any
guarantees of effective military
aid from the United States"
