White House Denies
Winche|I Story That
Truman Was in KIan
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-Walter
Winchell's broadcast statement
that President Truman once was
a Ku Klux Klan member has
brought a denial from the White
House.
There is no truth whatever to
the statement that President Tru-
man was once a member of the
Klan." said Roger Tubby, acting
White House press secretary.
Mr.. Winchell said on his weekly
television and radio broadcastS
last night he had evidence Mr..
Truman had been a member of
the klan in Independence. Mo.
Shows PhOtostats as Proof.
The columniSt- dis
played photoStatS of seven affi-
davitS which he said were proof
of his charge. Dates quoted by
Mr.. Winchell from the affidavitS
were, with one possible exception,
during October, 1914, while Mr..
Truman was campaigning for the
vice presidency with Franklin D.
Roosevelt. No date was given for
one document.
Mr.. Truman himself has previ-
ously denied the claim. At an
October 26, 1914, news conference
In Peoria, Ill, he said in response
to questions about rumorS of Klan
membership:
"Of course I'm not a member
OF the Klan. I never was. That
lie was nailed back in 1922, when
was elected judge of the County
Court for the eastern district of
Jackson (Mo) County"
Mr.. Truman said then he and
his political associates had fought
the Klan to StandStill and final
ly licked them and that the Klan
had always fought him in Mis-
souri,.
Denies Attending Meeting.
Mr.. Truman said he never at
tended a Klan meeting.
In Mr.. Winchell'S affidavits. wit
nesseSS testified to seeing a Harry
S. Truman at khan meetings open
only to members; to knowledge of
Mr.. Truman's application for
membership and its acceptance; to
seeing Mr.. Truman deliver a
speech at khan meeting, wear
ing a khan robe in the light of
three fiery crosses: to being pres
ent when the khan oath was taken
by Mr.. Truman, and to seeing Mr.
Truman's membership and dues
payment cards in khan records.
Mr.. Winchell said all seven wit

4 sIzERE was some interest in the
L hard gray eyes now. but it was
only interest and not acceptance.
Clay felt his hands clenched into
fists, his jaw thrust forward in the
final intensity of determination,
his eyes dark slits that swept the
mass of men before him. His voice
swept UP in challenge, a chal-
lenge- he was almost desperately
afraid these men would not ac-
cept.
%But, by God, I can lead you to
the Gulf! can lead you TO Nor
gan, and when were through,
there'll be no more Morgan and
there'n be no more Regulators! l
want men-and want them now!
You've growled and grumbled be-
cause you've been held here at
Palmentera and you haven't had
a chance to show what you can
do. All right, by God, here's your
chance! Are you going with me to
Velanto, or are you going to stay
here until your saddles rot and
your guns are too rusty to fire a
charger"
For an instant there was COM
plete silence in the courtyard and
he was sick with thu awful despair
of complete and irreparable fall
ure. And then, like a wave rolling
I'D on the shore, a ragged cheer
began to gather momentum as it
rolled through the uneven ranks.
There were hats in the air and
rifle shots blasting exultantly into
the sky, and then the deep-bearded
captain stepped forward and
mounted the steps beside him.
Without speaking to Clay, he
turned to the bowling mob and
threw both his arms above his
head in demand for silence.
Clay's eyes were tense upon
him and his teeth gnawed on his
lower lip until the hot blood
trickled down his chin. He had
won them over but he had not
won this man. and now it would
be touch and go as to which
would prevail. Dimly, half stunned
by disappointment and anger, he
heard the captains bull voice ris-
ing above the tumult.
"Quieti quiet! I've got a ques-
ton to ask this man. an I'm goin'
to ask it, if I have to fight every
man in this stockade!"
He had their respect and he had
influence; that was plain enough,
for the shouting gradually sank
away and the men were quiet and
curious again.

Clay frowned down at him, sur
prised at the turn the question
had taken. searching his mind for
the purpose behind it. But there
was no motive that he could find.

ly, and then. so that all men might
hear his answer as they had heard

his reply in a voice that carried to
the tarthest rank. Wayne County!

The captain nodded grinly. as
If it were the reply he had ex-

"And was there a man in
Wayne County some years ago

Clay.s head jerked up in amaze
ment and his eyes bored into the
bearded face before him.
There was" he snapped trucu-
lently. Bradley Todhunter Far
rar was my father. And now you
tell me what that is to you."
But the grimness was gone from
the captains face and the black
beard was split by smile as wide
as a morning sunrise.

Clay passed his hand over his

with sweat and he realized that
he nad been holding his breath
from the beginning to the end of
the captains speech.

Plato views the news:
Plans for the first commercial
