white Christians" Threaten 10 Bear
Arms To Uphold Racial Segregation

A full investigation of reports
of the organization of a group
called the American Confederate
Army" which threatens to bear
arms to prevent enforcement of
Supreme Court anti-segregation
orders. was strongly urged of At
torney-General James p. Nc
Creamery this week by Thurgood
Marshall, special counsel of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
In his letter to the Attorney
General, Mr.. Marshall noted that
Associated Press dispatches of Ju-
ly Is indicated that Bill Hendrix,
self-styled Florida Grand ORA
gon for the Southern Knights of
the Khan, announced that the
organization, limited to white
Christians" will bear arms to
uphold our Constitutional right"
Hendrix stated the group would
consider Supreme Court rulings
against segregation a violation of
these rights.
A gathering at Orlando last
Weekend, at which the new out
fit was organized, denounced the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People and
the Anti-Defamation League as
hate groups and said a drive
would start to have all members
OF these organizations listed.
Hendrix was convicted in
February of this year for mailing
scurrilous postcards and fined
$500 and given a one year sas-
spended sentence Idr. Marshall
wrote the Acknowledgement He
and his organization have now q.
:. organized for the express pur-
pose of enforcing their un-Ameri-
can demands by force of arms,
even where these are con-
trary to our Constitution. Such
action would certainly violate
our laws against sedition. Con-
spring TO do the same acts would
clearly be in violation Of the
Smith Act"
We. therefore. strongly urge
that you, as Acknowledgement OF
