Florida Khan
Seeks Members

Miami - Despite the Christmas
night murder and bombing of Mr..
and Mrs. Herman E. Moore Che
was a NAACP leader) or maybe
because of this attack, the Ku Klux
Khan in Florida has stepped up it's
recruiting of new members.
The two factions of the Khan in
this resort state are gaining more
new members than ever, according
to their leaders. The head of one
group announced himself as a can
didiate for governor of the state.
Both groups claim to be 100 per
cent White Protestants, and both
deny responsibility for the fatal
bombing in Minis. All this is in a
state in which 25 percent popula-
ton are Negro. Around Miami
there are $4,000 Jews.
Recent bombing attacks have
been directed at Negroes, Jews,
and Catholics, none of whom NAV
hold mem bership in the Khan.
Despite their agreement on prin-
ciples, the two Klans are rival
groups. The Southern Knights of
the Ku Klux Klan is led by Bill
Hendrix, Tallahassee, the man who
says he will be Florida's next gov
ernor. The Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan is headed by w. H. Brough of
Wildwood.

General Eisenhower, who has indi-

fess 4 am a sinner after the
position he took on the integrat ton
of White and Negro soldiers when
he appeared before the Senate

we will see where we go from

to the indignation of Negro and
White soldiers has been quoted a

block every move to eliminate

two small bananas. Then read about
the apples being given away to hold up

their delicious pecan pie. They surely

When will our legislators quit trying
to pull the wool over the public's eyes?
The crusade against gambling is truly
farce, and trying to combat it and
wipe it out is an impossibility. For every
bookmaker who is put out Of business
through conviction or excessive
heat" another springs up to take his
place. And as long as there are, three
people left m this world, the odds will
be two. to one.
How much more Of the taxpayers
hard-earned money will go down the
drain before all these investigators ind
out it is q losing battle?
I also wonder how many Of these
crusaders have reserved seats In the club
houses of the nearby race tracks? And
is it any different to lose your money at
D track or with bookie? It IS still

Nj. Trunon Plays II Safe

An incumbent President toying with the
vision OF another term may we'll regard state
primaries as meaningless eyeWash, to borrow
Mr.. Trlman,s expression.
The New Hampshire primary, from which
the President has said he will withdraw is
meaningless In Mr.. Trumans case. It Is mean
ingleSs because the political power of an In
cuinbent President is such thai he can dictate
his own nominations If he wants to rhh Nothing
that might have happened IN New Hampshire
could have altered this fact, Even Il q majority
Of the Democratic politicians were opposed to
another nomination for Mr.. Truman, which
evidently is not the case he still could have it
for the taking. So it is understandable that
Mr.. Truman looks with certain disdain on
State primaries, although he can hardly be
credited with the best selection of language in
expressing his views.
But State primaries are not necessarily eye
wash. There was nothing meaningless about
the Oregon primary in 1913, for it was In that
contest that Governor Dewey wrecked and sank
the presidential aspirations Of Harold StaSsen.
Nor will the New Hampshire primary necessarily
be meaningless to the Republican hopefuls this
year. General Eisenhower will be through if
he should be beaten. BY the same token, Senator
Taft viii be assured Of tie nominations If he
wins there although defeat might not take
him out Of the picture. 81 - -
The primaries are important, not so much
because of the number of delegates won or lost,
but as vehicle for expressing popular sentiment
A President may be able to scoff at such an
expression. But it cannot be ignored by those
who lack the power to dictate the choice of a
presidential nominee.
