New Klan Group Reported Rising tn Tennessee Town KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (ANP) — Evidence that another Klan-type j organization has sprung up came here last week when a request was received from the Society of Southern Traditions by city hall officials, asking permission to conluct services at Chilhowee Park’s J administrative building. The request was handed in by T. A. Lynch, one of three persons bound to the grand jury on charges of burning a series of crosses ever the city. Lynch, a carpenter, described the society as being ! chartered in Nashville an'd having no connection with the Klan. He said, however, that it stood for two things also advocated by the Klan—white supremacy and sepi aration of church and state.

These bonds will tie cashed at any bank vn the same manner as War Bonds

and Savings Bonds.

Before rushing these bonds at’ veterans should remember the President's admonition not to cash the bonds unless absolutely noces sary, in order to- prevent the ad verse inflationary effects upon ev eryone which will result if large numbers of the bonds are cashed and the money spent in a short time. The owner gains by holding

the bond until maturity.

A dramatic climax to a war ro mance came last week here when a 34-vear-old Italian woman com pleted the last leg of a trans Atlantic plane trip to marry the 28-year-old American Negro army | sergeant she met in her native

YOU MUST UKOISTI.K TO VOTE LAWYERS FACE RAN FROM BAR IN ALABAMA By EMORY O. JACKSON BIRMINGHAM (ANP) — Two highest barriers faring degree lawyers and student lawyers among the Negro group in Alabama are color bars and bar tests. Color bars drive them out of the state to get l"gal training and the tests drive them out of the South or out of their profession. Alabama bans the rtu iy of law by Negro citizens within the state, although it provides it within the state for white citizens. Negro law students are denied a chance to study law at the state university and thos" who have finished their legal training in northern law schools with the help of state aid are denied reciprocity. Students finishing the state taw school don’t have to bother with a har test, they slide automatically into the bar association. Negro students are permitted to take the bar test hut it seems they aren’t permitted to pass it so that they may practice law on their

own.

Arthur D. Shores, of Birmingham, is the only practicing Negro lawyer in Alabama. Charles V. Hendley, grand master of the Ub-000-strong Alabama Masons, is a member of the Alabama bar but devotes most of his time to the order. One former practicing at- ; torney now heads an insurance 1 company here. Another trained J lawyer without any bar member- | ship manages a finance company.

CHICAGO (ANP) — An investi ration hero last w^ek cf 50 Negro squatters in a near north side di lapidated tenement building disproved a scare story published "arlier by the Chicago Tribune ated as one of the north's fore most anti-Negro publications, abou the lawlessness of the temporary tenants. The inciting and vicious anti Negro story, which could have in stigated a race riot, caused newly 'Mected Mayor Martin H. Kennel ly to oust eight of the squatter; immediately, with provision for th* early evacuation of the remainder On previous occasions, the Chi cago Tribune, published by Col Robert R. McCormick, has beer accused of attempting to promote and incite racial strife. The pa -er’s head on the story, with pic tures, read: ‘•Pquatters Hold Nortl Side Area in Terror Grip.” The story pointed out how white office girls, employes of the Bal antyne Manufacturing Compan: nearby, were being molested tu •'clusters of intoxicated Negroes.’ who ‘ seize them and push them around.” The Tribune story said four rnm* dors had occurred in the dilapidat ed building since the first of tTu year, hut police records disclosed only one murder within that period. Two men died there from drinking poisonous whiskey, police records reveal. The Tribune fail ed to reveal the source of its er roneous information on the night ly brawls between the squatters. The acute housing shortage is responsible for the squatters, who moved in after the last recorded owner, one Henry Kylstein, disappeared about four years ago. According to Mrs. Ruth Smith, a resident of the building for about 20 years, Kylstein stopped collecting rent when he was requested to make necessary repairs. Paying tenants moved out as the j

building deteriorated, and families unable to find homes because of anli Negro restrictive property covenants moved in as squatters, she said. Lhe blamed current conditions of the building on push art junk collectors, which operate from the A. Lindberg Junk e.hop nearhy. The Tribune ignored the squatters’ side of the story.
