Supervisor of General Accounting, and Plant Accounts before joining Kroger General Office Personnel staff in 1962. Challenging those businesses who have a policy of tokenism, he urged them to go into the streets and let people know about employees they need and what qualifications they must have. Stargel then encouraged the establishment of an equal opportunity employment program. He continued, and asked, not to look for a “black Jesus” who is going to walk the waters, but not to lower the job standaris. He further pointed out that his company had found no problem in finding qualified people. Pointing out problems of inferiority, education, lack of qualification and confronted by many under privileged Americans white and black, Stargel said, all of these people need help. W. T. Ray, prominent realtor, is president of the board and was master of ceremonies and Mrs. Henry J. Richardson, board member and secretary, with Norman J. McKinnon, treasurer. The Rev. Geddes W. Hanson, pastor of Witherspoon Presbyterian Church gave the invocation.

House group votes to probe Ku Klux Klan
WASHINGTON — Following the recent declaration by President Johnson of an all-out-war on the Ku Klux Klan or its members as “enemies of justice,” this week the U.S. House Un-American Activities Committee voted unanimously toinvestigate the hooded order. Following the announcement Robert Shelton, imperial wizard, Tuscaloosa, Ala., is reported, as saying he would welcome a congressional investigation but would “strenuously object” to the presence of Congressman Charles Weltner (Dem. Ga.). The Georgia Congressman a member of the committee first proposed an inquiry into activities of the Klan in early February. FIVE MEMBERS of the committee are southerners and heretofore its activities have centered around investigations of socalled left-wing organizations. The decision to probe activities of the Klan was made in a closed session of the committee following a federal official’s indication that members of the Klan have been involved in “a number of recent murders and other unconstitutional acts of violence and terrorism.” A PRELIMINARY investigation indicated that “Klanism is incompatible with Americanism,” the cjiairman of the committee, Edwin E. Willis (Dem.La.) stated. Congressman Willis said, “It (Klan) is doing injury to our nation and in particular to the South, which it claims to protect and defend. I am convinced that the South and the entire nation will be much better off if all Klan influence is ended, once and for all.” He ventured it would be several months before full scale hearings could begin, depending on how long it takes field workers to “develop the facts.” Further, he said committee investigators already have been in Alabama and Mississippi. And the preliminary study indicated “shocking crimes” have been carried out by groups within the Klan, known as the “knock-off squad” or “holy terror.” Congressman Willis called upon everyone with knowledge of the Klan, including members, to tell his committee what they know. He said, surely some Klansmen “can not reconcile vicious and brutal murder with Klan preachments of devotion to God and country.” President Johnson in a fervid appeal for justice and fair play for all people denounced the Klan on television last weekend. He declared his intention to propose legislation to rid the nation of its operations.

Continued from Page 1 Ala. The men, all identified by authorities as Klan members, were taken into custody in Birmingham, only hours after the tragedy. Johnson had ordered the FBI to work around the clock in its search for the killers. The President said, in a statement following the arrest of the suspects: “Mrs. Liuzzo went to Alabama to serve the struggle for justice. She was murdered by the enemies of justice, who for decades have used the rope and the gun, the tar and the feathers to terrorize their neighbors. “My father fought them in Texas. I have fought them all my life, because I believe them to threaten the peace of every community where they exist. “I shall continue to fight them because I know their loyalty is not to the United States, but to a hooded society of bigots. “Men and women have stood against the Klan at times and places where to do so required a continuous act of courage. If Klansmen hear my voice today, let it be both an appeal - - and a warning - - to get out of the Klan NOW, and return to a decent society - - before it is too late.” Johnson said he has asked the U.S. Attorney-General to draw up legislation that will “bring the activities of the Klan under effective control of law.” “I am hopeful of submitting legislation as soon as the voting rights bill gets through Congress,” the President stated. Funeral services for Mrs. Liuzzo .attended by dignitaries from all over the nation, were held in Detroit Tuesday. Meanwhile, three of the four men implicated in the slaying were free on $50,000 bond. The fourth, Wilkins, was denied bail and remained in jail early this week because he was convicted in federal court last November on a charge of possessing an unregistered shotgun and was placed on probation for two years. Mrs. Liuzzo, wife of a Detroit Teamster official, Anthony Liuzzo, and mother of five children, was shot in the head as she drove along a lonely stretch of highway 80, between Montgomery and Selma. Her companion, another civil rights worker, Leroy Moton, 19, of Selma, told police that he and the 39-year-old Detroit woman were travelling toward Montgomery to pick up some students who participated in the Montgomery march. Moten said he noticed a car following them, which suddenly pulled around at high speed and several bullets struck the auto Mrs. Liuzzo was driving. She slumped over the wheel, apparently killed instantly by a bullet in the head. Moton said the car traveled for some distance while he struggled to gain control and bring it to a halt. The vehicle finally halted after striking a fence. The youth, dazed and frightened, managed to halt a truck carrying a group of civil rights marchers into Selma and informed them of what had happened. Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace, who had praised the conduct of Alabama whites durin gthe five-day march, said he “deeply regretted” the slaying and called it a “cowardly act.”
Continued from Page 1 Ernest Walker to the Guilford Avenue apartment house. Walker had left Hardister in the downstairs apartment and had gone upstairs to the apart of Mrs. Dora Price. After the shooting, Hardister and Mrs. Taylor carried the injured child upstairs to Mrs. Price’s apartment. He died shortly after police arrived. Arriving on the scene from her job at Methodist Hospital, the child’s mother, Mrs. Ida Adams, was gently restrained by police as she tearfully pleaded to be allowed to “see my baby.” The results of an autopsy ordered by the Marion County Coroner’s office were not available Thursday afternoon as The Recorder went to press. Funeral services are pending at the King and King Funeral Home.
