Ku Klux Klan Membership Increases North and South

NEW YORK UPI—A “cli-

mate of fear” existing around Negro Ghettoes and the threat **6f "black power” from extrem:i tst Negro leaders has resulted in a resurgence of the Ku Klux i-'.Klan, not only in the South but in the North as well, it was re^ported today. - The Anti-Defamation League . (ADD of the B’Nai B’Rith said ,, a recent study indicated that ^ the Klan has a strength of ap- ;. proximately 29,500 throughout « the South, marking an increase ,,of nearly 10,000 since the beginning of the year. It said the Klan’s membership had plum'meted by last January, after it “‘had proved less than than ef-

This *is virtually impossible. The solution will be for Congress to institutionalize itself along current operating lines. Today its major functions revolve about legislative oversight and

fective in making “white backlash” count in the November

elections.

The ADL listed Georgia as the Klan chief bastion with 8,000 members in that state, followed by North Carolina, 6,000; Alabama, 5,000; and Mississippi, 3,100. Significant attempts to move into the Northern states were made this summer, the organization reported, apparently on the theory that Northerners are more disturbed by the civil rights movements in big cities than by incidents in

the South.

The survey said one of the best-supplied Klan movements in the North is operating from a post office box address in New Haven, Conn. Only last Saturday the Klan staged a “reactivation” rally near Saugus, Calif., attended by 500 Klan activists with signs reading “white power” and attended by a reported 10,000 persons, the report said. Another recruitment meeting is scheduled in the San Bernardino area next month. “We are not suggesting that responsible people anywhere will turn to the Klan,” the ADL said. “We are suggesting that (because of the violence which has occurred, the racists are

before. Klan strength has always been a barometer of public uneasiness in this country." The ADL said many observers report “that while people may talk about other problems, such as Viet Nam and inflation, they really worry more about Negroes moving into the block, taking over their jobs, making the streets a battleground.” It said these fears were bolstered by outbreaks of violence in and around the Negro ghettoes of Northern and Southern cities and the policy of “black power” enunciated by leaders of such groups as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee

(SNCC).

‘Constituents, whose demands are becoming staggering, according to Morrow, might be letter served by the creation of an Administrative Council. The Council would act as a clearing house for certain kinds of information sought by constituents. On a more personal side, Morrow said his impression of Congressmen is that “by and large they are very able, much more able than I thought they were. All are driven by non-financial motives apparently, for their salary ($30,000) is just barely enough to get by on.” "Die 30 Interns In the program negotiated their own Jobs.

Group Favors Motor Vehicle Inspection Nan INDIANAPOLIS UPI —Indiana lawmakers were asked to enact a mandatory motor vehicle inspection plan after a study committee concluded that more than half of all cars now using the highways are defective. The recommendation by the Committee to Study the Need and Feasibility of Periodic Motor Vehicle Inspection came during a two-day session of the Legislative Advisory Commission. Reports from 40 study committees, most of which have been working since ths 1965 Legislature ended, were received during the two days. Sen. James M. Plaskett, DNew Washington, presented the draft of a bill his committee hopes the 1967 Legislature will enact It calls for creation of a division of vehicle inspection within the Indiana Office of Traffic Safety, which would be a non-partisan division whose employes could be imprisoned for 6 months and fined $500 for political activities other than voting at elections. An annual inspection of motor vehicles would be handled by garages, filling stations and similar privately-owned places which were licensed as official inspection stations. The Indiana State Police would supervise the selection and checking of the inspection stations. A “certificate of inspection and approval” would be placed on the approved vehicle after it passes inspection.

Admit Possible Air Violations WASHINGTON UPI — The United States had admitted that its warplanes accidentally may have violated Red China’s air space twice recently, but denied they attacked a Chinese village. State Department spokesman Robert J. McCloskey said Monday that on Sept. 9 and Sept. 17 U.S. planes may have entered Chinese airspace during the battles with Communist MIG jetfighters and that shells from the dogfights may have landed on Chinese soil. But, said McCloskey, there was no truth to a Peking charge that in one of the two instances the American planes attacked a Chinese village. In the two dogfights, McCloskey said, “there is a possibility that some inadvertent intrusions of Communist China may have taken place during the breakoff of air engagements over North Viet Nam.” On both occasions, he said, American pilots fought aerial battles with MIGs whose “nationality was unidentified.”

Peking Hints Of Mao Purge HONG KONG UPI — Military authorities in Peking charged that a group of Chinese Communist party officials and intellectuals were plotting a coup to overthrow the regime of Chairman Mao Tse-tung. Peking Radio, in a broadcast monitored here, said “power factions” within the Communist party were trying to restore capitalism in China and that "bourgeois and reactionary intellectuals are spreading the poisonous influence of the bourgeoisie ideology.” The official Peking broadcast, quoting from an article in the Liberation Army daily newspaper, charged that the action of the officials and intellectuals was “motivated to lay ground for the anti-revolutionary movement. It was the second such charge in less than four days. Peking Radio Saturday broadcast excerpts from Red Flag the party’s main theoretical journal, that “bourgeois elements” and “power-holders in the highest places” were plotting against Mao and military strongman Lin Piao, the Chinese defense minister. It also followed by a few hours a stiff editorial warning from the same military newspaper that some members of China’s three-million-man army were out of step with Communist ideology. The newspaper ordered all soldiers and officers to “admit and rectify their mistakes.” Both broadcasts were seen as the most dramatic evidence yet that Mao’s Red Guard campaign to wipe out all Western influences on China and his political purge is meeting strong opposition from within party and military circles. The Hungarian news agency Mit reported, meanwhile, from Peking, that thousands of teenage Red Guards were being brought to Peking by special buses carrying the inscription, “for revolutionary students and teachers,” to receive instructions from Chinese officials.

Gen. Do Gaulle Asked To Act As Middleman SAIGON UPI — North Viet Nam recently asked French President Charles de Gaulle to act as middleman in peace talks with Saigon but the French leader said Hanoi’s conditions were “impossible,” a Saigon newspaper said Wednesday. The Saigon Post said the report of the Hanoi bid to DeGaulle came from “A foreign diplomat on a special mission to Saigon.” The Hanoi conditions judged "impossible” by De Gaulle were, it said, postponement of South Viet Nam’s recent national elections, recognition of the Viet Cong National Liberation Front as the negotiating party and the withdrawal from this country of U. S. troops. The request to act as middleman came from North Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh, the paper said. The Post said Ho’s message was delivered to De Gaulle during the French President’s recent visit to Cambodia when De Gaulle received Ho’s emissary at the Cambodian royal palace in Phnom Penh. “De Gaulle is reported to have fumed, stood up and denounced the ‘conditions’ as impossible,” the newspaper said.
