1,1 I Ku KluxKlan Losing Hold on j Fears of Negroes; Dissension From Within Group! Growing ? 1 i By Bern Price ATLANTA, April 18 The attitude of many southerners. white and negro, toward the Ku Klux Klan has changed. j The Klan isn't what it used to be. At Gainesville, Ga., 50 miles north of here, la negro woman eyed Ku Klux Klan parade from her porch rocking: chair. j A dozen hooded heads turned as she sang out, "Send us yo' sheets. white folks, well wash 'urn. The negroes lining the road grinned broadly as the parade moved on, flock of giggling negro children fell -in behind, drumming loudly on. tin pans. Last February at West Colum bia., S. C, Dr. Samuel Green, grand dragon of the association of Georgia Klans, told Klansmen and curious that unless "white supremacy" was maintain ed, "the day will come when a black buck negro may ask for your daughter's hand in marriage." A voice on the outskirts drawl ed, "Well, she can always say no can't she?" On Prowl for Klaa At Mumford, Ala., February 20, a 12-year-old boy kicked over a burning cross and doused it in a water hole. Later that night men armed with shotguns were report ed on the prowl for K landmen. The Mumford incident prompt ed Alabama's Gov. James E. Fol som to order the arrest of anyone operating a car with a concea'ed license plate, a favorite Klan de vice. Said Folsom, "Mobs, hooded or unhooded, are net going to rule Alabama " Irate, city councils in a half doz en cities have passed anti-mask ordinances on the heels of Klan parades -r- Wrightsville, Colum bus and Macon, Ga., Chattanooga, Tenn., Tallahassee and Miami, Fla. Atlanta's Junior Chamber of Commerce is pressing for a simi lar ban. A Klan parade at Denmark, S. C, brought quick reaction from Gov. Strom Thurmond who told state police to get busy enforcing "intimidation" by laws against masked men.f 1 To Obey Laws i Green promised Thurmond be would "banish"; any Klansman guilty of violating laws. j Nobody, however, lambasted the Klan more than Gov. Fuller Wai-- crowd of ren of Ftorida- He called them nooaea nooatums ana sneeieu cm jerks" after a parade through Tal lahassee. ' i Within the i pattern of chang, however, thej-e were still hang overs from the days of direct vio lence and intimidation. j At Trenton; Ga.. Sheriff J. M. Lynch reported robed men taak seven negro prisoners from him. carried them o Hooker, Ga.. and there logged j tbe lot. The sher iff said he had arrested the ne groes after receiving complaints of "wild parties." Latest of the violence outbreaks was reported April 6 in Chatta nooga, just over the Tennessee line from Trenton j; A; 38 - year - old railway worker said five unmask ed white men invaded his house and beat him severely. The grand dragon says the Klan is "building upjfast." but it is pub-? lie knowledge that the Klan is bothered by internal dissensions. Last year two large klaverns af Manchester and Columbus. Ga., broke away to form "The Original Southern Klan$. Inc." The Anti - Defamation league of B'nai B'rith mvs the Klan is largely impotent outside of Geor gia. Within Georgia the Klan is" known to be having trouble keep ing its private busines private. Amitv High Band i Presents Concert AMITY Amity high school band presented; its spring concert !
