STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

Facts Prove It Is Not the KKK That Is Sleeping

.

Kennedy explains further: "Whereas Samuel 1
(Green) was a relatively mild Grand Dragon, Samuel
2 (Roper) is a veritable fire-breather. As an Atlanta
police officer who is sent into other states to bring
back fugitives from Georgia justice, Roper never
misses an opportunity to set up a Klavern—as he did
among the cops in Jersey City this year."

By PHINEAS J. BIRON

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME wishful reports lately

A that the Klu Klux Klan is a sleeping dog and
that the best thing to do is to let him lie. But all the
evidenge indicates today that it is not •a—
the Klan that is sleeping."
We quote from the lead of a series
of articles by Stetson Kennedy in the
Daily Compass, edited by Ted. 0.
Thacke•ey.
Stetson Kennedy is, without any
doubt, America's greatest authority
on the Klan. In the guise of a Klans-
man. he has taken part in many
masked motorcades "led by police
escorts," He knows whereof he
speaks.

Kennedy completely agrees with us tat the var-
ious defense agencies are fast asleep. His every word
contradicts the recent boast by a member of the
Anti-Defamation League staff that ''the Klan is a
myth."
In his articles, Kennedy says that "Since the death
of old Doc Sam Green this summer, the Klan has
entered upon a period of unification, expansion and
activation under the new Wizard Sam Roper."

government. lie is paid a yearly salary by the British
Colonial Office. His army is under the command of
British officers and his military machine is British
made and British maintained.

There is no doubt, in our opinion, that the foreign
office of Tel Aviv played its cards wrong and new
has opened the way for the return of Britain as the
decisive influence in the Near East.

EVEN ISRAEL POLICIES may be wrong. Its
diplomacy on the Jerusalem issue is rather short-
sighted, we believe, and recent events have confirmed
this view. Every honest man must agree that Israel
needs Jerusalem and Jerusalem needs Israel.
Any Israel government must insist on retaining
Jerusalem as an integral part of the Jewish state.
But Israel is'steering away from the original parti-
tion resolution in the United Nations when it recog-
nizes the right. of Abdullah of Jordan to stay in
Jerusalem and when it deals with Abdullah as the
spokesman fur the Palestinian Arabs.
The partition resolution stated in definite terms
that Palestine would be partitioned into a Jewish
State and• an Arab State for Palestinian Arabs.
Nothing was said about Abdullah of Jordan, annexing
the Arab part of Palestine. •
Abdullah is the Charlie McCarthy of the British

DAVID PETEGORSKY, executive director of the
American Jewish Congress, tells us that our item
about the threatened strike by the members of the
staff was contrary to the truth.

While he insists that we were three weeks late
with our story, he admits that the "contract is bear;
drafted and will probably be signed within a matter
of days."

,

I cannot accept Mr. Petegorsky's claim that "your
information is outdated."

The executive director of the Congress is out of
line when he says that "your fixed purpose in life
is to lie, distort and to mislead With regard to the
American Jewish Congress." We are of the opiniou
that it is Petegorsky and his co-leaders who are iniO
leading the American Jewish Congress. •

JESSEL VS. ASCII
IT WAS GOOD to see George

Jessel joining the chorus of voices
against Sholem .Asch's "Mary." It
is hard to believe, as Jessel says,
that Ascii really believes the
words he put into the mouths of
Mary and the simple Galilcans.
Yet his record speaks for itself.
Jessel sounds quite convincing
when he speaks of Asch's new
moods. He is less than that when
he refers to Yiddish as a jargon.
To speak of Yiddish as a jargon
betrays either lack of knowledge
