Clark Ready to Act
If Columbians, KKK
Violate Federal Law
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Attorney Gen. Tom Clark, ad-
dressing the North Carolina Conference of Christians and
Jews in Charlotte, N. C., last week-end in connection with
National Brotherhood Week, warned that fascist elements
"before the war, during the war, and now are seeking to
spread their poison of defeatism, anti-Semitism and un-Amer-
icanism throughout our land."
He labeled as "sedulous, scurrilous and servile copies of
National Socialism" organizations such as the Columbians
and Ku Klux Klan. Clark promised to fight such subversive
elements "whenever they come into conflict with Federal
Law." He pointed out that America had grown great through
the efforts of "no single race, class or religion."
He said descendants of immigrants, "of every nationality,
of every creed, and of every color, have enriched and en-
nobled our national life for the greater good of all. Peace
with our sister-nations is unobtainable if we cannot have
peace at home. If we cannot be friends with our fellow-
Americans we cannot be friends with the world."
Clark also joined in presentation of the Carolina Israelite
award "for distinguished service in the furthering of human
rights and inter-faith amity" which was presented to Dr.
• Frank Porter Graham, president of the University of North
Carolina, and a member of the President's Committee on
Civil Rights.
Georgia Will Move to Revoke Columbians' Charter
• ATLANTA, (JTA)—Georgia authorities plan to proceed with
their suit to revoke the charter of the Columbians, anti-Jewish and
anti-Negro organizations, as soon as all the pending charges are heard
against Homer Loomis Jr. and Emory Burke, leaders of the group.
Burke was sentenced to three years on charges of usurping
police power: Loomis received a one-year sentence after being con-
victed of incitement to riot. Both face prosecution on charges of
illegal possession of dynamite. Loomis has several other indictments
pending.
(Richard E. Gustadt, national director of Bnai Brith Anti-
Defamation League, said the state authorities, the jury and the
people of Georgia are to be congratulated on the prompt action
taken against these "native fascists.")
