Klan Military Training DALLAS (JTA) — The Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith has made public a report of Ku Klux Klan paramilitary activities in six states and urged the U.S. Attorney General to undertake regular FBI sur- veillance of the KKK "to protect American citizens from further terrorism and violence." The findings of the ADL report and a letter the ADL sent to Attorney General Benjamin Civiletti last week were revealed by Nathan Perlmutter, na- tional director of the ADL, at a session of the agency's • ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••-••••• • We Take The Worry Out Of • • • • • • • • • • .• • • Drapery cleaning when properly done is an art, we at CUSTOM • • • DRAPERY CLEANERS practice most diligently, in our never • IP • ending quest to improve our service to you by seeking better • • • systems and methods. • Don't take good drapery cleaning for granted.

FBI monitoring of the KKK was sharply curtailed in 1976 by guidelines — is- sued in response to charges of FBI abuse of its powers — which required evidence of actual or imminent violence before probing the actions of domestic groups. The ADL was commis- sioned this month by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to prepare an analysis of the Klan and other extremist groups. Perlmutter said the re- port on the paramilitary activities, which is being forwarded to Civiletti, will be part of that analysis. Describing the KKK as consisting of "armed racists, pathological haters of blacks, Jews and other minority groups," Perlmut- ter warned that KKK camps and clandestine training sites in various parts of the country present "a clear danger of new Klan violence more serious than even before." The ADL report showed the following: • Alabama: Bill Wilkin- son's "Invisible Empire, Knights of the KKK," the most violent of today's KKK groupings, operates a campsite near Cullman, Ala., which has been dub- bed "My Lai" and where trianing includes target practice with M-16 semi- automatic rifles, obstacle course proficiency, study of guerrilla tactics and prac- ticing search and destroy missions. While the exact site of the "My Lai" camp is un- known, there is a possi- bility that it is on the 47 CONCERNED ABOUT "CRIME and RECORDERS COURT" Endorsements * Assistant Prosecutor 11 Yri; Chief Recorders Court * Co-Author Mich.

Boyle Cott acre property in north Jefferson County owned by Alabama Grand Dra- gon Roger Handley. • Connecticut: The Grand Dragon of the relatively new branch of the "Invisible Empire" Klan, Gary Piscot- tano, a 27-year-old security guard from Southington, admits that practice shoot- ing and paramilitary train- ing are being conducted at secret "guerrilla camps." His KKK unit drew 1,000 persons to rallies held this year in Scotland, Conn. • Illinois: Although its members do not don hoods and robes, many of the members of the Louisville- based Christian Patriot De- fense League (CPDL) are members or former mem- bers of the KKK and share the KKK's belief that "white Christians" should arm themselves for an im- pending racial war — with the "enemy" blacks, Cu- bans, Mexicans, Haitians, Southeast Asians "and other immigrants and ra- cially impure Americans." CPDL leader John Har- rell regularly sponsors gatherings on his estate, and this year his self- described "defense" arm — the Citizens Emergency De- fense System — conducted so-called "survival" train- ing for the 400 to 500 per- sons in attendance. Included were courses on weapons; combat medics; marksmanship; guard dog training; as- sault teams; knife fight- ing; archery, crossbow and black powder guns, and street action. • North Carolina: Pro- spective members of the KKK Security Guard are trained in guerrilla warfare at a paramilitary camp in Johnstown County owned by Glenn Miller, a former Green Beret sergeant and county leader of the neo- Nazi National Socialist Party of America (NSPA). The training, in army fatigues, includes brandish- ing of semi-automatic weapons and handguns. In addition to the Klan, members of the NSPA and the National States Rights Party (NSRP) also train at the camp. The three hate groups — the KKK, NSPA and NSRP — formed an alliance, "The United Racist Front," in September, 1979, two months before the Greensboro shooting episode in which five people were killed. Some of the members of the groups which train at the camp were arrested in connection with the Greensboro shoot- ings. Texas: A KKK • paramilitary unit calling it- self the Texas Emergency Reserve (TER) conducts training activities two weekends each month at various sites in rural East Texas, including one in the vicinity of Anhuac, which has been temporarily shut down. The TER has an esti- mated membership of from 200 to 500, many veterans of various branches of the armed forces, including some members of the Army stationed at Ford Hood. • California: While there is no evidence that the KKK here is itself conducting paramilitary training, it encourages and promotes such activities. The White Point Publishing Co. of Fallbrdok, which is the KKK's book service, works on paramilitary s jects for do-it-yourself ter- rorists. Among them are U.S. Army manuals on making bombs, grenades, mines, chemical explosives, fuses and detonators. ADL's National Execu- tive Committee was also told that the Constitutional guarantee of separation of church and state isbeing eroded by recent court rul- ings and local government actions. NEC chairman Kenneth Bialkin said there are in- creasing attempts to inject prayer into the schools on the local level, as well as the Helms Amendment before the U.S. Senate which would prohibit the Supreme Court from reviewing school prayer cases. The NEC also studied a report which said the ter- rorist Palestine Libera- tion Organization is mak- ing diplomatic inroads in 18 European countries. There is: • Official political recog- nition of the PLO in Austria and Malta; • Establishment of in- formation and liaison offices, constituting de fac- tor recognition in seven other countries — Belgium, Cyprus, France, West Ger- many, Italy, Spain, Sweden; • Authorization for the establishment of informa- tion and liaison offices in three countries — Finland, Greece, Portugal. Abraham H. Foxman ADL's associate national. director, noted that in the remaining six countries where no offices have been established PLO interests are handled by information offices in neighboring countries, by the Arab League, by Arab diplomats, or by local pressure groups, including student asso- ciations. Meanwhile, the ADL awarded Bayard Rustin Joseph Prize for HUMa- Rights in recognition of the civil rights leader's lifelong battle in behalf of blacks and all minorities around the world. Rustin, board chairman of the A. Philip Randolph Institute and president of the Black Americans to Support Israel Committee (BASIC), was described by ADL as "a man ahead of his time." The prize is a medallion and a $10,000 stipend. can-1110 When your neighbor is in trouble, refrain from visible pleasures. — Gersonides
