Ku Klux Klan
Head, Dies
ATLANTA, {A*)—A heart attack
last night killed imperial wizard
Samuel Green, the fanatical ruler
of the Ku Klux Klan.
There was no doubt, however,
that the Klan would carry on
though minus the energetic lead
ership of the thin, 59-year-old
physician with the Hitler-like
mustache.
A leading Ku Kluxer here said
the board of directors probably
would meet next week to name a
successor to the rasp-voiced little
man who breathed a spirit of re
surgency into the “invisible em
pire.”
Though Dr. Green had been a
Klansman for 31 years, his fam
ily asked that the fact be omitted
from his obituary.

Foreign Arms Aid
WASHINGTON, </P)— Henry A.
Wallace said today that passage of
an arms-aid program would “un
dermine the economy and military
security of both the U. S. and Eu
rope.”
What’s more, he said, the state
ments in support of the program
by President Truman, secretary of
state Acheson and the nation’s
military leaders “are the state
ments of men who are either in
tent on provoking war or are so
afraid their case is weak they
must incite passion to support it.”
The Progressive party’s 1948
candidate for President was a
witness before the combined for
eign relations and armed services
committees of the Senate.
WASHINGTON, (TP)—The state
department announced today the
foreign service transfers, includ- '
ing:
Charles Oliver Thompson, of
Fairbanks, second secretary and
consul at Karachi. India, to Johan
nesburg, South Africa, as consul.
