The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, October 3, 19897 IClao's birthplace From Associated Press reports PULASKI, Tenn. Strip away the orange ribbons, and Pulaski's court house square could be a movie set for an archetypal Southern town, where a Confederate hero stands on a pedestal and pickup trucks sport Dixie flags. But the orange "brotherhood color" affixed to storefronts, lampposts, car antennas and coat lapels is meant to make sure no one confuses Pulaski residents with the white supremacists who plan to march through town Satur day. "These people are outsiders, and this county is a victim of rape by these groups," said author Gregory McDonald, wha owns a farm in the area and helped organize the anti-march campaign. Restaurants, stores and markets have " agreed to close for the day throughout the town of about 8,000 people 90 miles ' south of Nashville. Residents have been ' asked to stay off the streets, and churches have planned activities to keep chil dren and teenagers away from down- town. The demonstrators are attracted to Pulaski by the town's role in the history of the Ku Klux Klan. The group was founded in Pulaski in 1 865 as a reaction to what community leaders saw as a threat by carpetbaggers and former Igmee ?6Mee .same &rl Stupppd by untie. wn bJZRG 6CWe AMP MNTeP CD Calvin and Hobbes HMG ON, ROZ.

It was disbanded four years later after the legislature passed an anti-Klan law. The modern Klan was formed outside Atlanta in 1915 by a former minister who added Jews and Catholics to the group's list of enemies. The Klan began marching in Pulaski annually in 1986 to protest the Martin Luther King national holiday. The parades typically draw fewer than 100 marchers. Community leaders say as long as the marchers obtain the proper permits and follow other rules they can't be stopped. "It started out as 35 to 40 old boys putting on their bed sheets and march ing around the square," said Mcdonald, author of the "Fletch" mystery novels. "These people considered the town's silence tacit approval. Nothing could be further from the truth." Town leaders decided it was time to act when the Aryan Nations of Hayden Lake, Idaho, announced plans to march here this year. The group advocates the formation of a whites-only country. Ten members of an Aryan Nation splinter group were convicted of racketeering in 1985 in a plot that involved murder, bank rob bery and armed confrontations to over throw the U.S. government.

Both sides claim Pulaski's Civil War hero, Sam Davis, a 21 -year-old Con federate scout who was hanged after refusing to reveal the name of a Rebel spy. Higgins helped wire an orange wreath to the hands of a statue of Davis on the town square. The white suprema cists will lay a wreath also. "He's our only hero, and they want to take him," Higgins said. Rev. Richard G. Butler, pastor of the Church of Jesus Christ Christian-Aryan Nations, said the march was set on the day after Davis' birthday to honor "white heroes." "Sam Davis was a hero of our people and nobody has ever honored him," Butler said. Butler's group claims several , hundred members across the country, but he did not know how many to expect on Saturday. "All members of our race are welcome," he said when asked whether Klan members and skin heads would march. He said the town's condemnation "doesn't bother us a bit." Police Chief Stanley Newton said at least 50 state and local officers will monitor the march.

Jim Robin son lived an uneventful life on Atlantic City's beaches until he and another homeless man were photographed sleeping in front of Miss America contestants in swimsuits. The discovery three weeks ago of the men beneath an overturned life guard boat interrupted a beach photo session for the beauty queens. Police quickly herded Robinson and his com panion from the beach. Today, Robinson, 42, has a job, a roof over his head and money in his pockets. His luck changed last week when he started a new job in the mailroom at Penguin USA, a publishing company in Bergenfield. "It's nice to work for a change," he said over a glass of ice tea at a lunch eonette near his job. "I'm not making a lot of money, but it's fine."

Robinson had hit a low point by the time an Associated Press photographer recorded the Sept. 9 episode just off the Atlantic City boardwalk before the startled contestants.
