If you saw him for the first time you might easily Ihink of him as the regional office manager for a large corporation. Why does he belong lo the Klan.' He said he joined back in 1922 "out ol curiosity. I guess." In those days the Klan, preaching "while supremacy," began cloaking the south in an "invisible empire". After a while, t hough. Guy said, he lost interest. For 13 years he stayed aloof, returning six years ago. "1 fell." he said, "the need for some kind of organization to help take care of the southern tra ditions and way of life." These tra ditions Guy cannot define save that they mean a continuation of racial segregation. Ked Scare Important In this interim the Klan raised the cry of "communism ". Mainte nance of white supremacy and the fight against Communism were fused and the two arc inseparable in Guy's mind. 'Southern people." he said, "have never been against the Negro, but always for him. Hut they do not believe in social equal ity. You can give no class of peo ple equality. They've gol to earn it." "Then." Guy continued, "there's Ihe growing Ihrcal of Commu nism. I think conditions today are largely to blame on the Commit- first that wasn't care ful, things would get to be like in Europe. It's happening. "1 figure," Guy went on, "that the Klan is the best organization to straighten out conditions by civic activity. What kind of civic activity? Education. I guess that'll cover it." Does Guy believe in violence by the Klan? "Only," he said, "when the American government is threat ened by force." Would he consider Communism such a force? He would. Hut what about the law? "Some limes," he said, "people are afraid to act because of political pres sures." And if the law still fails to act? "Nothing the Klan could do," said Guy. "We could just briilg pres sure on the law enforcement agen cies." i The Klan's public record since 1921 contains a long list of actions outside the law beatings and in timidations. On the part of some officials, no longer connected os- gn between Hie while man and lu government in order thai I he Coiiiinuiiist-i may gain slreiiglh and overthrow the government." Does Guy think Negroes should have the right to vole'.' "Yes, if they 'are qualified." 'In the recent southern primaries and general elect ion, crosses were burned in various parts of the south, including Tuskegee, home of the lamed Negro institute. i Rut why does the Klan appear in masks before I he public? "Well," said Gu . ''we a r e against no organialion. no reli gion. I ml I hero are some who think we are II they knew who we were there inighl be a wholesale firing of all klansmen." Helicvcs Courts Fair Guy also believes Negroes get a "fair break" m the courts. "The judge says just another Negro cutting scrape' and let's them oil' wilh a lighter sentence than he would a while man,'' Guy explained. (This practice has been con demned by Negro and while lead ers, including Editor Ualnh McGtll of the Atlanta ( 'oust il ul ion, as a contributing laclor in the high violence rale among Negroes. i Would he object In working with Negroes? lAllanla has Ne gro policemen ) "If they bad the right qualifications." Guy answered. lensibly w ith the Klan. the record I "I wouldn'l care, bul I would ob- against the state includes fraud of Georgia.) Scoffs Fair Practice Idea Would a Fair Employment Prac tices commission work in the south? "It would be nihil ion law. Where majority of sentiment against it, it won't work," Guy said. "That's the kind of thing the Communists want. The Negro is being used to ji'ct lo working under them." Then Guy added by way ol con clusion, "If some Negro leaders would come forward and say I hey don'l believe in social equality, just like the pro- job equality, I think il would rc you've got a lieve a lot of friction." What about condilions general ly? "They were." Guy replied, "much better a tew years back." Next: Two Farmers. DEATH DARKENS SCREEN ST.
