Klansman Michael Ijowe of Waco said Wednesday that the event started when about TOO members planned a picnic in the area. But it has ballooned into a rally that will draw Klan members from throughout the Southwest, he said. If t.ho turnout is as high as is predicted, the Man members will outnumber the 1,600 residents of the Hamilton County town about 120 miles southeast of Abilene.

Mark Briskman, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League in Dallas, said the Klan membership is at its lowest point ever and the rally is designed to attract new members. Nationwide, the Klan has between 6,000 to 8,000 members and less than 200 in Texas, Briskman said.
