"The people who voted were not ignorant red necks," Duke said. "They're well educated, a median of 14 years of school, middle and upper middle income. This district represents the new potential for Klan membership." The size of Klan membership at present is highly debatable.

Clearly, the membership is minuscule compared wwith the 1920's, when the Klan boasted of 4 to 6 million members and sympathizers. The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that the Klan, for all practical purposes, disappeared after it was disbanded in 1944, but that it reorganized in 1954, the Supreme Court school desegregation decision, then quickly gained 14,000 adherence. By 1972, this had dwindled to 2,000, and by 1974 to 1,500. Now the FBI estimates there are 2,200 members a figure that is probably too low, based on observations of recent Klan activity. c) 1975 N.Y.

Duke had written the ad, selected the music, picked the time spots roll it fifty times in ten days, 20 spots in drive time, nothing before 6:30, nothing after 10, build up toward the and supervised the taping. It is all part of the new, cleaned up image Duke is trying to impart to the Klan sophisticated, college educated, media oriented, the man in the grey flannel bedsheet. Duke also represents the cutting edge of what appears to be a new respectability for radical racism, apparent in an increase in Klan membership, but more dramatically in growing support for Klan views among the white general public. This month, campaigning openly as national director of the Ku Klux Klan and Grand Dragon (state leader) of the Louisiana Realm, Duke polled 11,079 votes in a race for the state senate, a third of those cast, against an incumbent conservative who himself 'pledged resistance to gun control, busing for school integration and to a proposed merger of predominantly white Louisiana State University with predominantly black Southern University.

A similar indicator is the growth of political support for J. B. Stoner of Marietta, head of the National States Rights Party and publisher of the virulently racist newspaper, "The Thunderbolt." Stoner identifies himself publicly as "a white racist." A typical Stoner television advertisement in one of his three tries for state-wide office featured him in front of a Confederate flag saying: "I am for law and order, with the knowledge that you cannot have law and order and niggers too. Vote white. This time vote your convictions by voting white racist J.

B. Stoner into the When Stoner ran for governor of Georgia in 1970, he received 17,600 votes, or 2.2 per cent of those cast. In 1972, running for the senate, he received 40,600 votes, of 5.7 per cent. In 1974, running for lieutenant governor, he received 71,000 or just under 9 per cent. Voters, Duke said, "are just about ready for us." During the campaign, he leaned heavily on the slogan, "Give the majority a real voice."

Two of the notables, directors Roberto Rossellini and Franco Zef-firelli, have turned to God as the subject of costly and ambitious productions. A few feel that viewers of erotic- films, having seen everything, will still take in more of the same but are also ready for nudity that appeals to reason as well as the libido.

"Sex yes, but now only for laughs," says director Sergio Martino, a veteran of erotic films His next production is a farce on sex.

Well, a modest liberation at least, thanks to a right-on right-hander from Arlington Heights, 111., Rosalind Wattel. Her new company, Left Hand Plus offers a catalog of items to make life more bearable for the 10 to 20 per cent of us who do everything "wrong." Lefties will still have to suffer through. a right-handed world: the inconveniences of writing "hook-style" or dragging the hand through fresh ink; a language that looks up to things right and not to those left out.

And even influential southpaws such as President Ford will have to put up with right-handed doorknobs, drinking fountains, automobiles and the like. But while might makes right, deft makes left, and Mrs. Wattel promises new hope. She is offering left-handed sporting equipment, kitchen utensils, watches, scissors and books for lefties. Why? "Until five years ago, I had taught in several elementary schools," she said.

"And it bothered me to see the problems encountered by left-handed third- and fourth-graders. Finally, P.M.

Rossellini, a founding father of postwar realism and the director of "Open City," issued a public appeal against pornography in a major assault on the erstwhile trend in Italy. He said erotic films were disseminating "aberration into current ethics." Rossellini, however, says he is not advocating religious views or even morals. His latest work, "The Messiah," depicts Christ as a social redeemer rather than God, stresses "Christ the peasant" rather than the Almighty creating miracles.

He says, "The film has no message and is a study of the power structure of the time." Zeffirelli, too, is an arch foe of pornography, complaining that it has "fatally lowered" the cultural level of Italy's vital film industry, which employs 300,000 persons for its 250 films a year, highest in the world. He is now directing a six-hour television documentary on "Jesus of Nazareth," at a cost of $15 million. But currently the films in wide demand and supply are noted for their thin plots and heavy nudity in a trend that began a decade ago and still prevails. Legitimate, by-nudity-alone films have become so prevalent, back on the screens after court battles, that hard and underground porno has never aroused significant interest in Italy. But despite a harsh campaign by influential directors and critics, Eros has taken a long lease in movie houses.

We have no committee head. Like the Three Musketeers we must take equal credit or blame, whatever your view may be, for our activities because we all shared in them equally. The question was raised, "What is the harm?" Our answer is that these magazines tend to picture sex in an unnatural, unhealthy, irresponsible way. The message conveyed is that bodies are simply commodities to be bought and sold like cigarettes or newspapers.

We believe the environment plays an important part in shaping our children's attitudes. It is impossible in any reasonable way to prevent our children's exposure to this material since its placement makes it so accessable to them. Mankind's use of boycott as an economic tool can be traced to some of our greatest moments in history. The Boston Tea Party and Gandhi's Salt March to the Sea quickly come to mind as similar situations. Thank you all for your words of encouragement, for helping us by expressing your opinions against the display of these magazines, and for thanking the stores that have removed them.

Still, we see that much remains to be done. We are fully committed to achieving our goal, that is, to keep the sale of this material private and away from our children. From now on we expect to work through our churches and govermental bodies to achieve this Sincerely, Janice Humes Marlyn Logan Wally Hankley Editor's note: The Mercury has taken no stand on this question, has itot expressed an editorial opinion, and has not issued any statement to stores which may be involved in the dispute.
