Benson, BLAZING CROSS Klan marks anniversary with burning By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Ku KIux Klansmen, many of them garbed in robes and hoods, celebrated the 100th anniversary of their invisible empire by burning crosses in four Southern states. Several hundred persons gathered Saturday night at the base of Stone Mountain, about 16 miles west of Atlanta, to hear Imperial Wizard James Venable of the National Knights, of the Ku Klux Klan declare: "We are the last bulwark of ihis great nation. We are going lo save the white race. We are fighting communism and nig- gerisin and socialism." Other speakers denounced President Johnson, the civil rights movement, Jews and the Parent-Teacher Association. Near Victoria, an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 persons gathered Saturday night for that state's first major Klan rally in years.

Robert Jones, North Carolina grand dragon of the United Klans of America, said he was "thoroughly amazed and pleased" at the turnout. And the Virginia leader of the Klan, Marshall Kornegay of Raleigh, N.C., said he will open an office in Virginia within three months. Klansmen gathered in a field near Pine Bluff, Saturday night for the second time in a month. A speaker identified as the Arkansas grand dragon added the Supreme Court, Dr. Mardn Luther King Jr.

and Rep. Adam Clayton Powell to the denunciations. Congress to bar state laws against contracts requiring union membership. It is un-American for the federal government, by law, literally 'to force people to join any organization labor, fraternal, political, religious, or other as a condition for taking a job," the Virginia Democrat said in a statement. Johnson has called on Congress to pass before adjourning a bill to repeal Section 14B of the Taft-Hartley Act.

Section 14B permits states 'to outlaw union shop contracts between unions and companies. Employes covered by such contracts must join a union within 30 days to hold a job. The House already has passed the bill, and the Senate Labor Committee approved it last week by a 12-3 vote. With Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen threatening to lead a filibuster against it in the Senate, Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield has said the bill may be the last major legislation called up at this session.

Byrd said in his statement that "if a filibuster develops, I shall vote gagging the Senate with clottire" a rule limiting debate by each senator to one hour. Mansfield and others have said it would be difficult, if not impossible, to get the necessary two-thirds majority to invoke cloture if a filibuster is launched against the repeal bill. But supporters of the measure discount talk of filibuster. Byrd said that "Virginia and 18 other states have right-to- work laws" and "enactment of this proposal would betray and overthrow a fundamental liber- SEN. HARRY BYRD Raps labor measure ty for which this country was founded and which our form of government was designed to protect." "Labor union leaders want to exact tribute and obedience from all who work," he said, "and these power-hungry leaders have coerced the administration into this effort to strike down the right of: a person to accept a job if he does not submit." Republican Sen.

John G. Tower of Texas said in a statement addressed to his constituents: "You may sore that I will take a leading role in an extended debate pointing out the merits of right-to-work legislation." He added: is illegal lo deny employment to any person because of race, color, creed, or national origin. It seems most strange to me, therefore, that some persons so staunchly for those employment freedoms would deny employment to a citizen who prefers not to pay dues to a union." Texas is one of the 19 states with what many persons refer to as "right-to-work" laws. See You At The SURFER LOUNGE OPEN NOON DAILY The first the nationwide railroad settlement that averted a major strike after similar intensive White House negotiations in April 19(54. Steel orders were expected to slacken for some time as steel- using industries use up the big inventories they had stockpiled as a hedge against a strike.

A strike would have shut down about 80 per cent of the nation's steel making capacity. The contract, expiring Aug. 1, includes the four-month' extension with an 11.5-cciit pay hike ncgotiatcci last April to provide more bargaining time. The 11.5 cents, held in escrow since (lien, will be parceled oul to the Steclworkers. The extension last April followed Abel's ouster of longtime Steel workers' President David J.
