KKK Survives on U. S. Laxity
In Collecting Back Taxes
By The Attorlated Nrgrs I'reai
W/A8HINGT0N— Survival of the KKK wag attributed, last
W week, to the hesitancy of the U. S. government to collect
$685,305.08 in unpaid income taxes, covering profits in race-
•hate peddling during the '20s,
The government's failure to compel the KKK to pay its
back income taxes is now responsible for its survival said Stet-
son Kennedy, author of "Southern Exposure," in an article he
wrote for New York's PM news- and the same organization.
Paper. Kennedy Joined the Klan In | "it not only continues to operate

Khlglits of the Ku Klux Klan,' but

A legal alibi for the Ivlan's suc-
cessful evasion of income tux pay-
ment was recently supplied by Com-
missioner of Iuterual Itevenue
Joseph I). Nuuan Jr., in a hitherto
unpublished letter that revealed
"the bureau has reached the conclu-
sion that thero Is no busls upon
which the aase could be referred to
the department of Justice with a
view to instituting legal proceed-
ings for the collection of the tuxes."
Nuuan claims the Klan that has
been active since the war Is not the
same KKI> organization that owes
the federal government more than
$000,000 In Income taxes, said Ken-
nedy, although the post war Klan
organisation burns fiery crosses,
flogs and kills people In the same
laaunci as the allegedly 'old" or-
ganization.

Race Community, Close to
Water Front, is One of
Hardest-Hit Areas
By The Associated Jfepro Prest
rPEXAS CITY, Texas.—A heavy toll of Negro life was taken
A in last Wednesday's blast here that literally wiped out the
Negro community along with nearly every other 3ection of this
small industrial city.
No official estimate of Negro dead and injured has been
reported, but the proximity of the Negro vicinity to the water-
front indicates that it was among the hardest hit of all areas
here. Rescue workers lost all racial i
consciousness and thought of tradi-1
tlonal southern Jim.Crow by piling
the dead together.
The total number of Negro res-
idents here was about 700 or
al
which the Negro is channeled,
limited and circumscribed, and thus
prevented from participating fully
In the American way of life.
Said Rev. James in part: "Much
has been said of 'separate but equal'
facilities and services as far as
educational opportunities for Ne-
groes are concerned. But this is
just a phrase. In reality, no such
thing exists. If 'separate but equal'
facilities and services had actually
been furnished to Negroes, the cost
ot duplicate Institutions would have

the case of facilities for Negroes,
the total cost of the dual establish-
ments would still be obviously ex-
cessive and the quality of the serv-
ices would necessarily suffer.
"Even if the South had not been
under the pressure to maintain
duplicate facilities, it would have
had to strain Its limited resources
to keep pace with the more prosper-
ous North. And as it is, the economic
plight of the South is substantially
aggravated by its thoroughgoing
racial segregation."
lie went 011 to cite the grossly
inferior provisions for Negro chil-
dren, compared with those for white
children, from the elementary level,
and secondary schools, through the
higher Institutions of learning. Rec-
ords of salary differences for white
and Negro teachers were cited as
were per capita outlays for the edu-
cation of Negro and white pupils.
"Education," declared Rev. James,
Is supposed to be the instrument
which leads to personal and social
progress. And segregated education,
which means Inferior education, is
a hampering of the possibilities for

from the I'uied States would lie long

He complimented the choir for Irs
I fine music, and asked that his per-
sonal greetings be returned to Gov-
ernor Jester and to the good neigh-
bors of the t'nlted States. The occa-
sion was refarred to by Preatdei t
Aleman as a further demonstration
of Pan American solidarity.

White Kentucky Jury Rules
Againt J.Crow Diner Curtains
By Th« Atnoetated Jtegro Prett
V 0UISVILLE, Ky.—An all-white jury here last week ruled
against the practice of railroad Jim Crow dining car cur-
tains by awarding two Negro passengers $800 in a $25,000 suit
against the Louisville and Nashville railroad company.
The two-day trial was climaxed by an impassioned appeal
to the democratic consciousness of white Kentuckians by Atty,
Charles W. Anderson Jr., a member of the state legislature,
who pointed out that the under-
lying democratic priuclple was more
Important than the $25,000, which
he suggested be reduced to a $500
Judgment.
8tirred bysfels argument, the Jury
huddled, then returned a verdict in
favor of James E. Stamps of Chi-
cago, president of the Flak Univer-
sity Alumni association, and Ennls
L. Powell of Charleston, W. Va., the
Supreme Liberty Life Insurance
company's manager for the state of
West Virginia, who were denied the
right to eat breakfast outside the
Jim Crow dining car curtain on the
Louisville and Nashville railroad's
train on March 17, although all the
tables behind the curtain were oc-
cupied and vacant tables remained
In the so-called "white" section of
the diner.
Stamps and Powell were return-
ing home from an executive com
occupied except one beyond the sec-
tion provided for Negro passeugers.
They attempted to alt down at
the vacant table, they testified, but
were prevented from doing so by
the steward, who told theui they
could only sit nt the two tables re-
served for colored people. Negro
waiters supported {he steward's
testimony that if they waited a few
minutes they could be served in the
"colored section "
Stamps And Powell declined to
accept bfttUttt in their drawing
room, one waiter said. Also, Stamps
and Powell declined a second offer
to be served behind the Jim Crow
curtain because they did not have
time to finish their meal before
reaching their destlualioua, they
said.
