K.K.K. CHIEF RESIGNS
‘lntegration Must Be Accepted’ (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) MIAMI, January 1. The Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in Florida (Mr Bill Hendrix) is leaving the organisation. “I see no way to stop racial integration and it looks to me like the best thing to do is to apcept it,” he told the American Associated Press. “I cannot agree to go outside the law to maintain segregation.” Mr Hendrix, twice an unsuccessful candidate for Governor on a platform of segregation, said he would not "agree to such things as bombings and burning schools. But that's what the Klan is going to have to turn to unless it agrees to go along with the laws,” he said.
