STANDS ALONE IN COMBATTING KLAN Windor, Ga., Man Takes Up Cudg- ¢l-Calls Mass Megting ol Public Winder, Ga., Dec. 15.—~With a dec- laration that a mass meeting against alleged previlling Ku Kiux Klan law- attends, Robert L. Woodruff, local merchant, early today completed ar- rangements for the session called to adopt a resolution declaring Barrow law and order. = A similar resolution falled at a recent mass meeting. Citizens from all sections of the South were here presumably to attend the meeting, while throughout Geor- gla interest has been aroused over the stralned relations between Mr. Wood- :ul: l.l;d the local Ku Klux Klan chap- er, Adjutant General Hope of the Georgia National Guard arrived here today, having been. sent by Governor Hardwick to try to prevent trouble between Mr. Woodruff and the klan. \ Woodruft Warned. * The situation was regarded ag tense but local authorities sald they would be able to cope with any emergency. | An elevinth hour warning was re- celved by Mr. Woodruff not to attend the meeting. Mr, Woodruff refused Governor Hardwick’s offer to furnish him ade- quate military protection. He said if members of the klan planned an at- tack on him, openly but from ambush and for that reason I do not believe a sheriff's posse or a militlary guard around my house would be of auy avail.” “What we need in Barrow county is to create a sentiment against the ||| lawlessness,” Mr. Ku Kilux Xlan Woodruff told Governor Hardwick at |§ a conference yesterday in Atlanta. “That is why we intend to keep.on having a citizens’ mass meeting until we can get a resolution passed.” Mr. Woodruff had a letter from Governor Hardwick he intended to read at today’'s meéting. Efforts of persons to regulate and censor the coriduct of persons outside of the courts and outside of the laws must ! be checked in Georgia was the sub-, stance of the chlef executive’s com- munication.
