KKK at Work-The Ku Klux Klan from Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and Tennessee burned this 25-foot cross at a membership rally here Saturday night. Part of the crowd of 2,000 is shown in the eerie light. Klan leaders originally called for 20,000 members to attend but “adverse publicity” reduced the figure.
