The Old and The New in Klan Regalia--Imperial Wizard James A. Colescott demonstrates in these two poses to old and the new full regalia of the Ku Klux Klan following an action of national Klan officials yesterday banishing the hooded visor and restricting the burning of crosses. From now on it is illegal for Klansmen to wear masks, as Colescott is shown doing at left, either publicly or privately. Colescott's robe is red while those of ordinary Klansmen are white.
