Following testimony by many witnesses, including former members, that the Ku Klux Klan taught racial hatred and fostered violence and intimidation, Superior Judge Alfred A. Paonessa yesterday revoked the California charter of the KKK and barred it from obtaining a new permit to operate in this state. The revocation of its charter was urged by Attorney General Robert W. Kenney.
