“War” against the B’nai B’rith, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ of America and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was declared here last night in a statement issued by leaders of three Ku Klux Klan groups which were merged into a united body.

The three groups are: the Federated Klans of Alabema, the Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the Association of Carolina Klans. The only Ku Klux Klan groups which are still outside the united Klan is the Klavern of Atlanta.
