The Kn Klux Klan has opened a recruiting drive in Washington to organise 3,500 members from among government workers, it was learned today.
Recruiting organizers have arrived here from Atlanta, Ga., it was reliably reported. This development follows a proliminary visit made here rocently by Samuel Roper, former police officer who is Imporial Wizard of the Association of Georgia Klans. Roper was told by sympathizers here that 3,500 new members could casily be enlisted here in less than 60 days. A tentative goal has been set at that figure.
Roper said recently that Klan recruiting was progressing “nicely” in Mississippi and Florida and was “picking up” in northern states, especially Pennsylvania and Indiana.
