Last week Imperial Wizard Hiram W. Evans of the Ku Klux Klan sounded from Atlanta "the clarion call to battle" against Huey Long. Here and there a bold Louisianan tearfully predicted "killings and bloodshed in this State." Newspaper editors in & out of the State deplored and decried. But it remained for sophisticated Columnist Westbrook Pegler to write from Baton Rouge...
