Klan Waives Five Arguments on Walker Act Appeal
Washington Oct 11 The Ku Klux Klan and New York state waived five constitutional arguments in the U S Supreme Court regarding the Walker act. The act requires local klan chapters and secret orders to file member offers and copies of charters and by laws with the secretary of state. Georg W Bryant, convicted of a related act in Buffalo, appealed to the high court. Klan attorneys say the law deprives life liberty and property without due process and denies equal protection. New York Attorney General Ottinger defends it as a valid police power exercise. The court previously dismissed a similar challenge for lack of jurisdiction.
