House Sleuths in South Prepare for Klan Hearings
Investigators from the House Un American Activities Committee move through the South to prepare hearings on the Ku Klux Klan possibly starting before July. No date set, no subcommittee named, hearings likely held in Washington with Justice Department help. Donald Appell leads field work. White House rejects claim that Johnson will halt the probe. Willis of Louisiana reportedly cooperates but says he will not rely on outside help.
