Alabama Girl Scout Camp Raid Provokes Federal Inquiry
National Girl Scout director Mrs. Paul Rittenhouse asks Attorney General Tom C. Clark to investigate an Alabama incident described as unlawful entry. About 100 men went to Camp Pauline Bray Fletcher in Bessemer last Thursday night, with 12 masked white robes forcing instructors to leave within 24 hours. The two instructors named were Miss Elizabeth Ijams of Knoxville and Miss Katrine Nickel of Birmingham. Alabama Gov. James E. Folsom urged the local circuit solicitor to pursue the case.
