KKK rally is peaceful ige )ught the hers, prol greater qi J, burea hat the hi controlled United Press International NEW ORLEANS — The Ku Klux Klan, surrounded by uniformed and rlainclothes police, marched hrough the French Quarter Sunday nit avoided a confrontation with jpponents by holding the demon- itration two hours ahead of ichedule. “That was purely from a police equest because they wanted to ivoid any trouble if possible,” KKK eader David Duke said of the re- icheduling. “We were happy to ^operate with that. They didn’t ive us an ul- imatum, but they did request us to lo that. We d been getting a lot of hreats so they wanted us to move he rally up a little bit.” Police Superintendent James Par- ons headed a squad of 100 officers rho escorted the Klansmen on an |ight-block march from Jackson iquare to the Liberty Monument, a elic of the post-Reconstruction era dien whites regained control of the Jity government. Policemen irected metal barricades and Prmed a cordon around the 85- lember klan group during a brief leech by Duke at the monument. We stand here today because white people all over this country |re being discriminated against,” aid Duke, of Metairie, La. “We ave become second-class citizens demonstration arrived. The anti- Klan protesters then remained to denounce the Klan and the monu ment. We want to say here and now that we are declaring a victory over the cowardly Klan,” said Kalamu Ya Salaam, an organizer of the counter-rally. Salaam said the monument, an object of scorn by black people for many years, should be demolished. The city, in a move toward ap peasement, added a marker several years ago declaring that the inscrip tion on the monument reflected past attitudes. The Klan march was allowed de spite heavy pressure from civil rights groups who wanted city offi cials to prohibit it. Mayor Ernest Morial, the city's first black mayor, said he personally opposed the KKK, but the group was entitled to express its views. The city of New Orleans will not interfere with the expression of their ideas, no matter how dis tasteful, as long as they remain peaceful,” Morial said. The march was part of a weekend conference attended by Klan lead ers from many states, Duke said. A cross burning earlier in the confer ence resulted in the trading of gun fire between police and Klan mem bers. No one was hurt in the Saturday night exchange of shots but two men were arrested o n weapon charges and a third was wanted. The inci dent took place in an isolated sec tion of the city across the Mississippi River from downtown. Officers said they were called by worried resi dents who heard noises from a wooded area, but they were un aware the gathering involved the Klan. Duke said shots fired by one of his followers were meant to alert the group that intruders were pres ent. “We were way out in the country on private property,” Duke said. We re out in the country, these communists are trying to kill us and we re certainly going to defend our selves.” He said the cross burning was al lowed to continue after Parsons came to the scene. Those arrested were Philip A. Layton, 34, of Abita Springs, La., and MacArthur Hodges, 34, of Pasadena, Texas. Another man fled after firing three shots when officers approached. Cops catch man after he calls in crime United Press Internationa] CHICAGO — A Chicago man who called police to ask if they were looking for him has been charged with attempted armed robbery. Timothy Novak called police Fri day to see if they knew of an at tempted robbery at 2500 S. Drake Ave. Authorities first thought Novak’s call was a prank, but they routinely took his name and ad dress. A short time later, police discov ered Anthony Glogoski, 56, was beaten during a robbery attempt in his apartment at 2500 S. Drake. Police took a photo of Novak and showed it to Glogoski, who identi fied Novak as the assailant. Novak, 33, then was charged with the crime.
