No one ex cept the Klan has supported the white working people in America. “We wish to conduct this march in an orderly fashion. And because there will be a lot of people looking on, we want to show that the Klan is not a bunch of Hollywood stereotypes or rednecks, but an orga nization for the working white class. ” The marchers filed past the Car- ter-Mondale headquarters and twice were jeered by onlookers. Black said neither Carter nor his Republican opponent, Ronald Reagan, was doing anything to help “the plight of white America. “The Republicans are pretending to be on our side,” Black told repor ters. “They appear to be against affir mative action, forced busing and ex tensive taxation. I don’t know what the Republicans will do when they get in office, but they appear to be on our side while the Democrats are not.” 00 nzymes may help reduce damage from heart attacks United Press International RICHMOND, Va. — Researchers are conducting preliminary stu dies of enzyme injections to help dissolve blood clots which cause heart muscle damage during a heart attack, say doctors at the Medical College of Virginia. Up to 85 percent of heart attacks result from clots that block a heart “We will be present at Carter’s rally but in no way do we plan to disrupt it, ” he added. “We may carry some signs but we don’t want to break the law. We do, however, want to be there because Tuscumbia is where our national headquarters is and we want to make our views known.” Police Chief Charles Thompson said as long as the Klansmen stay in the parking lot of the courthouse and are orderly, “we won’t bother them. But if they attempt to march through the streets they will be arrested.” “We don’t believe the police have the right to arrest us and we don’t believe we will be arrested,” Black added. “The ordinance is too vague and we feel that if anyone of us goes to jail, the law will be thrown out and the charges won’t stick.” Other purposes for the march, Black said, are to show the Klan’s opposition to Carter’s policies on affirmative action, forced busing, un controlled immigration from Cuba, Haiti and other non-white countries and excessive taxation. Prof‘computes’ winner ofMiss America con test United Press International ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The 1981 Miss America won’t be crowned until Saturday, but a Northern Illinois University professor says he already knows who the winner will be. George Miller, a professor of business systems and analysis, said Sunday that green-eyed, blond Miss Kansas, Leann Folsom, will win the crown. Miller said the Wichita, Kan., native, 20, best fits the computer model for the annual pageant queen and has a 33 percent win probability. Miller’s “probability model” describes Miss America as a college senior who has green eyes, sings at the piano and majors in psychology. He also said Kansas has a good shot at winning in a pageant that usually favors contestants from the South. Among the talents his computer predicts do not score well with Miss America judges are baton twirling, dramatic dialogue, tap dancing, comedy and folk singing. He said ventriloquism and flute playing rank high.

Doctors said a major consequence of a heart attack is the death of heart muscle caused by lack of blood. The enzyme streptokinase is injected to trigger the body’s clot dissolving mechanisms. An MCV team performed the treatment on four patients. Blockages were cleared in two cases, but remained in the other two, doctors said. Dr. Michael J. Cowley, head of the MCV team, said the enzyme treatment is new, and experience with it limited, so its value is unclear. says Dr. Hill Hobbs announces the opening of PARK CENTRAL ANIMAL CLINIC for the practice of small animal medicine and surgery. 4405A S.
