PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30 (AP). - Upholding the opinion of a lower court
in New Jersey, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals here today, in a decision
written by Judge J. Warren Davis, frustrated an attempt of the parent organization
of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan to enrich its treasury by confiscating
the share of the Point Pleasant (N.J.) Klan, No. 9, in a $1,000,000 piece
of Monmouth County (N.J.) real estate. The Point Pleasant Klan had
been expelled from the parent order.
Judge Davis and his associates, Judges Joseph Buffington and Victor B.
Woolley, upheld Judge Joseph L. Bodine of the Court of Errors and Appeals
of New Jersey in his dismissal of a receivership suit brought by the parent
organization against the Monmouth Pleasure Club, Inc., whose members are
composed of Klansmen, for the purpose of setting aside the interest of
the Point Pleasant Klan in the property and turning it over to the parent
body.
