Show Klan attends Farewell to Idaho rally the Checker About 150 followers of white supremacist groups met near Hayden Lake, Idaho, in a gathering that included guards in watch towers, and the leaders of 13 groups from this country and abroad. The Kootenai County Sheriffs Office reported no disturbances or protests at the meeting site. Crosses were burned following an address by Don Black, the grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The last checker taxi cab rolled off the assembly line in Kalamazoo, Mich., the last of a group of vehicles commonplace in America's city street traffic since 1922. The Checker Motor Corp., still directed by a member of the founding Markin family, will continue to do subcontracting work for General Motors and Chrysler and run the Checker cab fleets in Chicago and Pittsburgh. Nearly 200 workers will be idled. |
