pressure,
It allstarted iri May of.,1964.
Because two racial groups ap-
peared to be on a collision
course, a few Bogalusa •citizens,
including Mr. Blumberg, the
owner of the station, at-
tempted to head off trouble. In
October of that year plans were
made to bring in a speaker to
explain to the community lead-
ers some of the pitfalls of the
passage of, the Civil Rights Bill,
Because negro leaders were to
attend, it was to be 'a private
meeting and- by invitation -only;
Blumberg and others arranging
the meeting 'quickly discovered
that a 'place to hold the meet-
ing was difficult to find. Bomb-
ing threats were made against
a churcb. Others who had space
were frightened by calls, and
the meeting was cancelled.
In January of 1965, WBOX,
Blumberg's station, editorializ-
ed on the subject in a reason-
able appeal. Blumberg explain-
ed his position and went on to
say the. Civil Rights Bill was
now a law and no matter how
people felt about it, they must,
if order was to be maintained,
comply with the law. That
sparked the pattern of intimi-
dation.
• CAM* Thr st*n
The vise tightened down, an-
:y.M,a.wn
I other notch. There were more
{ phone calls —. nails in Blum -
berg's driveway ruined his tires,
Bricks were thrown through his
car windows. and then the boy-
cott began.
WBOX- sponsors were "called
and warned to stop advertis•
ing. By ,January of 9965, Blum-
berg was down to 10, sponsors,
and for about a month there
was an uneasy peace. Blum-
, berg worked to• get back his
commercial accounts and suc-
ceeded in getting most of them
when the vise tightened down
again. By the middle of March
Blumberg had only six spon-
sors left. He appealed to the
Mayor and the city government
for help. He asked the business'
cdmmunity---•not as individuals
• -but as a commuity, to make
a ,statement of reason. But his
appeals were ignored.
Life Threatened
In mid•March, Blumberg be-
gan an editorial campaign
against the Klan. The night
the first editorial was aired, six
rifle shots were fired into his
transmitter building. The boy-
cott by the Klan continued, and
so did Blumberg's editorials, on
the theme that the Klan had
taken, away the • freedom -of
speech, the freedom of • assem-
bly, and the right to free en-
terprise.
On June 1st, Blumberg was
asked to vacate his station' quar-
ters—the landlord wanted to
turn it into a bar., Blumberg
then operated out of a trailer
parked beside the transmitter
house, At that time Ralph Blum-
berg was down to two national
sponsors. His last local spon-
sor, in Blumberg's own words,
"a wonderful and loyal man",
finally quit because Bhimberg
was now compelled to get out.,
And the reason was basic --he
was broke.
Let me tell you more of whet
Blumberg said: Vire • always
have. a tendency to, throw
a1'ound with great abandon the
,words: Public Service — duty
•
and obligations. They sometimes
are meaningless until 'the chips
are„ dawn, 'This, of course, the '
moment of truth every broad-
caster or person must face at
one time or another in his ca-
reer. It is almost like playing
Russian roulette, but I honest-
ly feel that when a man accepts
a license from the FCC,.,he must
accept the responsibility that
goes with it. We felt our re-
sponsibility at this time, Blum-
berg' went on; was to expose
the Ku Klux Klan. When you
become a target of the Ku Klux
Klan, he -continued, you soon
learn that if exer there was a
devil on the face of this earth,
it lives and 'breathes and func-
tions in the cloaked evil of the
Ku Klux Klan, and you cannot
compromise with the devil.
Blumberg continued: Perhaps
it is because I keep thinking of
Nazi Germany and the millions
of people who died over there.
I keep -wondering 'it this is the
way it started with Hitler in a
small area of Germany, where
people shrugged their shoulders,
called him a nit, and turned
their backs, I keep thinking to
myself over -and over again,
"My God! It can happen here!"
Mr. Strong • told • ljo' v Mr.
Ralph Blumberg put his sta-
tion up for sale, He failed to
persuade his community of
Bogalusa, Louisianh;' tb support
his point of view, but he suc-
ceeded in' showing them what
courage is made of.
He said that the problem with
trying to overcome the Klan's
power was that people dgn't
want to be involved. • Educated
people just desire to stay out
of trouble. It all revolves
around it human problem, he
said. I can't 'think of any addi-
tional • piece of legislation that -.
could be as helpful as getting
these people involved with the'
social problems,,
