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,, Appreciation 'Was expressed by Rev. D. 0.
