Klansman says TWA fired him for airing views on talk show
The Associated Press
KANANN CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City member of the Ku Klux Klan said yesterday he was fired by Trans World Airlines for airing his views on the Oprah Winfrey television show.
But TWA officials say absenteeism was the reason Dennis Mahon was fired. Company officials say Mahon went to the Winfrey show on the day he was scheduled for a hearing on absenteeism.
Mahon, who acknowledged missing the hearing, appeared on Winfrey's talk show along with Kansas City.
The men discussed the controversy about the Klan's effort to produce its own show on an American Cablevision channel. Cleaver has led the resistance to the Klan's proposal.
Mahon said he lost his job at the TWA overhaul base at
Kansas City International Airport on Tuesday because of his association with the Missouri Knights, a local Klan
"They fired me for being on the Oprah show and they were scared we was going to embarrass the company."
Donald Morrison, vice president of public affairs for TWA, said from TWA's St. Louis office that company officials were aware of Mahon's Klan activity, but that he was fed for absenteeism.
Last year, Mahon and another Klausman, J. Allen Moran, were interviewed in a University of Kansas journalism class to give report students experience in live interviews of extremist groups.
Mahon also appeared at KU last March as a security guard for Moran at the free speech forum in Hoch

Nader said lack of public concern mortgaged the world for future generations.
"We either get along by going along; buy our new stereos and

decided against installation until the task force made recommendation. But she said that the traffic commission recommended that the city commission do an extensive study of improvements to the street.
The traffic commission makes suggestions based on City Commission traffic studies. In May, city commission posted discussion on 80B Street.
While the answers aren't clear cut, the problems on 19th Street are.
Between Louisiana and Massachusetts streets, several stoplights direct traffic on 19th Street.
"You've got a lot of cars and streetlights that aren't very well coordinated," said Cond尔.
Stoplight coordination is one of Constance's ideas to improve the street. Widening the street through
West Campus to Kasold Drive are other plans he has considered.
Teresa Gardner, city engineer, said that widening the street would be difficult.
"It is certainly possible," she said.
"But right-of-way (property owned by the city) would have to be secured."
Gardner said the city would have to buy right-of-way from homes along 19th Street. Those purchases usually are expensive.
The Kansas University Endowment Association owns the land that would be involved in any campus expansion of 19th Street.
Martin Henry, the Endowment Association's property management director, said that the City Committee is investigating University planners, if 19th Street
was to continue through West Campus.
"I would suspect that we would be reluctant to limit our expansion possibilities," Henry said. "But we would certainly be willing to discuss it."
Another problem, Constand said, is that people probably will use 19th Street and Nassim Drive to reach an entrance garage near Allen Field House.
"We don't want to be disruptive to residential neighborhoods," he said.
Constance has consulted several neighborhood organizer representatives and hopes to have school district and University representative forces. He will look at task force results in the next three or four months.
