Rev. Marsh is eminently wellqualified. He is a member of ihe national Committee oq Problems of Segregation of the United Presbyterian Church and is widely known in civic activities including the Indianapolis Church Federation, Marion County Health and Welfare Council, Eastside Chrisr tian Center and the Govexnor’s Council on Youth. He has a son who is a senior at Shortridge. THE OTHER Better Schools candidates are A tty. Sigmund E.

Kuether, research chemist f Eli Likiy & Co.; Bruce.H. Richards, superintendent at Allison Division of General Motors Corp., and Dr. Rudolph R Schreiber, psychologist who is immediate past president of the Indian-
polis PTA' Council.
Four of the candidatcr are Democrats and three Republicans. The slate reportedly has the solid backing of the AFt-CIQ, as well as unofficial support of the PTA Council, League of Women Voters aid the Indianapolis Council of

in effect in seven.
DURING THIS PERIOD, purges of Negroes from voting rolls have been widespread in Louisiana. Ip some areas of the South, Negroes trying to register were confronted with threats, slowdowns, evasions
and outright refusals.

Critics say this year’s Citizens’ i able to obtain reliable figures, the
x . x— number of Negroes registered in
1958 totaled 1,028 827, as compared to 1,074,672 in 1956, a drop of
45,845.
These eight inclucled Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina and Virginia, where registration figures all come from official sources. In North Carolina a state-wide estimate was made by the executive secretary of the state election board In Texas, SRC sponsored a ? county-by-c o u n t y check, the first of its kind in recent memory. AN ESTIMATED 25 PERCENT of the eligible Negroes were registered in the South as a whole in 1966, as compar'd to 60 percent of the white citizens of voting age. The 1958 total represented about the same percentage, a little over 25 percept of the Negroes of voting
age.
However, the report pointed out, many areas of the South have a long way to go to achieve even a 25 percent registration of Negroes. With some exceptions, Negroes generally continued to have the greatest difficulty in registering in the rural Black Belt counties where the ratio of Negroes to whites is
highest.
SKC listed 29 counties in the South where no Negroes are registered. These include one county in Virginia, on in South Carolina, two in Georgia, three in Florida, two in Alabama, one in Tennessee, an estimated 15 in Mississippi and four in Louisiana. The majority have populations of over 50 percent
Negro.
